Maybe it's a matter of style...

Donald Sensing reviews the Jessica Lynch teevee movie. He liked it, but he notes that
The Nasariyeh battle sequence was well done. My only complaint would be showing the fedayeen just standing in the middle of the street, hip shooting their AK-47s. That's a good way to (a) get killed, as a fair number of them did and (b) shoot the sky, not your targets. But for all know, the fedayeen there really did that.
I'm quite convinced they did, of course — and we have the pix from Paleostine to prove that's the preferred way Islamic heroes get dead. Note the heroic stance of Mahmoud, the guy on the right, with the keffiyeh. Definitely more heroic looking than his partner, Abdull, with his ski mask pulled so low over his eyes he can't see what he's shooting at, if anything. Both, note, are out in the middle of the street, in front of God and everybody, just waiting for a very brief splitting headache, which Mahmoud proceeds to receive. I'd guess that's because the IDF guys were making use of cover — they don't need to impress the Paleogirlies — and taking the time to get a good site picture and sque-e-e-eze off that round.

Alas, poor Mahmoud. We knew him all too well.

#3  My own take on Hustler's plans (also First Amendment protected):
It's quite unfortunate that Larry Flynt was shot by an anonymous criminal and not after due process of law.

#2  Well, according to Drudge, the New York Daily News will report in tomorrow's edition that Hustler has gotten its syphilitic claws hands on topless photos of Lynch and intends to publish them soon.
This raises a question: How many of
HO'-llyweird's terror-loving sluts anti-war female stars have posed nude and gotten the money themselves?

#1  as the text said - right through the brain (if any)....I wouldn't trouble myself too long worrying - proof is in the pudding, or whatever's in that head of his
