This was hard to write. I was fightin...Thank you. This was hard to write. I was fighting back tears through most of it, and I couldn't quite figure out why, but I think I have now: The man had integrity, courage, patriotism, honesty, humility, professionalism. He and his work were the embodiment of what we all -- myself included -- strive to be and do. And he's gone now, and moreover, he was taken from the world unjustly, and the people (mostly in government) charged to give a damn don't seem to, which expounds the injustice.<br /><br />I believe it's that horrible level of injustice that causes my heart and soul to grieve for a man I've never met, and why this whole thing makes the world seem <i>scarier</i> as well as darker.Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378629103793458871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511955047151145854.post-38752991110348092032014-08-21T20:50:01.799-07:002014-08-21T20:50:01.799-07:00Well said, bravely said.
His capture, imprisonmen...Well said, bravely said.<br /><br />His capture, imprisonment, last moments, horrific, dehumanizing death, the failed rescue attempt, allegations that it failed because the president dithered too long, the growing power of his captors, the lack of a coherent response... something is very much not right.
