Charles Krauthammer: Have we lost sight of 9-11 and the global war on terror? 12:06 AM CDT on Wednesday, June 8, 2005 The self-flagellation over abuse reports at Guantánamo has turned into a full-scale panic. There are calls for the United States, with all this worldwide publicity, to simply shut the place down. A terrible idea. Shutting down Guantánamo will solve nothing. We will capture more terrorists and we will have to interrogate them if not at Guantánamo, then somewhere else. Then reports from that somewhere else will mirror the charges coming out of Guantánamo. The self-flagellation has gone far enough. We know that al-Qaeda operatives are trained to charge torture when they are in detention and, specifically, to charge abuse of the Quran to inflame fellow prisoners . . .

Most of us here on FR recognize the danger of the continued politically correctness that is going on....in the United States especially. My last post on this subject was this morning
Here
It is clear to me that politically correctness is going to get a lot of us killed.

Even greater hypocrisy is to be found here at home. Civil libertarians, who have been dogged in making sure that FBI-collected Guantanamo allegations are released to the world, seem exquisitely sensitive to mistreatment of the Koran. A rather selective scrupulousness. When an American puts a crucifix in a jar of urine and places it in a museum, civil libertarians rise immediately to defend it as free speech. And when someone makes a painting of the Virgin Mary, smears it with elephant dung and adorns it with porn, not only is that free speech, it is art -- deserving of taxpayer funding and an ACLU brief supporting the Brooklyn Museum when the mayor freezes its taxpayer subsidy...Then we should get over it, stop whimpering and start defending ourselves.
And I will apologize after the Muslims apologize for 9/11.
Semper Fi,
Kelly

On the very day the braying mob in Pakistan demonstrated over the false Koran report in Newsweek, a suicide bomber blew up an Islamic shrine in Islamabad, destroying not just innocent men, women and children, but undoubtedly many Korans as well. Not a word of condemnation. No demonstrations. And on another thread here this morning, we see a Baptist minister beheaded in Bangla Desh. The Christians who knew him will mourn him, others will note the very real physical danger Christians face living in even a moderate muslim nation. But there will be no riots anywhere, no crazed Christians will take revenge on muslims in any other place for what happened there.
To be sure, there will be no justice given for the crime committed at all, and no Civil Rights organization anywhere will even acknowledge it happened, or pay it any importance whatever.

Good post!
Could the MSM do any more to try to undermine our efforts than they are now?

To Any FReepers: Take a minute & send an email to
special@foxnews.com & ask that Charles be a regular on the panel !
Mort is good. . .mostly fair & balanced. Fred is OK though he writes better than he speaks. But Ceci Connelly is AWFUL. Jeff Birnbaum isn't much better. And they've had a smirky, prissy Wash Post woman on a couple of times lately who makes Maria seem almost tolerable. And then there's Juan.
Krauthammer is an intellectual giant by comparison.

Charles K. probably gets more fan mail over at Fox than anyone but Brit Hume.

You're probably right ! And well deserved, too.

Try to imagine sitting in on an after-dinner conversation
between Charkes Krauthammer,and Victor Davis Hanson.
Just the three of you sitting there chatting.
I know for sure that my mouth would slightly open and not a single word would come out.

No prob! If you have the firefox internet browser you can even integrate it. You can download the extension, the right click in those name/password boxes and it fills them in automatically!
