More on the failed Saudi suicide bomber
2005-02-20
"Please, please," the young Saudi appeals in a whisper, "don't turn me over to the Americans."

His face is charred and blistered. His head and arms are enveloped in gauze. Each word seems to beget pain. His haunted eyes dart about, his only noticeable movements. He is here to repent, under the stern guidance of an Iraqi intelligence agent. The setting is an anonymous office in the heavily barricaded Iraqi Interior Ministry.

So what does he think now of "Sheik" Osama bin Laden, the interrogator asks? "He kills Muslims," the Saudi murmurs, his lips barely moving.

And Abu Musab Zarqawi? "If they are all like this," he says of the Jordanian militant, "I want to take revenge on all of them."

#4   that U.S. officials once dismissed as being waged by no more than 5,000 "dead-enders."

The a**hole writer does a three card monty by slipping in a reference to indigenous Iraqis, dead-enders, as one for anyone, in this case a Saudi. News twister, better than Koolaid.

#3  Nice testimony for the fine and relevant education, values, and use of the great gift of oil wealth by the Saudis. Which, by the way, boys and girls, is still going on in a Madarassa or mosque near you. The world's oil wealth has produced a whole generation or two of dead enders that are broken and cannot be fixed. They will keep doing this until the Saudis are stopped.

#2  Just shoot him. He has no useful information. His life is a drain on the resources of Iraq. Then sew him iuto a pigs carcas and bury him with his ass towards Mecca.
