Cobb

There's something very wrong with your last sentence, to the extent I'm trying to guess at what you mean. Do you consider JPO to be undeniably a good guy?

It seems to me that, in the end, he's definitely a good guy - he lost his life trying to save others. But I haven't read the book, which I understand also discloses controversial aspects of his personal life (e.g., having a wife and three girlfriends).

How's the book?

I'm referring to the folks who are just using these hearings as a partisan excuse to move the goalposts regarding Bush. People are practically blaming him for not being psychic and looking for any small clue that would suggest that all danger could be averted.

What I'm hearing are suggestions that Bush was impeachably negligent. That there were people running around with 'their hair on fire'. At any rate, I am making fun of people who are a bit to dainty and squeamish, and I think that when you look at the kind of characters it takes to fight terrorism mano a mano, they don't all resemble Kevin Costner.

JPO strikes me, so far, as the kind of person one would consider politically incorrect, and thusly as the kind of individual dainty folks, and specifically pacifists on the Iraqi question, would not consider appropriate saviors.

I'm a big fan of Dick Marcinko and tend to be a bit gruff here. So far JPO appears to be my kind of guy, which wouldn't make him particularly friendly to dainty folk. I could be wrong...
