Sigh.

From Washingtonpost.com today.

For Yemeni journalist Mohammed Asaadi, the debate is a life and death issue. The 31-year-old editor of the Yemen Observer, an English-language weekly, returns to a courtroom today to face charges of blasphemy for reprinting versions of three of the Danish cartoons. If found guilty, he could be sent to a firing squad.

Any rational person would think that this was outrageous, and immediately lose sympathy for the human beings that our government is killing and attempting to oppress every day. The rational side of me is meant to care less and less about whether we commit atrocities against fundamentalist Muslim regimes, based on sensationalist bullshit like this.

Thanks, Washington Post, for making my daily world news utterly unreadable government propaganda.
