The New York Times Makes Nice To a Suicide Bomber

The New York Times shows us how to remember the recent Tel Aviv suicide bomber the New York Times way:

"We grew up together here, we studied together at the same university, that's why I'm so shocked," said Muhammad, also 21, who like Sami's other friends and some of his relatives would not give his full name. "He was known as a simple person, with a good sense of humor," he added, wiping tears into his gelled hair. "We didn't know of any ties to a political movement."

Shocked!Where else can killers sound like comedians? Maybe the Times would feel different if the violence were hitting close to New York?
