    first impulse...

    There's an entry in the quotable quotes section of today's Chicago Tribune:

    "He didn't even flinch. I couldn't believe he didn't go down."

    -Cabbie Alex McIlveen, who booted one of the Glasgow Airport terror suspects in the privates so hard that McIlveen tore a tendon in his foot.

    A man among boys, that's all I have to say. McIlveen is a man among boys.

    HERO CABBIE: I KICKED BURNING TERRORIST SO HARD IN BALLS THAT I TORE A TENDON

    HERO CABBIE..By Karen Bale

    A HERO cabbie who took on the Glasgow Airport terror suspects told yesterday how he booted one of them in the privates.

    Alex McIlveen, 45, kicked the man, whose body was in flames, so hard that he tore a tendon in his foot.

    But he said last night: "He didn't even flinch. I couldn't believe he didn't go down.

    "A doctor told me later I'd damaged a tendon in my foot."

    The burned suspect was named last night as Khalid Ahmed, a Lebanese doctor.

    He is critically ill with burns at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, where he is believed to have worked.
