I did not see it but heard radio commentary where alleged viewers were incensed that he said something to the effect that flying a plane into a skyscraper was not cowardly & took courage. In a way I'd agree. Those pilots had the courage of their convictions that in milliseconds thay'd be in paradise welcomed by Allah and houris for eternity.

Misguided - yes.
Fanatical True Believers - yes.
Heartless sociopathic bastards - yes.
Cowards - no.

Mahr then allegedly said that our cruise missile video game warfare did not take courage. Guess what, me, I'd be lots less scared to press a cruise missile button than to storm a fortified cave on the ground and then go inside for cleanup.
