Wright is right I believe. Chosen humiliation seems to be the best explanation of why killers choose to murder for al Qaeda.

Written by a 20 Year old kid who probably doesn't major in Physics, Engineering, Aviation, etc.? I'd rather not... Who is he to decide what happened that day? He probably wasn't even there... So STFU, and get out of my Country Traitor.

@mercuryrazvedka Journalists also have to stick to a standard of credibility for their bread & butter; when they don't, they become talk show hosts. I suppose one could give people like Alex Jones & Glenn Beck kudos for their creativity tho!

@leon134679 Good spelling is a start.

Mainstream media is declining for good reason. Journalists know where their bread is buttered and rearly cover the big/hard issues back home. Self censorship is indemic.

Lawrence knows Osama is a shadow puppet but is happy to go along to get along with the Government. So lets make a toast to Mr Wrights vapid integrity!
