Oh, if only this Washington Post article had come out a week ago. It is better suited for a Valentine's Day card than for journalism. The Post begins with a harlequinesque description of the manly lead:
"The scraggly beard that his young son once loved to play with had been shaved off, leaving only an exiguous moustache. His curly, shoulder-length locks had been clipped down to a crew cut. Gone, too, were the crisp, white headdress he often wore and any semblance of the good humor once familiar to his family.”
The object of The Washington Post's amorousness? Why a serial killing, radicalized Muslim terrorist of course!
Even before 9/11, this guy was being pumped up with jihad fantasies in a radical Kuwaiti mosque. Eventually, they convinced him to go fight in Chechnya. He failed to get in the fight so a few months later he headed off to Pakistan to fight for the Taliban against the Afghan Northern Alliance. After warring for eight months in service to the Taliban he was captured.
The real question in the mind of Washington Post writer Rajiv Chandrasekaran is - was Abdallah Saleh al-Ajmi radicalized by detention at Guantanamo Bay?
Of course, of course, the radical mosque, his indoctrination in jihad, actually living with and fighting with the Taliban had nothing to do with his radicalization...it's our fault. Never mind that his own family members admit that he was up to no good, that he admitted to fighting against the coalition, never mind that. We radicalized the poor innocent twenty-three year old.
His assault on his own defense attorney's interpretor with hot tea, you guessed it, our fault. His return to jihad and murder of thirteen Iraqis via a suicide bombing? Our fault.
The Washington Post practically absolves the young man of any guilt for several pages by hiding the indications that he is a typical, sociopath murderer on page five. The reason? The Washington Post is setting the stage so that when Obama releases more of these fanatic, serial-killers and they kill more Americans then Obama and his media lapdogs can blame it on Bush for “creating them” in the first place - pure sychopantic, political cover.
