McCain Campaign Hits Obama on Terrorism Comments

McCain campaign foreign policy advisor Randy Scheunemann put out this statement:

"Barack Obama's belief that we should treat terrorists as nothing more than common criminals demonstrates a stunning and alarming misunderstanding of the threat we face from radical Islamic extremism. Obama holds up the prosecution of the terrorists who bombed the World Trade Center in 1993 as a model for his administration, when in fact this failed approach of treating terrorism simply as a matter of law enforcement rather than a clear and present danger to the United States contributed to the tragedy of September 11th. This is change that will take us back to the failed policies of the past and every American should find this mindset troubling."

There are a lot of silly issues that arise in the campaign, but this is a debate that needs to be had.
