For some perspective, this is the woman who said, of the 9/11 hijackers "...In the matter of courage (a morally neutral virtue): whatever may be said of the perpetrators of Tuesday's slaughter, they were not cowards." In effect, suggesting we got what we deserved.

Her career is chock full of same similar bullspit commentary praising despots, and tyrants ...

What exactly did she do anyway?

Heh! And my brother gets mad when I called her, "Snotrag."

[justshutupandtakeit]

Your interpretation of what she said is completely wrong.
Courage IS a neutral virtue and can be showed by evil as well as good people. She is NO WAY justified the acts of the terrorists (in that quote.)

Razors cut flesh, bone and hair without regard.

Self-indulgent crap. After 9/11: "Where is the acknowledgment that this was not a `cowardly' attack on `civilization' or `liberty' or `humanity' or `the free world' but an attack on the world's self-proclaimed superpower, undertaken as a consequence of specific American alliances and actions?" she wrote in The New Yorker.

I won't miss her.

First, brainwashed people are not courageous, especially when they kill unarmed civilians. I am not impressed at all that they take their own lives in their villainies. Secondly, Sontag was a true believer and a thug enabler. Whatever talent she may have had was hopelessly diluted by her failings as a human.
