Offered without comment

Letter to the Editor, Denver Post, 6/26/06:

Why have those who have continually howled at our treatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo met the recent kidnapping and sadistic and brutal murders of our two young soldiers with deafening silence? Where is your outrage now? Not only should we behead 100 prisoners in retaliation (complete with Web-posted snuff videos), but also the editors, commentators, college professors and left-wing congressmen who would suddenly break their silence to come out in support of these enemy jihadists. We need to stop listening to these sanctimonious hypocrites who apply the rules of war only to our side. Let us untie the hands of our troops and allow them to fight and win.

Dave Petteys, Littleton

Uh, yeah. There is a not-inconsiderable number of Americans who have forfeited all thought, rationality and grasp of what it means to be American. I suspect 'twas ever thus, but these days they have computers, y'know?
