So asks Spencer Ackerman in his blog post today:
For the sake of argument, let's take the most expansive theory of how Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to blow up a Detroit-bound passenger jet. According to the Wall Street Journal, Abdulmutallab gets an explosive device from al-Qaeda operatives in Yemen; takes a couple of layovers to get on the plane; boards with his device; ignites it; it fizzles; passengers and crew subdue him. And we're supposed to be scared of this?
Mr. Ackerman, the answer to your question is, Hell Yes!
So this terrorist was not very good at his job or his equipment failed. Maybe God stepped in and stopped the carnage. It was Christmas Day.
It brings home to us that there are still those who hate us to the point of sacrificing their own lives to kill our people. That's the bottom line. We can't afford to forget it.
Given that they strapped it to the guy's underwear, he was even willing to sacrifice his own personal reproductive equipment for this. Do you know ANY man who would consent to this? Just shows how truly insane these people are in their hatred of us. - Nancy
