Yet another attempt to take my simple expository writing and turn it
into something I did not says. What I said was that from the point of
view of the victim, the result was the same...death. We have a long
history in THIS country ov violently killing people we don't like, and
that is true from the federal government on down to lynching parties. In
fact, a few years ago, some asswipe governor of Texas was making jokes
about the last pleading moments of a woman he allowed to be executed.


You can make any effort you want to explain away what you put in print.
Nothing changes, for any of you. By your words and by your silence the truth
becomes known. The mist dissolves and the face becomes clear. You, Doug,
asskisser, et al -- show more concern for discommoded terrorists than for a
fellow citizen being hacked to death merely for effect.


John, you are dealing with some folks who unashamedly hope for atrocities that
will reflect badly on the administration. In their eyes, the prisoner abuse was
a 'very bad' thing because it reflected negatively on the administration.
Therefore they are happy it occurred. The beheading of Berg reflects badly on Al
Quaeda, but not the administration. Therefore it is not nearly 'bad' enough for
them to be happy about.

Both acts were bad. But the beheading of an innocent person is much more severe
and atrocious then the stripping, posing, and photographing of prisoners. Of
course, Ted Kennedy and Harry will disagree, but who gives a rat's a$$.
