“There Are Many More Like Me . . .”

“There Are Many More Like Me . . .”

The would-be assassin of the 278 innocents aboard Northwest Airlines flight 253, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, made that boast/threat after his bombing attempt failed due to a faulty detonator.

I just hope and pray that the FBI and CIA have a sufficient supply of Hershey bars to entice Mr. Abdulmutallab to “tell all” and spare the lives of others among us whose greatest sin might be a desire to travel to visit loved ones. Heaven forbid that anyone might even consider making dear Mr. Abdulmutallab (who is, after all, only alleged to have attempted a terrorist act) uncomfortable in any way. Only rightwing zealots would even think of waterboarding. The mere suggestion of such uncomfortable acts is ridiculous when we all know that Hershey bars and double frequent flyer points for the flight he almost blew up will surely provide enough “incentive” for Abdulmutallab to spill his guts.

Dear Mr. Abdulmutallab, as you lift your pretty little Muslim-terrorist head from your soft pillow this morning, my suggestion would be that you unfurl your little Prayer Rug, point it in the direction of Mecca, drop to your knees, and thank Allah that George Bush is not President! Not to fear, you will live to fly again. Those promised virgins are still within your reach . . .
