TED OLSON IS CORRECT

His wife, Barbara, was killed in the plane that hit the Pentagon, so his opinion has a bit more weight than some freakshow from Canada. From MSNBC:

Q: how do you feel about this mosque that has been designated for within some blocks of lower manhattan of ground zero .

A: it may not make me popular with some people but i think probably the president is right about this. i believe people of all religions have a right to build structures or places of religious worship or study where the community allows them to do it under zoning laws and that sort of thing and that we don't want to turn an act of hate against us by extremists into an act of intolerance for people of religious faith . and i don't think it should be a political issue. it should not be a democrat or republican issue. i believe governor christie from new jersey said it as well. that should not be in the political partisan marketplace.
