#1 This, of course, was to be expected. There would be no retaliation if ONLY civilians were being killed, so we must be doing something to hurt them.

However, I don't like the way the article seems to imply that the Jordanian was not part of the "death toll". Death toll of Americans, certainly, but there are EIGHT terrorist fighters dead, NOT seven.

My condolences to the family and hats off to the Jordanians for getting involved...

#2 Turns out he was a double-agent and the real bomber.

#3 Besoeker - based on the accounts above there were two Jordanians; a Case Officer buried with honors by the Jordanians, and the bomber, described as a "doctor."

#4 That is the way I read it as well.
