>>The official also confirmed that Saeed said his group wanted to take more steps to ``teach a lesson to America.'' << They surely did. Lots of p'o'ed people in America that are asking for revenge. Lots of people who have become even more violently anti-Muslim than before. I expect that little cadre is toast. Wrong administration to pull that stunt.

The Boston Globe, reporting that the last words Danny Pearl's captors had made him say were "Yes I am a Jew and the son of a Jew" noted that the case "had begun to take on anti-Semitic overtones" I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Trust the Boston Globe to stay ahead of the curve. The Western media's willful blindness to the virulent anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism running hand-in-hand throughout the Muslim world, generally with full governmental acquiescence and support, set us up for September 11th. Most Americans, I am sure, had no idea we even had such enemies and thought that "kill the Jews" anti-Semitism had died with the Third Reich. Even now most networks tiptoe around the obvious motives for picking Danny Pearl as a victim: An American, a Jew, and a reporter for the Wall Street Journal. Three for the price of one.
