When it comes soldiers captured in the Middle East, for Monty Python alumnus Terry Jones, some POWs are more equal than others.
While I remain a tremendous fan of the Pythons' early 1970s output, Jones' heads-is-tails priorities are a reminder of how ossified so much of the thinking among Britain’s leftwing elites has been for an exceedingly long time. And that Punitive Liberalism is definitely not exclusive to the US.
(And some thoughts on how that sort of cognitive dissonance pervades the BBC from top to bottom, don't miss the latest Blog Week In Review podcast.)

Update: "SeeDubya" reminds us that Jones isn't the only Python member to have lost it after 9/11.
