MEMRI transcribes an interview with a captured Saudi terrorist:
Interviewer: You witnessed a number of operations in Iraq. What do you think about these operations?
Basem Saleh Jamil Kassar: I don’t accept this. How can an infidel American soldier hurt a Muslim sister?
Interviewer: I didn’t ask you about that. I know what you feel about this, that you are unhappy about this, and that’s why you came to fight. But I am asking you about the car bombings in Baghdad, Najaf, and Karbala, in the north, in the churches, in Mosul, and…
Basem Saleh Jamil Kassar: By Allah, I do not support them at all. Not at all.
Interviewer: Why don’t you support them?
Basem Saleh Jamil Kassar: This is what damaged our reputation. The Jihad fighter is now perceived as a man who wants to blow up and kill innocent people.
I wonder if there could be any more terrorists who are finding that killing civilians is ‘damaging their reputation.’
Yes. If enough of the terrorists start feeling like this one does, they're just going to have to admit defeat.
What do terrorists do but kill civilians? The terrorist method seems to be to attack the softest target possible, and kill as many innocents as possible.
