Political Correctness Kills

Betsy is cruising the web, and one of the items she highlights is this one, which shouldn't surprise us at all:

"Political correctness kept the British from making a full investigation of the 7/7 bombings that led to 52 deaths. Authorities were worried that a full inquiry into analyzing what had led to the bombings might upset Muslims so instead they just published a 'narrow' inquiry into the events leading up to the bombings. Yes, better not to upset British Muslims than to try to understand what led the four bombers to kill so many British citizens so as to prevent any further occurrence. One imagines a similar discussion taking place in the Pentagon whitewash of the Fort Hood shootings that never once used the words Islam or Muslim or jihad. It's a reminder of how political correctness can lead to people's deaths."

When people's feelings are seen as more important than security, justice, and plain old-fashioned common sense, you know we're in trouble.
