DE GENOVA UPDATE: Congressman J.D. Hayworth wants him fired. But that’s silly. Instead of engaging in clumsy bill-of-attainderesque high-handedness, Hayworth would be better advised to craft legislation that would force schools like Columbia and Harvard to offer ROTC. That would do far more to make his point than legislative assaults on a pathetic anonymity like De Genova.

Meanwhile, Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down weighs in:

“There were literally a thousand or more Somalis killed in that battle to 18 American soldiers, and that small band of American troops accomplished their mission in Mogadishu that day,” Bowden said.

UPDATE: Daniel Drezner isn’t so sure I’m right that De Genova shouldn’t be fired.
