Empathy Alert

Ths news today, about the El Al hijacker who has apparently confessed in Turkish custody after reportedly being threatened with castration, can be taken a number of different ways:

1. It's a warning: Don't mess up in Turkey;
2. Someone needs to make sure Andrea Dworkin and Mary Daly don't read this

Bad luck to pick Turkey as a destination, by the way - the only Moslem nation that maintains cordial relations with Israel.
