About this Show
The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer is the command center for breaking news, politics and extraordinary reports from around the world. Tune in weeknights from 5-7pm ET on CNN.
Instead of highlighting the strident peppered comments of political ideologues or paper-mache lawyers or corporate $$$ or media machinations or over-indulged citizens; why not ask those closest to the fire if the flames are hot? Would any of those beheaded, car-bombed or executed firing-squad-style by ISIS or any other terrorist group request less stringent Intel gathering applications?
Why not ask the Mid-Eastern dads, moms and children who daily suffer hunger, thirst, exposure, homelessness, fear, rape, murder, etc. if less protection, to include Intel gathering techniques, is preferred to more? Idiot Westerners who stand afar and argue over plights never experienced may not be fully qualified to speak for the innocent or dead. Why cry over the very unpleasant discomfort of a few terrible internees while ignoring the painful, irreparable eradication of 100K's of non-combatants?
