| Yigal Amir to marry |
| 2004-01-20 |
| Yigal Amir, the man who assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, wants to get married. Amir is serving a life sentence in an Israeli jail. His fiancee is Larisa Trimbobler. She is a divorced mother of four; she is an immigrant from the Soviet Union; she has a doctorate in philosophy; and she has been visiting Amir in jail since shortly after his arrest. The Israeli government is trying to block the wedding for political reasons. But, considering that actual terrorists who are serving multiple life sentences are allowed to get married all the time (and are often even released from jail in "terrorist-for-hudna" deals), Amir’s marriage will likely eventually take place. |

| #3 Forget whether others have been allowed to marry, yadda, yadda, yadda... Why is this zit on Israel's nose still drawing breath? Egg sac, Lee, .com. Out here in Cally4nya (the state the world loves to hate), some of our REALLY bad guys have some REALLY interesting accidents. My favorite (a local psycho) fell out of a tree. In a prison yard. Supposedly. |

| #1 "Actual terrorists?" What's Amir, a hologram? If an assassin in a democratic country isn't technically a terrorist, he's certainly a related species. The guy should get the same rights as the other terrorist scum, but as a colleague, not a superior. |
