Justice Stevens Weeps for Architect of Pearl Harbor
This should give you an idea of the profound derangement of some of the moonbats who have infiltrated the Supreme Court. John Paul Stevens laments that during WWII, we shot down the poor Japanese Admiral who planned the Pearl Harbor attack, without "humanitarian consideration":
[Stevens] won a bronze star for his service as a cryptographer, after he helped break the code that informed American officials that Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, the commander of the Japanese Navy and architect of the Pearl Harbor attack, was about to travel to the front. Based on the code-breaking of Stevens and others, U.S. pilots, on Roosevelt's orders, shot down Yamamoto's plane in April 1943.
Stevens told me he was troubled by the fact that Yamamoto, a highly intelligent officer who had lived in the United States and become friends with American officers, was shot down with so little apparent deliberation or humanitarian consideration.
Having senile fools who will reflexively side with the enemy in positions of supreme authority doesn't help much when it comes to fighting back against the Islamic terror war being waged against us. Fortunately, this useless coot is going to retire soon. Unfortunately, if Shrillary takes the White House, he will be replaced by someone just as crazy and malignant, but younger.

The sympathy of leftists toward America's enemies goes back a long time, and reaches up very high.

Was he troubled by the fact that Japanese fighter planes rained bombs down on Pearl Harbor, killing and wounding thousands of our military personnel with quite a bit of apparent deliberation and no humanitarian consideration?

He probably saw the crummy "Dragnet" movie where Akroyd flew up to a bad guy's plane in a fighter with police lights flashing, holding up his badge, ordering the crook to "pull over" and said "we should have done that to Yamamoto!"

"... deliberation or humanitarian consideration."
This is why Osama lives.

Stevens has all the intellectual depth of a Wal-Mart bird bath. There's not been a bigger idiot on the Court in recent memory.

Hell, I'd have volunteered to do the same thing to Ahmedinejad when his plane left New York a couple of weeks ago.
I guess Judge Stevens and I are just very different people.

It seems Justice Stevens forgets that war itself is immoral. While its true that Yammomoto was a highly intelligent man who probably had more than the average amount of sympathy for America, he still planned and carried out the attack on Pearl Harbor.
While I think comparisons to Osama are a tad unfair, its also unfair for Stevens to make some lame comment about humanitarianism. Yammomoto knew the score and knew he could be killed. Being a general/admiral is not insulation from being targeted by the oppositions military forces. At least he was not hiding in a cave nor did was his famed attack on almost purely civilian targets as Osama was (since neither the Pentagon nor the White House can be considered as such).
War is ugly and war is brutal. Thats why its war. Perhaps Justice Stevens forgot that fact.
