Nigerian Underwear Bomber Faces His Punishment

Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was sentenced to life in prison for his attempt to take down a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day in 2009. The confessed Al Qaeda operative claimed that his attempted murder of close to 300 people was mandated by the teachings of Islam's holy book, the Quran.

Presumably, the real punishment for this jihadist, so perversely intent on protecting the supposed sanctity of his religion, is that this "defender of Islam" shall be known in perpetuity as the Underwear Bomber.

Coming any day now, when an overseas airport security worker fails to conduct a critical cavity search on a similarly red-flagged passenger: the Up-the-Ass Bomber. You know it's going to happen eventually.
