Pakistan to execute 500 militants

[HTFOff]

Hopefully the U.N. will write a strongly worded letter denouncing this barbarism.

Six militants have been hanged since Friday amid rising public anger over an attack last Tuesday's which left 149 people dead including 133 children.

The attack in the northwestern city of Peshawar was the deadliest terror attack in Pakistani history, leading to the ending of the six-year moratorium on the death penalty.

Lets see....backlog of 8000 on death row, at 500 a month.....thats 16 months for the UN to do something....they should try sanctions

Accompanied by stern finger shaking and pantie bunching.

500 less terrorists is a good start.

Im fine with this, no need to write a letter..well maybe an encouragement letter

You have more faith in the Pakistani justice system than I do.

I really don't have much faith. At least they may finally be trying. All we're doing is letting them go back home to continue their work.

Maybe let India provide the letter's content/outline

They really need to execute a lot more than 500.

Pakistan to execute 500 militants

Only 500? Pakistan needs to kill them all and establish order against Taliban terrorism. If they did manage to clean up that cesspit, a task we were unwilling to do even in the face of September 11th, then I could definitely think higher of Pakistan, NO MATTER the body count.

Tribal areas are unmade through force. Their acts against the world leave me calling for their heads. Peace is when the dust settles and not a single tribal area remains.

Pakistan is just demonstrating a token reaction due to public pressure. The military and IS I are the root of the problem, not the tribal areas which have historically been isolated. Don't let the bs media fool you. If the US was serious about curbing terrorism they would start with the Pakistani military and ISI and then freeing Saudi Arabia from the grips of Wahhabism. At the end of the day it's the tribal area that will see lots more innocents die because of Pakistan's dirty politics.

Listen to what Afghanistan and India have been complaining about for years. It's the Pakistan government that aided and shielded OBL, not the poor and ignorant Pashtuns in the tribal areas.

I agree they aren't doing enough. The executions do not end the war.

Those lovely Taliban... we shouldn't let September 11th, the genocide of school children, the slavery of women, and the destruction of historical sites get in the way of their good nature?

No 5150Joker, you've got a lot of explaining to do if you wish to convince me (us?) that the Pakistani State is responsible for the acts of the Taliban. That somehow these Tribal areas are not the very enemy of Pakistan, the United States, and the rest of the planet.

The crimes of the Taliban are worthy of our wrath. To their very end.

According to the NYT, one of those "terrorists" on death row is a 14yo kid who confessed to murdering a girl in his apartment complex after the police tortured him for nine days straight. His murder charge was reduced but under Pakistani law "terrorism" is pretty much whatever prosecutor says it is so on death row he stays.

The school killings look alot like an ISI message to the military, "We'll kill your children."

Under Pakistani law, any crime that creates “a sense of fear or insecurity in society” can be classified as a terrorist offense.

We have the same here in the US

 

[Double Trouble]

I don't have any faith in the pakistani legal or justice system, but 500 dead militants would be a good start.

Looks like the militants made a mistake with that horrible massacre, it appears the pakistani people and or government finally have the will to start doing something about the islamo-jackasses.

As said the ISI is rife with terrorist sympathisers and the military has quite a few too. They are a terrible ally and it would be great if they would just provoke India enough to unleash a shitkicking.
