Hotel Palestine hit by three car bombs in Baghdad

The terrorist have attacked the informal headquarters of the foreign press corps in Iraq, the Hotel Palestine causing some damage in the Firous Square, the one made famous for the scene of the throng of Iraqis trying to take down Saddam's statue and the help they got from the invading GI's. The Hotel Palestine is almost intact, since the bombs exploded in the concrete barrier that circundates it, and there's an operation of search and rescue going on right now.
Still, the American press insists in calling the terrorist by the euphemism of "insurgents". The real insurgents are the Iraqis who in spite of the terror attacks have rebelled against those terrorists and are trying to have their country back from the deposed tyrant and his henchmen by proxy, all the killers who are in the loose now. Let's call that hotel from now on Hotel California and create a surreal scene of war when we remember the Eagles' song.
Somehow, the Spanish judge that indicted American soldiers for firing at that hotel and killing a Spanish journo and his Ukrainian camera man, while responding to shots being fired at their unit from that hotel, is suspiciously silent this morning.
What one could expect from the press and the liberal judges and lawmakers? They are the same that insist in calling kagasstro president, trying to dilute the fact that he is a bloody tyrant.
By the same token, they want to place the responsibility for the carnages in Iraq on the shoulders of the American soldiers, romanticizing the terrorists who are praying mainly on the people of Iraq. The attacks started against the American soldiers with colateral casualties among the Iraqi civilian population. Now, since the Americans are hitting back really hard, the attacks have shifted to the reverse, the target are the Iraqis and the colateral casualties are the American and Iraqi soldiers who are patrolling the country. Cowards, that's what the terrorists are.
