Washington Post’s Creepy Apologetic Piece On The Mastermind of the Kenyan Mall Massacre

Wait, were you just quoting Huma Abedin from the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs?

NAIROBI — The alleged Somali mastermind of the assault on a posh mall that killed scores and jolted Kenya is a man of contradictions. 
Mukhtar Abu Zubeyr, known as Godane, is bookish, eloquent in both Arabic and Somali, recites poetry and is known to quote from obscure academic journals, analysts say. 
Yet he trained and fought in Afghanistan for the jihadist cause and has ruthlessly killed most of his rivals to seize control of al-Shabab, a Somali militia linked to al-Qaeda that has asserted responsibility for the mall attack.

They're usually sane, wealthy, and educated.

Doesn't anyone think my joke about Huma is funny?

Sheesh.

Yes, come to think of it we never saw her Application CV.

I wonder if she mentioned 'reciting poetry' :)
