I can't help but think: what if Amman was just Black Ops?

[NinetySix]

The reports I've seen indicate that the bomber who detonated his belt at the wedding party was an Arab man with a foreign (to Jordan) accent. If Zarqawi, who may or may not be the real culprit, were interested in attacking his own countrymen, why would he do so with anyone but a fellow Jordanian? How would that aid his cause, since it would clearly encourage a further rift in Arab public opinon?

Further, who stands to gain, and how? Zarqawi is referred to as the "leader of the Iraqi insurgency," at least on CNN. Wow, I had no idea that the insurgency was so centralized that it had one single leader and a single unified aim! That aside, what is the effect of violence perpetrated upon Jordanian citizens to the effectiveness of the Iraqi insurgency? On the other hand, what is the effect if the world perceives this as the brutal act of amoral terrorists?

Call me a cynic, but after all the naked manipulation and cloying attempts to sway public opinion I've seen since the Fall of 2002, something just smells a bit ripe to me....
