Bad news for Hell's Taliban web petition

they won't ever see it (although I doubt they would have bothered with it anyway)

Afghanistan's Taliban Bans Internet
ISLAMABAD (Reuters)

- Afghanistan's ruling Taliban movement has banned the use of the Internet in the war-torn country to stop access to vulgar, immoral and anti-Islamic material, an Afghan news service said on Friday.

The Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) quoted Taliban Foreign Minister Maulvi Wakil Ahmad Muttawakil as saying the movement was not against the Internet as such but was opposed to obscenity, vulgarity and anti-Islamic ``stuff'' on it...

They could have also just come out and named the asylum in the last sentance. fucking slanderers.

*snicker*

Maybe they saw her petition and banned the Net just for that.

Depressing and amusing, at the same time...
