Australia Urged to Kill Baasyir | ||||
2004-12-20 | ||||
A former Australian diplomat has called on his country to assassinate radical Indonesian cleric Abu Bakar Baasyir, the alleged spiritual leader of regional terrorism network Jemaah Islamiyah. Duncan Campbell, a former Australian ambassador to Rome and Vienna, says Baasyir would be a legitimate target for a state-sanctioned but "deniable" poisoning.

#4 He may be an ace in 100 different ways, but he's a fool in this one. Agreed. While it also is fully agreed that âthose who incite and exploit [the dull, docile, stupid masses of jihad volunteers] . . . [should not be allowed to] continue to live in luxury,â broadcasting these sentiments only serves to inflame the âthe dull, docile, stupid masses of jihad volunteersâ to further violence and mayhem should anything befall the inciters and exploiters. A few months back, I think, there was a thread discussing the need for black ops to stay black . . . |

#3 I have been pushing this Gideon/Phoenix approach for some time, usually in response to "nuke 'em all" ravings at LGF. A few hundred well-aimed pistol bullets, combined with such ad hoc methods as telephone bombs and things as simple as a well-timed push down the stairs, could do as much good as all the firepower we have unleashed so far. In fact, I think it could win the war and revive human progress if leaders were willing to think far enough outside the box. Imagine: A terrorist banker/bagman falls down the stairs in Rome. A notorious propagandist is killed when his Bentley unaccountably leaves a British motorway at 100 mph. A safehouse in rural France burns down, together with the collaborators inside. A Saudi-registered Gulfstream vanishes over the Indian Ocean, taking a prince of the realm with it. A revisionist professo-liar is found hanging from a tree on an American campus; an apparent suicide, but there is no note. Heinous? Unlawful? Cruel? Sure, but is it really worse than endless war with the real enemy exempt from attack? If the dull, docile, stupid masses of jihad volunteers can be slaughtered till hell won't have it, and justly so, should those who incite and exploit them continue to live in luxury? |

#1 His ideas aren't wacky or wrong, IMHO - we should repeal such Church Committee turds - but talking to any sort of reporter about them? Now, if anything happens to poor little old Bashir (typical - there are 5-6 different spellings of this shithead's name) - well now, Mr Campbell has pointed a finger already, hasn't he? He may be an ace in 100 different ways, but he's a fool in this one. |
