Hostages and Bombs
It would appear that the Turkish hostages have made out better than most of their fellow captives in Iraq. Hopefully this is a sign of things simmering down.
At last count I think there've been half-a-dozen bombing attempts in Turkey prompted by the NATO summit. Seems one false-alarm was just a stone, wrapped in newspaper, meant to look like a bomb. This, I feel, is the way to go. Especially for the inexperienced. Otherwise you end up with a mediocre bomb in your lap, and things get bloody long before you get anywhere near the people you really want to kill.
I wholly endorse the stone-in-paper school of radical incendiaries.
In general, I can only hope that this latest NATO conference will have helped all those inclined to express their political opinions in a dramatic (let alone lethal) way to just get it out of their systems.
And woe be those poor people sitting next to the second-rate bomber on the bus.
