Pakistan sends girl shot by Taliban to UK for care
Source: Boston Herald
ISLAMABAD Pakistan airlifted a 14-year-old activist who was shot and seriously wounded by the Taliban to the United Kingdom for treatment Monday, a move that will give her access to the specialized medical care she needs to recover and also protect her from follow-up attacks threatened by the militants.
The attack on Malala Yousufzai as she was returning home from school in Pakistans northwest a week ago has horrified people both across the country and abroad. It has also sparked hope the government would respond by intensifying its fight against the Taliban and their allies.
Over 100 Taliban militants attacked a police station near the main northwest city of Peshawar late Sunday night, sparking a gunbattle that lasted several hours, police said. Six policemen were killed during the clash, including two who were beheaded.
Malala was targeted by the Taliban for promoting girls education and criticizing the militant group. Two of Malalas classmates were also wounded in the attack and are receiving treatment in Pakistan.

So glad she is safe in the UK now. I hope she recovers and gets to stay and go to school there.

Every now and then someone highlights the overlap between todays Republican states and the slave states of the former Confederacy. As clichéd as the point may be, it remains indispensable to understanding what is happening in American politics today:
Confederate (red) and Union (blue) states
Republican (red) and Democratic (blue) states, 2008 election

Tell Paul Ryan to Debate Rob Zerban
Paul Ryan has all but deserted his Congressional District, but he is still on the ballot for re-election on November 6th.
Sign our Petition to tell Paul Ryan that if he cares about his constituents and representing Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District, he should come back and debate Rob Zerban, his Democratic challenger.
