I'll just wait a bit...
You know all those people who are always complaining about how we treat our prisoners? How we don't handle their Korans with sufficient cringing respect? "Torture" at Gitmo?
Well, I'm just going to sit here and hold my breath (not) while I wait for them to protest how the terrorists treat the prisoners who fall into their hands. Protest some little trifles like real torture, and murder.
C'mon guys, where's the candle-light vigil? I'm waiting....

Posted by: Andrea Harris at June 20, 2006 06:56 PMGetting them to stop being bad guys is why we’re doing nation building over there. Getting our government to stop acting like bad guys is why we have elections...
To put it differently: US citizens send men and women with guns to stop torture overseas. To stop torture here, we send hippies with flowers...
Like I said, don't hold your breath.
