What is the problem. They were just women. They probably were trying to help educate girls and according to the Taliban this is not permitted.

"killing three Western aid workers and their Afghan driver and leaving their white SUV riddled with hundreds of bullets"
well... no ambiguity in this message.

I think the crickets chirping must be drowning out the response from the usual suspects. Where is the NDP? The "peace" advocates? Can't here 'em yet...

and taliban giacomo's pals were celebrating their latest triumph...
"A spokesman for the Taliban, Zabihullah Mujahed, said men from his militia had ambushed a two-vehicle convoy in Logar that was transporting "military personnel, most of them female."
"We killed several of them... they were all military," he said.

Islamic Cowards, they'll kill anyone including their children in the name of Allah, may pea soup reign down upon him.
Animals have more humanity than the Taliban and it's supporters.
Very brave of those women to go into such a barbaric country, and try to help.
They know going in there is a real good chance their not coming out.
The women might not have carried guns, but they are still soliders, and should be honoured as such.
