#1 I suspect the perp is a volunteer for a modified suicide operation. An Islamic "true believer". Fulfill his wish to romp with the 72 virgins in heaven: Summary execution preceeded by a relatively short, albeit robust, interrogation.

#2 I think we're missing a good source of interrogators. There are a lot of older women who wouldn't mind getting a piece of the action - and giving these murderous barbarians a piece of their mind, at great length.

heh ...

#3 i recall hearing from some Israelis over 20 years ago a story about a watermelon some guys found on the beach, which had a bomb inside that killed them.

#5 Mr. Wife once told me that in the most interesting countries (of which Iraq is clearly a member), the water is so unhealthy that you don't ever want to eat something that's been washed. He tried to stick to the local bread, fruit which he peeled himself, and cooked dishes that didn't contain meat. Melon rinds are not very edible, compared to what's inside, so I am willing to believe the melons were indeed tampered with.

#6 Why do the phrases "poison melons" and "Anna Nicole Smith" keep coming up together in my head?

What you do is tell the female interrogator that the prisoner they are about to "interview" said she looked fat in those fatigues.

30 minutes later she will have his 'nads on a length of safety wire and a 30 page statement.

Already been done. video of an Iraqi woman identifying her son's murderer in a lineup. She makes the big bad terrorist *cry*.
