<p>Amazing. Neoconservative Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin blames the Norwegian horror on jihadists, and Jim Fallows <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2011/07/the-washington-post-owes-the-world-an-apology-for-this-item/242400/">nails her</a>. Rubin:</p>
<blockquote><p>We don&#8217;t know if al Qaeda was directly responsible for today&#8217;s events, but in all likelihood the attack was launched by part of the jihadist hydra.</p></blockquote>
<p>She says we need to keep funding the war on terror and drags Gary Schmitt of American Enterprise Institute into it. He says: &#8220;But as the attack in Oslo reminds us, there are plenty of al-Qaeda allies still operating. No doubt cutting the head off a snake is important; the problem is, we&#8217;re dealing with global nest of snakes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fallows:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Seven</span> Seventeen hours after the Post item went up, <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">six</span> sixteen hours after its claims were shown to be false and hysterical, it&#8217;s still there, with no correction or apology.</p></blockquote>
<p>Steve Clemons <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2011/07/jennifer-rubins-fear-mongering/242401/">also weighs in</a> on Rubin&#8217;s &#8220;fearmongering.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>Perhaps you should link the extremist violence from right wing fanatics, Christian religious zealots within our countries &#8212; within the US, within Norway, and elsewhere &#8212; to your pet causes.  Would at least be more technically correct.</p></blockquote>
