Oops, I forgot "trigger-happy"

alcaray — 3/5/2005 1:22:55 AM (archived)

Lots of folks the world over (some of them British and manning checkpoints of their own) think that this policy is indeed a trigger-happy one. That this incident might move Raoul to comment on it doesn't surprise or bother me at all.
