Language Arts 101, by Mr. Jaspan — 7 Comments

  1. Hi #NAME#. Just found your site via laptop. Although I was looking for laptop I was glad i came upon your site. Thanks for the read!

  2. Unless I misread your post — which I’m entirely capable of doing — it seems to me Mr. Jaspan was saying that, because Wood was fed, he wasn’t maltreated. So, if I get this correctly, it is maltreatment if the US detains warriors, feeds them well, houses them with a modicum of comfort, treats their religious books better than we treat our own, and (yes, this is war) messes with them somewhat to get information that may benefit national security. However, it is not mistreatment if warriors kidnap a civilian, tie him to a bed, slaughter people around him, threaten him with guns to his head, etc., because they fed him. Am I right about this? I’m perfectly willing to hold America to higher standards, but this is ridiculous.

  3. Thanks, Pancho. I don’t know how I’d managed to avoid having heard of Mr. Jaspan before, but now I’ll have to start paying attention.

    And careful, meander. I don’t want any lawsuits :-)!

  4. For more on Mr. Jaspan journey over to the Australian Blogs of Tim Blair or better yet my friend Professor Bunyip where the little Scottish prig of an editor is roasted quite often and with much relish.

  5. One of these days my head is going to fall off from vigorishly shaking it in either agreement with your point or dismay at the ridulousness of some of those you bring to our attention.
