    So What if Publication Causes Deaths? Hey, We're Terrific!

    I'll sleep better than you tonight, because I don't have to consider how many deaths I may have caused with this "journalistic coup". Yeah, your adherence to the reporting creed will certainly make the world a better place, both immediately, in the medium and in the long terms. Now that the Muslims will be reminded of this scandal, Peace on Earth is sure to follow.

    What is the point here? Abu Ghirab was exposed long ago and whatever measures the powers that be wanted to take to ameliorate the situation have been taken. So what are you accomplishing now? Not being liberal, I have problem getting blood on my hands in service of THE TRUTH.
