the al-Qaida chief triggered his explosive belt when US soldiers broke into his compound, killed two of his guards, and shot him in the thigh

So.... let me get this straight.

He was in his OWN compound, in Afghanistan, protected by his OWN guards, and he STILL was wearing a suicide belt..... JUST IN CASE?

Anyone who can believe that explanation is welcome to it.

If you had a bunch of Islamic soldiers surrounding you, and they were armed, wouldn’t you blow yourself up in case they suddenly wanted to kill you?

Actually: his OWN compound, in PAKISTAN, protected by his OWN guards, AND the Pakistani military.

FWIW, he would have had at least a couple minutes’ notice after the compound came under attack to strap on.

The real problem is in knowing WHICH Big Media headline to believe, with their craniums so far up Hussein’s o-hole.

I don’t trust any of them.

Given the homemade and somewhat flaky nature of these devices, I doubt he'd be wearing such a thing anywhere near his wives and children.
