THE Taliban's use of a child to behead a man accused of being a US spy has been condemned as a war crime and a grotesque example of the abuse of children in armed conflict.
A shocking video circulating in Pakistan shows the boy, believed to be just 11 or 12 years old, standing over his bound and blindfolded victim with a long knife and, in a high-pitched voice, denouncing him as an American spy about to meet his fate.

I’ll take, ‘Stories that will NEVER be seen on tha whirld newz tanite for $5,000’ Alex.
I thought last year when the Taliban beheaded the little girl infant was worse
But homicide/suicide/chlorine bombing is not “a war crime under international law”.
well at least he didn’t put panties on his head..
It's always popular in war to paint your enemies as sub-human. But in this case, the jihadists make it clear by their actions that they truly are animals.
Don’t worry, I’m sure the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child will be all over this one. /s
by golly you bet they will!! you can be sure they will get a nasty letter with LOTS of CAPITALIZATION!!
Islam at its finest moment! (sarc)
The religion of peace teaching kids to be Islamic. ya gotta start them out young.
You’re all going down.... Taliban!
They want to be painted as animals - animals humans fear. Fear is the most important factor to the jihadists. Saddam used fear to rule his people. Wonder how the elites will act when they start that stuff here. Will they cry, whimper, or mess on themselves while they’re being beheaded? Hope we will just have to wonder about that.
It takes a village...

I have never understood why people permit themselves to be beheaded. IF you know it, then grab a gun and kill as many of them as you can before they kill you. Or strangle someone. Or gouge their eyes out. SOMETHING. But most people do nothing. That great Italian guy remains my hero for going for a gun and yelling “this is how an Italian dies”...and denied them their beheading and P.R. videotape.
Do you have a link to the story?
I still remember that Italian man as well.
U.S. Senator Dick Durbin stated that he was convinced that the executed prisoner was given total due process, and believed that there was absolutely no conflict in his treatment with either the Geneva Convention or the policies of the UN High Commission on Civil Rights. Rep. John Murtha said, “me, too,” before dining on roast squab and endive salad with imported Pakistani capers in the Congressional cafeteria, and Sen. John Kerry was quoted as saying he wanted two chances to cast a vote on the question, but that, in any event, he always associates Abu Ghraib with this administration.
Just Muslims acting out the direct instructions of the Koran, nothing different here.
