LOL. That is called _good reporting_!
It may be hard to recognize in this day and age, but the reporters should _never_ get ahead of the facts. Speculation about the religion of the bombers, before they know who they are, is not the way it should be done. Even the "North Chechen" identification is questionable, as it was based on pieces of the bomber, not actual knowledge. Tragic. There is no excuse nor justification for such action. I also doubt they will take the "female" away and replace it with "Muslim". Muslim suicide bomber=yawn. Female Muslim suicide bomber=common. Female suicide bomber leaves room for it to be interesting or unique, and so will generate more views from casual readers. How sad is it that I can write that paragraph, and feel like it is reasonable? On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 9:09 AM, C.
