Op-ed page today, comparing "Nightline" to "Doonesbury" (no mention of Sinclair in there though:

Trudeau does not support the Iraq war, and it is clear that he is attempting to engage the issue on an emotional level that is far more intense than intoning the names of soldiers killed in action. The ongoing suffering of a wounded soldier, even within the frame of a cartoon, carries a wallop.

Imagine if you lost a limb in the fight and believed in the cause. Would you want your ordeal used to further Trudeau's political views?
<snip>

A case can be made that Trudeau is attempting to sap the morale of Americans vis-à-vis Iraq by using a long-running, somewhat beloved cartoon character to create pathos. As an opinion cartoonist, Trudeau has a right to do this, but sometimes exercising a right can lead to a wrong.

Of course, a case can also be made that Trudeau simply wants to heighten awareness of what our soldiers are going through. If Trudeau had a history of independent thinking, I would be more inclined to give him the benefit of any doubt. But unlike "Nightline," Trudeau is a true believer of the liberal cause and a rabid anti-Bush partisan
