Martyr Making Continued

I'll do my part and make the announcement here, since in most newspapers it will be buried in section B, on page 18. At The Mole Hole it is always front page!

The U.S. Marines have just confirmed that they have killed the number two al-Qaida animal in Iraq, Abu-Qaswarah, along with five of his bodyguards. Apparently, his specialty was foreign recruiting for the jihad in Iraq, so this is an important hit. Yet it is the kind of positive development that just doesn't make the news.

Now he gets to join all of those young men and women to whom he had recruited and promised martyrdom. So perhaps we did him a favor? In that case Abu, "you're welcome"!
