Suicide bombers: dead and alive

Per the AP over at Fox News: So, set off a car bomb near the Green Zone in Baghdad. Then have two of your suicide bomber buddies set themselves off when troops and emergency personnel arrive to treat the wounded. An old PLO tactic. Sweet.

Only problem: Iraqi policeman shot and killed one suicide bomber (his bomb pack detonated from the bullet). And the other suicide bomber was wounded by schrapnel from the initial car bomb attack, and couldn't set himself off. But he's recovering in a U.S. military hospital... (Irony alert).

One kills himself. We kill one. And we save one from going to Allah. How inhumane of us. Must be some form of religious discrimination. Where's the BBC to condemn the senseless killing, er, um, saving, er, American beastliness, harumph?

Maybe if the survivor recovers sufficiently, we can give him "a fair trial followed by a first class hanging".*
