Thats easy: Democrats ARE NOT dirtbags.

If I'd said that about Republicans, how would you have responded, Jim?
Kill file? I suspect so.

John, I was working on ISAR systems at the time of this event, working
with 20 and 30 year veterans who also knew this dead cold. I followed
the details of this carefully. I've also carefully read through
Captain Rogers III report of the circumstances, that also of his exec
officer, Commander Foster, and others.

The US acted without any decent excuse in this case. If you plan on
defending anything about it, I'll start listing out the details that
dispute your case. But the upshot is quite simply that this was a
terrible mistake and there is no excusing it.
