The Dumb Dick Durbins of the world should take a look at what real torture looks like -- that done by the communist Chinese. Ngawang Sangdrol was just 13 when she was first imprisoned by China in Tibet. She was so small her prison guards found it easy to pick her up by the legs […]
The left has lost it. Even those whom you could once count on being as on the sensible center-left like Andrew Sullivan [third item] appear to have chosen instead to dive head first into America-hating insanity. On yesterday's "Fox News Watch," they briefly addressed the differences in coverage between Sen. Dick Durbin's American servicemen=Nazis and […]
The Wall Street Journal's Tunku Varadarajan has an intriguing and informative interview with Oriana Fallaci. (I read Fallaci's The Rage and The Pride and wholeheartedly endorse it.) I encourage you to read the entire thing, but I want to highlight an excerpt from an essay by the new Pope before he was Pope, as recounted […]
Sen. Dick "U.S. troops are like Nazis" Durbin might find it enlightening to read this New York Times story which describes what torture really is -- and it doesn't involve Christina Aguilera. When marines [sic] burst in, one of the captives was lying under a stairwell, badly beaten. At first, they thought he was dead. […]
A former Bush administration insider has concluded that the wacko conspiracy theory that the Twin Towers were destroyed not by terrorist flying airliners into the buildings, but rather by pre-planted demolitions at strategic points is the real truth. So, we should believe this former Bush administration employee because he's a structural engineer, right? Oh, he's […]
The political classes of Washington, both Democrats and Republicans, are in a tizzy over this week's Time magazine report on Guantanamo Bay's Prisoner 063 -- the terrorist who would've been the 20th hijacker, but was turned back at the border. Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska was among those criticizing such metholds [sic]. "It's not […]
Call the victims of 9/11 "little Eichmanns" while claiming that you're an American Indian. The Rocky Mountain News is wrapping up an impressive report on Colorado University professor Ward Churchill. Included in their extensive documentation is Churchill's family tree stretching back to the 16th century. Even going back nearly 500 years, they couldn't find a […]
Former President Jimmy Carter -- who should stick to building houses with Habitat for Humanity -- has joined the chorus of the shallow and ignorant by calling for the closure of the terrorist holding facility at Guantanamo Bay. In comments broadcast on Fox News, Carter had a list of things that could be done with […]
A report released Friday on "abuse" of the Koran at Guantanamo Bay reveals that Muslim prisoners have abused the "holy" book three times more often than the infidel guards. Color me unimpressed with all of the brouhaha over the Cuban "gulag" and the outrage over the treatment of the Muslim "holy" book. Compare the treatment […]
I didn't really pay much attention to last week's article by The New York Times' Thomas Friedman urging the United States to shut down the Guantanamo Bay detention center for terrorists. Why? For a couple of reasons: First, even if I tried really, really hard, I couldn't care less what the press in foreign countries […]
