Abu Abbas dies in U.S. custody

We caught him in Iraq last year and have held him prisoner there. Apparently he had a heart problem, and his family and supporters are claiming that he was denied treatment.

Palestinian groups have reacted with fury to the death in US custody of Abu Abbas, mastermind of the 1985 Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking. Abbas, leader of the Palestinian Liberation Front (PLF), apparently died of natural causes, US officials said. ... Abbas was one of several PLF members who carried out the 1985 attack on the Achille Lauro, in an attempt to secure the release of 50 Palestinian prisoners being held in Israel. The ship was seized while sailing between the Egyptian cities of Alexandria and Port Said. During the two-day stand-off, the gunmen killed Klinghoffer, an elderly US Jew confined to a wheelchair, and threw his body overboard. Klinghoffer's family said on Tuesday that Abbas' death had robbed them of justice for the killing: the one consolation was that he died in captivity.

Yes, the act of killing Mr. Klinghoffer was hideous. But how on earth are we ever going to have any hope of a world in peace if we talk about being robbed of justice by someone's death? What did they want by way of justice? As the saying goes...

An eye for an eye, and the whole world goes blind.

Consider this Palestinian man's response to something perhaps even more hideous.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
