“Hunter asks Reid to quit Senate post”
By Sean Lengell
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
April 28, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee has called for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to resign his leadership post for saying the U.S. has lost the war in Iraq.
“This unfortunate statement is both inaccurate and damaging ... [and] can have no effect but to demoralize the brave men and women who are honorably fulfilling their mission in Iraq,” said Rep. Duncan Hunter of California in a letter to Mr. Reid.
Mr. Hunter, an Army Ranger in the Vietnam War whose son, a Marine, is returning to Iraq for his third combat tour, wrote that his friendship with Mr. Reid is secondary to his obligation to the nation’s wartime military forces.
“In light of the fact that this statement has both been used by our adversaries and has exhibited a marked lack of leadership to U.S. troops, I call on you to resign your leadership position,” said Mr. Hunter, who is running for president.
Mr. Hunter added that Mr. Reid’s comments “will undoubtedly be used by terrorist leaders to rally their followers — inevitably leading to increased attacks on U.S. and coalition forces.”
A spokesman for Mr. Reid declined to respond directly about the letter. “

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Trenton, New Jersey (CNSNews.com) - Just days after New Jersey authorities announced the arrest of six men suspected of plotting a terror attack against a military base in the state, two state Democratic lawmakers are pushing a bill to abolish the state’s death penalty - even in the most serious cases of terrorism, murder and rape.
A state Senate panel was meeting Thursday to debate replacing the state’s death penalty with life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.”
