Commission Imaginings

What is it about those Middle Eastern men on our planes? Plus: No selective outrage. Saturday night specials. St. Helen Thomas. A convention schedule. And much more.

(Page 4 of 15)

John (please withhold my last name, I'm not liberal enough to put my family at risk) br> Somewhere in Illinois /p> p> This is another example of George Neumayr's extraordinary insights --concerning matters that seem obvious, but only after he has limned them. Imagine a World War II movie in which Errol Flynn, Ronald Reagan, Arthur Kennedy and Gig Young are parachuted into Germany and they begin blowing up bridges and buildings, while traveling German roads in their U.S. uniforms and staying in public hotels and speaking English. The Germans they encounter are too polite to ask them what they're doing. Audiences would, probably correctly, have assumed the film was a comedy or fantasy. Really evil people aren't foolish enough to imperil their schemes by observance of such political correctness. On the other hand, it is quite likely that other really evil people, both inside and outside our country, are capable of imposing such a system of political correctness on our citizens, for their own purposes of our eventual subjugation. I fear so and too many of us are willing dupes. br> -- J.R. Wheatley br> Harper Woods, Michigan /p> p> I worked for the government for over 35 years, as a subordinate and later a supervisor; and I have to say this criticism for a "failure of imagination" is nothing more than a sick joke. It doesn't reach even the level of dark humor. Your assessment of the Dulles guard's situation hit the nail right on the head. br> -- Gordon Paravano br> Sedona, Arizona /p>

Finally, somebody that says it like it is, concerning the 9/11 commission.
