The title of this post was taken from a Klingon warrior code (of Star Trek fame).
In this case, enemies include collaborators.
Al-Jazeera is launching it's English-edition news channel in 2006. As reported in the media, a United States Marine who served in Iraq as a press officer during the 2003 invasion of Iraq resigned from the Marines and decided to take his argument with Washington up to the international level.
He did so by joining Al-Jazeera.
They do tabloid news and have no compunction about lying to inflame the Muslim world. Their is among the most rabid anti-U.S. voices coming from the Middle East.
Their reason for doing so is obvious: they are the official press agency of al-Qaeda. By extension, that would make our renegade Marine the press secretary of al-Qaeda.
Yes, it's a free country and he can do as he will.
But this leads one to wonder if he's thinking about his friends who are still in Iraq while he's badmouthing them on Al-Jazeera, the official press agency of al-Qaeda, our mortal enemies.
We don't need resident Tokyo Roses in the U.S. He ought to do the honorable thing and back out of working for the enemy.
