Every Cloud

...has a silver lining. From The Australian
The Bali bombings that killed scores of Western holidaymakers attack had "positive aspects" because they turned people back to religion, a key suspect said today.
<sarcasm>Oh, that's alright then.</sarcasm>

But wait, there's more! In fact, the whole thing was... (you guessed it)... a plot by the Americans and Jews! From the ABC
Amrozi admitted he had sent 600 kilograms of explosives and a van to Bali, but he denied he had been involved in planning meetings or that he had ever heard of Jemaah Islamiah.

Instead he suggested America or Israel might have detected the car by satellite then planted a nuclear bomb outside the Kuta club instead.
Obviously he's been reading the We Control America website. Published by the Indefatigable Joe Vialls, author of such <sarcasm>well-researched masterpieces</sarcasm> as "Electronically Hijacking the WTC Attack Aircraft" and "Mossad's Subliminal Mind Control". And contributor to "The Truth Seeker" along with fellow luminary, Robert Fisk.

OK, why do I link to these -er- "progressive?" -er- "revisionist?" -er- "Psychotically Anti-Semitic" (that'll do) sites? Because I believe that such things should be exposed at every turn. Ignore them, and they fester. Drag them out from under their rock and into the sunlight, and they lose their power. Had we done the same for Al Qaeda, much harm might have been prevented. One thing that Amrozi said is quite true:
"For the foreigners, I said, you have learned your lesson."
Yes, we have, Mr Amrozi, Yes we have.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
