Thought that this was as good a place as any to bring this topic to y'all's attention.
Felt it may be of some interest.
It looks as if only the anti-American anti-war crowd
have mentioned it so far.
His rights to freedom of speech have already been
used against those that fight with honor and valor,
to preserve his right to spew his bull [and others of his ilk]
in the first damn place.

[quote] Raed Jarrar's Story - An outrageous incident at JFK
http://www.parkerstudio.com/AAW/JFK_story.html
One of the two men who approached me first, Inspector Harris,
asked for my id card and boarding pass. I gave him my boarding
pass and driver's license. He said "people are feeling offended
because of your t-shirt". I looked at my t-shirt: I was wearing
my shirt which states in both Arabic and English "we will not be silent".
You can take a look at it in this picture taken during our Jordan meetings
with Iraqi MPs. I said "I am very sorry if I offended anyone, I didnt know
that this t-shirt will be offensive". [end quote]

Dennis Prager, writing in JWR, has a fine article that defines the difference between US and THEM. Although he does not mention Rumsfeld's recent and *controversial* speech to the American Legion, he dispels with apt examples  the kind of moral confusion that the Secretary was talking about.

Please do yourself a favor and go read it.  The Ramirez cartoon at the top is worth the trip all by itself.
