The Associated Press was apparently willing to be used by the Taliban for propaganda, as photographer Rahmatullah Naikzad stood by as two women were murdered by the terrorists. Naikzad stood by, took pictures, and posted them to the wires as two women lost their lives at the hands of animals. Lovely.

Rusty Shackleford writes:

We would remind the AP that the act of the Taliban inviting a reporter to the murder means theywanted this news out there.  The AP was clearly being used as a propaganda outlet for the Taliban.

But since when has the Associated Press been bothered by that? Naikzad actually appears to be embedded with the Taliban, taking pictures of them posing and killing for as long as 24 hours.

By the way, it would appear that the AP took video of the execution. It can be viewed at Rusty’s, but it’s not advisable.
