Whose Side Are They On?

Fascinating.

Leonard Clark, a soldier blogging from Iraq, apparently provides details on troop movements and counter-insurgency tactics, is demoted and told to knock it off by the military, and the far-left kookity-kooks call it fascist censorship.

If the allegations are true, then this "loyal patriot" with a habit of making unsuccessful runs for public office put himself and other troops in danger, potentially provided valuable information to the enemy (al Qaeda loves them some internet, you see), and fulfilled, with amazing skill, the definition of "useful idiot."

I never really took seriously the line about "not just against the war, but on the other side" that was tossed around so carelessly by many on the right side of the aisle, but damn if some of you far lefties don't seem to fit the bill. I figure some of you might buy the man a can of red paint to put targets on our men and women in Iraq.

If you're against the war, so be it. Protest. Vote. Donate to your cause. But to knowingly support an effort to bring defeat to our troops? To think you're some great progressive if you can help bring another casket home draped in our flag?

Screw you and everyone like you.

On the other hand, Osama bin Laden tells some jokes over there too.
