The dealer where I bring my car for service has several PCs with high-speed internet access in the customer waiting area - how cool is that?

NEW HAVEN, March 23 — An Israeli athlete who survived the attacks at the Munich Olympics in 1972 spoke about his ordeal for the first time in the United States on Thursday night at Yale, warning that reprisal killings of terrorists only lead to "bloodshed and more bloodshed."

For me, this is the most fascinating thing about the article:

Mr. Alon was staying with members of the shooting team, who had guns. After a short discussion, however, the athletes decided not to shoot their attackers because they did not know how many had entered the complex or whether they would retaliate by killing the hostages.

I certainly can't blame them - even today they'd probably be put on trial for murder of the terrorists.

Which makes me wonder...let's say that the people on Flight 93 were able to land the plane after attacking the hijackers, killing them in the process. The passengers who killed the hijackers would have to be tried for murder, wouldn't they? I mean, it is pre-meditated and you can't REALLY know they're going to crash the plane until it actually happens, right? Things that make you go hmmmm....
