Guerillas

An Italian judge, Clementina Forleo, ruled that three men, who were accused of recruiting suicide bombers to be sent to Iraq, are "guerillas" rather than terrorist. Clearly the judge has fallen victim to the media’s version of the violence in Iraq being an insurgency rather than a continuation of islamofascist violence against the civilians, government, and U.S. forces securing the nation while it is rebuilt. Rightly, the ruling has caused a great deal of anger around the world and in Italy. In three years, we can look forward to the release of the three who were convicted of assisting in illegal immigration and dealing in false documents.

One other alternative view might be that the judge was following the U.N.’s lead. The world body has not as of yet determined what an acceptable definition of terrorism is.

And then in France, 11 were arrested for recruiting "insurgents" to go Iraq. Eurabia anyone...
