#6  Sorry mods. For some reason when I skimmed the article this morning, I came under the false assumption that he was living in Canada now. Perhaps I need to not post before going to work unless I've had at least four hours of sleep ha ha! Anyway two bad postings today - not good. I'll make an extra effort to be careful, and I'll be sure to try and hit the tip jar soon. Thanks to all who so patiently clean up my messes. It's yet another thing I have to be thankful for this week.

#4  Why is this article posted under "Great White North"? The whole thing is about Afghanistan. Only being reported by a Canadian newspaper.

#3  This guy is clean-shaven. In Afghanistan. I would wear a moustache. Just for camouflage.

#2  Neither Barakzai nor his mother knows which branch of Taliban has revived its interest in the family – the ideologues or the cash-seekers.

There's a difference? Thugs are thugs are thugs. As with all of Islam, the "religion" bullshit is just a smokescreen to obscure their bloodthirsty scramble after political power and nothing else.

#1  Then, more calls to Barakzai's phone, one telling him he must kill his mother. "Now I don't even answer it, unless it is my mother herself. She checks on me 20, 25 times a day," he said.

The Minute Men of the left. The indigenous resistance the left allies with.

The sooner we start trying and shooting traitors the better.
