Yeah, Right, Whatever

The Associate Dean of Harvard is in the hot seat... for calling it likes she saw it.

Kidd’s Feb. 15 e-mail warned of a possible retaliatory response to the biweekly conservative newspaper’s publication of controversial Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad.

She cautioned Salient editors to “be alert to the possibility that some segments of the campus and surrounding communities may be sufficiently upset by the publication of the cartoons that they may become dangerous.”

...The text of Kidd’s original e-mail made its way onto the open list of the Harvard Islamic Society (HIS) last week, prompting an uproar among Muslim students who called her words “offensive” and “unacceptable.”

Uh... I can't imagine how she might have reached the conclusion that publication of certain Danish cartoons might "sufficiently upset the community that they may become dangerous." Maybe she's seen some of these pictures:

Nah... it couldn't have been that...

BTW, she apologized. Figures.
