(begin rant)

Considering that we've been endlessly told that the war on terror is a sham and illegal war, that it's all been an excuse to steal the oil and land from the entirely honorable and virtuous peoples of the region and how the West's oppression of these wonderful people is the entire cause of all their problems I thought that I had been adequately informed of their wonderful humanity. 

Silly me, I guess not.  I really hadn't been properly schooled on the virtuous nature of treating women far worse than animals, murdering and torturing those who don't want to abide by the ravings of a deified pedophile and of having the ultimate dream of transforming the entire planet into a living Hell.

It was the Taliban who blew up ancient Buddhist statues in March of 2001 because they were an offense against Islam.

If they want to hear them they should watch the DNC convention this week.

Thank you! Reporters aren’t showing the humanity of the Taliban because the Taliban has no humanity.

[fishergirl]

“present this in a different way, so that people would be interested” The only reporting that interests me regarding the Taliban is how many of the slimeballs are killed by our brave troops on a daily basis.

Oh okay then....here's a snapshot of Taliban 'Humanity' for ya:

reporters are not showing the Taliban's humanity

That's because there are no known documented cases. Bigfoot is more of a reality.

This garbage gets trotted out during every war. It is widely rejected (as it should be) when focused on foes, but gets lapped up when it comes to "good friends", as it was during WWII when our war propaganda included blessings of the glorious soviet revolution and the brave, moral actions of our communist brothers in arms against the Axis.

This crap also happened for the taliban already - yes, we already said nice things about those subhumans once, and STILL have failed to learn that THE ENEMY OF OUR ENEMY IS NOT NECESSARILY OUR FRIEND. Foes are never united by their shared opposition to a common enemy - it is a romantic fiction borne of unbridled optimism at best, but more often borne of cowardice. Arming and training the enemies of tomorrow to fight the battles of yesterday will work to our advantage when pigs fly out of the butts of camels.

One can only wonder what the response would have been if a variant of that question had been asked in 1940.

"What's lacking in the coverage of the Afghans Germans is the sense of the humanity of the Afghans SS.

Correction: Media fails to report on the inhumanity of the Taliban

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

I think what he may be hinting at is that not all people who fight for the Taliban are inhuman monsters. It’s a bit of a simplistic argument to make to suggest that. There were some people who fought for the Nazis who were decent human beings, even if the side they were on was the wrong one....

This humanity?

There is nothing human about a monster with the morals of a reptile.

A BBC presenter has attacked coverage of Afghanistan's ongoing war, claiming TV reporters are not covering the 'humanity of the Taliban'.

They CAN'T present it, because the Taliban HAS none.
