absolute must read and listen: «inside hamas» and chat

johanna mcgeary, time magazine's foreign correspondent has written «inside hamas» --an exclusive and brilliant piece in which she interviews several leaders of the palestinian group whose spiritual leader was assassinated by the israeli military this past 22 march. she had a chat to terry gross on npr's fresh air earlier today and it is simply a must listen.

please note that i object to the term suicide bomber and suggest the use of homicide bomber instead. while the perpetrator believes in his or her martyrdom that is not the goal nor is it to commit suicide. the death of the bomber is a result of the act not its goal.
