#29  Back to the article. I still maintain that perps found with IEDs should be made to staddle them until they're detonated. Takes all the fun out of manufacturing IEDs.

#3  The truth is that for all the rants and all the fun, Rantburg is still the place to come to get a really, really wide range of currrent news.

I suppose that there can never be enough praise heaped on the regular posters for shifting through all the reports on what is going on in the world and posting it, with or without comments, for the rest of us.

So I guess I'll just take this momentary lull to say a thank you again. Wheather we agree on this or that point, Rantburg remains a primary source for real news.

Thanks to Everyone.

Best Wishes,
