The Taliban released a video over the weekend that purports to show the execution of 15 Pakistani soldiers -- punishment, they say, for Pakistan attacks on the militants.
The video, according to AFP, which it says obtained a copy, shows the soldiers lined up in three rows, each with their hands bound behind their back and blindfolded. A Taliban leader criticizes the Pakistani government for killing 12 militants, and warns of more revenge killings if the attacks continue, AFP reports.

Well, at least they didn't piss on them. Though I do think that's probably against the Geneva Convention...

And with a little honest-to-goodness help the US could've taken care of that problem for Pakistan. Oh well. They made their bed, now they have to sleep in it.

It's what happens when you take sovereignty and national pride/hubris too far.

Yes, the taliban is definitely the measuring stick we should use for how our soldiers behave. I totally agree there. Let's let our soldiers pillage and rape while we're at it. It's not as bad as killing people.
