A contagious form of mental illness
Roger L. Simon looks at the "mystery" (yes, they're actually calling it that) of the man (Faisal Shahzad) who traveled to Pakistan and "learned bomb making at a terrorist training camp." Once there, according to investigators, he traveled to the lawless Waziristan region and learned bomb making at a terrorist training camp.So what's the mystery? It looks like a pretty straightforward case of radical Islamic terrorism. No mystery at all. But for reasons that I cannot fathom, it has now become politically incorrect to mention the radical Islamic motivation of terrorists in any way. Carried to extremes, this causes clowns like New York's Mayor Bloomberg to go through ridiculous song-and-dance.routines in which anything except radical Islam is blamed; Bloomberg actually speculated that Shahzad might have been "somebody with a political agenda that doesn't like the health care bill or something." Yeah, we all know the Tea Partiers can't wait to blow up Times Square and head back to Pakistan. Roger speculates sarcastically about what religious motivation might be behind the Pakistan training camp, What were they teaching there? Zen Buddhism?No, it's perfectly rational to suggest that al Qaeda-trained terrorists might as well be Tea Partiers. After all, Bill Clinton recently compared the latter to Timothy McVeigh, and it isn't much of a step to substitute Osama bin Laden -- whose training camps might as well be run by the Tea Parties. Unlike most of the mental illnesses listed in the DSM IV, this one is contagious. And it spreads to the highest levels. posted by Eric on 05.05.10 at 04:01 PM

When are the PC folks going to realize that PC is a fatal disease? and that it is not contagious but forced on the population. Hugh · May 5, 2010 09:07 PM I saw a blog where Shazahd was referred to as the 'foreclosure bomber'. I like it. dr kill · May 5, 2010 10:31 PM Post a comment

Actually,
I think that the press would try link Shahzad to the Duchy of Grand Fenwick before they admit to any Islamic links.
