#5  Just goes to show how easy it is to get "minutemen". And Ted Kennedy marks the anniversary of Abu Garib and the sexual inuendo's that went on there. He needs to mark this anniversary.

#4  I have been reading here and there (mostly here) about willing jihadis getting pretty thin on the ground for suicide bombings; remember the incident on election day of the kidnapped, mentally-retarded kid? And there was at least one incident of someone being fooled into driving an truck full of explosives... and an insurgent following along behind detonating it remotely. I should't be surprised at all to find out that a good few of the recent suicide-bombers were forced to do it, through kidnapping and threats to family members.

#3  Of course it won't make the news. It doesn't fit the plot, so they'll ignore it.

Just this morning I heard a talking head saying the terrorists are "increasingly sophisticated". No definition, no evidence, just an assertion. It sounds good, it fits the plot they have in mind, so it gets on the air. Facts don't matter.

#2  Instances like this have been happening over the past year. Think it will make the evening news?
