Remember how, just before we invaded Afghanistan, Bush and even the Lump got all upset over the way that the Taliban treated women?
Today's NYT reports that: Gunmen Kill Afghan Women's Affairs Official
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) -- Two gunmen on a motorbike killed the southern provincial head of Afghanistan's Ministry of Women's Affairs outside her home Monday in apparent retribution for her efforts to help educate women, officials said.
Safia Ama Jan was slain outside the front gate of her Kandahar home as she was walking to her office, said Tawfiq ul-Ulhakim Parant, senior adviser to the women's ministry in Kabul.
Ama Jan was known for being an active proponent of women's rights and education in this former Taliban stronghold, a region where insurgents have turned increasingly violent in the last several months.
Wonder how upset Bush and the Lump are over this? /Crickets.
