Just a quick note on the actual attack:

more recent news sources are saying that Bhutto was actually shot twice before the bomb went off. She was clearly the primary target, and the attacker(s) didn't want the random destruction of a suicide bomb. They made sure they killed her, and then set off the bomb.

Something about that makes it seem more calculated than "just" a suicide bomb.

I remember this movie as being one of my favorite MST3K episodes. It appears to be one that has yet to make it onto DVD, which saddens me greatly.

I finished this book up just a month or so ago, and I still find myself flashing on it when people are sitting around talking about where the internet will be in 20 years. It's very tempting to say, "just read this."

Nina, I'd say there had better be a sequel planned. I still have a little questions that need answerin'!

I've been reading this monthly since the start, and loving with what's going on with Jack, and I'm almost jealous of you, Cory--the next collection is going to blow your friggin' mind. No spoilers here--I'm just saying that it gets weird.
