Matthews on Ft. Hood: "We Don't Know Whether Religion Played Any Role In The Shootings"

Obama's Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting
Posted by: Garrett Murch at 4:09 PM
...from a fantastic (if scathing) piece on President Obama's press conference on the Fort Hood attack, in which he felt it somehow appropriate to give a "shout out" and go on and on for three minutes before addressing the tragedy...

"Anyone at home aware of the major news story of the previous hours had to have been stunned. An incident like this requires a scrapping of the early light banter. The president should apologize for the tone of his remarks, explain what has happened, express sympathy for those slain and appeal for calm and patience until all the facts are in. That's the least that should occur."

Thank you, Robert George, for writing this.  I couldn't agree with you more.

  I highly recommend it.

Prominent Muslim Groups Immediately Condemn Attack
Posted by: Jillian Bandes at 10:13 AM
The Ft. Hood killer had attended daily prayers at a mosque in Silver Spring, Md., and yelled  "Alllahu Akbar" before gunning down his fellow soldiers. Here's a nod to the Islamic Circle of North America, Islamic Society of North America, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council for promptly condemning the attack. Here's a call for the Muslim Students Association, the Islamic Assembly of North America, and every other local and international Muslim group to call him out as well.

Guests Battle! Soldier To Dr. Phil: Quit The "Psychobabble" & Deal With The Islamic Factor at Ft. Hood
Posted by: Greg Hengler at 1:17 AM
Like this former JAG officer, I was thinking the same thing. He should have whined that CNN was not "fair and balanced" due to the people who agreed with him. When acts of terror and evil done in the name of Islam are described as "stress" and the result of teasing, something is wrong. 



Here's our Dear Leader giving a "shout out" before discussing the Ft. Hood massacre:



Here's the Ft. Hood Press Conference with Lt. Gen. Robert Cone. Murder is alive and stable!



Shep Smith interviews Hasan’s cousin



Shep interview with Ret. Col. Terry Lee who Worked with Fort Hood Killer



Finally, Ft. Hood murderer exclaimed ‘Allah Akbar’ as he opened fire

New CIA Docs Show Detainee Interrogation Yielded HALF of All Al-Qaeda Intel
Posted by: Meredith Jessup at 2:19 PM
Through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, Judicial Watch has obtained documents from the CIA, including reports that claim detainee reporting was "pivotal" for the war against al-Qaeda:

These new reports, dated June 1, 2005 and July 12, 2005, contain some different information than the previously released report, dated June 3, 2005. Notably, the June 1, 2005 report concludes that "Detainee reporting accounts for more than half of all HUMINT reporting on al-Qa'ida since the program began..." This fact is missing from the other two later reports.

The June 1, 2005 report also has additional pages of redacted material. All three reports conclude: "One of the gains to detaining the additional terrorists has been the thwarting of a number of al-Qa'ida operations in the United States and overseas."

(The previously released June 3, 2005 report notes "...detainees in mid-2003 helped us build a list of approximately 70 individuals – many of whom we had never heard of before – that al-Qa'ida deemed suitable for Western operations.") ...

In March, President Obama overruled objections from national security officials and released documents detailing the government's enhanced interrogation program of terrorists (the so-called "torture" memos). However, President Obama initially withheld information detailing the results of this program, including alleged terrorist plots that the program prevented.

"All of these CIA documents come to the same conclusion: Detainee interrogations are effective and have helped save lives in the United States and overseas," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "The Obama administration initially attempted to conceal the effectiveness of detainee interrogations by cherry picking documents to support its view on the interrogation program. We're pleased we have been able to provide the American people with more of the truth about the effectiveness of terrorist detainee interrogations."

Conservatives Debate Airbus Tanker Bid
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 12:56 PM
Kerri (Houston) Toloczko, a Senior Vice President for Policy for the Institute for Liberty, asked me to post her response to a recent blog post authored by my good friend, Quin Hillyer. 

What follows is her response:
In Quin Hillyer’s recent American Spectator article, Pentagon in the Tanker, Mr. Hillyer notes that two years ago Northrop Grumman won the $40B contract for new Air Force refueling tankers “fair and square” and then had it “stolen away from them.”

Where to start?  Northrop Grumman was the minority American partner of Airbus/EADS, the French company that was initially given the contract. 

Last month, the World Trade Organization ruled against Airbus in an illegal subsidies case brought by the United States Trade Representative, determining that Airbus had won the original bid because of massive subsidies provided by France and other EU nations – designed intentionally to underbid America’s Boeing.  “Fair and square” is an interesting reworking of “guilty as charged” by the WTO in a U.S. Government case.

Marine Faker Gets His Comeuppance
Posted by: Jillian Bandes at 11:44 AM
A noncommissioned Marine faked being a wounded war hero. Today, he was thrown in jail for 18 months and fined $25,000, but not before wearing fake medals, appearing at sporting events and concerts for actual wounded veterans, and receiving free gifts. From the Marine Corps Times:
Sgt. David Budwah never suffered Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan or from seeing dead bodies piled up on the beaches of Sri Lanka after the 2004 tsunami, as he had told people. He never deployed to those places.

DHS Nixes Funds for NYC Anti-Terror Budget
Posted by: Meredith Jessup at 9:58 PM
After one of the biggest terrorist threats since Sept. 11, 2001 was uncovered just weeks ago, the Department of Homeland Security has decided to slash the anti-terror budget for New York City:
Just weeks after Najibullah Zazi was nabbed in an al-Qaida terror plot to explode dirty bombs here, the feds have inexplicably slashed Big Apple terror funding designed to build a network of sensors to uncover nuclear or radioactive devices in a 50 miles radius of the city.

"To me this is beyond comprehension that less than a month after al-Qaida attempted an attack against New York City that you would have the Congress cutting the money that New York City needs to defend itself from a dirty bomb attack. It's absolutely mind-boggling," Rep. Peter King, R-Long Island, told CBS 2 HD on Thursday afternoon.

The city wanted $40 million to build the network at bridges, tunnels and other locations in the metropolitan area. Congress only earmarked $20 million for the program and then slipped NYC a doubly whammy -- the money is in a pot that other city's can apply for, so we may not even get the $20 million.

A Defense Bill Should Be About Defense — Not Liberal Social Policies
Posted by: Townhall.com Staff at 5:15 PM
Guest blog post by Rep. Mike Pence (Ind.)

Throughout my nearly nine years in Congress, I have been downrange with our troops every year in Afghanistan and Iraq.  I also supported every defense authorization bill that came before the U.S. House of Representatives.
 
Therefore, it was with a heavy heart yesterday that I joined 130 of my House Republican colleagues in breaking that personal tradition and opposed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010.
 
The reason?  The Democrat majority cynically included hate crimes provisions in the bill that threaten the very freedoms of speech and religion that draw our soldiers into the uniform of this nation.

Civil Rights Leaders Silent With Black-On-Black Crime; Only Vocal With White-On-Black Crime
Posted by: Greg Hengler at 5:59 PM
CNN's "Education Contributor" (whatever that is), was dead-on with his analysis regarding the black community's inability to band together in order to fight crime done by fellow blacks. The popular YouTube video of the black Chicago boy taking a gnarly beating and later dying was one of the catalysts that spawned this segment. What they are focusing on is that the old school notion of not "ratting" on your crew has grown into something more grandiose: don't rat-out your fellow black.

Blaming whitey for everything wrong in the black community is becoming a harder sell for the so-called Civil Rights hustlers when their woes continue to have a black face. God save my fellow brothers.

Things That Make Me Sleep Better At Night
Posted by: Jillian Bandes at 9:24 AM
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement routinely puts illegal immigrants who are sex offenders or have other violent criminal records on U.S. commercial flights back to their home country — unescorted. And who knew — the illegal criminals actually take advantage of it!

Eric Holder & Hollywood in Agreement: Prosecute Bush Administration
Posted by: Meredith Jessup at 12:41 PM
Hollywood continues in its crusade against the Bush administration.  As Eric Holder pursues investigations into CIA operatives, Law & Order's new episode is literally  "ripped from the headlines."
