Helen Thomas - moral equivalency

What is this woman doing with a microphone pointed at her? What is she doing in the White House? 

Ed Morrissey points out how simply innacurate the woman is:

The Taliban in Pakistan cross the border into Afghanistan to fight the government and NATO; they are primarily Pakistanis, not Afghans.  Osama bin Laden is neither — he’s a Saudi of Yemeni descent who runs a network of mostly foreign fighters comprising Uighers, Uzbeks, Chechens, and Arabs out of the FATA, and who by the way attacked the US on 9/11 and not any of the aforementioned countries.  “Their own country” is as ignorant as it gets.

Ignorant indeed. Like Thomas says at the end - “we (she) needs some intellectual honesty.”
