I go out of town for an extended weekend and the whole world seems to fall to pieces! How am I supposed to comment and post on all that happened? Even worse, I have to be gone this weekend, also. I might get to post once or twice, but I will probably not get anything until Tuesday.

Have a nice weekend!

London, 9 April (AKI) - Britain's top anti-terror policeman Bob Quick resigned on Thursday after inadvertently exposing top-secret documents that forced police to immediately carry out a major anti-terror operation against Al-Qaeda suspects across England.

"I have this morning with great reluctance and sadness as chairman of the Metropolitan Police Authority accepted Bob Quick's resignation as head of counter terrorism," said London's mayor Boris Johnson speaking to BBC Radio on Thursday.

"John Yates is going to be appointed and I think he will do a first class job," Johnson added.

Quick revealed highly sensitive papers to photographers on Wednesday as he stepped out of a vehicle on his way to UK prime minister Gordon Brown's residence in London.

The exposure of key details of the planned anti-terror operation forced police to immediately carry out raids and arrest 12 people overnight on Wednesday in northwest England.

The papers contained details about the operation, including the names and nationality of the suspects as well as the location where the raids would take place.

Anti-terror police searches continued across the country on Thursday.

Those arrested included 10 Pakistani nationals on student visas who were allegedly involved in an Al-Qaeda linked plot.

More stupid insanity from the escaped monkeys who are running this administration.

Send all these killing machines into the homes of the lawyers who are volunteering to defend them. Allow the lawyers to really get to know their clients, before they die.

Keep the terrorists OUT OF AMERICA! What good can come of allowing these pig lovers a chance at more Americans?

A Virginia jail could be the next home for Guantanamo Bay inmates.

The maximum security jail in Alexandra, Va. -- home to approximately 460 inmates -- is under contract to take federal inmates who are tried at the courthouse just a few blocks away.

Among them could be former Al Qaeda operatives detained in Guantanamo Bay like Abu Zubaydah, Al Qaeda's operations chief, or Abd Al-Nashiri, the alleged planner of the U.S.S. Cole attack, Alexandria sheriff Dana Lawhorne told FOX News.

"We are a maximum security jail, so the answer is yes," Lawhorne said when asked about the possibility that Gitmo detainees could be transferred to the jail.

Lawhorne said that although most inmates are booked at city jail on local charges, Al Qaeda operative Zacarias Moussaoui was detained there in a separate unit on the third floor for five years.

Lawhorne said he and his team were given specific instructions for Moussaoui's imprisonment, which included no contact with television, radio, or other inmates.

"He had to be isolated. He could not be within earshot -- of television, radios, and other people. It takes a lot of space to accomplish that," Lawhorne said.

The jail, built in 1987, is surrounded by condominiums, government offices, and a luxury hotel just a few hundred feet from the courthouse door.

In a letter sent to Attorney General Eric Holder two weeks ago, Virginia Rep. Frank Wolf, a Republican, inquired about the housing and handling of detainees at Alexandria's jail because he said all signs indicate that Gitmo detainees will be transferred there. Holder's office has not yet responded, according to Wolf.

I am not sure why so many of the families and friends of terrorists are shocked when they are interviewed about their relationships.

If Somalia is so freaking great, go back and stay. If you don't want to go back, then you have to adapt to your new country and customs. You don't have to give up all your old habits and customs, just the ones that are negative or don't mesh with where you are trying to live now. If you don't like our country, then get out. Go home or make this your new home.

Federal authorities are looking to bring terror-related charges against one or more Somali-Americans from the Minneapolis area, and witnesses to the case have been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury, according to a Muslim leader in the area and a woman who said she testified before the grand jury this morning.

For several months the FBI has been investigating about a dozen Somali-American men who disappeared from their homes in the Minneapolis area late last year and may have joined terrorist groups overseas. One of the men, 27-year-old Shirwa Ahmed, later blew himself up in Somalia. The FBI recently called him the first U.S. citizen to carry out a suicide bombing, and FBI Director Mueller said he was "radicalized in his hometown in Minnesota."

The FBI has interviewed at least 50 people in the Somali community and subpoenaed at least 10 people to testify before a grand jury in Minneapolis, according to Farhan Hurre, the director of the Abubakar As-Saddique Islamic Center in St. Paul, one of the largest mosques in the Twin Cities. He said most of those subpoenaed are students at the University of Minnesota. At least two of the men still missing were students at the University of Minnesota.

The joy of releasing the enemy while the war is ongoing is a gift that keeps on giving - giving us dead bodies. President Bush takes the responsibility for releasing this goat humper, but the Democrats all bear responsibility for the pressure they brought to bear to have him freed.

This is not a game. This is War! The lies of the Left can not change the mantra of the people who have declared war on us. Just because they refuse to listen to our declared enemies does not make those enemies stop wanting to kill us. Just because the Left gives money and food to the terrorists, is not going to stop them from buying weapons. Actually, by saving them money they would have had to spend on food and necessities, the terrorists will be able to purchase larger quantities of weapons and bombs. Thanks morons.

The Taliban's new top operations officer in southern Afghanistan had been a prisoner at the Guantanamo Bay detention center, the latest example of a freed detainee who took a militant leadership role and a potential complication for the Obama administration's efforts to close the prison.

U.S. authorities handed over the detainee to the Afghan government, which in turn released him, according to Pentagon and CIA officials.

Abdullah Ghulam Rasoul, formerly Guantanamo prisoner No. 008, was among 13 Afghan prisoners released to the Afghan government in December 2007. Rasoul is now known as Mullah Abdullah Zakir, a nom de guerre that Pentagon and intelligence officials say is used by a Taliban leader who is in charge of operations against U.S. and Afghan forces in southern Afghanistan.

The officials, who spoke anonymously because they are not authorized to release the information, said Rasoul has joined a growing faction of former Guantanamo prisoners who have rejoined militant groups and taken action against U.S. interests. Pentagon officials have said that as many as 60 former detainees have resurfaced on foreign battlefields.

Where does The One find these idiots? His picks are almost a whose who of the far left hate cults.

Obama eyes intel pick tied to bin Laden
Business dealing, close contacts with family of terrorist mastermind

Chas W. Freeman

JERUSALEM - The Obama administration's reported pick for a top intelligence post has financial ties to the infamous bin Laden family - including dealings after Sept. 11, 2001.

Charles "Chas" Freeman, the U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War, is slated to head the National Intelligence Council, according to multiple reports. Freeman has come under fire in the Israeli media and on some pro-Israel blogs for his sharp criticism of the Jewish state. He also reportedly heavily criticized American anti-terrorism policy.

Now Ashley Rinsdberg, a Jerusalem-based researcher and blogger for the Daily Beast website has dug up another issue that may cause even bigger worry for the likely Obama appointee - he had business ties to Osama bin Laden's family and strongly defended the connections after 9/11.

Rindsberg documented how as chairman of Projects International, Inc., a company that develops worldwide business deals, Freeman declared in an Associated Press interview just after the 9/11 attacks he was still "discussing proposals with the Bin Laden Group - and that won't change."

(Story continues below)

The Bin Laden Group is a multinational construction conglomerate and holding company for the assets owned by the bin Laden family. It was founded in 1950 by Sheik Mohammed bin Laden, father of the terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden.

Freeman told the AP companies that have "had very long and profitable relationships are now running for public relations cover."

He said bin Laden remains "a very honored name" in the Saudi kingdom.

In a separate interview Sept. 28, 2001, Freeman told the Wall Street Journal he spoke at the time to two of Osama bin Laden's brothers following the mega terrorist attacks. He said they told him the FBI had been "remarkably sensitive, tactful and protective" of the family during the current crisis.

The Journal noted Freeman's ties to the bin Laden family went beyond admiration and business. He served as president of the Middle East Policy Council, a Washington-based Saudi backed nonprofit that at time was receiving tens of thousands of dollars a year from the bin Laden family.

Where is the outcry about the handling of prisoners by the Taliban? Or are they immune to societal norms that are expected from the rest of humanity? Are they even human?

We need to send the Human Rights freaks over to visit the Taliban and examine the way they treat prisoners and civilians who they have conquered. If they don't want to go, then send them anyway. Why should they only bother us?

Poland pledges to capture and "punish" the Taliban militants who beheaded a Polish engineer in Pakistan on Friday before delivering a video of the attack to the media, the Times of London reports.

Piotr Stanczak was reportedly kidnapped four months ago while working in the Attock district -- a region close to Pakistan's lawless North West Frontier Province.

A video released to media outlets Sunday shows the beheading of Stanczak just minutes after he appears on tape urging the Polish government not to send troops to neighboring Afghanistan.

On Monday, Poland's Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said the video had been authenticated and pledged to bring the terrorists to justice, according to the Times of London.

"The cassette of the execution, this bestial execution, is authentic and unfortunately it confirms the worst," Sikorski reportedly said in a statement. "Now we can no longer save our compatriot, we are going to try to punish his killers."

Will the Liberals call this evil? Or is this just the way of the world? If so, should rape be called a norm in the world?

So many questions, so few Liberals who will admit that this is evil.

Iraqi Woman Had 80 Women Raped & Turned Into Suicide Bombers (Video)

An Iraqi woman had 80 women raped and then talked them into exploding themselves to escape the shame.
She called herself "The Mother of All (evil) Believers" and was a member of Ansar al-Sunna, a radical Islamist group linked to Al-Qaeda.

Americans take for granted that there has been no Islamic terrorist attacks in the United States since September 11, 2001, and fewer elsewhere in the world. The counter-terrorism efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan are, in turn, blamed for somehow making the situation worse. In reality (which is not always a factor in forming public opinion), operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have crippled the al Qaeda, the Taliban and many other Islamic radical organizations. But many people don't want to believe it, unless something blows up near them. That's a reality check. Normally, however, reality is not the goal. Other agendas (partisan politics, religion or political correctness in general) are.

http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htwin/articles/20090119.aspx

One of al Qaeda's weaknesses is that it is dominated by Arabs. This often causes resentment when the non-Arabs find themselves left out of decision making, or on the short end when it comes to distribution of resources. This was first seen in Afghanistan, where the al Qaeda Arabs made themselves very unpopular several years before September 11, 2001. Now the bad feelings have spread to Pakistan. There, the hundreds of al Qaeda members hiding out in tribal areas along the Afghan border, have split along ethnic lines. The Arab al Qaeda, who still have access to lots of cash, have made themselves very unpopular with the al Qaeda members from Central Asia. The Central Asians, particularly Islamic radicals from Uzbekistan, always felt this was their turf, and that the Arab al Qaeda should recognize that, and not throw their weight, and money, around in a disrespectful (to the Uzbeks) manner. Over the last few years, Pakistani and U.S. intelligence operatives were able to use these bad feelings to get information on where al Qaeda leaders were hiding out. These men were either captured in Pakistan, or killed by American UAVs firing Hellfire missiles.

I am tired of how the Media and Liberals, is there a difference?, are whining about "torture" that is in reality just trying to embarass bad guys until they can't take it anymore. That is not that bad! From the sounds of it, most frateraties haze worse than this. Military bootcamp, except maybe air force, is tougher than this. Even police training is tougher!

The reason that Liberals think this is torture is that they are pussies who think that having to climb stairs, away from the gym, is torture. They think that it is torture having to take a cab to pick up their government check. They think it is torture to have to bathe more than once a week. Well, except for the gays who tend to be very clean.

Another thing that Liberals find to be torturous is acting like Americans. It is very easy for them to move to a country they might like, but that is too much like work. Pussies.

The Lord knows I am tired of Liberals. Their constant whining is a torture to me and I am sick of it!

End the real torture!

Defining Torture Down

The new definition of "torture:"

"For 160 days his only contact was with the interrogators," said Crawford, who personally reviewed Qahtani's interrogation records and other military documents. "Forty-eight of 54 consecutive days of 18-to-20-hour interrogations. Standing naked in front of a female agent. Subject to strip searches. And insults to his mother and sister."

At one point he was threatened with a military working dog named Zeus, according to a military report. Qahtani "was forced to wear a woman's bra and had a thong placed on his head during the course of his interrogation" and "was told that his mother and sister were whores." With a leash tied to his chains, he was led around the room "and forced to perform a series of dog tricks," the report shows.
