#1 Huh? Sooo..I guess the take-away is that, in Jordan, it is ok for a reporter carry a cluster bomb in his luggage and it's even ok if it explodes and kills an airport security guard, as long as it is an accident.

#2 No accident. Lethal mixture of ignorance and stupidity.

#3 Abdullah's probably been farking. "Gomi, I just loved your article on midget schoolgirl masseuses. Because of its hilarity am I able to forgive the unfortunate death of an airport security guard." The Daily Mainichi outdoes any American tabloid.

#4 I'm looking forward to the Japanese version of "Midnight Express", Jordanian style.
