Neil Cavuto - Common Sense
11 May 2004

Where's the Outrage?

There was another prisoner story, Tuesday. But I didn't hear much fuss over it.

In the Arab world, barely a mention of it. In the European media, not much more than an acknowledgment about it.

An American hostage beheaded by his captors. Captors who said they ridded the world of this prisoner because of the way we treat our prisoners.

The world has rightly made a fuss of that treatment. Odd how it barely said boo about "this" treatment.

A 26-year-old American contractor who wanted to do good apparently doesn't top a lot of naked Iraqi prisoners we made look bad.

I guess I'm not looking for an apology.

Though I do recall more than a few demanding of us an apology.

There is no excuse for dragging a prisoner by a dog collar. There is no excuse for beheading a prisoner with a large knife.

The dog collar gets the press and the outrage. The beheading gets some press but no outrage.

Save here. Among Americans who can rightly wonder why the dog collar is deplorable but the beheading not.

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't hear any chorus call for hearings on this. No commission to get to the bottom of this. No blue ribbon panels to investigate this.

No, worldwide barely a peep about the savagery of this. Nick Berg doesn't get that. The world all but saying, Nick Berg doesn't warrant that.

Funny, I've heard the world talk on and on and on about prisoners caught naked. Nothing like the naked truth of being caught silent.

The sound… is deafening.

Could be climactic battle of the last few months, and FoxNews cuts to the Kobe Bryant trial.

Karl Rove: "Of COURSE they'll vote Republican - where ELSE are they going to go?"

Ru Murdoch: "Of COURSE they'll watch FoxNews - where ELSE are they going to go?"

Remember the movie The Fifth Element? Bruce Willis walks into the room, pops the alien warlord in the forehead, then asks, "Anyone else want to negotiate?"

The US Army needs to adopt this policy when dealing with terrorists.

Welcome.

Although you do realize, I hope, that when someone is "welcomed" to Free Republic it is a signal to everyone that a potential troll has been spotted. "Welcome to Free Republic" is often said with dripping sarcasm.

But since you asked . . .

Welcome to Free Republic

I think we'd LIKE to get Sadr so he can be tried. If possible.

Good post - thanks. Cavuto is a little early maybe on the "silence" thing but it will be instructive to see how the world reacts.
Wonder what SeeBS will go with as their lead?
