Email to Mr. Daniel:
I recently read a column of yours comparing cigarette burns done at a fraternity party and obtaining information from terrorists. How is it you are unable to see the difference between fraternity pranks and obtaining the required information to prevent 3000 people from having to choose between taking their own lives by plummeting thousands of feet onto concrete and burning alive as the result of the evil that evil men do?
This is war. We could live with them if they wanted to be lived with. But the core of their toy religion is that we must die or be enslaved. The people that we are fighting would be willing to kill women you know because they dressed wrong, or learned to read, or "got uppity" in a dozen different ways, and uncontent with doing this to their own women (as if that wasn't evil enough) want to do the same in other countries. Is this not evil enough for you?
Their "god" says that democracy is evil, that you don't get a vote in how you are ruled, that a Imam tells you how to behave today, and that if he decides it changes tomorrow, you don't even get to question it, or you are dead. Is this not evil enough for you?
Their toy religion says that asking too many of the wrong questions means you are a heretic, and that you can be killed. How does this make you feel as a journalist, if nothing else? Is this not evil enough for you?
Please do some real journalism, and seek out some of the 9-11 families, and ask them if it would be worth putting underware on the head of a known terrorist if it would bring back their daddies, their husbands, their wives. Ask them if blathering on about the rights of killers makes America look weaker to terrorists who respect nothing but strength. And ask them if begging the world's forgiveness for being a free democracy and apologizing for believing in personal liberty and America will bring back the hundreds of people that have been beheaded, slashed, burned and horribly killed in the last 30 years in the name of Allah.
The winning side proves it is right by defeating the ones who want us dead. Your father probably knew that, if he lived through WWII. When slogging through the jungles of the South Pacific, or storming the beaches in France, far less pampered men weren't riddled with self-doubt about the rights of the men who awaited to try and kill them. I wish we had their clarity in this war. Maybe if the next large-scale terrorist attack takes out someone you care about, you will understand what evil is, and why "being a big meanie" to killers by keeping them awake with rock and roll is nothing that will keep ME awake tonight riddled with angst.
Never have watched it.
I suppose it was the head of someone the terrorist knew. Wish we had someone like Jack working for us.
I got the 24 bug while watching a 24 hour marathon on tv. Bought all the old seasons just to watch while I worked out......great tv viewing, better on dvd.
Wow! --- Fantastic response!!!
Perhaps this would have read better if I had been drunk?
But, since I was sober, I think Mr. Silliman is a dreadful writer. Perhaps he should take some night courses in English composition at the local community college.
"Hey, Mr. Silliman tally me banana, daylight come and I wanna go home!"
Bravo!
Right to the point, thanks. I always enjoy reading your perspective.
If only this were satire. Unfortunately, there seem to be a few folks who actually think this way.
Liberals are generally spoiled mammer's boys and girls. They haven't had to grow up; the world is their oyster just waiting for them to crack it open. The "Great Oyster Crackers", the Clintons, are their ultimate icons.
The only time they'll ever have to grow up and live in the real world is when their actions, or inactions, result in the jihadist beheaders knocking their own personal doors down in the middle of the night and dragging them into the street for public beheadings. . providing Amadinajabba or Little Ill doesn't nuke us first . . courtesy of the Clintons' lucrative deals.
I think Mia T. has done a really good job of exposing the liberal "Oyster Crackers" and the D.U. types trolling and lurking here on F.R. could learn the truth about their role models and decide whether or not they REALLY want to emulate or support such trashy traitors.
torture = "LOUD MUSIC/SLEEP DEPREVATION"END IF
torture = "BEHEADING"
torture = "WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO MEAN"
I don't have a problem with torture to a certain degree. For example, the officer who shot a bullet just to the right of a detainees head and got information that saved lives. I certainly think we should be above things like cutting off fingers one at a time - stuff like that.
