This is a new category here on the site. It reflects something that I'm personally passionate about. It's focused on the aftermath of September 11, 2001 and the war on terror. I think we need to fight and win the war on terror. So from time to time I'll highlight issues related to it.
First off, we can't forget that this battle has been going on for a lot longer than four and a half years. It goes back more than 20 years. Back in 1985 terrorists hijacked an airplane. They singled out a young Navy SEAL named Robert Stethem because he was American. He was shot and his body was tossed out of the plane onto the tarmac.
Robert Stethem's killer spent time in a German prison until recently when he was released as part of a negotiation to release a German prisoner held by Muslim terrorists. Now safe and sound in Lebanon, an old school terrorist is once again free to hunt and kill Americans.
Michael Yon provides more details on the situation here.
