-Caveat Lector- This is my reply to the original message on EEJH. Quotes from the article are in << >>.
Tenorlove <<and CNN's newscaster even helpfully reminded viewers that "California is a place where a lot of people walk about carrying around guns.">> This is inaccurate. Only celebrities and politicians are allowed to walk around with guns in California; the rest of the populace has been disarmed. <<Richard Garcia, the FBI agent in charge of the investigation, told The New York Times it just as well could have been a "hate crime," or perhaps Hadayet "might simply have been despondent for some as yet unknown reason, perhaps a financial problem or a family dispute, and that despair drove him to violence." It may well be that Hadayet had personal problems. It is also clear that he was capable of hate.>> Not defending the guy at all, but naturally, he has to be cast as a "lone nut" just like Oswald, Ruby, Sirhan, Chapman, Hinckley, McVeigh, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseam. Even my 7 year old doesn't buy it. <<The Israel/AIDS conspiracy is a fantastic anti-Semitic canard widely circulated in Arab circles during the past decade.>> I think this one is also circulated on our "good buddies" <snort> at La Voz del Aztlan. <<Why the reluctance on the part of some in the US to acknowledge that this was clearly a terrorist attack on American soil?>> Because it will hurt airline ticket sales. Follow the money. Unless someone beats me to it, I can check to see how much interlocking there is among the boards of directors for the airline companies and the "mainstream" media. <<because it would mean admitting that letting such a heavily armed man inside an airport terminal on a day when the nation was at the highest state of alert was a clear lapse of security?>> Was this lapse deliberate?? <<(Had Hadayet attacked any counter other then El Al, one wonders if he would have been stopped so quickly and prevented from killing many others).>> Coming from any other source than the JP, this statement would be decried as antisemitic. <<Or is this a sign that even after 9/11, many Americans are still grappling with the mind shift needed to wage an extended war on terrorism both at home and abroad?>> Meaning that Americans have not been willing to lie down and surrender their liberty as easily as say, the people of Germany in the 1930s. <<But echoing the Hen family, one thing needs to be stated loud and clear about last week's attack at LA airport. This was no "isolated incident." The enemies of America vowed to commit a terror strike on American soil on July 4 and they succeeded. America needs to clearly acknowledge this fact, draw the necessary conclusions, and then act on them as swiftly as possible.>> All I can say is, WATCH THE SPIN, and watch what new draconian laws get proposed in the near future. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
