The omnipotence of Al Qaeda and meaninglessness of "Terrorism" By Glenn Greenwald

[Jan Klimkowski]

One last question: if, as preliminary evidence suggests, it turns out that Breivik was "inspired" by the extremist hatemongering rantings of Geller, Pipes and friends, will their groups be deemed Terrorist organizations such that any involvement with them could constitute the criminal offense of material support to Terrorism? Will those extremist polemicists inspiring Terrorist violence receive the Anwar Awlaki treatment of being put on an assassination hit list without due process? Will tall, blond, Nordic-looking males now receive extra scrutiny at airports and other locales, and will those having any involvement with those right-wing, Muslim-hating groups be secretly placed on no-fly lists? Or are those oppressive, extremist, lawless measures -- like the word Terrorism -- also reserved exclusively for Muslims?

Indeed.

Maybe the US should start using predator drones to bomb Norwegian farms suspected of using fertilizer....

Anyone dressed in freemasonic ritual attire should presumably also be a target for the acne-scarred, gum-chewing, adolescent assassins pushing their joysticks in feverish excitement and demanding the power of death from afar....

There are plenty of easy targets where christian fundamentalists gather - starting with, ahem, places of worship aka churches. Langley should order up some preemptive strikes which the US regime's hired gun lawyers can justify on grounds of the "precautionary principle": Heaven knows what horrors these fundamentalists could be plotting.....

If Norway protests against America's infringement of its airspace and killing of its citizens by drone, Richard Armitage could threaten to bomb Scandanavia back to the Stone Age.
