Faisal Shahzad in the libertarian media, Leftwing libertarians mostly ignore

From Eric Dondero:

Commentary and repoting on the World's now most famous Pakistani Islamic Terrorist has been light for the most part in the libertarian media, and particularly scarse on the leftside of the libertarian movement.

Reason has one single Hit & Run post by Radley Balko where he offers short snarky commentary making fun of all sides, in a "Round-up" of other reporting from major media on Shahzad.

LewRockwell.com has a bizarre post "Did Alan Greenspan cause the Semibombing in Times Square?":

The alleged sortabomber of Times Square lost his family’s home in a foreclosure and suit by Chase Home Finance. Was Faisal Shahzad fooled into the Fed’s housing bubble, and then victimized by its depression? If so, was this the motive for the almost-bombing?

Knappster has no blog entries on the NYC Bombing. Though, Knappster has informed us that his other blog has covered the story:

At RRND, I've covered the story as news three days in a row (the three editions that have been published since the attempted bombing), twice "above the fold," and blurbed various commentaries on it.

The Libertarian Party at http://www.lp.org has no reporting on the Terrorist attack.

AntiWar.com has re-posts of articles from major media on the Terrorist Bombing, but no Blog posts from Eric Garris in their Blog section.

Kudos to Doug Mataconis at BelowTheBeltway.com. He is running an article, "Faisal Shahzad Charged With Five Counts Related To Attempted Times Square Bombing."

Cato@Liberty Blog has no posts directly on the Terrorist Attack. Though, Julian Sanchez curiously has a well-timed piece on surveillance cameras in Times Square, "The City that Never Blinks." Sanchez makes no mention in the piece of Shahzad or Islamic Terrorism.

The Liberty Papers has no stories at all on the Bombing. Rather, they saw fit to highlight the 40th Anniversary of the Kent State Massacre as their headliner.

Of course, the Right Libertarian media has taken an entirely different tact. Articles galore at Left Coast Rebel, Right Guy, Atlas Shrugs, The Other McCain, HotAir.com.
