Empathy
Three detainees at GITMO hanged themselves on Saturday. Colleen Graffy, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy (that is, under Karen Hughes), told a BBC radio news programme yesterday that the suicides were
a good PR move to draw attention.(A Pentagon spokesman later dissociated himself from the phrase.)
That's what I call really putting yourself in the other person's shoes.
Those vile detainees will stop at nothing to achieve their unholy goal of getting a trial.
I've never seen people enjoying their own deaths so much.

A remark worthy of Ann Coulter -- eerily similar in fact to Coulter's much-quoted line. Maybe there's an RNC talking points directive: "Responses to Death, Ours and Theirs."
