Washington Post writer Max Boot suggested that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi showed bravery by committing suicide instead of letting himself be captured by American special forces in a raid on his compound in Syria over the weekend.

U.S. military leaders said al-Baghdadi was found hiding in a tunnel with several children. He detonated a suicide vest as soldiers approached, killing himself and the kids.
