I think indirectlly, the issue has been addressed. Speaking for myself, (and I assume I am lumped in the "left side"), I dont really see a need to express outrage over the acts of Al Quedia. Why? Becuase it is obvious; they are fucking insane. They only thing that really suprises me about this recent torture / murder is that it has only happened a few times. I would expect them to be doing this shit as much as often as they could. Moreover, the world knows exactully what to expect to Al Queida, they do not hold themselves out to be something they are not. and without any argument, they are fucking crazy and need to be stopped.

and then there is the USA. the reason some people may seem quick to jump the acts of the american government is that often we claim to the "leaders of the free world", and then we run around invading other countries, torturing people to death, and throwing internationsl human rights out the window. and therein lies a serious contridiction. am I going to call bullshit on that? damn right I am, and I am going to do so b/c I want this country to *remain* one of the best in the world.
