‘Jihad Jane’s’ Arrest Raises Fears about Homegrown Terrorists
‘Jihad Jane’ Indictment Shows Terror’s Evolution
Jihad Jane and the Changing Face of Terrorism
On that last one, if the best Islamic terrorists can do is recruit suicidal, alcoholic, needy, suburban women who hide in plain sight, aren’t we winning? As the media whips itself into a frenzy over Colleen R. LaRose, aka Jihad Jane, a step back might prove helpful. |
The Pennsylvania woman, who called herself Jihad Jane all over the Internet, is now accused of being part of an assassination plot against a Swedish cartoonist who depicted the prophet Muhammad atop the body of a dog. Federal prosecutors accuse LaRose, an American from the Philadelphia suburbs, of linking up through the Internet with militants overseas and plotting to carry out a murder. |
“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 |
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?) |
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. |
When Abu al-Zarqawi died and George Washington met at the Pearly Gates. George slapped him across the face and yelled, “How dare you try to destroy the nation I helped conceive!” |
| Patrick Henry approached, punched him in the nose and shouted, “You wanted to end our liberties but you failed!” |
| James Madison followed, kicked him in the groin and said, “This is why I allowed our government to provide for the common defense!” |
| Thomas Jefferson was next, beating al-Zarqawi with a long cane, and who snarled, “It was evil men like you who inspired me to write the Declaration of Independence.” |
The beatings and thrashings continued as George Mason, James Monroe and 66 other early Americans unleashed their anger on the terrorist Leader. |
As al-Zarqawi lay bleeding and in pain, he beseeched Allah, “This is not what you promised me.” |
| 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. |
| 5. Training and reinserting: The statement said “al-Qaeda transported Zazi and others to the Waziristan region of Pakistan and trained them on several different kinds of weapons, asked them to conduct suicide operations in the US.Read more at www.aim.org |
