Thanks for this. The numbers have now risen significantly — as many as 400 people are thought to have been abducted.

Yeah, and I have updated it.

Boy's school..?
Expected from the gynophobic taliban terrorists.

Yup, it was a male boarding school named Cadet College Razmak, located in Tribal Areas.

These are truly evil animals.

True!

"No education" explains much. Apparently the Taliban depends on ignorance for its continuation.
at 23:04 on June 1st, 2009
Exactly!
at 16:14 on June 1st, 2009
This is way out of line. The Taliban just signed their death sentence.
at 23:11 on June 1st, 2009
Yup! Thanks God that they signed... now I don't think that there's any sound reason left for the tribesmen to support Taliban... after-all almost all of the students, staffers and families belonged to the tribal areas.
at 01:20 on June 2nd, 2009
There never was a "sound reason" to support those clowns. Thank God the people are safe. Was there a shoot-out? Great reporting, by the way. Thank you.

Exactly! :) Yup, there was, and here are the details:

How many people have the US kidnapped and tortured? ..and still do.?
And I sure don't believe the no education spin of this article....
But then again after seeing all the genius's that graduate from the US...they sure haven't given us much except nuclear bombs, war, crashed banks, eternal deficits, daily crime, pornography, and murder, global warming, a wrecked environment from air- to land - to our seas.....and a daily feed of propaganda to how everyone not American are terrorists...especially the Taliban because they would not give their Oil pipeline rights to the US.
Not one is being honest here.....about the truth of the matter...

djermano,
you are correct, no one is being honest here, you included.
The US has not kidnapped children from school, yes the US has kidnapped people from other countries, & I AM pushing for punishment for the people that would command that it be done.
The US HAS given the world may things that have & will benefit man in the long run even if all the actions of the people in the USA are not honorable, you will find that many of the people in this country are themselves honorable.

No I am not being dishonest Spyder.. The US OUT OF CONTROL MILITARY has the entire US population under its thumb. The American people are forced to support this murdering machine whether they like it or not...whether their Religion believes in militarism or not. The US has kidnapped many many schools...and still keeps them hostage...unless they tow the line to their bidding.......Speak out against the War...they come to your campus and shoot you down in cold blood.....like at Kent State.
What has the US given us that mankind has not known already? What they went to the moon? And just what did that give to the everyday American? What they gave us Medical Advances in Science and technology? And yet how many people in the US are without Healthcare? Let alone the idea that those discoveries are useless if people take care of themselves and learn alternative health maintenance.
They gave us the Automobile....which has caused the this epic Global Warming Crisis, and the need to go to war to take over other countries Oil resources..simply because we don't believe in their ideology.
No Spyder your hypocrisy smacks you right in the the forehead.....as you try to pawn off your ignorance begets you to tell more lies.
You sure are honorable.............that is honorable hypocrites.

The US military is not out of control, but the executive branch is out of control. I will FREELY admit that the US has its problems & needs to be corrected, but to boldly state that the US has "kidnapped many schools..and still keeps them hostage...unless they tow the line to their bidding...." is a dishonesty. If you have proof if this please share it!! I want to know.
The US has given us LED's, made electricity a common thing for most people, Solar electric panels, Diesel motors (I'm sure I could go on)
"how many people in the US are without Health care?" granted, there are people here with no health care, but today in the national debate is the debate for health care.. Me personal I think the hospitals here are the last place I want to go, I know how the get my body to help itself.
"No Spyder your hypocrisy smacks you right in the the forehead.....as you try to pawn off your ignorance begets you to tell more lies." please point out any lies in any statement that I have made.

Spyder....the US Miitary is completely out of control... Making the point that the Executuve Branch is....is of no qualifying distinction. The US people are beholden to more and more spending for the Military. We found out what happens when we don't support the Military...the US secret government attacks the US like they did with 911 to blame foreigners.... The US killed over 3,000 people that day.....not to mention the lie about going to War in Iraq which killed over a million innocent people.
I am trying to tell you the American people are being held hostage by the US military!! Such fools to believe we are not... You think they need to have you herded up in a courtyard with guns pointed? No they have you in your homes. your schools, your playgrounds....anything done to go against the State War machine will have crushing consequences..
We have so many nuclear bombs it is impossible to use them all... The US never admits it war crimes....having Presidents continually pardoning people for wrong doing. Ex: Nixon pardons Lt. Cally for his role in the Massacre at Mai Lai....And no one brings to Justice Colin Powell for his participation in the coverup. Even before that Harry Truman is never prosecuted for his war crimes by dropping not one but two atomic bombs on Japan targeting civilians.....the excuse to end the War is such a lie...because we have had nothing but nuclear arms escalation and the arms race since then...War after War has emerged... To inclued now North Korea has the Atomic Bomb..... No charges are brought to bear on Lyndon Johnson and his phoney War in Vietnam that killed 7 million people, and certainly Richard Nixon got away with murder..when Ford pardons him......a tactic Obama learned by his refusal to indict Bush and Cheney for war crimes...and torture crimes.
Nothing is done to the two Bushes and their failed administrations.....to include Reagan who sold WMD to Iraq to fight Iran......and then sold weapons to Iran to fight Iraq....No wonder Saddam invaded Kuwait to reclaim.... Bush pardons all the cronies who were involved in the Iran Contra scandal that brought great insecurity to Israel..when Saddam used his scud missiles. And one of his cronies is still in power injecting his poison into Afghanistan, and Iraq.. Nothing is done to Robert Gates much worse than Donald Rumsfeld given his track record of murder to the world population in the Middle East.

If the US gave us electricity why have they worked so hard to stifle the electric car? Why have they worked so hard to promote the Oil Companies and the military to wage wars in foreign countries to steal their Oil......killing their people...for the sake of greed and supporting a defunct American Empire that only pushes people around. shooting their guns and proclaiming Democracy is the New World Order.
I got news for you....I don't want it...when you have no justice... The system is hypocrisy..and I will never support it.
Your lie: "you are correct, no one is being honest here, you included"

Any group that tries to thwart education already knows that their philosophy is bankrupt.

Are those the boys and staff that were kidnapped and rescued? They look like they have stared into the abyss and are not sure if they have escaped yet.

djermano do you understand the meaning of democracy? america has brought war death destruction yes and much of that can't be justified but the atomic bomb on hiroshima and nagasaki ended that war. how many more do you think would have died if we just kept fighting japan whom would have fought to the last man. the us military controls soldiers not civilians we control our own country
at 02:55 on June 16th, 2009
I've been told it's not a Democracy its a Republic. The Atomic Bomb did not end the war in Japan. It created a new War....the arms race. Japan had already surrendered several months before Truman went ahead to test the bomb on real people. He didn't target the military he targeted civilians. Just as the Military dropped bombs on Japanese civilians...it is a psychological weapon on all civilians throughout the world society...that the US military controls the people... The people have no say in defanging or reducing military expenditures. It is therefore out of control as Eisenhower predicted. Americans are slaves to the US military...... It sucks the life out of the US economy....
