Two women with mental disabilities were sent into Baghdad markets today with explosives strapped to their bodies, which were then detonated remotely (although the last fact seems to be disputed by American authorities). We’ll probably never get the complete story, but I’m sure people with disabilities have been used like this in other conflicts. My friend Rose best summed the appropriate reaction to this event in one word: ick.
Mark, Last week I found out about your website and I am curious if you know about the DMIE that is part of DHS of Minnesota. I emailed you and was told to connect with you on your blog.
If you could call me or I could could call you… I would like to speak to you further. Thanks V Barnes
You do realize a remote detonator (sp?) could have been a cell phone in their hand? Like, anything not directly attached to the bomb itself. Why am I not surprised,in the mid-east of all places, women of any ilk would be considered so disposable.
