22. Here's another comment from there:
"I think shooting your own fellow soldiers does more to hurt morale than investigating how it happened. I hope they get to the bottom of this"

I LOATHE much of what I see there, and usually refer to it as "Freak Republic". But to totally demonize them as is frequently done here, is counterproductive. Not only that, but it could be very harmful to our own own thinking process ... ie: "blind" us. We're looking at the greatest ever threat, not just to our nation, but to the entire world. This isn't a matter of "ideology" (I think of myself as a Chomsky-socialist), but SURVIVAL. think of that SC Congressman Jones (of "Freedom Fries" fame) and others. Think of John Murtha, who was considered a rabid war-hawk just a year ago.
