Judge tosses out most evidence on Gitmo detainee

A federal judge has tossed out most of the government's evidence against a terrorism detainee on grounds his confessions were coerced, allegedly by U.S. forces, before he became a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay.

In a ruling this week, U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan also said the government failed to establish that 23 statements the detainee made to interrogators at Guantanamo Bay were untainted by the earlier coerced statements made while he was held under harsh conditions in Afghanistan.

So Barry wants civilian trials for terrorists, does he.  Well here's the first.  This is what you get when you don't think something through.   

Obama will discover that he can't get a criminal conviction. He'll also know that releasing these fucks will get him and every other Democrat run out of DC on a rail. So he'll imprison them by executive order. And all the liberal shits who spent 8 years screaming about Bush "shredding the Constitution" will applaud his Solomonic wisdom. - Comment by Trimegistus

14 terror suspects mistakenly kill themselves



Fourteen suspected terrorists died Tuesday night when the bus they rigged with explosives blew up prematurely, police said.

The explosion occurred as the suspects were riding the bus in the province of Kunduz, said police chief Abdul Raziq Yaqobi.

Yaqobi said the suspects wanted to attack Afghan police or foreign soldiers.

White House forgot that they told McChrystal to defeat the Taliban

In June, McChrystal noted, he had arrived in Afghanistan and set about fulfilling his assignment. His lean face, hovering on the screen at the end of the table, was replaced by a mission statement on a PowerPoint slide: "Defeat the Taliban. Secure the Population."

"Is that really what you think your mission is?" one of the participants asked.

In the first place, it was impossible - the Taliban were part of the fabric of the Pashtun belt of southern Afghanistan, culturally if not ideologically supported by a major part of the population. "We don't need to do that," Gates said, according to one participant. "That's an open-ended, forever commitment."

But that was precisely his mission, McChrystal responded, enshrined in the Strategic Implementation Plan - the execution orders for the March strategy, written by the NSC staff.

"I wouldn't say there was quite a 'whoa' moment," a senior defense official said of the reaction around the table. "It was just sort of a recognition that, 'Duh, that's what in effect the commander understands he's been told to do.' Everybody said, 'He's right.'"

Nobody Asked Me... Testing...testing...

One week ago, I went to Ohio on business and to see my father. On Tuesday, November the 17th, I returned home. If you read the papers the 18th you may have seen a blurb where a AirTran flight was cancelled from Atlanta to Houston due to a man who refused to get off of his cell phone before takeoff. It was on Fox.

This was NOT what happened.

Feds to seek death penalty for Sept. 11 suspects in Manhattan trial

Think about it for just a second. I'll wager certain things come immediately to mind...

Media Circus? It'll make the OJ trial look like jaywalking. Al-Queda Soapbox?
Precedent?
Jury Selection? Peers? An all-Muzzie Jury? Security for same?
How about evidentiary and discovery. This dirtbag's lawyers will try and lay bare every intelligence asset the country owns. Confessions thrown out because of torture?
How about he gets off cuz he was waterboarded? The judge could easily turn him loose just for that reason.
Endless appeals?
Miranda? He was captured as an illegal combatant on a battlefield.
A never-ending Bush Bash?

This is probably the worst idea any pResident/Attorney General has come up with in my 63 years on the planet...and I've seen some doozys. This prosecution is obviously not meant to work.

The more I think on it, the more I figure m'Bonga sees this as a feature, not a bug.  Years and years of lefty lawyers bashing Bush's method of fighting Islamic Terrorism...news every fucking night at 11!

Then again, the backlash to a botched government show trial would be awesome.

What a great idea.

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!
I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!
Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - A senior U.S. lawmaker said Thursday that unmanned CIA Predator aircraft operating in Pakistan are flown from an airbase inside that country, a revelation likely to embarrass the Pakistani government and complicate its counter terrorism collaboration with the United States.

The disclosure by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, marked the first time a U.S. official had publicly commented on where the Predator aircraft patrolling Pakistan take off and land.

The Execution of Britain | The Brussels Journal

In May 2008, 18 year-old Ben Smith was stopped in a routine check. The police officer noticed an English flag on the parcel shelf and ordered him to remove it because it was "racist towards immigrants." One of the first things foreign powers usually do when they invade a country is to ban its national symbols.

According to newspaper columnist Leo McKinstry, the English are being turned into second-class citizens in their own country: "England is in the middle of a profoundly disturbing social experiment. For the first time in a mature democracy, a Government is waging a campaign of aggressive discrimination against its indigenous population."

In a survey published in April 2008, one in three medical doctors in Britain said that elderly patients should not be given free treatment if it were unlikely to do them good for long. At the same time, Muslim men with multiple wives have been given the go-ahead to claim extra welfare benefits. The "welfare state" now means that the natives should watch grandma die because she's getting old anyway and we need the money to pay Muslims with multiple wives and numerous children so that they can feel comfortable while colonizing the country.

Bryan Cork, 49, was jailed for six months for "racist slurs" after he had shouted insults at Muslim worshippers outside a Cumbria mosque, including "proud to be British" and "go back to where you came from." This was after the London Jihadist bombings in 2005.

Even children face this kind of ideological intimidation. Codie Stott, a teenage British schoolgirl, was forced to spend hours in a police cell after she was reported by her teachers for "racism." She had objected, in the mildest possible terms, to being placed during class with a group of South Asian immigrants who talked among themselves in a language she didn't understand. For this, she was dragged to the local police station and had her fingerprints and photograph taken. 18-year-old Jamie who has Down's syndrome and the mental age of a five-year-old was charged with "racism" after an argument with an immigrant. Meanwhile, the UK is being brought to its knees in an epidemic of violent crime and white native girls get raped by immigrants in spectacular numbers, just like all over Western Europe.

Tehran, 19 March (AKI) - In its first session since last week's general elections, the new Iranian parliament is expected to discuss a law that will condemn to death anyone who decides to leave the Muslim faith and convert to other religions.

Tehran, 19 March (AKI) - In its first session since last week's general elections, the new Iranian parliament is expected to discuss a law that will condemn to death anyone who decides to leave the Muslim faith and convert to other religions.

The parliament, also known as the Majlis, will debate the new law which has been presented by the government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Under the proposed law, anyone who is born to Muslim parents and decides to convert to another faith, will face the death penalty.

Currently converts, particularly those who have decided to leave the Muslim faith for Evangelical churches, are arrested and then released after some years of detention.

The new legislation, which has caused concern in Iran and abroad, was proposed mainly because of fears of proselytising activities by Evangelical churches particularly through the use of satellite channels.

There has also been concern over fact that many young people in Iran have abandoned Islam because they're tired of the many restrictions imposed by the faith.

According to unofficial sources, in the past five years, one million Iranians, particularly young people and women, have abandoned Islam and joined Evangelical churches.

This phenomenon has surprised even the missionaries who carry out their activities in secret in Iran.

An Evangelical priest and former Muslim in Iran told Adnkronos International (AKI) that the conversions were "interesting, enthusiastic but very dangerous".

"The high number of conversions is the reason that the government has decided to make the repression of Christians official with this new law," said the priest on condition of anonymity.

"Often we get to know about a new community that has been formed, after a lot of time, given that the people gather in homes to pray and often with rituals that they invent without any real spiritual guide," he told AKI.

"We find ourselves facing what is more than a conversion to the Christian faith," he said. "It's a mass exodus from Islam."

Since the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, at least eight Christians have been killed for their faith.

Seven of them were found stabbed to death after they were kidnapped while only one, Seyyed Hossein Soudmand was condemned to death.

I can think of two ex-Muslims they'll have to go thru me to get at...

From Roger Simon

Who would you like to be in the White House if Pakistan fell to al Qaeda and the Islamists gained control of its nuclear arsenal?

A plausible interpretation of last weekend’s incident is that it was some type of test run for the Iranian attack plan. The exact purposes of Iran’s actions remain unclear, but Strategic Intelligence Estimates.com believes the threatening maneuvers were possibly designed to accomplish some of these following purposes:


1) to conduct a dry run of a suicide bombing against US ships

2) to calibrate the reaction time and defensive techniques of the US Navy

3) to feint an attack in order to identify the specific maneuvers of the naval ships, so that these reactionary maneuvers could be exploited

4) to prepare some form of military deception, in which the naval ships are distracted by a diversionary attack that sets up a more devastating primary attack possibly involving: a) the longer-range land-to-sea missiles they are known to possess; or b) an IRG submarine that is carrying out a conventional torpedo attack, an underwater suicide bombing, or an insertion of an underwater demolition unit.


5) to provoke a US attack that could be exploited for propaganda purposes

The Persians are a proud people with a long history but isolated as heretics in the ME. They also think locally first. This little incident was probably as much a macho stunt as it was for intelligence gathering. The oil/China suggestion was also a good one...Iran, amazingly enough, imports gasoline and needs currency.

I don't think they want to close the Straits. All of their oil ports are inside it and the new oil pipeline they are building ends there also.

It also appears, by US reaction, that this was expected. The military games out more than Global Thermonuclear War...especially with weak players.If they have any kind of intel-gathering capabilities, the Iranians have probably decided how close they can get without being made into fish food. They also know we would pick up survivors, if any.

We played this game of chicken with the Ruskies for decades

   

Iran's nuclear ambitions on hold, U.S. agencies conclude

Senior U.S. intelligence officials said that Bush and Cheney were briefed on the intelligence estimate on Iran Wednesday, but declined to say when they were informed that Iran had halted its nuclear weapons work.

Iran stopped developing nuclear weapons designs and ended covert efforts to produce highly enriched uranium suitable for use in a bomb, the report says.

"We judge with high confidence that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program," the report concludes.

Like the intelligence agencies have a great track record. 
The moonbats are already screamin 'Bush' Lied.
Seein' there was no change in sanctions against Iran from 2000 to 2006, I figure Iran (and Libya if you remember) noticed a couple of hundred thousand yanks kicking the crap out of Saddam in 2003 for the 'hint' of WMDs and decided it wasn't worth it.
If you can trust the intelligence.

...and from the Satire Site, Blame Bush

Iran Harmless as a Kitten, Pentagon Admits

After months of trying to justify a pre-planned rush to war with Iran, the Bush Junta is now scrambling to put its own spin on a leaked Pentagon memo which reveals that the Iranian regimescrapped it's nuclear weapons program way back in 2003. Coincidentally,  that was the same year Libya's Moammar Khadaffi announced plans to dismantle his own WMD's and comply fully with UN resolutions. But something else occured in 2003, something that makes you wonder if it all really is just a silly coincidence. You see, 2003 was the year that a certain political figure decided to do a certain something that a majority of Americans were strongly against, something that drew sharp criticism and widespread ridicule at the time. Yes, 2003 was the year that John Kerry officially announced he was running for President. Wonderful news to you and I, but the very thought of a decorated war hero thrice wounded on the battlefields of Vietnam serving as our Commander-in-Chief must've scared the bejeebers out of our enemies in a fashion reminiscent of Jingus Khan. I'm sure

Iran halting weapons flow, general says BAGHDAD - Iran appears to be honoring an informal pledge to halt the smuggling of explosives and other weapons into Iraq, contributing to a drop of bombings by nearly a half since March, a senior US general said yesterday. "We have not seen any recent evidence that weapons continue to come across the border into Iraq," Major General James Simmons said. "We believe that the initiatives and the commitments that the Iranians have made appear to be holding up."

One wonders? Three carrier battle groups off shore. Moving all the Marines to Afghanistan on Iran's eastern border. The absolute inability of Iran's useful idiots in the Congress to stop us from winning in Iraq.

I photographed men and women, both Christians and Muslims, placing a cross atop the St. John's Church in Baghdad. They had taken the cross from storage and a man washed it before carrying it up to the dome. A Muslim man had invited the American soldiers from 'Chosen' Company 2-12 Cavalry to the church, where I videotaped as Muslims and Christians worked and rejoiced at the reopening of St John's, an occasion all viewed as a sign of hope. The Iraqis asked me to convey a message of thanks to the American people. 'Thank you, thank you,' the people were saying. One man said, 'Thank you for peace.' Another man, a Muslim, said 'All the people, all the people in Iraq, Muslim and Christian, is brother.' The men and women were holding bells, and for the first time in memory freedom rang over the ravaged land between two rivers." - Michael Yon

In a special Internet announcement in Arabic, picked up DEBKAfile's counter-terror sources, Osama bin Laden's followers announced Monday, Oct. 29, the launching of Electronic Jihad. On Sunday, Nov. 11, al Qaeda's electronic experts will start attacking Western, Jewish, Israeli, Muslim apostate and Shiite Web sites. On Day One, they will test their skills against 15 targeted sites expand the operation from day to day thereafter until hundreds of thousands of Islamist hackers are in action against untold numbers of anti-Muslim sites.

Our government pussies won't let me personally throw a few JDAMs, but the targeted IP bomb is within my power.

I expect the raghead hackers'll have to get in line behind the Chinese.

OK, I will admit to Israel.
I will admit to a reservist with his AR.
I will admit to a Halloween Party.

Ride Fast and Shoot Straight...

The intelligence blunder started with what appeared at the time as an American intelligence victory, namely that the federal government had intercepted, a full four days before it was to be aired, a video of Osama bin Laden's first appearance in three years in a video address marking the sixth anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001. On the morning of September 7, the Web site of ABC News posted excerpts from the speech.

But the disclosure from ABC and later other news organizations tipped off Qaeda's internal security division that the organization's Internet communications system, known among American intelligence analysts as Obelisk, was compromised. This network of Web sites serves not only as the distribution system for the videos produced by Al Qaeda's production company, As-Sahab, but also as the equivalent of a corporate intranet, dealing with such mundane matters as expense reporting and clerical memos to mid- and lower-level Qaeda operatives throughout the world.
