btw, what are foreigners doing in the middle of the best Taliban Islamist proving grounds?! Not sure if even Pakistan would bother to press charges of war crimes against anyone for these killed...

Meanwhile, the bigger question is how in the hell can all of U.S. officialdom, Democrat and Republican, wink and nod at Pakistani leaders and army (ISI specially) when everyone there and outside of there knows they're the real protectors and funders of terrorists.

U.S., in its narrowly conceived notions of attacking Taliban only in Afghanistan, is even now sending billions into Pakistani hands, a lot of which is then rerouted to Islamism causes. Just like funding jihadists in Afghanistan in 1980s (to fight against the FSU) came back to haunt the U.S. in the next decade, the current myopic stance might have another recoil effect, and nobody knows what it might be...now that Pakistan also has nukes and some of those could possibly get diverted to some jihadists any given day 10 years from now...
