#2  IP did this? Good on them! They must be getting tips, or else investigating a lot better than they were just a year ago.

Those guys have a lot of guts taking on the bad guys bombs on-the-job, and the bad guys thugs in thier home life (threats, etc).

THIS is the sort of good news - the context - that gets lost in the noise.

Brave lions of islam.
Brave, brave lions of islam.

And people wonder why we are so... entusiastic, in tracking down and killing everyone associated with terrorism, and why we tend to go for overkill when we think we have a legit target.
