When will we wake up?
Reader comment on item: [Hasan Akbar and] Murder in the 101st Airborne
Submitted by R. Whiteley (United States), Mar 25, 2003 at 17:55
I couldn't agree more: it just shows that political correctness erases all reason in many instances in this country, a nation at war with militant Islam. It simply makes no sense. R.
