Missing the point, part...oh, never mind

Evidently, a group of legislators, having nothing more important to do like, say, get a budget passed, have decided that the best thing they can do is to hold hearings about why the operation to kill Osama Bin Laden was named "Geronimo," calling it "inappropriate" and "devastating."

Hopefully someone has the stones to point out to these rocket scientists (they certainly aren't historians) that the reason to name a search operation after Geronimo is that the great Apache evaded capture for no less than 28 years.  As such, the code name reflects respect for both Geronimo and Osama Bin Laden for their cleverness in escaping U.S. forces.

Somehow, I think that being told that U.S. soldiers even today remember the cleverness and heroism of Geronimo might be a good thing for young native americans, but what do I know?
