The
terrorists won today.
That
was the message Wednesday from retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters when he
appeared on Fox News' "America's News Room."
"It's
a terrible morning. It's a bad morning for press freedom, for freedom
of information," he said. "It's bad because the terrorists
won. The terrorists won this morning."
Peters
fears publications will limit their own freedom because of this
attack.
...Peters
chastised other publications for not having the courage to publish
the cartoons of the prophet Muhammed like the French magazine did.
"It
was the bravest publication I know. There is not a single magazine in
the English-speaking world that had the guts, the courage, to take on
Islamist fanaticism and mock these fanatics the way Charlie Hebdo
is," he said.
"The
correct response to this attack, by all of us in journalism, we
pretend to be so brave, if we had guts," Peters said. "Those
cartoons would be reprinted on the front page of the New York Times,
the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times
tomorrow. They won't be."
Peters
also criticized the Western world as too weak to deal with radical
Islam and said our political correctness may lead to our destruction.
