People’s Weekly Brief
“Mike Baker: Terrorists and Morality”
Tuesday, February 19, 2008
By Mike Baker
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Just the other night, while having our usual Wednesday happy hour at the office with the handful of PWB staffers either still gainfully employed or not currently incarcerated, one of the interns asked if I thought it was morally okay to be happy that the senior Hezbollah terrorist Imad Mughniyeh had just been blown up in a car bomb in Damascus, Syria.
Huh? Or better yet, mmmm.
As I poured myself a tasty measure of bourbon (from a bottle bought just that day to celebrate Mughniyeh’s explosion) I stared at the intern with my best, most sincere look of concern. This was certainly a moral quandary.
A young, idealistic intern, just at the beginning of life’s journey — all full of beans and optimism. As I silently pondered how the folks at Bakers make their bourbon so yummy, I also took a minute to consider how best to answer the intern’s stupid question. The pause clearly made me look wise. Wise and sensitive to her concern.
I sat down, snagged a couple of cashews, which I think go really well with bourbon, and stared hard at the intern.
The fact that just that morning I had declared it “Mughniyeh Finally Got What He Deserved By Being Blown Straight To Hell Day” at the office, with a banner, refreshments and everything, clearly had made her think I was insensitive to his death.
The rest of the staff sat quietly waiting for an answer. “Did I think it was morally okay to be happy that Mughniyeh got all blowed up?”
Time for an answer.”
An Islamic preacher accused of trying to establish a terrorist training camp in Oregon has asked a British court to block his extradition to the United States.
This month, Britain's Home Office approved the extradition of Abu Hamza al-Masri, who once led London's Finsbury Park Mosque.
The mosque's worshippers have included Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui and so-called "shoe bomber" Richard Reid.
