A shallow article deserving much more attention and writing effort than it got. No information from the pathetic and corrupt Hamid Karzai, nothing from the US Ambassador? or anyone else? Was it a Mullah Court ? When was he charged, sentenced, did he have a lawyer or was this a religious kangaroo court? When was he given the original death sentence?

That bare fact that this case even exists makes the point..most of these absurd, primitive countries need sterilization until they learn to live like humans. Karzai and the Tribal leaders of Afganistan are just a pack of mentally disturbed drug dealing thieves and liars..What happened to The New Constitution they were supposed to get.. ?
