I hate the fact that I live in a world where the phrase "…Mughniyeh, who pioneered suicide terrorism …" makes sense.

I stopped reading when I got to the name Rohan Gunaratna; I can't remember what bothers me about it. The first Google page is helpful though. E.g.:

"Eyebrows were raised among fellow intelligence analysts when Gunaratna reversed his position on Hicks two weeks ago, after the US announced the Australian was one of six detainees it had enough evidence against to put before a military tribunal. This time Gunaratna, said Hicks had undergone "more advance and more specialised training" with al-Qaeda, which "had some special plans for him".

Gunaratna attributed his change of heart to information gained from "more recent investigations" and given to him by sources he refused to identify.

Another person with raised eyebrows was Hicks

Golly, now why would Hizb Allah get their knickers all in a knot because of an assassination in Damascus? I mean, come on. Think about it, an "explosion in Damascus?" Doesn't that strike you as even just mite curious? Hmmm thinking about it, this was probably the work of Israel. Yup, there's going to be some BIG trouble now. It's that age old axiom, 'one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter'. It's all in the perspective and of course, which end of an Israeli cluster bomb one just might happen to be on the receiving end of.
