HOW IS THE ANTI-WAR LEFT BEING SUPPRESSED? Debra Saunders interviews a “not in our name” signer and reports on talk of antiwar folks being “necklaced.” Well, it’s necklacing except for, you know, the part about being burned to death by flaming tires. Her conclusion:

The Not in Our Name Web site carries another statement that protests America’s “destruction of civil, legal and political rights, including the very right to dissent.”

Destruction of dissent? In Afghanistan, that meant the Taliban shot critics in the back of the head. In America, that means appearing on cable TV news in a panel stacked against you, 3 to 1. . . .

By the Not-names’ definition, it’s suppression if someone (a liberal) feels uncomfortable or fears criticism about expressing an opinion.

This seems on-target to me.
