Lets get Lyse Doucet embedded with the Taliban!
Friday, August 29th, 2008BBC: ”We’re missing the humanity of the Taliban”
Compassion. “TV reporters are not showing the Taliban’s humanity, says BBC presenter,” from the Daily Mail and a list of Taliban sins from Andrew Bolt:
A BBC presenter has attacked coverage of Afghanistan’s ongoing war, claiming TV reporters are not covering the ‘humanity of the Taliban’.
Lyse Doucet, a presenter and correspondent on BBC World News, was speaking at a discussion of TV reporting of the war in the country…
Asked what was missing in British coverage, she added: ‘It may sound odd but the humanity of the Taliban, because the Taliban are a wide, very diverse group of people.”
Let’s report the Taliban the Doucet way. So, readers, find the unreported humanity in these recent Taliban happynings:
ITEM:
Taliban fighters with assault rifles shredded a U.S. aid group’s SUV with dozens of bullets Wednesday, killing three Western women and their Afghan driver amid an escalating militant onslaught against humanitarian workers in Afghanistan. The ambush of two clearly marked aid vehicles on the main road south of Kabul was the latest in a record number of attacks on aid groups this year…The Taliban claimed responsibility for the killings, saying its fighters attacked two vehicles of “the foreign invader forces.” .
