Where do all those M16's come from
Reader comment on item: Two Palestines, Anyone?
Submitted by Steven Hess (United States), Jun 19, 2007 at 09:16
The AK47 has been part of the standard terrorist dress code for decades. Recent photos show a surprising number of U.S. arms, M16's, in the hands of the Islamists. Are we supplying our would-be executioners with the rope these days? How did THAT happen?
