A new term needs to be created for this.<br /><br />Because of my genetic inability to embed URL's, I'm quoting this from yesterday’s BBC news web site. "In an example of the extreme threats which confronted voters, an Afghan man said on Monday that Taliban militants had cut off his nose and both ears as he tried to vote.”I was on my way to a polling station when Taliban stopped me and searched me," he was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency from his hospital bed in Kabul.
