“I’ve been a military lawyer for almost 30 years, I represented people as a defense attorney in the military that were charged with some pretty horrific acts, and I gave them my all[.]… This system of justice that we’re so proud of in America requires the unpopular to have an advocate and every time a defense lawyer fights to make the government do their job, that defense lawyer has made us all safer.” |
“This is specious. ‘The unpopular’ are not ‘required’ to have ‘an advocate’ if (a) “the unpopular’ include war prisoners seeking to challenge their status as enemy combatants (or unprivileged belligerents) and (b) by ‘advocate,’ Graham means a lawyer. In fact, Sen. Graham was a sponsor of the Military Commissions Act which not only endorsed a system that did not provide counsel for detainees but further (and quite properly) sought to deny those detainees access to the federal district courts.” Read more at www.weeklystandard.com |

500 Christians were slaughtered. |

Oh, and enjoy the Oscars. Iran is Persia. Iran is derived from the word Aryan. Iranians aren’t Arabs, they’re Indo-Europeans. Iranians don’t speak Arabic, they have their own unique language, Farsi. Iran is home to one of the world’s oldest continuous major civilizations. The first Iranian dynasty formed during the Elamite kingdom in 2800 BCE. Iranians are not ancestors of desert nomads. Iranians did not sit around in tents collecting camel dung until the West discovered there was oil under their butts and afterward sit around in Mercedes collecting camel dung. Iranians are a proud, militaristic people capable of great sophistication whose Islamist rulers hate Israel, America, the West and other Muslims too. They’re building their armed forces and nuclear weapons to prove it. |
National security flip-flop |
I want to take you back to November 13, 2009, less than four short months ago. |
| As I noted the day the news broke, it was a Friday. The president was flying off to Asia. Congress was not in session. It was the perfect time to drop a bombshell on the American people. Here is what I wrote at the time: |
| Well, another Friday is upon us. President Obama will be flying off to Asia in a few weeks. Congress is tied up with health care |
| President Obama’s advisers are nearing a recommendation that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, be prosecuted in a military tribunal, administration officials said, a step that would reverse Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.’s plan |
But it appears that the KSM decision could be part of a swap with Congress for funding to close Guantanamo Bay and transfer remaining detainees to a facility on American soil
Obama advisers set to recommend military tribunals
http://bit.ly/aIIhQQ The Washington Post reports that the president’s advisers will soon recommend that Khalid Sheik Mohammed and other 9/11 plotters be prosecuted via military tribunals and not civilian courts as recommended by Attorney General Eric Holder. |
| The president’s advisers feel increasingly hemmed in by bipartisan opposition to a federal trial in New York and demands, mainly from Republicans, that Mohammed and his accused co-conspirators remain under military jurisdiction, officials said. While Obama has favored trying some alleged terrorists in civilian courts as a symbol of U.S. commitment to the rule of law, critics have said military tribunals are the appropriate venue for those accused of attacking the United States. |
| Administration officials say the decision could come before President Obama’s Indonesia trip on March 18 (allowing it to coincide with a final vote on health-care reform?) |
Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal donated $20 million each to Harvard and Georgetown Universities “to promote interfaith understanding.” For Georgetown, the gift was the second-largest ever received. Cornell University, Stanford University, and Texas A&M University are partnering with a Saudi university, lured by one of the world’s largest supercomputers (guess where the money for that came from).  |
The SEALs — Special Warfare Operators 2nd Class Matthew McCabe and Jonathan Keefe and Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Julio Huertas — were part of a team that in September 2009 captured Ahmed Hashim Abed, the Al Qaeda terrorist behind the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA contractors in Fallujah in 2004. |
Two Republican lawmakers are seeking to have charges dropped against three Navy SEALs facing court-martial for accusations of abusing a terror suspect arrested for an ambush killing of U.S. contractors in Iraq. |
The contractors’ bodies were burned and left hanging from a bridge. The image came to symbolize the rise of Al Qaeda in Iraq and the brutality of the enemy Americans face there. |
| Fox News has uncovered the identities of the seven lawyers. |
 Tony West |
The video by the group Keep America Safe, which dubbed the seven lawyers “The Al Qaeda 7,” is the latest salvo in a lengthty political battle. |
For several months, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has led an effort to uncover politically-appointed lawyers within the Justice Department who have advocated for Guantanamo Bay detainees or other terror suspects. |
“The administration has made many highly questionable decisions when it comes to national security, ” Grassley said in a recent statement. “[Americans] have a right to know who advises the Attorney General and the President on these critical matters.” |
An extensive review of court documents and media reports by Fox News suggests many of the seven lawyers in question played only minor or short-lived roles in advocating for detainees. However, it’s unclear what roles, if any, they have played in detainee-related matters since joining the Justice Department. Read more at liveshots.blogs.foxnews.com |
| U.S. Jihadist who admitted links to this Terror group and detailed his war mission against the homeland. This case deserves high level analysis. |
4. Decision to wage Jihad: “Zazi admitted during the guilty plea allocution, he and others agreed to travel to Afghanistan to join the Taliban and fight against United States and allied forces (…), they were recruited by al-Qaeda after arriving in Peshawar.” This statement shows that Zazi and his companions have already made the decision, based on their previous indoctrination, to join the Taliban, then al Qaeda - meaning an ideological machine is creating the Jihadists here in the U.S., before the graduates decide to join the ship of their choice. |
