Dang, we shouldn't have done that

Charles Krauthammer, speaking on Special Report with Brit Hume today July 21, mentioned at 6:45 EDT that the U.S. needs (among other things) mor spies and translators on the ground to fight the "war on terror".
Comment: It was the perfect opportunity to segue into the damage caused this country by the spiteful outing of Valerie Plame and by the misguided policy against gays in the military, but apparently he didn't think to make or mention those connections. What Fox viewers don't know won't anger them.
(At least 9 linguists/translators, 6 of them fluent in Arabic, have been discharged in the last 2 years because they are gay. Read more here. )
