On talk radio yesterday the talk was all about the beheading of an American. Sean Hannity linked to the video and wanted to know, Why won't the elite media show this? Where are the Muslim clerics apologizing for this? The Democrats are politicizing American abuses, but where's the outrage over this? Michael Reagan asked the same questions.

I really must live on another planet. This line of thinking makes absolutely no sense to me. People whom we don't know, over whom we have no authority, and against whom we are waging war, commit an act of ruthless brutality. Therefore ... what? It's OK to brutalize unrelated Iraqis? We should lower our standards to theirs? We should enlist them in the military so we can court martial them? What's a little rape when you've got beheadings going on? Somebody help me out here.
