Militants Hang 8-Year Old Boy In Southern Afghanistan By David Ariosto, CNN July 24, 2011

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- An 8 year-old boy was hanged by militants in Afghanistan's Helmand province after the boy's father -- a police officer in the southern city of Gereshk -- refused to comply with militants' demands to provide them with a police vehicle, officials said. Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned the hanging, saying "this action is not permitted in any culture or any religions," according to a statement Sunday, which provided details of the incident.
Karzai said he has ordered local authorities to root out the militants and arrest them "as soon as possible."
The boy was kidnapped Friday. It was unclear when he was killed. The incident comes amid a recent wave of attacks on local officials who are considered anti-Taliban. Less than two weeks ago, Ahmed Wali Karzai, Karzai's half-brother and a provincial council chief in neighboring Kandahar, was killed in his home by a longtime bodyguard.
Elsewhere on Sunday, formal ceremonies marking the handover of security to Afghan forces took place in Kabul and Panjshir province.

The same Taliban the US is negotiating with... not a peep from the turd-in-chief... not even a statement the knuckledraggers were being “inappropriate” or “inartful,” or “acting stupidly.”
I wonder if the knuckledraggers raped the boy prior to killing him.. it is Afghanistan after all. A place like that must be fertile ground for NAMBLA.
Instead of pissing away blood and treasure there, I wish we`d have just turned that diseased muslim landmass to radioactive dust. You could have better success teaching a jar full of cockroaches to form a viable nation. It`s time to accept the fact some cultures aren`t worth the effort.
Guess the Russians wern’t so dumb after all by pulling out of that hell-hole long before we even thought of going in.
Many of our fine young people have and will pay the price and for what? Nothing good will come from this “war”. Best bet would be to turn the whole damn place into a pile of burned out samd with nothing left. (unfortunately, there would be some “good” people taken).

I do not like Bush Bots,Now go play with your baby dolls.
The time for ending your pettiness has come and gone. Time to just STFU and stop disrupting the thread.
use of commas. They don’t go,into a sentence without a space between the words nor do they go ,connected to the word following. Pretty simple too bad it is too much for you.
“BTW Just so you Know,A person loses for being a grammar Queer.” Now you are outing yourself and illustrating your incorrect use of commas.
“In closing,Bush Bots are hated in here!” Not as much as pure FOOLS.

I see the DU FOOL and NOBODY in real life,Clue ;sob.
It seems to have become more prevalent on Free Republic to criticize the grammar or punctuation of another poster.
A basic rule of manners is that one never criticizes others in public ... not their table manners nor their grammar.
Plus it’s totally unimportant. We have problems. The way someone uses commas is not one of them.
Please go and sin no more.
It's not much different from Mexico.
Even more incomprehensibility, keep it up.

I see you went to school to be a Idiot and got a degree!
Where is "here", your mother's basement with your pet mouse in your pocket?
You're in the the wrong house my friend.........
“KNOCK IT OFF!”
You got it!
Apparently your degree is from DU (and that ain’t Duke) since you are infected with both blinding ignorance and blinding hatred of Bush. You probably call him “Chimpy”, too.
Whether or not he is a “Bush bot” is immaterial. Your response to him doesn’t suggest that you are confident of your post’s readability. Indeed, your response makes better logical sense if you believe that he has a point.
