What If The Iranians Did It?   [Rich Lowry]

Yesterday's Washington Post ran a story about Army Captain Brian Freeman who was killed in that Karbala raid. It's a heart-breaking story. Dodd and Kerry say his loss has radicalized them against the war. There's this line in the piece: “It was not just Freeman's death that deeply troubled and provoked the two senators, but the way he died, in an apparent betrayal by Iraqi allies.” Now it turns out that Freeman may have been killed by attackers trained and paid for by the Iranians. So, I'm wondering if “the way” Freeman was killed still matters to the senators? Will his death radicalize them against Iran? Or will they mumble something and return right back to their same old anti-war talking points?
