Oregonian,

Expect to take some heat when your defending the troops that have given us an Iraqi My Lai. As more news organizations investigate and reveal more about this, it is getting uglier, not better.


Don't give up your duties as a citizen to question what it is your armed forces are doing. If the matter had not been pressed it would have stayed convienently buried. Sen Murtha took some heat for keeping the pressure up on the Pentagon.

When I cease being indignant at those who would in the smallest way facilitate such evil; by excusing it as a normal part of war, by excusing it because you don't want to hurt morale, by excusing it because you thought the army would do a fine job investigating itself, by excusing it because you just don't want to believe it happened so therefore it didn't, then I wouldn't be a very good liberal would I?

Consider this, just as Muslims should have been universally horrified at the atrocities committed on 9/11 in the name of protecting Islam (and they were not), we should be universally horrified at the crimes committed in the name of protecting America.

I'm leaving the chip right where it is.
