This sentence struck me almost to the ground:
"Two of the fighters who took part in defending Bosnian Muslims from Serbs and Croats in 1995 were young Saudis named Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar. They went on to play an organizing role in the Sept. 11 attacks and died on the hijacked plane that crashed into the Pentagon."
This should be shouted from the roof tops, you know.
Does that odd person called "hoplite" know this? I doubt that he would care, though ol' man.
What is a hoplite anyway? Some ingredient of beer/ale? Seriously?
