Taliban Publishes Karzai's new Constitution....
If Karzai has his way, this will be the government we have fought and died for, the same government that sent al-Qaeda to attack us on 9/11. The "esteemed" people Karzai wants to welcome into the government, declare in their "constitution" that Jihad is an obligation for every citizen. Something needs to be done. CIA anyone?....

Karzai Responds to Suicide Bombing by Offering to Meet Mullah Omar...
The Taliban has published a shadow Afghan constitution outlining an alternative hardline government to that of President Hamid Karzai.
The 23-page document envisages a country where women would remain veiled and uneducated, "un-Islamic thought" would be banned and human rights would be ignored if "contrary with the teachings of Islam".
However "un-Islamic thought" is strictly forbidden and "violators will be punished according to sharia" - under the Taliban's strict interpretation of Islamic teachings. (not quite sure how they'll read peoples minds -ed.)
It provides for the education of women but only within the limits of sharia and stresses that the government will enforce compliance with Sharai Hejab - that women cover fully cover themselves.
The document also stresses the importance of jihad as an obligation for every citizen. It offers the Taliban's support for the United Nations and upholds human rights - "until it is contrary with the teachings of Islam".
"The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan wishes good working relations with all the neighbouring countries and specially those who have supported the Afghan nation during jihad," it adds.
The greatest power is vested in an Emir-ul-Momineen, or leader of the faithful. Like its official Afghan counterpart, the constitution states that no law can "be contrary to Islamic sharia".
The constitution was approved by the Taliban's central shura religious council, headed by Mullah Omer, in 2005 but it has not been made public until now.
