Today in assassination news

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Pakistan is the biggest, most dangerous hell-hole on earth.

Yes, but did you hear what Anderson Cooper described it as? Lets see if I can remember exactly....

"nuclear capable, unstable, islamist state" or something like that-got all the cliches in one sentence.

And one more thing to back up your statement - did you see footage of them moving the coffin? How undignified, with it being shoved this way and that - I thought it would tip over at one stage.

I hear ya. Those flimsy coffins always make me edgy. Was it Ayatollah Khomenei's body that was pitched from his? I can't remember, but somebody important ended up outside his coffin at one of these big funerals. Awful.

There must be some kind of tradition against putting a few nails in the things.
