I've Been Thinking:

Four Jordanian members of Parliament visited the family of notorious terrorist Zarqawi in order to express condolences.
The Jordanian members of Parliament praised Zarqawi calling him a "martyr."

After their mourning call the four Jordanians went to a mosque where one of the Parliamentarians, Mohammed Abu Fares, delivered a sermon.
Abu Fares spoke of the Jordanians murdered in hotels in Amman in three, near simultaneous, al Qaeda attacks, an operation planned entirely by Zarqawi.
Abu Fares said those victims of terror were not martyrs, he said, "I can't describe them as martyrs; these were mobs and ignorant (people)."

The Jordanian government is outraged.
The Jordanian people, the masses, are outraged.
The Jordanian Parliament has disavowed any connection with the four and demanded that their party, The Islamic Action Front, discipline their members.
The Jordanian government wants to prosecute the four Parliamentarians for violating the best interests of their government. (They have been detained for questioning.)

The Jordanians will use these four prominent members of government to set an example - embracing terrorists will not be tolerated in the Jordanian Empire.
