Earlier this morning, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that he would be bringing 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four other co-conspirators to New York to stand trial in civilian court for the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. To say this decision is stupid gives it far too much credit. I give you former […]
This degree of political correctness results in what can only be described as monumental stupidity. he U.S. Homeland Security secretary says she is working to prevent a possible wave of anti-Muslim sentiment after the shootings at Fort Hood in Texas. Janet Napolitano says her agency is working with groups across the United States to try […]
It wasn’t until shortly before I left work earlier this evening that I saw Internet reports about today’s tragic attack at Fort Hood, Texas. Initial reports identify the attacker as Maj. Nidal Hasan, a Muslim. As I drove home, the radio updated the story and you barely had time to react to the numbers – […]
Those are the words, when they come out of President Barack Obama’s mouth, should clue you in to the fact that he hasn’t said it before – he’s merely changing his mind. If you hadn’t noticed, the war in Afghanistan isn’t all unicorns and rainbows. There’s more than three months left in the year and […]
President Obama sent out his flack, Robert Gibbs, today to announce that the U.S. would be abandoning its plans to construct limited ground-based missile defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic. The missile defense system was targeted at preventing Iran from using its nascent nuclear capability from terrorizing our allies in Europe. (Let’s leave the […]
I just got finished watching the National Geographic channel’s “9/11: Science and Conspiracy” special. Personally, I enjoyed the Popular Mechanics special more, but the Nat Geo show wasn’t so much about the science of the 9/11 attacks as it was the reaction of “truthers” to evidence that undermines their theories. If it wasn’t obvious by […]
Over the last few days, the mainstream media, the talking-head shows on cable news, the left side of the blogosphere and the Obama Justice Department have been going ape over a 5-year-old CIA inspector general’s report that outlined some of the outrageous lengths CIA interrogators went to to try and get information to save American […]
Law professor John Yoo returned to classes at UC Berkeley yesterday, and the loons came out. Anti-war activists protested Monday at the University of California, Berkeley to call for the firing of a law professor who co-wrote legal memos that critics say were used to justify the torture of suspected terrorists. Campus police arrested at […]
House Democrats, in an apparent effort to deflect attention away from Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s claim that the CIA regularly lies to Congress, went ape last week after CIA Director Leon Panetta briefed Congress on a proposed counter-terrorism program that never got past the planning phase. Reports indicate that the program was supposed to target top […]
If all you read about a report dumped Friday afternoon on the Bush administration-era warrantless wiretapping program was the New York Times account of it, you'd get a less-than-completely-honest account of the program's history and effectiveness. I encourage you to read the Times article and then check out this brief post by former federal prosecutor […]
