Torture the bitch.

[GAB-1955]

I understand your sarcasm; such a murderous woman deserves to be hanged as soon as due process is completed. However, I oppose physical discomfort and physical torture. Such techniques are counter-productive. Instead, I am in favor of mental pressure, which may take longer, but is much more effective.

We should not torture for the sake of revenge on our enemies, or as an act of retribution, for we are the good guys and we have the strictures of our conscience God has written in our hears, the rule of law, and the benefit of true religion to protect us from monstrous acts. The point is to eliminate those persons who would murder us. Merely shooting them dead or hanging them would suffice.

Do the words Black September ring a bell?

Is that the terrorist group who took Israeli hostages at the 1972 Olympics? I assume they're big-time heroes in the Islamic world.

After getting every bit of information out of this dirt bag, the Jordanians should let her carry-out her mission in an isolated area and let her detonate.

Unbelievable.

From the religion of peace.

"Would a woman martyr get 72 men virgins?"

She gets to be one of the virgins the male suicide bomber's are promised.

Yeh, the Jordanians are not real nice to traitors. Good for them.

[SweetCaroline]

....real professional looking isn't it????

[grin]

At the very least, insert one large stick of explosives up her butt with a long fuse lite her up she can talk to Islamic gods while trying to outrun the blast.

So you feel that any "physical discomfort" (like high or low air conditioning) equals torture? Well, bless you for being concerned about the morality of how we treat terrorists. You sound like a kind person. But I think your standards are a little out of touch with how the world works.

The great majority of the world doesn't have any air conditioning. Our own U.S. military goes weeks (or months) at a time in very hot or cold conditions. That hardly qualifies as "torture," unless the word has no meaning.

No

It represents the iron fist response of the former King Hussein of Jordan to Palestinian terrorist attempts to take over Jordan in 1970. He killed thousands of them and expelled them to Lebanon.

King Hussein held a press conference and declared that there was now "absolute quiet" in the kingdom. Seventy-two Palestinians who were afraid of the Jordanian soldiers chose to undertake the most humiliating action possible for them: They fled to the West Bank and surrendered to IDF soldiers.

In the end, the bombs will be the fault of Israel and the U.S.

You are way too late.

However, I oppose physical discomfort

You do realize that our troops put up with quite a bit of physical and mental discomfort, as do their families. So does most football players at practice. There is nothing inherently wrong with discomfort.

We should not torture for the sake of revenge on our enemies, or as an act of retribution,

Of course we shouldn't do it for revenge-- we should do what it takes to get information about who else is trying to kill us next.

[ptrey]

Yeah! Let John McCain question her...Bet she would talk up a breeze...not.

[Dick Vomer]

it looks like a "professional" belt to me. explosive, package, det cord and trigger....yep, that about covers it.

As "they" say "looks may be deceiving". 3 out of 4 went off as planned. I don't think there are that many Americans who could get a bunch of malleable explosive, pack it, wire it, hook up the triggering device and set it off.

I'd bet a lot of kids growing up in the 40-50's could because they used to make their own "fireworks" with caps, black cats and M-80's... it's the trigger that might confuse somebody and kill them as they hooked it up.

at least that's what I've heard. ;-)

[Frank_2001]

I'm sure it was said while getting the Shiite beaten out of her, which is something naughty Americans must never do to terrorists/s

[sgtbono2002]

In another Post I just read the woman was blown up whats going on?

[Paleo Conservative]

The muzzie author of this Reuters article neglected to report that the bomb was loaded with ball bearings to maximize death.

What about screws and nails? Also, did the ball bearings have any hepatitis infected blood on them?

[Paleo Conservative]

I'm sure it was said while getting the Shiite beaten out of her, which is something naughty Americans must never do to terrorists/s

Why should Americans do that when we can outsource it.

[marktwain]

"Why did you run? You were supposed to blow yourself up and die too, you coward!"

While I doubt that she will ever read your words, I believe that we should do all we can to support failed suicide bombers and to try to rehabilitate them. This will eventually lead to more of them defecting to our side.

[fish hawk]

If they did "profiling" I guess they have to turn her loose.
