Petiton: Defining the Jihadist Enemy

A petition worth signing, for whatever its worth:

To: U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence

The American people condemn the May 8, 2008 decision by the majority of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in rejecting Congressman Peter Hoekstra's amendment to the 2009 Intelligence Authorization Act (H.R. 5959), which was intended to "prohibit the intelligence community from adopting speech codes that encumber accurately describing the radical jihadist terrorists that attacked America and continue to threaten the homeland."

Moreover, the American people call for those members of the Committee who opposed this amendment to publicly account for and explain their vote.

Sincerely,

It's a pity the petition doesn't include something more inclusive along the lines of "the American people(*)..."

(* and others in the global community who recognize America as a friend and ally and, as such, have a stake in America's continued security and survival)
