End of CNN message.
If this was a calculated action, to hide it under the WTC attack, I feel it
is in disrespect of the dead Americans. If it was not, I was wrong - and I
should apologise.
My post was not intended as a personal attack on Jonathan, but I understand
it can be regarded as that. My apologise for not writing my post in a better
and more understandable way. I probably have no possibility of generating an
idea of how it feels to be a victim of a terrorist act, or to live in the
fear of being a victim. I can
only guess that in such a situation, I would throw away all my nice
intellectual ideas about the rights of the enemy, and defend my society and
myself. I should have known better than to attack Jonathan on this subject.
