Ohhhh-kay. So she thought Yasser Arafat was NOT a terrorist. Check.

She thought terrorists should be treated according to international
law. Terrorists who violate EVERY international law when they commit
their terrorist acts. Check.

Indeed.

Maybe the 19 al Qaeda hijackers will buy Anna a drink if they bump
into each other somewhere in the hereafter.  

It's the least they can do for all of her past support.
