Ghazni Province: In Andar District, villagers beat a man to death. They accused him of being the one who planted a land mine that exploded when a bus drove over it.

Kandahar Province: Government cops say they arrested a man armed with an exploding computer. They say that Pakistani Mujahideen are now packing desk top computers with explosives and sending them into Afghanistan. On FOB Walton, the Missouri Army National Guard has been training Afghan cops. One of the courses being taught to Afghan police is how to use computers and the internet. Another course being taught is enforcing political elections. That’s strange because I was in the National Guard and I don’t recall ever being activated to enforce elections in the United States.

According to the Afghan Interior Ministry, the Mujahideen have killed almost 3-thousand government personnel and civilians in the past seven months. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) backs up the claim, saying civilian deaths have increased by 16%. So much for Obama constantly saying the Mujahideen are decimated.
The government of Afghanistan is going to crack down on the use of boys for homosexual sex. The Independent Human Rights Commission of Afghanistan (AIHRC) demanded an investigation into the age old practice of Bacha Bazi, or using boys to substitute for sex with women. Many ignorant elders (who can’t read) have reasoned that it is the only way to remain true to Islamic morals, however it is actually a violation of written Islamic rules. It’s also interesting that most of the Afghans calling for a stop to Bacha Bazi are women.

The British empire’s United Kingdom just pledged another $200-million in U.K. taxes to Afghanistan! That’s not all, it’s $200-million per year until 2017! I thought the taxpayers of the U.K. were broke.
