What the Hell is Going on at TIME?

Martin Kramer catches TIME magazine publishing an article by a Hamas mole:
Time runs an article in the March 17 issue by one Azzam Tamimi, on why it would be better to capture and not kill the “agitator” and “spiritual leader” (the word “terrorist” is not used) named Osama bin Laden. What Time doesn’t tell you is that Tamimi is a Hamas mole.
I’ve written before on Sandstorm about Tamimi’s Hamas affiliation and his extremism (which has included admiration for the “courageous” Taliban and full support for suicide bombings). He’s the London mouthpiece of a listed terrorist organization, and the three-man supervisory board of his private institute includes another Palestinian indicted with Sami Al-Arian last month.
Tamimi has now reached a readership of millions through Time, whose editors probably got his name from his American friends—people who really can’t tell a terrorist from an agitator. Tamimi’s article gives you the impression he is on “our side” against militant Islam, when in fact he is one of them. Go to the Time article, click on Tamimi’s name, and you’ll get a letter-to-the-editor form. Set Time straight.
