    I object to the use of the term IED in your article. This device has caused thousands of deaths and maimed thousands of our our fighting men and women in Iraq and should not be used to make light of a situation. You could have even said "bomb" and I would not have the same strong reaction. There is a fine line between comedy and tragedy. In my opinion, you crossed it this time.

    The metaphor in this article seems unfair. It compares Rep. Waxman to military enemies of the U.S. merely because he demands accountability from the executive branch and its contractors.
