From the desk of George Handlery on Thu, 2011-10-06 13:46 Here is the headline of the justly respectedFrankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) dated September 29th. “Terrorverdächtiger festgenommen. Amerikaner wollte Pentagon mit Modellflugzeugen angreifen“. (Terror suspect arrested "An American wanted to attack the Pentagon with model airplanes".) The text lets one discover that the “American” impostor intending to conduct his Jihad against the Pentagon is a Rezwan X. In itself, the term that is used here is a supportive and obedient bow before the altar of PC. As always in such cases, the phrasing serves to blunt the message and to protect the unworthy. It is hardly likely that the official US citizenship of Rezwan had much to do with his self-perceived identity and whatever possible loyalties that might have arisen out of the implied commitment to America.
