Rep. George Nethercutt (R-WA)

[Keirsey]

Not a slip-up

I notice that you recently chose to run an op-ed piece by Rep. George Nethercutt (“U.S. troops overseas mustn’t be restricted by ICC,” Aug. 2), who is now running for office in Washington State.

It is worth noting that on July 29, 2003, Nethercutt said this while speaking at the University of Washington: “The story of what we’ve done in the postwar period is remarkable. It is a better and more important story than losing a couple of soldiers every day.”

That was no verbal slip-up. His statement says much about the character of this man … and even more about his lack of respect for the sacrifice of the American soldier.

And we need to keep bringing up that lovely quote of his, which he claimed was "taken out of context" by Neil Modie of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.:eyes:

Of course, there's always the "term limits" issue as well.
