I also love CNN's continual use of "alleged suicide bomber" when reporting breaking news like this. Hmm, let's see, what OTHER freestanding explosive device would have any real opportunity to blow up at a bus stop or on a bus or in a restaurant?

Fox reporting that Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade (you know, the ones associated with ARAFAT'S Fatah Movement) is claiming responsibility and saying that this attack is in direct response to Sharon's decision to retake land. I guess Arafat's statement yesterday about it being an invitation to violence was intended to be taken literally by the next wave of bombers waiting for their cue.

But Arafat isn't responsible at all.

Exactly right. Like Israelis wouldn't run like hell if they saw a bag/box sitting there by itself.
