In the War on Terror, there is no place to run from here

Tom Toles’ ‘Let’s Roll’ cartoon in the Washington Post is offensive

by @ 6:56 am on August 9, 2007. Filed under 9/11

This cartoon appeared yesterday, in the Washington Post (click to enlarge):

Tom Toles cartoon in the Washington Post on August 8, 2007

I emailed the Washington Post this note:

Having lost family on 9/11, my gut reaction is to say to the editors at the Washington Post that you could have and should [have] exercised your right to not speak is such an offensive manner. But then I remember the Washington Post did not publish the Danish cartoons of the prophet Mohammed.

I was right the first time; while the editors are always gutless, they are only selectively offensive.

So far, no reply.

You can email the Washington Post, as well, yet please, do not SPAM them as you share your thoughts with them.

    If I was a member of CAIR and complained about the cartoon above since it seems to be celebrating the unity of Americans to overcome the murderous plot of a group of proven murders, I could demand the man be fired.

    But since I am a member of the group that would be a victim in such a case, I cannot.

    Despicable. Apologies are owed the 9/11 families.

    Airline delays are certainly inconvenient and annoying, but I don’t see how any rational person could think they compare to 9/11. Publishing this cartoon showed very bad judgement on the part of the Washington Post.
