Taliban announces surrender in Swat Valley

Good.

Taliban collapsing in Pakistan?

Let's hope so.

Taliban raped me, but they also respected me

Only someone on the left could utter such nonsense.

"In November 2008 a Dutch journalist, Joanie de Rijke, was abducted by Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. She was held captive, raped repeatedly, and released after six days for a ransom of 100,000 euros ($137,000). After her ordeal, she acknowledged that her captors “did horrible things to me,” but added in several media interviews “They also respected me,” and emphasized “They are not monsters.”"

Will this encourage the Taliban to rape more women?

Taleban using white phosphorus

I bet you won't see this on the BBC.

Revelations

about the Taliban.

US Afghan strikes 'killed dozens'

Blares the BBC headline. As usual with the BBC, it's what they leave out that's important. Strange, but the far left wing Guardian fills in the blanks. The BBC to the left of the Guardian?

"The provincial police chief, Abdul Ghafar Watandar, who accused the Taliban of using the civilians as human shields, said the death toll could be even higher."

And there's this:

"Watandar said Taliban guerrillas had herded civilians into houses in the villages of Geraani and Ganj Abad, that were then struck by warplanes.

"The fighting was going on in another village, but the Taliban escaped to these two villages, where they used people as human shields."

Leave it to the BBC to cover for the Taliban.

Update. Here's a video report on the Taliban using human shields.

Caving to the Taliban

Appeasement never works.

The Devil Wears A Black Turban

"The Taliban wants to nuke you in the name of god."

Pakistan - Taliban sold out

for peanuts.
