CNN cracked the case

CNN has an idiotic terrorism expert--whose qualification was that he dealt with security at Tel Aviv Airport--to speculate.  I never understand this country: how they think that people--ordinary people even--from the country that produced and pioneered terrorism in the region and the world are themselves experts on terrorism.  Bring them a beverage vendor at Tel Aviv Airport and they would introduce him/her as a terrorism expert.  Never forget that line by George Carlin (I was fortune to watch him deliver it twice live): how come Israeli terrorists are referred to as commandos, and Palestinian commandos are referred to as terrorists?  And on both occasions I noticed that the line never got much laugh, except from me in deep appreciation.
