A great column and interview by Connie Schultz here.
"I hope people forgive me for what I have to say," he began. "I just don't care anymore."
He listed who he blamed for Augie's death.
"I hold the Bush administration responsible, from the president through the secretaries of state and defense and all those who have had a hand in starting this war.
"I also hold every Democrat in Congress who voted to authorize this misadventure as accomplices."
His son, he wrote, "died doing his duty. So have some 1,800 other Americans.
"Augie did his duty at every turn, from being an emergency medical technician while still in high school, a lifeguard, a Boy Scout, an active church member, and, of course, as a Marine. For all this, we consider him a hero.
"To honor him, I no longer can sit still, just keeping quiet and being politically correct."
