The Gitmo Five’s Burn Notice Criminals usually kill people to get cash. Terrorists get money so they can kill people.
By Jonah Goldberg
‘Some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.”
That’s a line from the movie The Dark Knight. Maybe it’s because I’m just a comic-book-loving fool, but that’s the first thing that popped into my mind when I read the Gitmo Five’s statement.
“We are terrorists to the bone,” the Guantanamo detainees proclaimed. Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11, and his four comrades consider the charges that they slaughtered nearly 3,000 Americans to be “badges of honor, which we carry with pride.”
