AT BLOGCRITICS, a look at Haditha, the laws of war, and terrorists.

UPDATE: Reader Peter Ingemi was somewhat upset that some people on the left construed an email of his as calling for civil war against antiwar folks. It’s updated here, along with an email from a reader on the left calling for civil war against people on the right. Or something like that.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Peter Ingemi sends a followup email:

I’ve been doing a little surfing today and for the fun of it did a Technorati search of me. It is a new experience to be villified all over the internet by a bunch of people who I’ve never met and am unlikely to.

I was about to start answering some of the nonsense when the Sicilian in me kicked in. It is a waste of time effort and pixels and the responses and counter responses would eat up time I would be spending actually having a life and like I’ve said before Sicilians are used to being thought of poorly. It is almost like reading newspapers from the old south pre 1860, there is a mindset so entrenched that nothing is going to change it and what’s worse it gets reinforced over and over again. It’s almost a cult. I’ve only seen this for an hour, you must get it every day by the bagful.

How do you put up with it?

Practice. Plus, like Jeff Goldstein, I crap bigger than them. Much bigger. . . .
