RE:"One is that certainty is the enemy of decency and humanity in people who are sure they are right, like Osama bin Laden and John Ashcroft." I don't care for Ashcroft too much, but to put him in the same category as OBL is ridiculous, IMHO.

One is that certainty is the enemy of decency and humanity in people who are sure they are right, like Osama bin Laden and John Ashcroft." What a ridiculous statement! But now we can add Anthony Lewis to that list. He speaks with such "certainty" and is obviously always "right".

Only a liberal would think Osama, a mass murderer and megalomaniac, and Ashcroft, an Attorney (general) are somehow the same. I think you could put John Wooden or Spike Lee in there and make as much sense......NONE. Doesn't a conclusion indicate certainty?
