"True Evil"

The Best of the Web comments on news that Al Qaeda is being supplied with retarded women who are then used as suicide bombers: "Read that again: The head of a mental hospital (allegedly) provided women under his care to al Qaeda to use as human bombs, for the purpose of murdering as many innocent people as possible. We are at a loss for words to characterize the depth of this evil. It makes you wonder about the folks who condemn America with such self-righteous zeal over morally ambiguous practices like 'waterboarding' terrorists or even generally accepted practices such as holding enemy combatants for the duration of wartime. One suspects that they do so primarily out of fear--in order to close their minds to the contemplation of true evil."
