She's not psychotic, she subscribes to an exceptionally evil ideology. Big difference. Hardly any of the atrocity loving muslim terrorists are really insane. If it were a question of sanity, the threat would be far less.

"Rishawi is the sister of a former senior aide to Abu Musab al Zarqawi - the leader of terror group al Qaeda in Iraq."

Loose shit.

Still, I wonder why her brother is a "former" aid to Zarqawi? Do you think he retired?

But we can't twist their arms or Silly Sully will get his panties twisted in a wad.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought she was in the custody of the Jordanians. If so, she should be wishing she was captured by US forces.

Will Sully have harsh words for the way Arabs interrogate other Arabs?

Gosh, Laura, I hope not. Because the logical result of Sully's shrill squeaking will be that we hand those kinds of suspects off to the arm-twisting regimes to be interrogated effectively. I'd hate to think that Andy was emoting without forethought.

Can anyone explain what in the world she was planning to do with 72 virgins???

The former aid has purchased a large piece of agrarian real estate sold to him by the US Military.

Dogstar,
What the story didn't mention that in addition to a strap on bomb, she had a strap on .......tool. Yeah, that's it. Those virgins were gonna be in for it.

I'm against arm twisting. I say break it. Both of them.

Well, from the picture, I can finally understand the reason for burkhas and the whole hijab thing.

Yes, it's a cheap shot, but she's undeniably deserving, on multiple levels. Woof.

Patton, you are absolutely right.

They should just run pictures of Melissa the hot french newscaster

I was figuring her nasty ass look was mostly from that "Oh, shit, I really truly sincerely wish I was dead" expression on her face.

Too bad she's going to have to face up to what her companions did before joining them.

Where's tubino?

You'd think he'd be defending her by now.

After all, this HAS to reflect on Bush somehow, right?

The tub of fun would only appear on a thread like this to try and change the subject to his Fitzmas Wish List.

And when we failed to receive his wisdom he'd accuse us of dodging the issue.

Then he'd go slather himself up with butter and post pictures of himself on the internet wearing nothing but a diaper.

Considering fake menstrual blood probably wouldn't be nearly as effective against her--would Sully object to throwing a cup of warm yogurt on her and telling her it's baby batter?

Yeah, Christopher Cross, that would be so different than a regular Saturday night for her.

Perhaps if she were told it was from a joo...

...baby batter

lol! AoSHQ and commenters is a font of knowledge!

BTW, Sailing is one of my favorites. Rock on!

Fake "baby batter" or no, it'd be gob-smackingly vile if the poor dear were draped with an Israeli flag.

Joy juice on a woman? I think he'd still be nauseated by the vileness of it all.

Well, lucky for us (and unlucky for her) she was captured by the Jordanians, not us. They can do whatever they like to her and no one will care. After all, it is only Americans putting panties on peoples heads and speaking to them in harsh tones our liberals lefties have trouble with. When Arabs do the torturing, no one cares in the slightest.

Right, Tubino?

We should threaten them with superior technology. Tell them we can use drugs, sensory deprevation, hynotism and brainwashing techniques to turn them into unbelievers who will go to hell.

Tell them we can use truth serum to find out their worst fears, and then use them against them.

And then, if they still don't believe us, do it to some and show them to the rest.

I just saw a story about this on the news. It seems an Al Qaeda website gave her away by praising her as one of the bombers. It seems the dumbasses didn't realize that she failed to 'splode.

D'oh!

How dare they show her on TV! As a captured insurgent, she should be accorded full Geneva rights, and certainly that includes not being allowed to be exploited for propaganda purposes.

I wonder if Sullivan and the ACLU will be working closely with the Jordanian human right orgs to protest this act!

Al Qaeda website gave her away by praising her as one of the bombers. It seems the dumbasses didn't realize that she failed to 'splode

Maybe she wasn't supposed to explode...

...not all bombs are necessarily intended to detonate.

The coming weeks will indicate if there was value to AQ in having a "survivor".

If the non-detonation was NOT intentional, then that speaks to the quality of the bomb makers AQ has available. One would think that a high profile job like this, using high profile "personalities", would warrant using the best available talent.

Expanding on the above...

This may have been a probe to test the response of the Jordanian legal system and resolve.

It may have been a ploy to inject a "rallying point" for the splodydopes into the Jordanian prison system. Live bodies attract more lasting emotion than dead ones..."free Mumia!" and all that kind of stuff.

The Jordanians were mostly on board with the WOT anyway, so provoking them wouldn't ratchet up their cooperation much more than it already was. If AQ was willing to largely ignore jordan as a transit point, then they wouldn't care how much Jordan beefs up internal security.

...baby batter

Considering the subject matter, couldn't you have chosen a better word than "font"? Bad imagery, man.

Having looked at her picture, I can understand why her husband wanted to kill himself. What puzzles me, though, is why he wanted to kill other people in the process.

If we were serious about winning the war on terror, we'd just widely distribute posters with 72 pictures of her. No caption necessary.

She didn't look too "blown up" for having been in the middle of a bombing.

This seems curious to me. Why wasn't the vid clip taped from an ICU ward?

If the bomb was in fact good, this is one that got cold feet or is a psyops plant.

No bomb experts have said yet if the bomb was good or bad. This to I find curious.

I thought it was a little wierd that she was still wearing the whole thing during the TV interview. What if one of the wires was just a little loose? Adjust your weight, turn a little, make that connection and then...

BAMMMMMM!!!!!

As an American, I'm perfectly okay with torturing terrorists and terror suspects. I condone it. I expect it. And I want it. So by all means, torture in my name, please. In fact, I'm willing to volunteer to torture terror suspects.

I'll even drag a few around by a leash -- for kicks.

If torturing one hundred terrorists leads to saving one American soldier on a Baghdad road, or any American life anywhere in the world, it is worth it.

Does anyone else have a problem with torturing terror suspects?
