I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

A Terrorist Confesses

The thug who was accused of murdering Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh has confessed to the murder. Not that he’s repentant mind you.

Check out this quote:

After the prosecution’s closing statement Bouyeri, who had refused to say anything about his motives during the trial, took the opportunity to make a final statement.

“I can assure you that one day, should I be set free, I would do exactly the same, exactly the same,” he said, speaking slowly in sometimes halted Dutch.

He said he felt an obligation to Van Gogh’s mother Anneke, present in court, to speak, but offered no sympathy.

“I have to admit I do not feel for you, I do not feel your pain, I cannot — I don’t know what it is like to lose a child,” he said as Van Gogh’s family and friends looked on.

“I cannot feel for you … because I believe you are an infidel,” he added.

“I acted out of conviction — not because I hated your son.”

Any more doubts that the war on terror is worth it ?

I didn’t think so.
