Fourth Bomb Found in Jordan

Death count is currently at 57.

The hotel attacks and bomb configuration sounds a lot like what we had was it last week or so at the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad. But that it is the country of Jordan is significant: major US ally, never had a major attack like this before, extremely secure, a land led by a man who tries very hard to straddle the US - Arab world continuum.

Immediately, we have the usual suspects including Bernie Kerik (whose disgrace is strangely never raised at times like this) telling us this was al Zarqawi, you know, the new "everywhere" bogeyman after bin Laden. I'm still sure the president will tell us al Zarqawi is responsible for those levies giving way in the wake of Katrina and that Michael Brown as head of FEMA was an al Qaeda plant. It's not like lies are tough on Bush.
