Death before Dishonor...

The bizarre war that is Operation Iraqi Freedom claimed another victim. Last June, Col. Ted Westhusing took his own life. Col. Westhusing was an Army ethics experts, a full professor at Westpoint, knew Greek and Italian, had a PhD in Philosophy. This is all from an amazing article in the LA Times.

In his suicide note:

"I cannot support a msn [mission] that leads to corruption, human rights abuse and liars. I am sullied," it says. "I came to serve honorably and feel dishonored.

"Death before being dishonored any more."

"Westhusing's body was flown back to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. Waiting to receive it were his family and a close friend from West Point, a lieutenant colonel.

In the military report, the unidentified colonel told investigators that he had turned to Michelle, Westhusing's wife, and asked what happened.

She answered:

"Iraq."

One more death for what?

Stay Naked.
