JP, we are in total agreement. Many liberals are chock full of self-righteousness, and will latch on to any scrap of questionable information that furthers their cause. And to blindly forge ahead, ignoring the sources, veracity, and act in ways that put others at risk is reprehensible.
My point is that it cuts both ways. Take what I said above, and take out "liberal" and put in "Cheney/Bush". Instead of the Hanoi Jane/Vietnam scenario, instead consider intel leading up to the Iraq invasion.
To quote you, should we also seriously ponder the possibility that going into Iraq was an "act of self-righteous masturbation"?
I don't want to turn this into the usual Bush-bash, but rather offer that it is important for intelligent people to question ALL angles of the issues, and carefully consider ALL of the possible motives of the players.
