Long time no see... :)
That TIME cover indeed is absolutely repugnant and naked propaganda. Good to know CIA is still using little girls. I am reminded of Iraq and Swat immediately (you and I are well familiar with that). And they tried in Iran as well (remember Neda? That snuff-porn gave many a baboos a long-lasting hard*n).
But for baboos it will be their Swat spanking video. They will refuse to acknowledge it as being part of "war of perception", something even the CIA admits. They will holler up an down with some choice words for 'Taliban' screaming "See why the war must continue?", forgetting hundreds of thousands of girls blown to bits by NATO bombs. They will swear again drone strikes (miraculously) only kill militants and no innocent girls are ever loose their noses, eyes, cheeks, arms, legs, etc. They will forget girls get their noses cut, have acid thrown on their faces, get gang-raped, killed as 'kali' every day all around them without them anyone batting an eye. Wonder what is special about 'Taliban' doing it? What buttons does it push/strings that it pulls???
BTW: Love the 'dramatic' startof the TIME piece:
The Taliban pounded on the door just before midnight, demanding that Aisha, 18, be punished for running away from her husband's house. Her in-laws treated her like a slave, Aisha pleaded. They beat her. If she hadn't run away, she would have died. Her judge, a local Taliban commander, was unmoved. Aisha's brother-in-law held her down while her husband pulled out a knife. First he sliced off her ears. Then he started on her nose.
That thing is so bloody rare! See for example a search of just one local newspaper.
