from today's papers


The New York Times leads with the Israeli army raiding a Palestinian jail in Jericho and seizing six men, most implicated in the 2001 killing of Israel's tourism minister. Two Palestinians were killed, including a prison security guard, and about a dozen were wounded.

so let me get this straight: israeli's raided a JAIL? and look at what resulted: more palestinian violence. so when you hear about palestinian terrorists, think about the israeli terrorists who forced them first.

The incursion was the biggest in the West Bank in months, and in response, Palestinian militants and mobs attacked a handful of Western-affiliated offices and kidnapped nine foreigners, most of whom were quickly released.

then we have this:

The Wall Street Journal tops its world-wide newsbox with, and others front, as many as 85 bodies turning up in Baghdad, most shot execution-style or strangled. USA Today leads with an interview with a top U.S. general who tells the paper that Iraqi investigators recently uncovered a kidnapping and extortion gang comprised of Iraqi police and apparently led by a general.

so the next time bush talks about how they've trained the police and security forces, think about what he's really telling you.
