Taliban Hangs 7-Year-Old Boy

According to the Taliban, a 7-year-old boy was spying for the government.

So they executed him.

Seven years old. Dead.

From ABC News:

As thousands of American troops pour into southern Afghanistan, insurgents have launched a vicious offensive against the Afghans supporting the surge. In the last day a suicide bomber blew himself up inside a wedding hosted by an anti-Taliban tribal leader, and insurgents publicly hanged someone who they labeled a spy for local troops.

He was hanged from a tree in front of a crowd in Helmand's Sangin district, where more than a thousand British troops are based. He was the son and grandson of prominent tribal leaders, one of whom had recently spoken out against the Taliban, according to local journalists.

"A 7-year-old boy cannot be a spy," President Hamid Karzai said in a press conference in Kabul. "A 7-year-old boy cannot be anything but a 7-year-old boy, and therefore hanging or shooting to kill a 7-year-old boy ... is a crime against humanity."

This is so sick. It's absolutely barbaric. It's nauseating. Seven years old.

His execution is a crime against humanity.

Where's the outrage from the Left?

I hear crickets chirping.

Meanwhile, the CODEPINK loons are running around trying to put plastic handcuffs on Karl Rove and "arrest" him for war crimes. How constructive!

Libs like Jay Leno are yapping about our "hundreds of thousands of troops protecting oil over there."

These people don't get it. They really don't.

I don't hear them complaining about Obama not being mad enough and needing to unleash on the Taliban.

Is Obama trying to find out "whose ass to kick"?

No. This horror is brushed aside.
