USA Today notes a growing problem:
Disturbing trend shows that terrorists see no limits on their violenceAs it happens, that headline appears in only the print edition, on page A-2; it is not in the online version of the story.
"Disturbing trend?" After the death of 3000 Americans in an attack intended to kill tens of thousand more — to cripple the American economy, destroy its military nerve-center, and to kill the executive — and after dozens more attacks around the world, and after the beheading of dozens of civilians ... USA Today's editors note a "disturbing trend?!"
It gets yet more pathetic.
They solicit the thoughts of a Harvard professor who offers this shameful imbecility:
Increasingly, terrorists see no limitations to their violence, Stern says. “Terrorists in the past seemed, ironically, to face a certain kind of moral and political constraint. They wouldn't sink this low,” she says. “Their desire (now), I believe, is to make us feel fearful and extremely distressed.”The Learned Perfesser is wrong. Their desire now, as ever, is to kill all of us.
