Has anyone suggested a bin Laden defense fund?
Poor bin Laden. So misunderstood in his terrorism. All he ever did was attack Americans. The bin Laden defenders don't seem to consider his actions as terrorism. In fact, he's being made into a hero for countering the "evil" U.S. Maybe the U.S. should compensate the bin Laden's for killing Osama?

It's likely they can get BushCo lawyers to represent them?

Will Greenwald and Chomsky start a bin Laden defense fund?

4. Oh, just throwing it out there for the sympathizers.
The RW seems to have suddenly found a soft spot for terrorist.

I'm still popping the cork that they popped his ass!

He's dead! Good riddance!

6. The bin Laden family was in business with the Bush family.
Through the Carlyle Group, for one thing. Then there's W's Texas Air National Guard guru...

20. Ah, there we go. We're getting closer now.
I have read some very good pieces by both of them concerning the killing of OBL. I wouldn't label them defenders of OBL, though. I would say that they are defending the rule of law and what should be American standards. They are engaging in an honest debate about both what happened and the implications for the future.

There are a lot of questions opened by this operation. Trying to label all those who are asking those important questions is Bush League.

22. Closer?
It was in the OP.

"I have read some very good pieces by both of them concerning the killing of OBL."

Their arguments are baseless, arrived at by ignoring key facts and making false equivalences.

25. How dare they ask questions of the offical story.
If I remember Chomsky asked the very important questions about what next. Where do we go from here? Where do the nations of the rest of the world go from here? What are our limits? What precedents have been set?

But, yeah, you're probably right. A bunch of bin Laden defending terrorist sympathizers. With us or against us, right?

27. Who said they can't question?
They can ask all the questions they want to. Others are also free to call their claims and questions bogus, and poke holes in their arguments wherever they exist.

Is that OK?

23. Yep.
Questioning the official story in any way gets the label of a terrorist sympathizer. Asking for verification or validation of official propaganda is increasingly squashed.
