You might have missed the conclusion of the story, since the retractions coming out the next morning were not as loud or as clear. Here's the story and further commentary about good vs. evil. http://www.wsws.org/articles/2001/sep2001/atta-s15.shtml Furthermore, I heard a sentence spoken on TV that left me flabbergasted: somebody (a suspect) was being described as looking "slightly Arab." I firmly believe that this kind of atmosphere is fostered by incendiary pieces such as this one (http://www.nationalreview.com/coulter/coulter.shtml): "We know who the homicidal maniacs are.
