Can someone post it in full?

This is an excellent article, and I even registered with the Jerusalem Post to read it. But do we have to excerpt for the JP?

There are many Freepers who won't register and therefore won't be able to read it unless it's posted here in its entirety.

Great opening to the article. Now I'll have to -snip-

Excerpted - click for full article ^

I have often said that the terrorist/murderers made a "mistake" aboard that flight by letting, even encourging, passengers call their loved ones via cell phones. They found out that the 2 towers had already been hit and were able to put forth a plan of attack that resulted in the plane going down in PA.

Would the passengers have staged an uprising against the terrorists if their cell phones had been confiscated?

> Amr Moussa, secretary-general of the Arab League, issued a stern warning to the BBC: a US invasion of Iraq would "threaten the whole stability of the Middle East." As I wrote at the time, "He's missing the point: that's the reason it's such a great idea."

Fantastic in-your-face line. Great article. Maybe Steyn should write speeches for W?

I've got an idea. Since you're afraid to post full text Steyn articles because you fear getting sued, why don't you ping or Freepmail me when you find one? I'll post it, and you'll be off the hook.

You'll also quit pissing off 99% of Freepers with your excerpts.

Ping!

Oh dear Lord ... another fascinating Steyn article sullied by lots of kvetching about quid posting an excerpt. Some of the complainers even note that quid is notorious for posting excerpts. HELLO quit your griping and post your own full copy if you wish. Get a free email account on Yahoo! or even the new Google, use it for your signups, turn on the spam filter, and never bother to check the inbox again.

OR ... are you Communists? That's right ... communists. Believers in the old "from each according to his ability to each according to their need" crapola. Steyn certainly has the ability, do you begrudge him the clicks and hits to fund the payment for his brilliance? Is your "need" to view his work for free?

Your click helps the publisher make some money that partially goes to pay Mark Steyn's fee and the hit count lets the publisher know that Mark Steyn is worthy of whatever he charges (and quite frankly should be one of the highest paid columnists going given his consistent brilliance!!!).

So there you go ... shot out ... add 50 and fire for effect. I've reposted this commentary in chat here: Mark Steyn: to excerpt or not to excerpt so fire up your flamethrowers and join me over there and stop sullying up another Steyn gem.
