TALIBAN LEADER IN PAKISTAN HAKIMULLAH MEHSUD has been killed by a US drone, according to Sky News citing Pakistani TV. The local paper The Nation, though, says the attack took place on January 14; Mehsud was injured and succumbed three days later.

Few will shed any tears for him. Of course, if instead of being blown into pieces by a missile he had been taken to Gitmo and forced to stand up for a few hours, or listen to Metallica at loud volume, we'd hear many people accusing the US of torture...

UPDATE. For the life of me, I don't know why the links I had in this post just vanished. I'm positive I added them...

UPDATE II. Pakistani Taliban deny their leader is dead.
