Note to CNN: The terrorists may have used a person with Down's Syndrome to act as a homicide bomber and you're still referring to them as insurgents? Well, everyone else knows what these butchers are even if you all refuse to call a spade a spade.
That's awesome.
Chrtianne Amanpour just reported that insurgents were using an ambulance to drive around an throw out grenades. People on their way to the polls surrounded the ambulance, grabbed the the occupants, and turned them over to authorities!
Ir-ROCK-is!
That reminds me of my theory that the continuing supply of homicide bombers may be a result more of blackmail and threats to family than it is to religious fervor. As in, do this and your family will prosper. Refuse and you'll die last.
This just in from Mariam Fam at AP:
Security was tight. About 300,000 Iraqi and American troops were on the streets and on standby to protect voters, who entered polling stations under loops of razor wire and the watchful eye of rooftop sharpshooters.
Private cars were mostly banned from the streets, forcing suicide bombers to strap explosives to their bodies and carry out attacks on foot.
