We're Speechless (WS Journal Can't Believe Amnesty International's Website)
The Wall Street Journal ^ | May 23, 2007 | James Taranto

You just have to see this to believe it, so here's a screen shot. It's from the Web site of Amnesty International USA, a group we thought wanted to be taken seriously:

Taranto spews his own garbage up in the middle of his piece here:

... our conclusion is that while there is something to be said for both of these interpretations, on the whole there is more truth to the optimistic one. At the very least this survey strongly refutes the claims of some right-wing extremists that Muslims simply cannot adhere to civilized Western values. For although it is true that enough of the Muslims surveyed hold invidious views to give one pause, they are still a small minority.

And then he cites a whole slew of things...which contradict his claim!!!!

The U.S. is at war, yet the clear majority of these cohorts support our enemies. That seems to fly under this guys radar...as an inconsequential "outlier".

And of course a majority also reject that Muslims committed 9-11. A MAJORITY.

This puts them in the seriously-deranged dangerous column in my book. DAFAP. Deport As Fast As Possible.

But Taranto wants to believe this is on balance great news...probably primarily because of this finding...almost 61% think Israel and Muslims can coexist. Thats 39% that don't. That's more than enough.

It’s a cheap shot. Vader’s dead [except as a spirit that gets younger every time George edits ‘Jedi’]. He can’t defend himself...

He talked him out of killing Leia. He stopped Bobba Fett from wasting Chewie in the carbon freeze chamber. He spared his son, at least once; and saved him a second time. But he did have his moments...

Page didn’t change. I was on it until 10:30 p.m. Eastern. Got Cheney down to 4% until someone noticed and started hitting the site. The activity crashed the poll.
