Curious if you received a reply from them? The So Cal chapter of 'Terrorists Live Among You' wasn't very happy with my question of their lack of criticism about the torture, murder and mutilation of our two soldiers. I simply asked if they were going to make a statement on their self-serving website anytime soon.
I received this reply:
>> If you were smart enough you would have noticed that our website has not been updated for almost 5 months now. We have not been able to find a replacement for our webmaster who left town. And for your info, the radio host issue had nothing to do with silence or lack of it. It has to do with pure bigotry for which he apologized.
As for the crimes in Iraq, you can check our dozens of statements which have loudly criticized the frequent show of brutality on both sides, our occupation forces and the Iraqi insurgency or terrorists. The key to ending this tragic cycle of violence is by ending our illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq. We have no business being there. We wouldn't others to occupy our country, would you? If you truly care for our soldiers, and it seems not, you would be emailing the president right now asking him to bring our troops back home to their families. It seems some people, like yourself, are just satisfied to send our young men and women to be killed in order to satisfy other people's warmongering desires. Shame on you. Our soldiers deserve better than that. Imagine if you were one right now <<
They apparently want to engage in a wizzing contest. I sent a smokin' reply to them this morning.
I got 3 bounced emails, two of them today (hmmmm...wonder if their boxes got filled?) and this reply last night (the order is backward, his origanal reply is at the bottom, his last reply is first):
Our local website (cairchicago.org) focuses on local issues. Please contact the national website administrator at cair.com for national event coverage.
Thanks for your reply. Where can I find your statement about the 2 US soldiers? I don't see it on your website.
thank you

Dear Sir/Madame,
We definitely abhor the torture of any and every human being, American or not, soldier or not. As such, we have made public statements condemning the torture of our 2 soldiers as we have made previous statements condemning torture by our soldiers in Abu-Ghraib. I hope you join us in condemning torture regardless of who perpetrates it and against whom.
