Just to stir the soup...

if I may vent a bit, I find it shameful, given the massive destruction, loss of innocent life, and ongoing hardships suffered by the hundreds of thousands of victims of Hurricane Katrina, that any self-appointed spokesperson for God would have the nerve to suggest that these people in any sense deserved their fate. Natural disasters happen all the time, and Katrina was certainly not the first hurricane to strike the southern United States this season. By what logic, and by what right, does any human being arbitrarily declare that this natural disaster was a punishment meted out upon sinners by God?

Equally infuriating...

Islamic extremists rejoiced, giving the storm a military rank and declaring in Internet chatter that ''Private'' Katrina had joined the global jihad.

Great find, Tonio!

I'm not surprised the extremists are dancing in celebration over the demise of N.O. though.

I knew they were going to rejoice, and say those very words.

Well fooey on them. By their own mandates, women can't hold a military rank...and this storm was 'female'.
