THIS HASN'T GOTTEN ENOUGH COVERAGE

Ralph Peters, war whore & winger columnist for the NY Post, went on FAUX News and suggested that the Taliban could save us some time iF they killed our captured soldier. This was followed by denunciations from many others, even wingers. Even some Congressmen have complained about this to Roger Ailes. Nothing happened to the freakshow Kilmeade - will anything happen to Peters?

From the Congressmen's letter:
As members of Congress and veterans of the United States Armed Forces, it was with incredulity and disgust that we watched Fox News Strategic Analyst Lt. Colonel Ralph Peters (Ret.) suggest on your airwaves that Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl, "abandoned his buddies, abandoned his post, and just walked off," and stated that, if this is true, "the Taliban can save us a lot of legal hassles and legal bills."

We demand an apology to PFC Bergdahl's family and to the thousands of soldiers who put their lives on the line for our country. As a member of the military family, Mr. Peters should measure his remarks and remember that the United States will never abandon one of its own.

We look forward to your response.

In addition to 14 Democratic members, there were 8 Republicans, some of them well-known:
Duncan Hunter (R-CA)
Darrell Issa (R-CA)
