Secondly, I have a hard time criticizing anyone else when the USA is the WORLD LEADER in DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, etc!
Thirdly, we have SEEN THIS MOVIE BEFORE!! When attempting to SELL ANOTHER OCCUPATION or WAR, the MSM ALWAYS DRAGS UP the OPPRESSION of WOMEN by the heathens!!!!
And before reading the Zionist shit-slop that passes itself off as news, consider:

But when Mohammed Matloob, the father of one of the girls, walked into the room, the other three quickly pulled their head scarves over their faces. His daughter, Nagina, 16, ordered him to leave the room, which he did, with a surprised shrug."

"Critics say Afghan law 'legalizes rape'; Karzai assailed for signing legislation" by Fisnik Abrashi, Associated Press | April 3, 2009
KABUL - A new Afghan law makes it legal for men to rape their wives, human rights groups and some Afghan lawmakers said yesterday, accusing President Hamid Karzai of signing the legislation to bolster his reelection prospects.
Critics worry the legislation undermines hard-won rights for women enacted after the fall of the Taliban's strict Islamist regime. The law - which some lawmakers say was never debated in Parliament - is intended to regulate family life inside Afghanistan's Shi'ite community, which makes up about 20 percent of this country of 30 million people. The law does not affect Afghan Sunnis.
One of the most controversial articles stipulates the wife "is bound to preen for her husband as and when he desires."
"As long as the husband is not traveling, he has the right to have sexual intercourse with his wife every fourth night," Article 132 of the law says. "Unless the wife is ill or has any kind of illness that intercourse could aggravate, the wife is bound to give a positive response to the sexual desires of her husband."
One provision also appears to protect the woman's right to sex inside marriage, saying the "man should not avoid having sexual relations with his wife longer than once every four months."
The law's critics say Karzai signed the legislation in the past month only for political gains several months before the country's presidential election. The United Nations Development Fund for Women, said the law "legalizes the rape of a wife by her husband."
"The law violates women's rights and human rights in numerous ways," a development fund statement said. The United States is "very concerned" about the law, said State Department spokesman Robert Wood. "We urge President Karzai to review the law's legal status to correct provisions of the law that limit or restrict women's rights."
Wood added that US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton had met with female Afghan lawmakers in The Hague and had assured them that "women's rights are going to be paramount in this administration's foreign policy, not an afterthought."
Defense Minister Peter MacKay of Canada said he will use this week's NATO summit to put "direct" pressure on his Afghan counterparts to abandon the legislation. The issue of women's rights is a continuous source of tension between the country's conservative establishment and more liberal members of society. The Taliban government that ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 banned women from appearing in public without a body-covering burqa.

I used to believe in the women's rights groups, until I found out that CodePink is a CIA Front of Controlled Opposition; that the Feminist Movement was a CIA project of social engineering; and the REAL ROLE of Feminism in the New World Order.
As for this next piece of propaganda, which Taliban let this be captured on a CELLPHONE?
C'mon, America, STOP FALLING for this ABSOLUTE FALSE-FLAG RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!
ISLAMABAD - Face down before a crowd, the teenage girl shrieks and writhes, begging for mercy. But the three masked men holding her down merely tighten their grip while a fourth man whips her again and again.
The video of a 17-year-old girl being flogged publicly by the Taliban in Pakistan's Swat Valley has galvanized the nation, drawing protests from human rights groups, denunciations from the central government, and expressions of revulsion from Pakistanis. The video, shot earlier this year, surfaced yesterday on Pakistani television stations and the Internet.
How CONVENIENT that it should be AIRED AT THIS TIME, huh?
I'm sory, readers, but there is not ONE THING that is presented to you as "news" that is not MANUFACTURED, CONTRIVED, or STAGED!!!
While reports of abusive acts by the Taliban for months have filtered out of the northwestern valley, where the government in February struck a truce with Islamic militants, such brutal scenes are rarely captured on camera and publicly aired.
Yes, the STENCH is becoming unbearable.
"This is intolerable," Asma Jahangir, head of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, told journalists in the eastern city of Lahore. Jahangir said the girl was believed to have refused to marry a Taliban commander. The militants then accused her of immoral behavior and ordered 34 lashes as a punishment, Pakistani news reports said.
Jesus got 39.
US officials have criticized Pakistan for agreeing to a series of usually short-lived peace deals with militants, arguing that they give extremists time to regroup and focus on launching cross-border attacks against US and NATO troops in Afghanistan.
And THERE is your CUI BONO, folks!!!
This'll show those weak-kneed Pakistanis they better get in there -- or we will to save the women.
Of course, DROPPING BOMBS on THEIR HEADS is ANOTHER MATTER ENTIRELY, isn't it?
The video, shot with a cellphone, initially shows the girl, clad in a black burka, being held by bearded men while another begins striking her. She can be heard shouting for help in the Pashtu language, spoken by most locals in Swat, but is dragged away to another location, held down, and flogged. Several dozen people can be seen looking on.
"For God's sake, please stop, stop it," the girl pleads as the whip falls. "I am dying."
A Taliban spokesman, Muslim Khan, defended the public lashing, saying the girl had engaged in immoral behavior, but he was not specific. "It happened two months ago, when we were at war with the government," he told reporters in Swat. But local people said the incident had taken place two weeks ago in the village of Kala Kalae.
I'm sorry, readers, but I don't believe it happened at all -- or if it did, it is another fake video from "Al-CIA-Duh" central!!!!
President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani condemned the flogging and pledged an investigation. The government's former information minister, Sherry Rehman, requested a special session of Parliament.
"Such brutalities . . . cannot be allowed to take place under the leadership of a democratic government," Rehman said in a statement. "We cannot leave our citizens at the mercy of militants who are murdering and maiming our people in the name of Islam."
Yeah, right, see: Pakistan's C.I.P.
Memory Hole: Pakistan's C.I.P.
Insurgents in the valley, 100 miles north of Islamabad, the capital, struck a truce in February with Pakistani authorities. It called for the Taliban to cease hostilities and the government to permit the establishment of Islamic courts.
I love truces; anything to make the fighting stop.
Some Pakistani religious leaders defended the public whipping. "The flogging is Islamic, and the punishment is written in the holy Koran," Mufti Munibur Rehman, a leading Muslim scholar, said in a televised debate. "So how can we term it un-Islamic?"
Again, I'm supposed to believe the lying, Muslim-hating, war-promoting, Jew War Daily got the translation right?
The central government was not a party to the peace accord, but signaled its approval and pulled back army troops. The Swat agreement was viewed with concern by Western governments, but Pakistani officials defended it as a way of stemming bloodshed in Swat and said the brand of Islamic law to be imposed was not a particularly harsh one.
The implication now being the Pakistanis fucked up.
And as if I needed the WAR CRIMINAL OBAMA and the war-promoting MSM to make my point:
"21 die in attacks by US drone, suicide bomber in Pakistan; Effort in war on terror will affect aid, Obama says" by Robert Birsel, Reuters | April 5, 2009
ISLAMABAD - Violence rocked Pakistan yesterday, with a pilotless US drone aircraft killing 13 people including militants in the northwest and a suicide bomber killing eight soldiers in the capital, Islamabad.
Which means SOME were NOT MILITANTS, right?
Either way, they are ALL INNOCENT!!!!!!
See: The Boston Globe Knows About "Al-CIA-Duh"
Naivete or Disingenuousness?
And they wonder why they are hemorrhaging $$$$$?
Pakistan is crucial to US efforts to stabilize neighboring Afghanistan, and President Obama said the release of additional US aid would depend on how it tackled terrorism.

With the Afghan insurgency intensifying, the United States began launching more drone strikes against Al Qaeda and Taliban militants on the Pakistani side of the border last year. Since then, more than 30 US strikes have killed about 350 people, including midlevel Al Qaeda members, according to reports from Pakistani officials, residents, and militants.
Pakistan calls the strikes violations of its sovereignty and says the civilian casualties they inevitably cause inflame anti-US sentiment, complicating its effort to fight militancy.
Yeah, but they aren't protesting to hard:
"Pakistani officials have made clear that they regard the Predator attacks as a less objectionable violation of Pakistani sovereignty"
No wonder the Pakistani people hate their AmeriKan puppet government.
The attack yesterday was in North Waziristan, a stronghold of Al Qaeda and Taliban militants on the Afghan border. "The missile hit a house where some 'guests' were staying," one intelligence agency official said, referring to foreign militants. "We have information that 13 people were killed, including some guests."
Yup, MISSILES INTO an area where there is a TRUCE, huh? I get sick of this, readers, I really do!!!!! Yup, they got "Al-CIA-Duhs!"
Hours later, a suicide bomber killed eight paramilitary troops in an attack on their post in central Islamabad. Five were wounded. Pakistani Taliban militants have threatened in recent days to launch attacks in the capital, in Afghanistan, and in the United States in retaliation for the drone attacks.
Baitullah Mehsud, a Pakistani Taliban leader, yesterday claimed responsibility for the shooting at an immigration center in Binghamton, N.Y., in which a gunman killed 13 people, saying it was revenge for the drone attacks.

It's ALL CRAP, but we just found OVER-the-TOP, AGENDA-PUSHING, CARMEL-RUNNING SWIRLS OOZING from the TURDS!!!!!
But US officials dismissed the claim, as did Pakistani security analysts, who called it a publicity stunt.
No, it is MSM SHIT-SHOVELING of GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA!!!!!!!!!
Here is more: Q&A with an Afghan jihadi
Pffft!
Hours after the drone strike, a suicide bomber was killed as he approached a military convoy near Miranshah. His explosives went off, killing three passersby, witnesses and a hospital official said. Many Al Qaeda and Taliban militants fled to North Waziristan and other northwestern Pakistani border regions after US-led forces ousted the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001 in response to the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.
From the remote ethnic Pashtun tribal lands that have never been truly ruled by any Pakistani government, militants have orchestrated the Afghan war and plotted violence beyond. US commanders say the militant enclaves have to be eliminated, and Obama has said the United States will tackle them if Pakistan will not or cannot.
Have you HAD ENOUGH WAR PROPAGANDA for the DAY yet?!!
The SHIT PAPER that is going to SHUT DOWN is REALLY SHOVELING FAST and FURIOUS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!
Pakistani officials say civilian deaths in drone strikes fuel anti-US sentiment, complicating the military's struggle to subdue violence. The concentration of strikes in Waziristan is also pushing militants deeper into Pakistan.
President Asif Ali Zardari and his year-old civilian government are also struggling to revive a flagging economy. The US special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke, is due in Pakistan in coming days.
Holbrooke was just there!
Wanna know more about Holbrooke, readers?
"Richard Holbrooke has been named as the special representative for both Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Doesn't it seem odd that yet another jew is tasked with bringing peace to the Middle East. You might think that given the Israeli genocide in the area, Afghani and Pakistani people would prefer someone else. But being praised by the ADL, being an AIG insider, a key component of the 9/11 cover up and a lifelong war monger is all that Obama needs for a pick.
Richard Holbrooke only spent a year as the U.S. ambassador to Germany, but he tried to make sure that his hosts would not forget this son of German Jews.
Visitors to Holbrooke's official residence were greeted by an ambassador who proudly displayed a photo of his grandfather, a Jewish businessman, in his World War I Germany army uniform. "I show it to German visitors as a symbol of what they lost," Holbrooke told The New York Times in a 1994 interview.
Widely praised in the Jewish community for his role in ending the Bosnian war, he received awards for his efforts from the Anti-Defamation League and the World Jewish Congress.
Obama administration special envoy Richard Holbooke was on the American International Group Inc. board of directors in early 2008 when the insurance company locked in the bonuses now stoking national outrage. Holbrooke, a veteran diplomat who is now the administration's point man on Pakistan and Afghanistan, served on the board between 2001 and mid-2008.
During that period, AIG undertook the aggressive investment strategies that led to a near-collapse and forced a multibillion-dollar federal bailout. more

"Karzai seeks review of law critics say lets men rape their wives" by Jason Straziuso, Associated Press | April 5, 2009
KABUL - The Afghan president said yesterday that he had ordered a review of a new law that critics say makes it legal for men to rape their wives, responding to criticism from around the world that included sharp comments from President Obama.
The law, signed by President Hamid Karzai last month, is intended to regulate family life inside Afghanistan's Shi'ite community, which makes up 10 percent to 20 percent of the country's 30 million people. Under one article legislating the frequency of sexual relations between Shi'ite husbands and wives, husbands have the right to sex every fourth night unless the wife is ill.
And we are JUST HEARING about it NOW?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!

Also note how VERY SIMILAR this article is to the ONE POSTED ABOVE from the DAY BEFORE!
I love REGURGITATED BULLSHIT passing itself off as "news," don't you?
The United Nations Development Fund for Women has said the law "legalizes the rape of a wife by her husband." Asked about the law at a news conference yesterday following the NATO conference in Strasbourg, France, President Obama described it as "abhorrent." He said the United States is communicating its views to the Karzai government.
"We think that it is very important for us to be sensitive to local culture, but we also think that there are certain basic principles that all nations should uphold, and respect for women and respect for their freedom and integrity is an important principle," President Obama said....
Of course, DROPPING BOMBS on their heads and KILLING THEIR MEN over a DAMNABLE LIE is OKAY!!!!!
The issue of women's rights is a source of tension between the country's conservative establishment and more liberal members of society. The Taliban government that ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001 banned women from appearing in public without a body-covering burka and a male escort from her family.
Yeah, thank God the U.S. had nothing to do with that, huh, MDSM?
"The U.S. government was well aware of the Taliban's reactionary program, yet it chose to back their rise to power in the mid-1990s. The creation of the Taliban was "actively encouraged by the ISI and the CIA," according to Selig Harrison, an expert on U.S. relations with Asia. "The United States encouraged Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to support the Taliban, certainly right up to their advance on Kabul," adds respected journalist Ahmed Rashid. When the Taliban took power, State Department spokesperson Glyn Davies said that he saw "nothing objectionable" in the Taliban's plans to impose strict Islamic law, and Senator Hank Brown, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Near East and South Asia, welcomed the new regime: "The good part of what has happened is that one of the factions at last seems capable of developing a new government in Afghanistan." "The Taliban will probably develop like the Saudis. There will be Aramco [the consortium of oil companies that controlled Saudi oil], pipelines, an emir, no parliament and lots of Sharia law. We can live with that," said another U.S. diplomat in 1997."
Have I convinced you yet that the WOMEN are nothing but AGENDA-PUSHING PAWNS to the MUSLIM-HATING, MASS-MURDERING, WAR-PROMOTING AmerIkan JEWPRESS yet?
Now, millions of girls attend school and many women own businesses. Of 351 parliamentarians, 89 are women. But in the staunchly conservative country, critics fear those gains could easily be reversed....

Karzai did not mention the controversial article yesterday but said at a news conference he had studied the law earlier in the day and that "I don't see any problems with it." He complained that Western media outlets had mistranslated it....

"Kidnapped American UN worker freed in Pakistan" by ASIF SHAHZAD and STEPHEN GRAHAM, Associated Press | April 4, 2009
ISLAMABAD — An American U.N. worker abducted more than two months ago turned up unharmed Saturday, lying alongside a road in western Pakistan with his hands and feet bound and pleading "Help me, help me," the man who found him said.
John Solecki was discovered Saturday evening abandoned in a village some 30 miles south of Quetta near the Afghan border after his captors called a local news agency to tell them where to look, officials said....
Solecki made no public comment. Police and U.N. officials declined to discuss what led to his release. U.N. officials who met with him reported that he was "tired but all right," U.N. spokeswoman Jennifer Pagonis said....
This is a STINKING, folks!!!!
The release was a rare piece of good news amid intensifying violence here that has raised international alarm over the nuclear-armed country's stability. On Saturday, a suicide bomber attacked a paramilitary base in the capital, killing eight.
Solecki's abduction and the killing of his driver on Feb. 2 in Quetta raised concern that he was another victim in a spate of attacks on foreigners blamed on Islamist militants operating from strongholds along the Afghan frontier.
A previously unknown group, the Baluchistan Liberation United Front, had claimed responsibility for the abduction, threatening to behead him and issuing a grainy video on Feb. 13 of a blindfolded Solecki pleading for help.
But the group's name and demands indicated they were ethnic Baluch separatists who have been waging a long low-level insurgency in the impoverished but oil-rich southwest of Pakistan and have no record of taking or killing Western hostages.
The kidnappers had demanded the release of hundreds of people from alleged detention by Pakistani security agencies. President Asif Ali Zardari last week announced that the government had "traced" 200 people previously listed as missing and provincial leaders insist they are no longer holding any political prisoners.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he was grateful for the efforts to secure Solecki's release, citing Zardari and Afghan President Hamid Karzai. But Ban, who was in Paris, also pleaded for the release of another U.N. official, Robert Fowler, was still missing in Niger.
Kidnappers in December took Fowler, a Canadian diplomat who serves as Ban's special envoy for Niger, an aide and their driver. The driver was released unharmed almost two weeks ago.
Antonio Guterres, Ban's high commissioner for refugees, expressed relief and gratitude. He added: "UNHCR looks forward to continuing its humanitarian efforts in Pakistan."
The suicide bomber who attacked the base Saturday in Islamabad sneaked in after dark from a wooded area at the rear and detonated his explosives inside one of several large tents used as sleeping quarters.
