But, come to think of it, it's a damn fine idea and one I've espoused before. Out of all of the people I can think of in the Middle East who simply need killing, A.J. ranks high on the list.
Seems highly unlikely to me too. Carrying out an illegal bombing raid on a civilian target in the major city of a key Middle Eastern ally. Surely even GWB isn't that dumb.

Have to disagree with you though on your AJ comments. Since when is bombing journalists a fine idea? You may disagree with the angle of their reporting, but they are highly respected in many parts of the world, and provide, I believe, an essential balance to the reporting of many western news agencies.
