Great op-ed by Mike Baker at the always causes Liberals to seethe Fox News. One quick excerpt, and then check out the whole thing
But I digress. I would argue that what we’re seeing in the reporting of the KSM story is, stay with me now, exactly what makes this country great. The fact that we have a major terrorist in captivity, with evidence from a variety of sources confirming his involvement in countless deaths, and yet give up significant amounts of press time debating whether or not this man was mistreated is a sign of a healthy nation. It’s the very thing, along with the free marketplace, “Girls Gone Wild” and freedom of religion that drives the fundamentalist jihadists/islamofacists over the edge. Picture terrorists sipping coffee around the table in some Waziristan safehouse, clipping coupons and trying to make sense of the press coverage of KSM’s confession. It’s our very ability to have this debate that they cannot, and likely never will, understand.
Oh, and before the normal reality based community folks pitch a fit about it being at Fox, and "who the hell is Mike Baker"
Mike Baker served for more than 15 years as a covert field operations officer for the Central Intelligence Agency, specializing in counterterrorism, counternarcotics and counterinsurgency operations around the globe.
I guess he might well be worth listening to.
