suicide is painful

Further Green Man talk: discussion last Saturday of terrorist atrocities and the like. At one point I said, in that glib way of pub conversations, that I doubted whether there were that many people in the country willing to blow themselves up for Al Qaeda. Later, a horrifying thought occurred to me: what if Al Qaeda infiltrated the Samaritans? Picture it: someone rings up wanting to end it all and the deep, sinister voice on the other end says: 'Great idea. How does next Thursday sound?'

I was going to put some of this into my latest project - a screenplay for a Hollywood blockbuster about a serial suicide bomber. Unfortunately, I seem to have hit a snag.
