Do you have a source for your statement?

Not one that is publicly confirm-able. It comes from a friend who is stationed in Baghdad. And remember there is a difference between suicide bombers and roadside bombs, especially in Iraq. And as far as the videos are concerned, there is no way to confirm their reliability or the conditions under which they were produced.

There is no question that some of those people are willing suicide bombers. But if there were limitless numbers of them, isn't it reasonable to believe we would be seeing them on every street corner every day. Would you be inclined to believe there are more true suicide bombers or would you find it more credible to believe that many or most in the suicide group are actually hostage situations. Self-preservation is traditionally a much stronger instinct than self-immolaton/sacrifice.
