January 29, 2010 - So how does a bloodthirsty Islamic jihadi who has planned and promoted the deaths of hundreds get his Allah-given right to travel without the hassle of pat-downs, extensive security checks, and oversight of his high-dollar wire transfers to terrorist nations? He acts contrite, says he's sorry, and promises he's had a change of heart. It's enough to get the UN to let him off a terror watch list, apparently. Five former Taliban leaders have been removed from the list of terrorists subject to an asset freeze and travel ban by the United Nations Security Council, Afghanistan’s ambassador said. "It is a message for anyone in the Taliban that wants to join the peace process that the Afghan government and the international community are serious about their readiness to take some steps," Ambassador Zahir Tanin said Tuesday. Tanin asked the Security Council on Jan. 6 to begin a review of the list of sanctioned Taliban leaders to create an atmosphere of trust for any who decide to abandon the insurgency. An "atmosphere of trust"? Because, you know, those radical Islamic terrorists are all about the trust. Click below for story.
