Paul Johnson Jr., R.I.P.
First, I offer my prayers for the soul of Mr. Johnson and for his family. Like so many other victims of the Islamofascist terrorists, his only offense was being an American. May God receive him in heaven.
Second, anybody who sees moral equivalence between what happened to Paul Johnson and what happened to a handful of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib should be tarred, feathered and pilloried. Not to excuse the maltreatment of prisoners, but there's an obvious difference between humiliation and beheading. Those who can't see it are sick, and should be shunned by all civilized people as being morally no better than those who murdered Johnson.
