Yes, a CNN bigwig openly mourns the death of Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah who helped kill 241 U.S. Marines during the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings and absolutely nobody is surprised. Doesn’t say a lot for the MSM, now does it?…

(Weekly Standard)- Fadlallah “famously justified suicide bombings,” as the New York Times recalls in its obituary for him:

In a 2002 interview with the British newspaper The Telegraph, he was quoted as saying of the Palestinians: “They have had their land stolen, their families killed, their homes destroyed, and the Israelis are using weapons, such as the F16 aircraft, which are meant only for major wars.
