We cannot see the burkas for the trees
-Mychal Massie


The main threat to America's security is the willful ignorance of many in leadership complicit with those whose predecessors actually reported the news, juxtaposed to those manipulating and spinning same. You may think that's harsh or untrue – but factually, it is neither. Leadership and those responsible for public information have either bought into or been brainwashed into a political correctness that is helpful only to those who wish us ill.

"Political correctness," I once wrote, "obscures clear thinking and does damage to the very people and causes that it claims to benefit. ... besides being pretentious and dishonest, PCers give no thought to the collateral damage they cause, because the only agenda is theirs" ("Politically correct may not be correct"; The Reporter; Jan. 3, 2002).

In October 2002, I wrote: "One of the things we should have learned from the Feb. 26, 1993, bombing of New York's World Trade Center is that there are people in the world who hate our collective guts – sex, color, creed notwithstanding. [And] one of the things we should have learned from Timothy McVeigh is that there are Americans, born here and living here, who are as passionate in their hatred of America as those living continents away" ("Terror at home grows among us"; The Reporter; Oct. 31, 2002).

Nidal Malik Hasan proves that America continues to be a nation under attack, as she has been since 1993. But those responsible for our national security cannot see the burkas for the trees because of political correctness.
