Knowing Philippine politics, one can look at this piece of news with a great deal of skepticism. First, I wonder how you can talk of "strengthening renewed ties between US and Philippines" on counterterrorism, when in fact, Philippines has always been a staunch supporter of US in this area (and in many others). Second, a lot of speculations are already going on that the Abu Sayyaf group is behind this. That's quite convenient. The fact is, Ms. Arroyo's government doesn't have a single clue at the moment who the hell is behind it. Maybe instead of grandstanding on the US-Philippine link on counterterrorism, Ms. Arroyo can speed up the process so that we have a conclusive evidence whether or not it is really the handiwork of Abu Sayyaf. Third, put these bandits in their right places, please.
