guilty?

from the always excellent Snowmail, Jon Snow writes on the subject of Abu Hamza:

There's no doubting the odious nature of the utterances captured on video tape, but I must also confess a very slight concern about the extend to which he and his hook may have been demonised . My editor tells me that it's a typical wet liberal view (not for the first time).

which is pretty much how I feel. He's been here for 25 years - if what he did, and said, was so heinous, why did nobody deal with it sooner. If he didn't have a hook instead of a hand, and didn't wear a headdress, would people be so frightened?

why aren't we doing this with the Animal Liberation people, and the BNP?

I think, on balance, I'm not very happy with this verdict. But then I'm a woolly liberal too.
