so i was watching local news today (i didn’t feel like getting off the bike) and they showed footage from someone who lit themselves on fire outside the white house this afternoon, around 2 in the afternoon. i haven’t heard anything about it on CNN, i saw the footage, i saw the burned body on the ground with emergency workers all around it, but i haven’t heard a lick on CNN…
they keep showing the footage from the questionable execution of iraqisby american troops…
so… self immolation? i thought maybe it was an american making a statement, similar to the fellow who committed suicide at ground zero. but according to the CNN blurb, he was yelling in arabic ‘god is great’.
i don’t know. i’m just amazed, and if you haven’t heard, its worth knowing.
