Terrorism Unveiled blogger Athena is currently learning Arabic, and recently spent a period of time in Amman, Jordan as part of her education. As part of her travel posts, she describes a creepy evening with her affluent, well-educated hostess in Amman:
"Out of the blue, my host mother asks, "Who do you think was behind 9-11?" And of course I knew she was expecting me to say "Osama bin Laden," so instead I responded, "Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had a lot to do with the operational planning."
Don't mess with a blogger - those pajamas are deadly. You can guess what's coming next:
"To this she told me that was all a lie and that "the Israelis are behind this, it's all the Israeli Mossad who did this."
But you absolutely cannot guess what came next after that. Majnoon to the max. As I've said before, with apologies to James Carville: "It's the hate, stupid."

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
