SUICIDE BOMBERS...



That's a canard no informed person should believe, of course, though most media types still hawk it for general consumption. Here's a story unusual for its horror even by the standards of the genre:


In a prison interview with the Associated Press — with interrogators nearby — she said that she helped to organise the rapes of young women and then stepped in to persuade the victims to become suicide bombers as their only escape from the shame.


Actually, now that I think of it, maybe it really is despair. If you're a woman in a culture that fiercely condemns women who have been raped, maybe killing lots of other innocents makes sense.


Though I think not.
