2007-11-18 Afghanistan

AFGHANISTAN'S Taliban militia shot dead five policemen they had abducted two months ago and strung up their bodies in trees in a village, a provincial police chief said.

Alerted to the bodies on display, police went today to the area in Uruzgan province and killed two rebels in a firefight, provincial police chief Juma Gul Himat said. The officers had been captured in Dihrawood district, where they were also hanged, he said.

The extremist Taliban have executed several Afghans who work with the administration and its international allies, putting their bodies on display as an example to others.

#1 HWR and AI to raise international outrage on the treatment of Taliban prisoners in 9, 8, 7....oh, wait, never mind. These aren't the droids we're looking for. Move along.*

*The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded.

#2 No, no, no, P2K. I can see you don't understand. Those folks wouldn't be doing that if we had not stuck our nose in their business, so their barbarity is our fault.

We, on the other hand, are not allowed panties on heads, because we're supposed to be civilized - even the military.

Did I get it correct for our friends at HRW and AI?
