Thomas Friedman: Idiot Again
Posted By Russ Emerson on September 30, 2007 at 1:29 pm
Via Stop the ACLU, we find that Thomas Friedman today writes in the New York Times:
You may think Guantánamo Bay is a prison camp in Cuba for Al Qaeda terrorists. A lot of the world thinks it’s a place we send visitors who don’t give the right answers at immigration.
Well now, Tom, whose fault might it be that “a lot of the world” thinks this is the truth about Gitmo? Might it perhaps be due to the slanted reportage of your own paper and it’s anti-American fellow travellers?
Doing your utmost to convince the world we’re eeeeee-vil and then afterwards complaining that they think so calls to mind the story of the convicted parricide who pleads to the judge for leniency because he is an orphan.
My original assessment of Friedman stands.
