My personal musings about anything that gets on my radar screen--heavily dominated by politics.

We Should Treat Them HOW?

Suicide bombers carried out nearly simultaneous attacks on three U.S.-based hotels in the Jordanian capital Wednesday night, killing at least 57 people and wounding 115 in what appeared to be an al-Qaida assault on an Arab kingdom with close ties to the United States and a common border with Iraq.

The explosions hit the Grand Hyatt, Radisson SAS and Days Inn hotels just before 9 p.m. One of the blasts, at the Radisson, took place inside a wedding hall where 300 guests were celebrating.

Some reports have both the father of the bride and of the groom being among the dead.

You wonder if the bomber bothered to take part in the dollar dance (or whatever) before detonating. Maybe enjoyed a sip of the bubbly, or a piece of cake before permanently ending the celebration.

And THESE are the people we are not supposed to even question forcefully? THESE people get three-square a day according to THEIR laws and are provided with hermetically handled copies of the Koran and prayer mats.

I wonder how many children are numbered among the dead. I wonder how many Islamic children are numbered among the dead.

I don't lose any sleep at night wondering about how we're treating detainees.
