I’ve had an unusually high quota of hate mail the past few days, and I understand Andy has too. I want to stress to all NRO readers that Andy McCarthy has extraordinary credentials when it comes to terrorism. Lots of people talk about it, but he has been in the pit with them, and defeated them. I always remind myself of that when we air our little disagreements, which are just that: little. There is not a single major issue on which we disagree. Sometimes, especially in these blogs when we don’t take the time to reread and rethink what we have said, things seem more dramatic than they are. We have a small Andy McCarthy shrine in our house, and always will. Everybody should. It doesn’t get any better than Andy.
