#1 It is a New York Times article. It must be true (sarc). What would be absolutely wonderful would be if a number of these widows were pro-western and could be recruited to "off" the AQ husband after marrying him. One can dream.

#2 I'm all for having lots of Jihadist's widows, orphans too.

#3 According to the article, the widows (and their orphaned children) are a running expense left over from previous martyrs. By marrying them off, the salaries of current staff go to support them, no doubt a significant savings in pension costs. Not to mention the current staff don't need as much care and feeding.

Recycling. It's all the rage these days.
