Mitchell shared an elephant tale that I had heard before. It’s instructive.

With all that has happened recently, the Washington Post has a series of articles and views from Muslims of differing walks of life on controversial topics. This Sunday, they ran, ‘As American as you are’, ‘Why do they hate us‘, ‘Losing my jihadism‘ and ‘Bush still doesn’t get it‘

Do these maniacs have a heart in their chests?
A Muslim missionary who tipped off authorities about the activities and whereabouts of al-Qaida-linked militants on a southern Philippine island has been found dead and his body mutilated, a military official said Thursday.
