But of course, any morally reasonable person realizes that Tandey didn’t happen upon Hitler

But of course, any morally reasonable person realizes that Tandey didn’t happen upon Hitler™, the genocidal

maniac of two decades later; he came across an anonymous, wounded young man. If Tandey was supposed to kill him

on the basis of what he would become later, then whom should Tandey have spared? Whom will the adherents of

this monstrous doctrine of unlimited preemption spare?

Since the shooting in the Mosque, I’ve been haunted that I have not been able to tell you directly what I saw

or explain the process by which the world came to see it as well. As you know, I’m not some mbt sport zone

tourist with a camera who doesn’t understand that ugly things happen in combat. I’ve spent most of the last

five years covering global conflict. But I have never in my career been a ‘gotcha’ reporter — hoping for

people to commit wrongdoings so I can catch them at it.

This week I’ve even been shocked to see myself painted as some kind of anti-mbt sport activist. Anyone who has

seen my reporting on television or has read the dispatches on this website is fully ambt sporte of the lengths

I’ve gone to play it straight down the middle — not to become a tool of propaganda for the left or the right.
