That's outrageous. Once again, a brainless idiot who thinks that fighting terrorism demands abandoning all principles. And lo and behold, Hohmann immediately shows solidarity with him - because they're both just poor victims. Oh, those poor misunderstood worms. Funny only that these poor misunderstood souls always spout such intellectual garbage.
And no, I am absolutely not of the opinion that one should fight terror with terror (because torture is nothing else). Whoever advocates that - fighting terror with torture - deserves to find themselves in a corresponding situation as a suspect. Then they won't talk such bullshit anymore...
Therefore: such a historian who has learned so little from what he researches deserves to be fired. As a professor, someone so stupid and resistant to learning is unacceptable.
