And I think these morons on the right are going to do a lot of damage to their image by going after a prisoner of war who was helped by the president, just because they want to try an find some new scandal to fabricate. You can't support our troops and do the insane things the republican party does. This is only going to prove just how stupid these jerks really are.

Even a triple-amputee combat-disabled veteran and Silver Star recipient can be a traitor in their eyes--if he's a Democrat.

Once they found out he was a "question everything" guy.

An atheist, opposed to the war in Iraq, for John Kerry for President, and a Noam Chomsky fan!

If the right wanted to use him for their propaganda, they would have made up a story about him and then repeated it over and over on fox until it became their reality.

This other young man was raised with a strong set of ethics and was told by his father to follow his conscience.

The profile of him that I read in Rolling Stone had me thinking that he is a sensitive dreamer type person whose disillusionment with the military may have cause him to go over the edge mentally.

But there was a contradiction in the article that bothered me too. Apparently the Taliban thought this guy was an important person. This statement led me to wonder if he wasn't just an enlisted guy who snapped and walked away?

Anyway, it's not for me to judge.
