Mentally retarded women used in bombings

Two mentally retarded women strapped with remote-control explosives — and possibly used as unwitting suicide bombers — brought carnage Friday to two pet bazaars, killing at 73 people in the deadliest day since Washington flooded the capital with extra troops last spring.

Another of the many disputed stories from Iraq. As usual we will never know the truth of who these women were.

In my opinion, anyone who would choose to become a suicide bomber is mentally retarded whether they were previously medically diagnosed as such or not.

If it is a disputed story, this is the first I've seen the suggestion, it is certainly understandable. The ones who are FOR the suicide bombings would want others to think of them as patriotic, selfless,brave or noble or some other positive way rather than as 'FRIGGIN' RETARDS' which is what they are.
