All of the above. We've become so PC in this country that I don't see how we'll possibly win the war on terror. The jihadists won't defeat us. We'll defeat ourselves. We look like fools, imo, for some of the terrorist bill of rights stuff we've passed.
For crying out loud, not one thing that happened at Abu Graib was torture. Pretending dogs were going to bite but not letting them bite? Fake electrodes? Blankets over heads? Listening to obnoxious music? Sheesh. The jihadists must be laughing themselves sick.
On 9/11, within a few seconds, freepers said it was OBL. I was watching the news, channel surfing for information frantically because I have a stepbrother who worked in a building next to one of the towers, and not one of the anchors had a clue for a good 15-20 minutes. So all of what you said is correct, imo.
You forgot taking a prisoner's peanut butter and eating it in front of him.
P.S.: Shows you there's more good sense here on FR than the entire MSM. They are, if anything, more clueless, lazy, PC, self-serving, and gutless than many in gov.
