BBC's Lyse Doucet Laments the Underemphasized "Humanity of the Taliban"
Beebstress Lyse Doucet gripes that the problem with media coverage of the thugs waging a terrorist war against civilization in Afghanistan is that it hasn't sufficiently emphasized "the humanity of the Taliban."
Doucet also declares that life in Afghanistan has "got a lot worse" now that the country is no longer controlled by the Taliban and openly infested by al Qaeda.
Socialism seems to have the same effect on journalism that it does on healthcare.
On a tip from V the K.

What an elitist oblivious twit. I wonder what color the sky is on her planet.

One hopes (perhaps vainly) she meant Afghans rather than the subset calling itself Taliban. But it would not be a surprise to find she makes no distinction, nor that she actually sympathises with totalitarians as long as she doesn't really need to learn more about them by living under their rule.

Could the answer be that it's so HARD TO FIND any hmanity in the Taliban?

If we treated American women like the Taliban did, she would be the first in line crying for something to be done.
