So Jacko... you sit down with the Taliban...

...don't forget to put "killing uppity women" on the short list, huh?
Afghan officials say unidentified gunmen fatally shot one of the country's most prominent female police officers.

Malalai Kakar was killed Sunday as she traveled from her home in the southern city of Kadahar. Her son was also wounded in the attack. The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the shooting.

Kakar, a mother of six, was the head of the department of crimes against women in Kandahar. She was regularly profiled in international media and known for her courage in one of Afghanistan's most conservative and male-dominated provinces.
The NDP... they know what's best for all of us.

"I took up the task and tried to get Ms. May on the record saying just that -- 'Hezbollah is a terrorist organization'."
Alas... no surprises here either.
