Air America was going berserk over this tidbit this morning.

I have to say that I agree with the Secretary. We want to say that these are non-lethal weapons -- but we're afraid to use them on our own people because someone might die?

We should have enough courage to:

1) Use lethal methods in all appropriate situations
2) Call lethal methods what they are -- lethal methods
3) Use non-lethal methods in all appropriate situations
4) Use the term "non-lethal" only if we're convinced that they are.

"Use the term "non-lethal" only if we're convinced that they are."

Yeah..I think the disclaimer is "less-lethal".
