Sad to see Danzinger prop up the killing of civilians. There was no al-Qaida to speak of in Yemen until a drone strike in March 2009 killed fifteen women and children; now the anti-US forces control considerable territory.
I’ve followed Oliphant since the 80s (he once had an extremely funny bit about Americans playing poker and the Russians, chess, at the same board). It’s sad that he’s chosen to fall into the morally shameful position that certain people are not entitled to any form of due process.
Due to this radical change of heart, embracing the government’s clear flouting of the rule of law, I’ll never read one of his strips again. I used to tout him as astute satirical cartoonist; now he’s just a shill (and not a particularly astute shill at that).
And damn right I’ll call the ACLU, which has far more integrity than Oliphant and most Americans combined.
Another week of re-runs? This is at least a year old.
