Afghanistan, back to the old ways?

The Taliban's notorious former head of religious police has said extreme punishments such as executions and amputations will resume in Afghanistan.

Mullah Nooruddin Turabi, now in charge of prisons, told AP News amputations were "necessary for security".

He said these punishments may not be meted out in public, as they were under previous Taliban rule in the 1990s.

But he dismissed outrage over their past public executions: "No-one will tell us what our laws should be."

Well, maybe the recently deposed, Canadian MP who called the Taliban "brothers" can go and exert her influence and convince them not to do it.

And he said they don't tell us what laws we should have either, though what the bruvers do here is different.

Sorry Cax, "video not available". Looks like it offended someone at YouTube.

He tends to do that with some of his music videos, too.

My necessaries are embark'd: farewell. Adieu! I have too grieved a heart to take a tedious leave.
