Very poor interviewing of that jerk on Fox. No one questioned his thesis, that suicide bombers are politically aware and are frustrated by their inability to change policy, particularly to get foreign troops off Arab soil. He also said that most suicide bombers "seek out" people to help them accomplish their goal.

This is a crock. If that were true, we would long ago have located the masterminds by sending undercover people to "seek out" support for suicide bombing.

NO ONE on Fox questioned this guy's opinion. I am quite irritated.

No morning show person is hired for their ability to produce insightful interviews.

Of course, it's not much better in the afternoons, evenings, and nights either.

I saw that interview and was quite irritated by him, too. Thesis was that US armed combat presence in mid-east is entirely to blame because the young men are "angry" with us and see no other way to get us out. Denied that it was all about brain-washing by imams or a vision of 72 virgins in their "heaven". Of course he didn't mention Israel or that one reason we were in there originally was to assist Lebanon in coping with the Palestinian refuge problem. To Fox's credit (IIRC), Brian did challenge him on Saddam's terrorism but the guest just keep reciting the same thesis over and over.
