Lawrence: If you want to read about acid thrown in
faces, heads chopped off by the carload, limbs
removed, hands cut off and cast into gutters, eyes
gouged out, and women disemboweled by the
Islamists you defend . . .
Eric: Now stop it, Lawrence, or someone will start
talking about the Marines mistreating captured
al-Qaeda in Gitmo. After all, we are the bad guys.
And the reason we are the bad guys is that we are
losing the PR battle. And the reason we are losing
the PR battle is that it didn't immediately occur
to us that we had to fight one.
Now we're in a poker game nobody wants to play.
"I'll see your secret prisons, and raise you human
slave markets in Khartoum," you say. But everybody
folds.
