Maybe they'll get a nice shiny medel like Wesley Clark got for bombing that Serbian television station. Did they kill technicians and make-up girls too?

There is a need to form some teams and go after people like these.America will never be the same and we must rid our country of these types.As far as the terrorist they dont mind dying they have been brainwashed by their governments into thinking they go straight to heaven when they die. So they must die slow painful deaths.We dont want them killed quick and mercifully. They and their population need to die slow and painfuly this government has the means. You dont fight fire by pouring gasoline on it so you dont fight terriorism with conventional means.

Those Palestinians who were celebrating the attack should also be made to pay a price. There has been much recrimination over the loss of so-called innocent lives in the nuking of Japan in WWII, but, the History Channel pointed out that there was a national day of celebration in Japan after the horrors committed in the wake of the conquest of Nanking - what has become known as the "Rape of Nanking."

As those Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagasaki who celebrated the Rape of Nanking were no longer innocent, neither are those Palestinians and others who have celebrated these mass murders in America. If, in the process of taking out those responsible, those who have celebrated are a part of the collateral damage, well, sh*t happens, and we should not worry about that sort of collateral damage in making our decisions about what sort of actions we should take. They have celebrated the deaths of thousands of Americans, they are no longer civilians.

'70s radicals who support bombs shouldn't get glory

September 12, 2001

BY STEVE NEAL SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST

They are without shame. On the morning that the World Trade Center was razed by terrorist attacks, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn defended the use of explosives in the New York Times.

"I don't regret setting bombs," Ayers told the Times. "I feel we didn't do enough."

Ayers and Dohrn, who spent the 1970s as fugitives in the Weather Underground, have never apologized for promoting bigotry and violence. His neck is still tattooed with the Weathermen's rainbow and lightning logo. They are spoiled rich kids who never grew up.

It is puzzling that Ayers and Dohrn are being lionized for their political activism. He is the author of a new book, Fugitive Days, a memoir that is partly fiction. In the book, Ayers brags about taking part in the 1970 bombing of New York City police headquarters, a 1971 bombing of the U.S. Capitol, and a 1972 bombing of the Pentagon. Ayers writes that the Weathermen were responsible for a dozen of these bombings. He doesn't mention that the Weathermen idolized killer Charles Manson and adopted a fork as their symbol because a fork was shoved into the stomach of one of Manson's victims. At their 1969 convention in Flint, Mich., the Weathermen demonized the actress Sharon Tate, a Manson victim.

The former radio personality Studs Terkel, who does a pretty fair impression of the village idiot, gushes that this book is "a deeply moving elegy to all those young dreamers who tried to live decently in an indecent world. Ayers provides a tribute to those better angels of ourselves."

Ayers and Dohrn are scheduled to speak and sign books at 6 p.m. tomorrow in the Harold Washington Library. Why is our city honoring these self-absorbed nitwits?

In their 1974 book Prairie Fire, they claim that the Weathermen were responsible for 18 "focused and specific" bombings including attacks on law enforcement officials, an army base, corporate offices, and a federal office building.

Dohrn and Ayers denounce their native land and cite the People's Republic of China as "a wonderful development in the advance of humanity." They wax poetic about the 1966 Cultural Revolution in which millions of Chinese citizens were tortured and killed.

Ayers and Dohrn, in this same book, condemn the democratic state of Israel, denounce Zionism as racism, and endorse Palestinian terrorists as "a most progressive force in the politics of the Mideast."

The Anti-Defamation League of B'Nai B'rith, which monitors hate groups, has noted "a striking similarity between The Order and other rightist gangs and that of certain leftist terrorists, notably the Weather Underground ... and their allies."

According to the ADL: " ... their tactics are similar, and so are some of their basic objectives and attitudes. Both seek to destroy the American government and the system of constitutional liberty on which it rests. Both are sworn enemies of 'Zionism' and the State of Israel. Both are elitists who claim a monopoly of truth and the right to forcibly impose it on the majority. Both view the ordinary American citizen with contempt. And both seek to replace the American democratic system with a form of totalitarianism."

After playing revolutionaries, Ayers and Dohrn fell back on his family's wealth and political clout to fight their legal battles and help them obtain prestigious teaching positions. They are a disgrace to this town and an embarrassment to this country.

"I FEEL AS IF WE DIDN'T DO ENOUGH" ?????

I feel as if we didn't do enough if these 2 are still seeing daylight. If the American justice system didn't put them away forever, perhaps a group of patriots can think of a way to..let'say...dispense with them permanently???

Terkel is an old communist fool who can be relied upon to slam the U.S. and to appear as a kindly, wise, old philosopher on public radio. Of course nowadays he and others of his stripe call themselves progressives not communists. The hatred of the U.S. is still the same.

Harold Washington Library. Yeah, the same guy that used to have young men delivered to his home for sexual activities.

Also Chicago has a large group of FALN Puerto Rican terrorist sympathizers.

They were Weather Underground associates of the crew that committed an armed robbery in 1981 (?), wounding and/or killing some cops and armored car drivers. One of the perpetrators, Kathy Boudin, recently was denied parole. Dohrn and Ayers raised Boudin's child after she was arrested for the crime.

Maybe they could have an "accident" on the way to the book signing!
