Taliban beheads 30 riding on passenger bus in Afghanistan

So glad John McCain supported George Bush going in to Iraq. We are on the verge of having lost everything we ever accomplished in Afghanistan. Everything. John McCain and the Republicans like to talk about how tough they are, but look at the mess all their talk tough has gotten us in. It's been seven years since September 11, folks. Where is Osama bin Laden?

From the NYT:

Taliban insurgents pulled some 50 passengers off a bus in southern Afghanistan and beheaded as many as 30 of them after accusing them of being soldiers traveling in civilian clothes, Afghan officials in the region announced on Sunday.

A police officer guards a highway in Kandahar on Sunday. An attack on a bus traveling on the main ring road between Kandahar and Herat killed dozens, according to officials.

The police chief of Kandahar Province, where the attack occurred, said that of six bodies retrieved so far, all had been beheaded, mutilated and dumped. The police had received information that 24 others had been killed but had yet to find the bodies, the police chief, Gen. Matiullah Qati , said.
