But the sobering reality is more innocents are dead because this scumbag was set free.
The sobering reality is that war always results in the death of innocents; it is the nature of the beast. If there is any decency in war, it may be found in limiting those deaths, while still securing victory over an enemy that is the primary cause of the those deaths. Ironically, releasing Abdullah Mehsud may well be an example of this.
