This was buried in a tiny paragraph on page A18 of my local newspaper. I thought we were involved in a war against these people? I guess becuase these victims aren't white or European, they don't deserve our attention.

Group Claims It Blew Up Philippines Ferry

MARIVELES, Philippines - The Muslim extremist group Abu Sayyaf claimed responsibility Sunday for a ferry explosion and fire that killed at least two people, though 180 more were missing, according to a radio report.

Of course I think it would have been a bit more helpful to say "Muslim Extremist Group" in the headline, but who am I to judge those poor, oppressed people. I mean don't they have the right to kill a couple of hundred or couple of thousand people every once in awhile to relieve the pressure they must feel having to live under the thumb of the U.S. and Israel.
