| Oh, boy...sounds like Hamid's on the opium again. [Tolo News] Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... decreed the release of 5 would-be jacket wallahs set to sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, in a pestilential prison with a life-long lock by Afghan cops. President Hamid Karzai stressed that the released suicide bombers will be provided with education scholarships inside or outside the country, especially in Turkey.
Among the suicide bombers who are going to be released soon, there are still Death Eater ideologies with some promising to continue their efforts. But the president has ordered the release of these imprisoned suicide bombers ahead of Eid, which will be celebrated in a couple of days and right after the end Ramadan. "Enemies of Islam take these kids and use them in kabooms inside mosques where people offer their prayers. They are doing it to defame Islam and make people turn their faces from Islam," President Karzai said. Head of Afghanistan's Council of Clerics Qeyamuddin Kashaf said: "You kids are not obliged to do so." Some of the would-be suicide bombers said they will face threats, because they surrendered to Afghan cops before carrying out their attacks. Providing suicide bombers with scholarships is another privilege that the president insisted. "Those among them who want to go home, take them to their homes and hand them to their parents so that they are safe," Karzai said. "And others like these youths who have lost their parents don't care for him and should be provided with education facilities inside or outside the country like our own sons." President Karzai decreed the release of suicide bombers as the National Directorate of Security earlier urged the formation of a special tribunal for terrorists, and the call was welcomed by Karzai's senior legal advisor. | |||

| #1 Providing suicide bombers with scholarships is another privilege that the president insisted. So is that supposed to deter or entice suicide bombers? Allah may not know but Adam Smith does. |
