I'm actually stunned that the AP is putting this story out. I guess a few things can still get past the "diversity"/"religion of peace" police.

The New York Times also has it (exact same from the AP) and in fact that is where I originally read it, but I try not to post from them whenever I can find an alternative. But at any rate, if the NYT covers it, a lot of the other majors will cover it as well just for the competition reasons.

What I was surprised about was that the original story about the gang rape got any play. The thing is- a lot of the lefty human rights groups are upset about this so once they got wind of it, it was inevitable. The left also doesn't mind, I believe, because Pakistan is technically our "ally" and while this doesn't necessarily reflect negatively on the Bush admin, it doesn't reflect positively either. It lets the pundits take cheap shots like "Nice people you got us in bed with Mr President" and things of this nature.

As I recall, when this story first appeared, the story was the the brother of the raped girl had had an AFFAIR with the daughter from the other tribe. NOW they're saying he was ELEVEN YEARS OLD and was seen "walking" with her??

These people have just a few too many screws loose.

I saw this on CNN (I was channel surfing) and the reporter-ette was saying something about how we should try to undertand, that it is a different culture, blah, blah, blah...simply insane!

Are they capable of outrage at CNN? At something other than how the election was stolen from Algore, I mean.
