The Taliban called the AP guy in, he hung out with them for at least a day knowing what was going to happen, or he may even be one of them, not sure, but then he snaps the photos of their executions.

Clearly the AP is being used as a willing Taliban propaganda tool here.

The piglet photographer is named Rahmatullah Naikzad…listen people, Google this guy and then click on Googles images search with his name and you will see that this motherer hangs out with NATO troops, including our boys, taking pictures on, near, and in NATO outposts.

WTF!?

Here’s the AP quote on this picture:

Local people watch two Afghan women shot and killed by Taliban in Ghazni province, Afghanistan, on Sunday, July 13, 2008. Taliban fighters told Associated Press Television News that the two were executed for allegedly running a prostitution ring catering to U.S. soldiers and other foreign contractors at a U.S. base in Ghazni city.

Here’s the AP quote on this picture the night before, which means that this guy was with the Taliban for at least a day:

Two unidentified Afghan Women chat with each other a few minutes before they were executed by Taliban in Ghazni province, Afghanistan, on late Saturday, July 12, 2008. Taliban fighters told Associated Press Television News that the two were executed for allegedly running a prostitution ring catering to U.S. soldiers and other foreign contractors at a U.S. base in Ghazni city.

Dr. Rusty Shackleford over at The Jawa Report asks the right questions here:

Does this make him an accomplice or only a witness to the crime? When you know a crime is about to be committed, do you not have a moral and ethical obligation to try to prevent that crime? Even if you’re a journalist? Even if all you do is try to call the authorities, in this case someone in the Afghani government or NATO?

Rusty has more over at The Jawa Report.
