Why isn’t this story the headline on every newspaper? Why isn’t it leading off every newscast? Why is it not even considered newsworthy?
According to local Pakistani police, Taliban militants beheaded an Afghan citizen after accusing him of spying for the United States. The man was kidnapped a week ago and his body was discovered Thursday in North Waziristan.
“He was slaughtered overnight. His headless body was put on the roadside,” police official Munir Khan said.
A note found on the man’s body said “Whoever spies for the US will face the same fate. This is a gift to (US President Barack) Obama.”
“See how much the world loves us,” an Obama spokesman somewhere likely said. “They’re already giving us gifts.”
