The Mumbai Attacks and Evil
In case you have somehow managed to forget what kind of people we're up against, Sullivan links to a story noting that the hostages were brutally tortured. Presumably no sane person will try to make excuses for this instance of mass murder. And presumably no one around these parts has any inclination to make such excuses. Still, perhaps it bears saying, no matter how obvious it is: the people who planned and carried out these attacks were/are evil. There is no plausible excuse for such mindless, soulless brutality.

Not morally equivalent but too close for comfort. I wish we had clean hands.
