Patty Murray wasn't praising bin laden,

I disagree with this writer above, because, in fact, she was praising bin laden. Her remarks were not questions but statements she alleged to be complete facts. She made him sound like a terrific leader -- and, made us in the USA seem like a bunch of jerks for failing to acknowledge him in all his glory.

I find it amazing that so many people gloss over the fact that the things Murray said Bin Laden was doing are not even true. Can you imagine radical islamists building day care centers when they don't even allow women to leave the house without a male relative. Who would be using these mythical day care centers?

Once again, this is a case of the democrats intentions mattering more than what they actually say. This only applies to democrats because they are always assumed (by the main stream media and other democrats)to have good intentions, while Republicans are always assumed to have evil ones.
