This may be -- but let us apply the same general logic to all those bright young people of the '60s who tore the anti-war movement apart not only by their window-smashing 'street fighting' bank robbing foolishness but by their tearing every meeting apart with their screaming rhetoric. I can tolerate a criminal like those in al-quaida rather more than Bernadine Dohrn, Jeff Jones, or those snots that fell for SLA. They did far more for reaction than a dozen al-quaidas could do.
