101st Fighting Keyboardists Eager to Deploy

You'd think that people would be happy for those two Fox News journalists who were released by their Gaza kidnappers after being forced to convert to Islam. David Warren of Real Clear Politics and Kathleen Parker of Town Hall both imagine themselves in that position and conclude, smugly, that they would have died for their faith rather than converting. As Warren says:

And the two Fox journalists, whom I will not stoop to name, begged for their lives even though, in retrospect, their lives probably weren't in danger. . . . Men without chests, men without character, men who don't think twice.

That's easy for him to say, without a gun pointed at his head. The biggest danger Warren probably faces is the possibility of tripping on a box of Star Wars action figures on the way to the donuts in the kitchen. And if you threatened to take away Kathleen Parker's nearest Starbucks she'd probably convert faster than you could say 'Kathleen Parker is a tremendous hypocrite.'
