| #3 I get an impression from reading between the lines that most of the captured terrorists are released, only a few get this kind of "star" treatment. Does anyone know what happened to the terr that shot LTC Kurilla, as witnessed by Michael Yon, a few years ago? That gunny had already been caught & released prior to nearly killing the LTC. |

| #2 I saw the headline and wondered if sixteen different imams had issued fatwas against Rushdie. Maybe I'm just a tad cynical these days . . . |

| #1 Ahmed Nory Mohammed, 29, and Hosham Bidawe, 27, were sentenced to death May 30 for engaging in terrorist acts, including kidnapping. The two Iraqis were captured Jan. 9, 2007 by Marines ... Some days, it's a shame we can't get service like this from our system. Like when OJ walked. |
