Tarek Fatah: Cheryl Bormann is an American useful idiot
OK, "useful idiot" describes most leftists these days (Tarek Fatah being one of the few exceptions) but Cheryl Bormann, a Gitmo [alleged] terrorist's lawyer, is a special case:
Cheryl Bormann: "... I wear the hijab out of respect for [my client's] culture and religious beliefs. ..." [And she thinks other women in the courtroom should too.]
Tarek Fatah: "That's like a lawyer for the defence at the Nuremburg trials suggesting that we all give the 'Heil Hitler' salute because the people on trial will get offended [if we don't] ..."
"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." -- C. S. Lewis
