#1 Sounds like they need a medic with some knowledge, 3 weeks to pronounce death .

#2 I'd say, it's more like he was severely wounded and required medical treatment that the Taliban just didn't have. He lingered for three weeks without analgesics until sepsis set in.

#3 Pakistani security and intelligence sources confirmed Mahsud's death, but denied that he died in Multan and instead said he died somewhere in the tribal region.

Bribe money cleared, but a little too late?

#6 Leader of the Pakistani Taliban sounds like a high risk occupation with low pay and no benefits. All the goats you can boink but, c'mon, is it worth it? Vying to take over his position doesn't sound like a good career move to me. But then I guess they don't have too much demand for computer programmers in that neck of the woods.

#8 One such translator was an American of Haitian descent -- representative of the extraordinary work that our men and women in uniform do all around the world -- Navy Corpse-man Christian [sic] Brossard. And lying on a gurney aboard the USNS Comfort, a woman asked Christopher: "Where do you come from? What country? After my operation," she said, "I will pray for that country." And in Creole, Corpse-man Brossard responded, "Etazini." The United States of America.
