Army Apologizes for Describing Famed Pro-life Organization as ‘Terrorists’

The Army, caught describing pro-life members of the famed pro-life Operation Rescue organization and others as “terrorists,” already had admitted it was wrong to do that.

Now it is apologizing.

OR announced, “The Secretary of the Army Dan Driscol has issued a formal apology to Operation Rescue for mischaracterizing the pro-life organization as a terror group during a counterterrorism and security training presentation that was used to teach 9,100 Army soldiers at Fort Bragg.”

Driscol said, “This characterization was not only inaccurate but also deeply inappropriate.”

His response came in a letter to the American Center for Law and Justice, which represented Operation Rescue and its president, Troy Newman.

“I am glad to accept the Army’s apology, but the harm this has caused Operation Rescue has been incalculable,” said Newman. “Being labeled a terrorist in these troubled times has carried with it a heavy burden on my staff and me.” (Read more from “Army Apologizes for Describing Famed Pro-life Organization as ‘Terrorists’” HERE)
