Oh, absolutely. Everyone wants to be on the side of good. Osama bin Laden was so worried about being a good Muslim that he held long, very serious debates with his top advisors about whether the terrorist acts they were planning would violate any tenets of Islam. We know this because some of these discussions were documented on the hard drives we recovered from his compound. So unfortunately I don't think "is what they did good or evil" makes a very useful measuring stick. -Dan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
