Retired Army Lt. Col. Allen West, a Republican candidate for Congress in Florida, refused to be interviewed by Al Jazeera's English-language channel about Afghanistan after a "recent interview request lead him to suspect he was a target for kidnapping."

Congress really doesn't need another kook who thinks that eceryone from the Middle East is a terrorist, especially those folks who work for Al Jazeera. What's West going to do when Al Jazeera report from the Republican Conveniton?!

Seriously, this sounds like an extreme case of PTSD and he is obviously unfit to serve in Congress.........
