A fantastic post from Varifrank on the differences in terrorism between 2001 and now. He sums it up with this:

I could say more but Cavalier X pretty much sums it up for me. Make sure to read the whole thing.

Dems just keep stepping in it

Rangel has compared Iraq to the Holocaust. Kennedy has compared the Abu Ghraib incidents with the slaughter of hundreds of thousands under the rule of Saddam Hussein. Amnesty International said Guatanamo Bay is a modern day gulag. Now, there’s Senator Dick Durbin (emphasis added by me – link opens as a PDF [...]
