Not forgotten, just don’t care

Salim Hamdan, a convicted war criminal is now the poster boy for all that is wrong with this country. The long time driver and part time bodyguard to Osama bin Laden was sentenced to 5 ½ years last Thursday and since he has been detained for 5 he is eligible to be released before the next person occupies the White House.

How sad are we that a man who is one of the inside guys to the world’s number one terrorist, a person who was captured with two shoulder launched missiles in his backseat took on a war crimes court—even as the war still wages and brought us to our knees? Hamden said he didn’t know what bin Laden did and was sorry about the September 11^th attacks. If this is the case, why did the interrogator who worked on him share the contents of a tape where Hamden showed “remarkable enthusiasm” when discussing him? 3,000 people were murdered on our soil and we said we would never forget. That was 7 years ago. Ah, how times have changed because though we haven’t forgotten—we have decided not to care.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: The Olympics kick off tonight and Ankarlo will be watching the opening ceremonies, but he won’t buy all their propaganda. Also, Ankarlo can’t believe Osama Bin Laden’s driver, Salim Hamdan is only going to serve another six months in jail. He could be released before inauguration day. He was Bin Laden’s driver.

Diane has a new cream that will help reduce saggage. Ankarlo wants to know more. And finally, Ankarlo wonders why the national news lead with a story about an assassination threat against Barack Obama. Oh, he also threatened to kill President Bush too. Ankarlo says that should be the lead, not Obama.
