Rantings of a Sandmonkey: Taliban at Yale

So, wait, John Walker Lindh gets the pokie for 20 years, and this guy gets to stay at Yale (Thanks Candace)? How does this work again?

Don't bother trying to explain to the academic 'Left'* how intellectual curiosity - among so many other things - is destroyed by the bearded cavemen. Supporting the Taliban and Saddam, or any anti-American dictator, is part of 'progressive' thought these days.

*Fascists basically, and I try to avoid hyperbole.

From what I learned about the guy from that article, I seriously doubt he'll go back to Afghanistan with his new education to rejoin the Taliban.

chip: Bush used a false choice, quit repeating it.
