Give Thanks Where Thanks Is Due

Earlier today 2 Canadian and 1 British hostage were released from their captivity by a joint team of British, American, and Canadian soldiers. These men risked their lives to rescue these three who shouldn't have been in Iraq in the first place.

From the get go it was clear that their friends and colleagues back home were completely ungrateful for what occurred and in fact, tried to spin it that their captors released them. Michelle Malkin covers this well here and here.

There's a time & a place to express one's political views but common decency dictates certain norms of behaviour, especially in life-threatening situations.
