U.S. legal system, part two

Omer Salmain Saleh Bakarbashat, a Yemeni national in the U.S. illegally and scooped up in the post-Sept. 11 sweep of illegal aliens has pleaded guilty to immigration violations and awaits deportation. The San Diego Union-Tribune has an excellent article on Bakarbashat in which he makes the following observations of the U.S. justice system Though he […]

Am I a racist?

I would have to say no. But then again, I could be wrong. My good, old (we're both "old" now aren't we?) friend Tom Davis criticized my post suggesting that we prohibit the issuance of visas to "any male between the ages of 18-50 from any Arab nation during wartime." Tom said that my suggestion […]

The American Taliban

I didn't write much about it at the time, mainly because I was disgusted by the way the entire issue was handled from beginning to end. John Walker Lindh should have faced a military tribunal and then been executed for treason -- nothing more, nothing less. Instead, the plea deal gets Lindh out in 17 […]

Washington, we have a problem

National Review Online has posted a letter from Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage to Deputy Attorney General Larry D. Thompson. The important part: Unfortunately, the information we have received from FTTTF (Foreign Terrorist Tracking Task Force) so far has been insufficient to permit a consular officer to deny a visa. The information we have […]

Civil Rights "report"

The Council on American-Islamic Relations released its real report [Adobe Acrobat required] on Muslim civil rights in America on Tuesday. One interesting theme that appears to run throughout the report is that CAIR believes, either naively or stupidly, that the events of Sept. 11 would result in no backlash against Arabs or Muslims. Well, in […]

Using psychic powers in Jenin

Fresh from alleging brutal atrocities at Camp X-Ray at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Amnesty International is now screaming bloody murder -- literally. Amnesty International has done its best since Sept. 11 to become the embodiment of the proverbial "boy who cried wolf." The most curious comments in the article came from a Scotsman. Forensic pathologist Derrick […]

Justice Pakistani style

U.S. and Pakistani officials are vowing to bring the murderers of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl to justice. Unfortunately, unless Pakistani law is changed, the respite from this sort of terror will be short. The alleged ringleader of the Pearl kidnapping and murder is Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh. Sheikh was in jail once before, […]

Even more on media bias

Liberals cheered when former president Ronald Reagan was shot -- literally. You can find the story here. It's sad that so many of these same people think that the death penalty for murderers is barbaric. Killing a Republican is OK, but executing a mass-murderer after a fair trial and lengthy appeals process is not. Where […]

Helen Thomas, nut

Helen Thomas, the grand dame of the White House press corps, takes time out this week to plead for the traitor John Walker Lindh's life. Perhaps in mulling over Walker's life, he (President Bush) will try to remember when he was a 20-year-old. True, he did not defiantly challenge the system as so many young […]

Pearl Harbor's lessons

Sixty years ago today hundreds of Japanese planes attacked the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor. I always remember this day because my grandfather, Thomas Harold Hoy, was a Marine on board the USS California on battleship row that fateful morning. My grandfather survived, but more than 2,000 other Americans did not. "I fear all […]
