Allah Akbar (now with AIDS!)

The latest addition to the Al-Qaeda manual is to intentionally recruit people with AIDS or other blood-transferrable diseases to be suicide bombers. This would increase the "kill rate," since

[e]xperts have found that bones and other blood-spattered fragments from a
suicide bomber could penetrate the skin of a victim 50 metres away and infect
them.

As morally reprehensible as this is, it doesn't surprise me. Yet I get very outraged about it either. Biological warfare has been around a long time, and it's not a technique reserved only for Islamic terrorists. It was not uncommon for American colonists to take the blanket of an infected person and place it in the forest for the Indians to find. They didn't know the chemistry of the situation, but they knew the blanket caused something, and that the Indians had a deadly lack of tolerance of European diseases.

[S]oldiers are warned to wear special protective clothing when on guard duty or if they have to deal with casualties in the event of an attack.

In addition, all soliders should be advised that, if they have any sexual intercourse with terrorists or potential terrorists, make sure and protect themselves by wearing a condom.

I think is the duty of every US Marine in Iraq to warn every single sheep, cow, camel, and goat they meet about this latest terrorist tactic. Those innocent animals should not have to put up with such a travesty.

Where is PETA when you need them?
