Andrew Sullivan makes a good point. It seems the military has fired at least 55 arab language specialists. Why? Because they're gay. Isn't that moronic? He asks: "Does president Bush care more about winning this war and protecting Americans than pandering to a bigoted anti-gay base?"
He also points to this excellent New York Times article about the differences between the US anti-terrorist efforts and MI5's. He pointed out that MI5 had a far larger number of foreign language speakers but there are many other interesting bits in the article.
