The Best Offense Is A Good Suicide

TomPaine.com gets a wag of my finger for spreading this blatant propaganda from the lawyer of some Gitmo detainees: A tunnel without end. I agree that when those 3 detainees hanged themselves, it was a sign of desperation — but it was desperate defiance, not depression — you know, the kind of thing an enemy combatant might do. Seeing as how suicide vests are such integral parts of terrorist combat tactics, it seems like a no-brainer that we should take an Islamist suicide as an act of aggression.

Speaking of terrorist propaganda, today’s Zarqawi-related shocker is that he actually did die as a result of wounds from the bomb blast, and not at the hands of out-of-control vigilante Americans, like the Iraqi witnesses implied. Big surprise, there. It’ll be interesting to see how the sensational-biased media spins this one.
