Burn out

News flash: The Rev. Terry Jones of Gainesville, Fla., says he has canceled Saturday plans to commemorate 9/11 with a Quran bonfire because backers of the Islamic center planned near ground zero have agreed to move the project. But wait: Islamic center supporters say they haven’t done anything of the sort, only that they’ve agreed to talk with Jones. So stay tuned. In any event, Jones must be feeling the pressure. While President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney and Gen. David Petraeus all speaking as one in opposition to the proposed Quran roast isn’t the same thing as a voice from heaven — it’s getting close.
