#2 "He's not pining, he's bleeding passed on." And there was hardly ever a more deserving sack of $h!t than this ratbag.

#3 Palestinian terrorist mastermind Abu Abbas has died while in U.S. custody in Iraq, officials at the Pentagon told Fox News Tuesday. Abbas, who led the deadly hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship in 1985, was captured April 15 by U.S. commandos during a raid on the southern outskirts of Baghdad â 18 years after his crime.
He had been convicted in absentia in an Italian court for the 1985 hijacking and sentenced to life in prison in 1986, but never served any time. Abbas' exact age was not available but was believed to range from 56 to 63. Abbas, whose real name is Mohammed Abbas, garnered international attention when the Achille Lauro was seized off Port Said, Egypt, by members of a PLO splinter group called the Palestine Liberation Front. Hundreds of passengers, including American Leon Klinghoffer and his wife, were taken hostage. The hijackers demanded that Israel release 50 imprisoned Palestinians.
Militants shot Klinghoffer in his wheelchair and tossed him overboard. The other passengers were released after a two-day ordeal and the commandos surrendered to Egyptian authorities, who put them on a flight to PLO headquarters in Tunisia.
U.S. Navy fighters forced the flight down in Sicily. The Italians, to the Americans' dismay, allowed Abbas to flee to Yugoslavia before a U.S. warrant for piracy and hostage-taking could be served. Abbas disappeared, and international manhunts and a price on his head failed to flush him out. His faction relocated to Iraq after the attack.

But, Sammy never helped terrorists, did he?

#4 Not that Iraq ever supported and sheltered terrorists, of course.

#7 John "F-word" Kerry and Democrats now demand that the Bush Administration prove that we didn't torture Abu Abbas to death.

#8 Died of "natural causes"? I hope it was gravity--like his head being repeatedly and strongly attracted to floor of his cell. Gravity kills, you know...

#13 Dan,

#7 was sarcasm deluxe. But the fact that we are expectating the Dems and JFKerry to say something like this speaks volumes.

#14 yea - i should of seen it but i am so incensed by the fact that we, for the first time, have a person who could become prez that actually marched under the banner of an enemy state!

#15 I saw a snippet of Arafat today on IIRC CNN, and there is no insult intended to those of a christian faith who visit on Rantburg, but for one moment i was actually convinced that I was looking at the Pope in a 1999 television-apearance, the likenes in stature, the dazed and confused look, it was absolutely amazing.

I think the worlds fattest lady is not singing yet, but she is vigouresly clearing her throat.

Hint: look for "catsup" instead of "ketchup".

#18 I'm a Democrat. If someone can prove to me that Kerry demanded that the Bush Administration prove that we didn't torture Abu Abbas to death, I will change my mind and vote for Bush.

#20 Although you may have disagreed with her politics Corrie did not deserve do die underneath the treads of a Zionist D-9 bulldozer. While I can condone your politics I can't condone your making fun of the death of an idealistic (if naive) girl. There is enough blame to go around in that part of the world and we in the US must shoulder much if not most of it. Our constant meddling and anti-life politics have destroyed three generations of Palestinians Yuts. In their hopeless despair they have taken to a new form of self abuse which I fear to describe....

What? Oppppssss sorry. Wrong. Blog.

#21 "There is enough blame to go around in that part of the world and we in the US must...gotta...are obliged to..." CELEBRATE THE LONG-DELAYED PASSING OF ABU ABBAS. And hope he and Rachel Corrie have a jolly time on the other side of the Styx.
