“In ordinary times, such an event might destroy a man’s career in public service.”
In sane times, such an event would have gotten him a medal for saving US lives.
These aren’t sane times, though.

In ordinary times, such an event might destroy a man's career in public service. The reporter got this backwards. In ORDINARY times, the guy would be a hero. We don't live in ordinary times. We live in marxist, PC, cry baby times. Every once in a while someone gives us a glimpse into ordinary times.

“Mr. Klein portrays himself as the pragmatic moderate, willing to cross the aisleor even cross his own presidentfor his constituents.”
Pragmatic moderate. Ah-huh. Klein has a lifetime ACU rating of...wait for it...1.33. That’s four points lower than Robert Wexler or Alcee Hastings, and surpassed among Florida Democrats only by Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

Lt. Col. Allen West forced an Iraqi prisoner to the ground, counted down to zero and fired a pistol over his head to scare him into revealing planned attacks on U.S. troops. The Army relieved him of command. Only half the story. The other half is that he immediately reported himself to his superiors. While his conduct was against military regulations he left with his integrity and honor. Both of these qualities are in short supply in Washington.

Scaring(but not injuring) the crap (and intel) out of a terrorist is against the rules?
The rules need changing.

VFW PAC unbelievably endorsed the Rat Klein over Lt. Col. West. The corrupt PAC also endorsed Rats Boxer and Kanjorski!

It would have been kept hush hush if possible, denied at all governmental levels if not possible.
