On yesterday's show, Hugh Hewitt played a lot of tape from Obama's huge Oregon rally, and pointed out what he called "a poker tell" in Obama's speech: the tendency to hyperpuntuate, to pause after every two or three words when talking about foreign policy, where he doesn't know what he's talking about and doesn't want to get himself into trouble. The sound system may have exacerbated the problem, but it's definitely there. I pointed out a week ago how much more fluidly and surely Obama speaks when he is asked about picking judges; as a law professor by training, he's sure of his opinion on those issues. On foreign policy, he doesn't know much, which is why he keeps getting himself in trouble by using lefty phrases in different ways. It's also why it's very worrying when he meets with Hamas apologists like that guy (Qurzeini?) in Detroit, as he may be open to persuasion, being unaware of most of the facts or history. Anyway, keep an ear open for the "tell". Obama is just not that good ex tempore. McCain should debate him as often as possible.

Upon finding the group of terrorists, a shot-out took place between guerrillas and a Special Forces team, leaving Dominguez dead. The second in command's bodyguards made away with his body. Juan Domínguez, also known as Piero, Lee, Barbón or Clay II, was shot at 11 p.m. Sunday evening in Huamalíes, one of the 11 provinces in the highland region of Huánuco. Domínguez was found when military intelligence discovered the terrorist leader was possibly attending a birthday celebration and told the army of his whereabouts. It was reported that a Special Forces unit had been on Domínguez' trail for several weeks but had not been able to capture him. The battle lasted for one hour and took place when Peru's military surprised the heavily armed guerrillas as they were making their way through the rough terrain. Domínguez was gunned down and two other insurgents were wounded. According to authorities, the group left behind clothes, communications equipment, weapons and a great deal of ammunition. A radio with the name "Clay 2" was also found by the military. Although Domínguez' body has not been found, General EP Walberto Zevallos Rodríguez, head of the Special Forces' third brigade, confirmed that "Piero" had been killed. According to Zevallos, the military intercepted a call made by the terrorist group requesting reinforcements and reporting Piero had been killed.
