The Right Thing To Do

Andy Sullivan's on his high horse about the Army's prosecution of Capt. James Yee, the chaplain falsely accused of mishandling classified documents while assigned to the prison camps at Guantanamo Bay. Sniffs Sully, upon hearing the news that authorities have dropped all charges against Yee, "[t]his story is a travesty of justice and fairness. And no one really seems to give a damn."

No one except thousands of Americans, including the types of left-wing bloggers Sully sneers at. Back in November 2003, a fifth-columnist blogger from a decadent coastal enclave took time out from hottubbing with Talibanofascists to criticize the right-wing hacks who prejudged Captain Yee's guilt in furtherance of their own agendas. Here's what that blogger said:

To be sure, these blowhards all inserted "allegedly" or the like somewhere in their columns, no doubt at the insistence of their syndicates' lawyers. But from their prose you know they were all well lubricated by the idea of a Muslim traitor in the U.S. Army.

These cretinous columnists have two things in common: (1) The source of their reports: The Moonie Times; [and] (2) You know they won't revisit Captain Yee's story any time soon.

Yes, the Moonie Times was behind the most scurrilous "reporting" of the charges against Captain Yee. If Sully wants people to give a damn about the mistreatment of Captain Yee, he has a perfect platform from which to correct the record: His Weekly Dish column in the Moonie Times.

Name some names, Sully -- starting with John Leo and Moonie Times columnists Gaffney, Charen and Malkin -- and detail your employer's disgraceful, foul and malicious role Captain Yee's persecution. It's right thing to do.
