Absurd Headline of the Week:
From today’s Detroit Free Press, “Palestinian Leader Shows a Softer Side of HAMAS.” (Sub-headline, from second page of print edition: “HAMAS: Leader Shows Militants’ Softer Side.”)
What–does he advise using moisturizer before pulling the homicide belt switch?
When are we going to hear about Mohammed Atta’s “softer side”? Oops–Oprah already recommended the book on that in her magazine.
*** UPDATE: Note hateful comments by reader and “Religion of Peace”-nik Amir and responses by Tim. Highly recommended reading.

Muhammad Atta was attacked USA without any justification. Hamas (as a Palestinian group) has legal right under international law to target Israeli military in the West Bank and Gaza as Israeli is illegal occupying force in these areas. Hamas doesn’t have any right to target civilians, but despite that, in the last six years, Israel has killed 4 times more Palestinian civilians than Hamas, Fatah, and Islamic Jihad combined.
Anyway, Muhammad Atta and al-queda didn’t come to power in fair election. Get used to it — Hamas was chosen by their people as their govt. Hamas will be around long after you are dead.
