Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
Taliban said to be furious over US missile strike
The Taliban are furious about the latest apparent U.S. missile strike in Pakistan, indicating a senior militant may be among two dozen people killed, officials and residents said Sunday.
The attack Friday on the North Waziristan tribal region was believed to have killed several Arab fighters but government officials have been notably quiet.
However, two Pakistani intelligence officials said insurgents were moving aggressively in the area while using harsh language against local residents, including calling them "salable commodities" - an accusation of spying.
The intelligence officials, who said their information came from informants and field agents, interpreted the Taliban's anger as a sign that a senior militant may have been among at least 24 people killed. But that has not been confirmed, said the officials, who sought anonymity because they were not allowed to speak to media.
I do believe that they started it. If they can't stand the heat, maybe they should re-think their career path. Revolutionaries seldom are successful as their ideas of what constitutes an ideal form of governance is usually brutish and corrupt.
I am inclined to think that they suffer a form of mental illness. That culture is known for heavy inbreeding after all...
