here's one way to get more press

From an article in The Australian:

"ONE of the greatest living US writers has praised terrorists as 'very brave people' and used drug culture slang to describe the "amazing high" suicide bombers must feel before blowing themselves up. Kurt Vonnegut, author of the 1969 anti-war classic Slaughterhouse Five, made the provocative remarks during an interview in New York for his new book, Man Without a Country, a collection of writings critical of US President George W. Bush...in discussing his views with The Weekend Australian, Vonnegut said it was 'sweet and honourable' to die for what you believe in, and rejected the idea that terrorists were motivated by twisted religious beliefs. Vonnegut suggested suicide bombers must feel an "amazing high". He said: 'You would know death is going to be painless, so the anticipation - it must be an amazing high.'"
