insult to the innocent
It is said – don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers – so I am basing the following thoughts on what has been reported in the Jordan Times.
I think the four Members of Parliament, who visited the Zarqawi family to pay their condolences and then made reported remarks about him being a martyr, were totally out of order and behaved disgracefully. As public servants they have a duty to act in a responsible and dignified manner and to insult all the innocent Jordanian victims of the hotel bombings is beyond belief.
However, I do feel that the Government has trodden very heavily on them and is making a rod for its own back by having them arrested by security police in their homes and sending them to Jafr prison. I hope the House will impeach them and suspend their positions as Members of Parliament and that the Government will tackle the roots of the problem and try to concentrate more on positive than punitive action.
Why did these MPs (or any other person for that matter) think it was right to pay condolences to this family whose son murdered innocent women and children, not only in Jordan but in Iraq as well? What and who can justify the loss of an innocent life? I really cannot understand how any human being can justify, in any way, the slaughter of innocents. T

I completely agree, by doing what they did, the MP's have showed their true immoral selves to everyone, and the public outrage as a result was very encouraging. However for the government to arrest them and send them to Jafr out all places, is completly shortsighted and verging on the idiotic, firstly because they are giving these MPs what they want which is oppressed victim status, and might force the more moderate members of IAF to radicalise, secondly because Jafr is supposed to be period that we have gotten over a long time ago, so to go back and re-open it to send MPs there no less is something completely unacceptable and goes against everything the past 15 years have achieved in terms of protecting civil liberties and encouraging democracy. Additionally to send a 70 year old man to a desert prison in the middle of nowhere runs the risk of him dying while in custody, this could result in a problem the goverment is in absolutly no need for at a time like this.
