Hey Jack... negotiate this

The next time Taliban Jack starts to think about cozying up to the Afghan insurgents, maybe he could consider this courageous woman...
A female owner of a radio station in Afghanistan has been shot dead. Zakia Zaki was shot seven times, including in the chest and head, as she slept with her 20-month-old son at her home north of Kabul, officials say.

The BBC's Charles Haviland in Kabul says that at times Ms Zaki criticised the former mujahideen, some of who have been implicated in war crimes.
Or is that too much to ask?
