#5 How curious. Dogs are unclean, but dog-fighting is popular. I guess the strictures of Islam only apply if they don't interfere with what you want to do...assuming you're a muslim, of course; otherwise they apply to everyone and everthing.

#6 Faizullah Qari Gar, a Kandahar resident who was at the dog fight, said militant commanders' bodyguards opened fire on the crowd after the bombing.

One sure way to get the bomber's handlers and photo crew. Unfortunately the most newsworthy statistics were not even covered, ie, casualties among the dogs.

#8 Read any accounts of Army or Marines from the fight in Faluja. The dogs were eating the dead Jihadis. Cats were second.

#9 Dang the ASPCA is really playing rough these days.
Suicide vests? I don't suppose we'll see this episode on Animal Planet

#10 It was PSPCA - the Pakistani equivalent of the ASPCA.

Sort of like the Israeli version of PETA is called PITA.
