The New York Times reports that the recently freed Japanese hostages have returned to Japan in disgrace for "causing trouble" by attempting to set up charities and report the news from Iraq. Apparently, the hostages' return to their homeland, which would have been celebrated with a hero's welcome in this country, was greeted with such hostility that it is worse than being taken hostage in the first place. Condemnations of courage are not limited to Japan, however; Andrew Sullivan points out that the University of Massachusetts' Daily Collegian has run an op-ed piece stating that Pat Tillman deserved to die for serving in Afghanistan.
