This somehow qualifies as news at the Post? Someone did something horrifically horrible but we won’t say where because it’s just too horrible<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A crude and tasteless Web site that claims 9\/11 was “funny” and the victims “deserved what they got” has provoked a storm of criticism.<\/p>\n

The site features a series of heartless jokes, cartoons, and vile photos that make light of the disaster.<\/p>\n

Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association President Patrick J. Lynch blasted the site as “crude, vulgar, hurtful and unpatriotic.”<\/p>\n

“The police officers who sacrificed their lives that day, and every day, do so to ensure the freedom of speech that this Web site insults,” he said.<\/p>\n

“America’s greatness lies in the tolerance of crap like this – where those responsible would be summarily executed for this kind of offense in a terrorist country.”<\/p>\n

The Webmaster, who identifies himself only as “Henry” and “Hank Tom,” invites people to send him hate mail via e-mail or a message board — and many have obliged.<\/p>\n

“You better hope we never meet in real life,” wrote one distressed Web surfer. “What happened to people on 9\/11 isn’t anything compared to what I will do to you.”<\/p>\n

There was no information on the identity of the ghoul who set up the site.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
