30 November, 2001: "Too bad, that..."

By Kathy Kinsley

We didn't let Amnesty International representatives into the Qalai Janghi fortress.

I wonder if these people think it is possible to wave a magic wand that will disarm fanatics. When you are dealing with people who will surrender just to blow themselves up along with their enemies, it is a bit difficult to follow normal methods of disarming them. I'd suggest that from now on, the people accepting surrender should require that the people surrendering strip completely. Unfortunately, I doubt their culture would allow them to even make the demand.

How will Amnesty International explain away
the killing of those two International Red
Cross Workers as an alleged act of brutality
on the part of the Northern Alliance, when
in fact it was the Taliban prisoners who
did the killing? MommaBear
