I remind all posters that articles should be either hard news or commentary that expands our understanding on the mechanism and goals of terrorism.

Please edit all postings for length. Cut the parts that repeat what everybody knows by now because we've seen it so many times before. Try and keep them short and punchy. People try to read this stuff, y'know.

I will delete pure opinion pieces and such purely political hit pieces that bore me. This is because Rantburg concerns itself with the War on Terror. If you want to post Bush hit pieces, go to Indymedia. If you disagree with what Bush does, kindly confine yourself to the comments portion of real articles and take your lumps.

Please do not feed the trolls! I end up leaving troll pieces with a lot of comments because the comments are funnier than the posted article.

If you're a troll, please don't post and then comment on your post under another name. It's tacky.

Thank you,
The Management
