Ed Herman sounds like a great guy who's be a terrific Congressman. Hope he beats that leftist weasel like a rented mule. Though I know the odds are long against him.

"What do Osama bin Laden and Dennis Kucinich have in common?" Herman asks. He waits a beat while all kinds of wacky things run through your mind: Both men laid waste to an American city? "

I live here in Cleveland and that one is definitely true. At least the part about Kookcinich laying waste to an American city, Osama hasn't even done that.

Good post .. thanks for article & sharing. Kucinch is a joke (and an embarrassment to me in NE Ohio even tough I am not in his district) but the locals "love" him & see him as a caring person ... (he feels their pain? )

We all have so much work in the upcoming election yet to educate those who have bought into the mainstream talking party lines of the RATS. I pray that folks here at FRee Republic are out & working their hearts out for our president & the locals to turn the map of US Red...

With less than a month to go until Election Day, it's war, baby.

Herman, a fresh-faced, 30-year-old Lakewood real estate agent, hopes to parlay his experience as a U.S. Army interrogator sent to Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11 into a stunning November victory.

Fluent in Arabic, Sergeant Herman grilled al-Qaida and Taliban prisoners, first at a detention center in Kandahar and later in Bagram, north of Kabul, for nine months from December 2001 to August 2002.

"In the beginning, at Kandahar, the phone would ring and it'd be [Secretary of Defense Donald] Rumsfeld calling to find out what was going on," Herman remembers.

As a member of Task Force 202, the first Army intelligence unit deployed in the Bush war on ism, Herman is featured in a new book, The Interrogators: Inside the Secret War Against Al Qaeda (Little, Brown and Co.; $25.95), written by Chris Mackey, the man who recruited Herman when they both were students at Fordham University in New York City

Eric, I wish you had stayed in C-Town. We coulda knocked off Kucinch!
