Via My Pet Jawa comes this report on what the Democrat-run State Department is doing on behalf of the American people. An official from the U.S. State Department has called the Charlotte family of al-Qaida propagandist Samir Khan to offer the government's condolences on his death in a U.S. drone attack last week in Yemen, […]
The Obama administration seems hell bent on trying terrorists in show trials in U.S. federal courts despite bipartisan opposition in Congress and in direct contravention of common sense. Just this week, the administration announced that Somali terrorism suspect Ahmed Abdulkadir Warsame had been captured two months ago and held on a US Navy ship where […]
First things first. I want to give credit to President Barack Obama for making the risky decision of sending in special forces troops to definitively kill Osama bin Laden and recover his body to prove that we actually got the bastard. The easy thing to do would’ve been to turn that compound to rubble using […]
I'll have a little more to say later tonight about the (delightful) death of Osama bin Laden. For now I want to address the remains of one of the world's most notorious mass murderers. The Obama administration has announced that bin Laden's body was dumped into the sea (think of the pollution!) and handled according […]

After campaigning on closing the terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay and opposing military commission proceedings as an affront to our values, […]
A New York jury yesterday acquitted Ahmed Ghailani, an Al Qaeda terrorist who was part of the bombing of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. He killed 224 people. The Weekly Standard’s Thomas Joscelyn summarizes the evidence: 1. Ghailani and another al Qaeda operative “purchased the used refrigeration truck converted to a […]
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 yesterday that the government can ban even “humanitarian” assistance to terrorist organizations. Eugene Volokh’s got a good summary post here, and you can click on the main site for quite a few more takes on the decision and read this short summary from Elliott Abrams. What was most interesting to […]
American Enterprise Institute’s Michael Rubin offers a scorecard to identify the people we should be talking to.
The only news hook for this post is the fact that it’s been bugging me for months and I haven’t written about it. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama characterized U.S. policy in Afghanistan and Pakistan as little more than indiscriminate bombing. "Now you have narco drug lords who are helping to finance the […]
