Oh, the humanity!

From the Telegraph: BBC reporter Lyse Doucet says the British media is not doing enough to communicate "the humanity of the Taliban".

Some examples of the Taliban's "humanity" (not cited by Ms Doucet):-

The murder of foreign aid workers.

The skinning alive of captured French soldiers.

The beheading of a teacher in front of his family for the "crime" of educating girls.

Sundry other atrocities too numerous to detail here.

David Szondy at Ephemeral Isle says of Lyse Doucet: "How this remarkably silly woman manages to navigate through life without the smallest fraction of common sense or moral judgment is beyond me."

Me too.
