Afghanistan

just heard the report from Afghanistan that some members of the Taliban have been arrested for throwing acid into the faces of some young girls.

Now the President Karzai is quoted on the Today programme as saying that these people will be executed. Well excuse me, what sort of country are we meant to be occupying.

In my book we do not extradite anybody to a country with cpaital punishment, yet we support by the deaths of our soldiers a government which wants to hang people for throwing acid. I don't know which is worse.

I think that it is time for us to withdraw and stop any returns of asylum seekers in our country. Milliband, who is on a visit, must say to the President, you will not execute these people, they will be given a proper trial and if convicted they will be inprisoned, and not executed.

Milliband should also impress on the Ameicans that no British soldiers, of whatever type, will ever be involved in the identification and sumaary execution by Drone dropped bomb, anybody, without a fair and open trial in front of a jury.

The next election will not be just over the economy, it will the wars as well, the forgotten wars.
