A Killing Commanded by Tradition: Afghan Adultery Case Reflects Challenge of Extending Modern Law to Tribal Lands

This is a horrible story. I find the practice of honor killing to be a horrendous perversion of the concept of honor and of the responsibility of family for one another. But what I find remarkable about this account of it is how well the reporter conveys the feelings of the people involved and the internal logic of their appilcation of their own traditions. It's still horrific and wrong, but one can see the humanity of the people involved. Which, of course, simply makes it even more painful.
