I understand that there is a OBL scholarship at Harvard. TRUE. You know, according to various reports, they're the people that denied Leland Stanford. Did you see that on the very day of the attacks, the NYTimes ran a story extolling the virtues of now old and middle class Left wing fanatics - and no doubt Taliban Dems - who bombed the Pentagon in the 1960's? Shame of the Times nypost.com John Podhoretz writes in the New York Post: "Tuesday's New York Times hit doorsteps at about 7 a.m. with a lead article [link requires registration] in its Arts section that must have made even its own author bow her head in shame only three hours later. For the subject of Dinitia Smith's adulatory profile was a proud and cocksure American terrorist who bragged lightheartedly about his involvement with the group that designed and carried out the 1972 bombing . . . of the Pentagon": It was only one of 14 bombings for which he and the Weather Underground claimed responsibility. Here's what The New York Times has to say about Bill Ayers: "He still has the ebullient, ingratiating manner, the apparently intense interest in other people, that made him a charismatic figure. . . . Today [he and his wife] seem like typical baby boomers." His wife is Bernardine Dohrn, with whom he went on the lam for years in the 1970s. And how does this wonderful couple keep it all going? "Happily for me," Bernardine told the Times, "Billy keeps me laughing, he keeps me growing." On Tuesday Slate's Timothy Noah took note of this Ayers quote in the Times: "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." opinionjournal.com
