AT NYU, an appalling reaction to an outrageous crime. Sounds like Nir Rosen, with his “warmonger” bit, is channeling Brian Leiter. Funny how these people who are so opposed to all that nasty war stuff can be so . . . callous about violence.

UPDATE: As an antidote to the above nastiness, let me offer Ace’s take.

ANOTHER UPDATE: “When last seen on these pages, Nir Rosen was a journalist embedded with the Taliban who used his US documents to pass a band of Taliban through an Afghan government checkpoint.”

From the comments: “And only a couple of months ago he was welcomed to UT Austin by The Center for Women’s & Gender Studies [sic]. And this isn’t even ironic.”

MORE: On further thought, it’s probably unfair to link Brian Leiter to Nir Rosen, despite the common condemnation of warmongers. Leiter’s Soviet-Union nostalgia, while execrable, lacked the personal nastiness of Rosen’s comments.
