terror

Hmmm, last I heard Spaid had withdrawn from Iraq and was considering funding Islamic mosques. So what are these guys upset over now? http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/14444292?source=Daily%20Mail

There are a lot of apologists about here, and many who considered these poor detainees to be innocent tourists. Two of these seven, and there are undoubtedly more, have been killed and one captured. Four still hunted. I'm just curious if anyone is still willing to advocate releasing more of them?

From the 11th US circuit: "We cannot simply suspend or restrict civil liberties until the War of Terror is over, because the War on Terror is unlikely ever to be truly over," the court said in its ruling. "Sept. 11, 2001, already a day of immeasurable tragedy, cannot be the day liberty perished...

Do you ever wonder about the secret things that may be happening in the war against terror? Like, what if Intel worked with the government to build spyware-like instructions into their processors? I wonder if this is stealthily doable?

I saw this clip of an old debate tween John Kerry and William Weld. They were arguing over the DP for terrorists. Mind you this was some 10+ years ago. Kerry made an interesting anti-DP argument. He said that with the DP many foreign nations would refuse to extradite captured terrorists to the...

This intelligence came from a raid on an Al-Qaeda cell in Pakisatan, which does make me wonder how reliable it is (the suspicion is that it was gained through torture - Pakistan's record is not a good one. ) If you were a terrorist with a truck full of explosives, and it came out on the news...

It seems that terrorists attacks have almost seized in Israel. Some would say because of the (far from finished) wall, I would say the elimination of the palestinian leaders. Apparently the israeli aggression seems to work for once, eh?

A friend sent me some information on this. I'm still trying to track this down, but this is what I have so far. You can read it here, but so far, this is one of the few places I'm finding it. IF it's true, there's no way I can back this man.

Mark Steyn, theater critic turned right wing pundit, nails it again! If the Jerusalem Post asks you for a userid and password, userid 'wookie' and password 'snookums' will work just fine if you don't feel like registering. :D From the Jerusalem Post: International terrorism takes a hit...
