Cab Driver Beheaded by Taliban

(Angoor Ada, Pakistan) Here's a gruesome reminder that the Global War on Terror is far from over.

From DailyTimes.com.pk:

Suspected tribal militants beheaded a cab driver in South Waziristan for being a "US spy" and a frequent visitor to an American military base in Afghanistan, official sources told Daily Times on Wednesday.

The body of the man, identified as Khan Mati, was found on Tuesday near Angoor Ada, the last Pakistani town before the Afghan border in South Waziristan, sources said.

Mati, who had been missing since April 17, was believed to be a frequent traveller to the US military base in Macha Dadkot in Paktika province in Afghanistan. He is the second taxi driver to be abducted and killed in Angoor Ada over suspicion of being a US spy.

Sources said that Haji Omar, the Taliban chief in South Waziristan, said that "we do not waste bullet on such suspects and prefer beheading them."

In my mind, the Taliban terrorists are murdering scum with no chance of redemption. Those poor cabbies were likely only trying to go with the flow and put food on the table for their families. Instead, they're murdered by Taliban fanatics.

And, all the while, Sen. Dick Durbin claims the U.S. is the bad guy and Yale University recruits students from the Taliban. The leftists have turned America into bizarro world.

1 IP you seem to overlook the most important thing about the ex(?) Taliban student. It Is not that he was accepted into one of the most prestigous institutions of higher learning in the entire country, it was that the Federal Government allowed him entry into the United States. I don't care if he was going to some no name community college, I DON'T WANT HIM HERE

2 John- It's even worse. Yale actively recruited him! This moron doesn't even have the equivalent of a GED. Furthermore, this SOB filled a slot that a MUCH more qualified student was denied. What crap.

3 >>>The leftists have turned America into bizarro world. Indeed. But it's so gradual that folks hardly notice it happenning. Suddenly things are just fucked up and people wonder why. BECAUSE LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER, THAT'S WHY.

4 Mark- Yale says he's not in a degree program, so it's not clear that he's taking someone's slot. What Yale sees in him is anyone's guess, but for my part I'd guess they just want him on hand because he's an interesting specimen. They'd probably enroll a Thuggee too, if any were available. As to the the viciousness of the Taliban, you guys give them too much credit. The Afghans have been gut-spilling fiends before the Taliban was ever heard of. Or Islam, for that matter. Because our soldiers are among them we've just got a front-row seat to the same behavior the Sovs saw before us, and the Brits before them, and so on back to the days of Alexander.

5 john ryan: You can stop tooting that horn. We got it. It's of concern too. It's obviously not policy. Someone slipped him in under the radar and we all hope s/he gets caught. How do you know they're not looking for who got him in the US or that they haven't already found him/her and reprimanded them? The "real" problem is our educational institutions who compete to get these thugs. If they hadn't wanted him and if the guy out west hadn't lobbied to get him here, his name never would have appeared at the State Department for approval. Supply and demand. Senator John Cornyn is all over this. He wants to review Hashemi's visa. Let's wait and see if he's able to get to the bottom of it.

6 Anyone have any ideas how many FBI agents are watching the Taliban man -- or how many taps are on his phone? Sometimes things aren't what they seem. Agree with the animals part, they warrant extinction as the final solution. The war goes on, at least for half of the country.

7 Bill, given past performance, the odds of the FBI even knowing about his presence in the country are pretty slim. The entire Federal government needs to be dismantled.
