The execution of two Afghanis by Islamists in Pakistan stands out in sharp contrast to western treatment of prisoners of war. As Powerline says,

In Pakistan today, just across the border from Afghanistan, Taliban goons got their hands on two Afghans who they claimed had collaborated in a Predator strike on a Taliban house across the border in Pakistan. It isn't clear from this news account whether the Taliban kidnapped the victims from Afghanistan. 

In any event, loudspeakers in mosques called the faithful to witness
the brutality that was to follow. A crowd estimated at 5,000 or more
assembled. The Afghans were dragged out of a car. ...

The crowd cheered "Allahu akbar," or "God is great." You can see how
this would be a religious experience. The assassins then debated
whether the second man should be decapitated, since he may not have
been of age. One of the gunmen settled the issue by shooting him in the
head.

I'm not sure whether these gentlemen are among those with whom
Barack Obama wants to sit down and chat when he becomes President. I
hope not. Wittgenstein once wrote something to the effect that if a
lion could talk, we wouldn't be able to understand him. But I think
Obama would have a better chance with the lion than the Taliban.
