London-AP -- A British artist is apologizing -- for saying the hijackers who brought down the World Trade Center deserved "congratulating."

In a video essay last week for B-B-C News Online, Damien Hirst said the attack on the twin towers was "visually stunning" and "kind of like an artwork in its own right."

He said, "You've got to hand it to them on some level because they've achieved something which nobody would have ever thought possible." Hirst added, "So on one level they kind of need congratulating."

Today, Hirst released a statement of apology, and said he does not "condone terrorism of any kind." Hirst said that as a human being and an artist, he values "human life above all else."

Hirst is considered one of Britain's best young artists. He may be best known for cutting a calf in half and floating it in a tank of formaldehyde.

    I wonder, when that "hammer and sickle" kissing left-winger goes to speak, does his mouth and * swap places or was he born with them turned around?

    Kind of shocking what some people consider "art".

    I have a great idea for this guy's next project: Have himself cut in half and put in a vat of formaldehyde.

    Maybe he can get that sh**head Maplethorpe to join him.

    I have a great Idea for his next art exibit. Call it living art and place it in the middle of time square. Place him in a stockade and play the video of him making those heartless statements right out there for all to see and invite people to slap him up side his head.

    When Clinton left office they gave him a 21 gun salute. Its a damn shame they all missed....

    Hammer and Sickle has nothing to do with it. The guy is a tasteless monster.

    He's a "hit" with the Turban head crowd .......

    Remember, grasshopper .... the only difference between
    "hit" and *hit" is an "S"!

    That "S" hole needs to be dropped off the London tower, into a pool of alcohol and razor blades!
