They Hate Us for Our Freedom
We've all heard the neocon mantra a thousand times: The terrorists hate us for our freedom.
We've also all heard the sensible response to this: They hate us for our policies.
Now a federal advisory committee called the Defense Science Board has issued a report that says--drum roll please--"Muslims do not hate our freedom, but rather they hate our policies."
Tom Regan has a nice roundup of media coverage of the report and some interesting details about the report itself and who composed it.
