Haditha cases continue to unravel
by

on Sun 29 Jun 2008 09:04 PM EDT
Battered by six consecutive exonerations of Marines accused in a highly publicized case, military prosecutors face new difficulties in obtaining convictions against the two remaining defendants charged with wrongdoing in the deaths of 24 Iraqi civilians in Haditha. The latest blow came June 17, when a judge ruled that unlawful command influence had irreparably tainted the dereliction-of-duty prosecution against the battalion commander at Haditha, Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani and that the charges would be dismissed. More>>> Saturday, June 28

The facts about your security are being torn to shreds by activist liars. And they think that you're too stupid to know the difference. Let's lay out the worst current examples of media make-believe and election-year truth-trashing: Whopper No. 1: America is less safe today than it was on Sept. 10, 2001. More>>>

Gizzi: Madame Pelosi on 'Hush Rush'; and filibustering FISA
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 25 Jun 2008 08:21 PM EDT
The speaker of the House made it clear to me and more than forty of my colleagues yesterday that a bill by Rep. Mike Pence (R.-Ind.) to outlaw the “Fairness Doctrine” (which a liberal administration could use to silence Rush Limbaugh, other radio talk show hosts and much of the new alternative media) would not see the light of day in Congress during ’08. In ruling out a vote on Pence’s proposed Broadcaster's Freedom Act, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-CA.) also signaled her strong support for revival of the “Fairness Doctrine” -- which would require radio station owners to provide equal time to radio commentary when it is requested.

AP: US to carry on military trials at Guantanamo despite ruling
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 24 Jun 2008 06:23 PM EDT
Hearings for terror suspects before US military tribunals in Guantanamo are going ahead despite a Supreme Court ruling that affirmed detainees have a right to challenge their detention in a civilian court. Legal experts had described the high court's decision as the death knell of the special tribunals created by President George W. Bush and his Republican allies in Congress to try "war on terror" suspects. More>>>

Media Excuse Obama’s False Advertising
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 23 Jun 2008 06:02 PM EDT
A reasonable interpretation of this ad, based on what we know about Obama so far, would have to conclude that it is the most deceptive commercial ever to air in the history of politics. It is designed to mask the fact that Obama, with all of his baggage, could not by any reasonable standard get a federal security clearance. But our media don’t have the basic integrity to point this out. More>>> Thursday, June 19

Sudan's Darfur crisis has exploded on many fronts -- violence, hunger, displacement and looting -- but United Nations peacekeepers say the biggest issue now affecting the region is the systematic rape of women and children. Thousands of women as young as 4 caught in the middle of the struggle between rebel forces and government-backed militias have become victims of rape, they say, with some aid groups claiming that it is being used as a weapon of ethnic cleansing.

Justice Kennedy: American Idle

on Thu 19 Jun 2008 01:37 PM EDT
...the judiciary simply has no power over enemy combatants in wartime. Such power is committed to the executive as part of the commander in chief's power, and thus implicitly denied to the judiciary, just as is the power to declare war is unilaterally committed to Congress. As one law professor said to me, this is what happens when the swing justice is the dumb justice. More>>> Wednesday, June 18

Haditha Watch: Charges dismissed against Lt. Col. Chessani Fight the smears. Call John “Cold-blooded” Murtha for comment: 202-225-2065. A military judge has dismissed charges against a Marine officer accused of failing to investigate the killings of 24 Iraqis. Col. Steven Folsom dismissed charges Tuesday against Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani after defense attorneys raised concerns that a four-star general overseeing the prosecution was improperly influenced by an investigator probing the November 2005 shootings by a Marine squad in Haditha. The charges were dismissed without prejudice… More>>> Tuesday, June 17

It's bad enough that Americans are bad-mouthing American troops fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. But an alarming number of Muslim-Americans are plotting to kill them. It's a story you don't like to hear from the mainstream media: U.S. soldiers increasingly are the prime targets of terrorism, both at home and abroad. And those who want to do them harm include fellow citizens. More>>>

Team Obama: Osama deserves a trial in an American Courtroom
by
Riley Jones
on Tue 17 Jun 2008 04:24 PM EDT
Barack Obama's foreign policy advisers said Tuesday that Osama bin Laden, if captured, should be allowed to appeal his case to U.S. civilian courts, a privilege opposed by John McCain. Responding to questions from The Examiner, Sen. John Kerry and former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke said bin Laden would benefit from last week's Supreme Court decision giving terrorism suspects habeas corpus, the right to appeal their military detention to civilian courts. “If he were to be brought back,” Clarke said of bin Laden, “the Supreme Court ruling holds on the right of habeas corpus.” More>>> Monday, June 16
LA Times: Bush Never Lied To Us About Iraq
by

on Mon 16 Jun 2008 06:28 PM EDT
Nearly every prominent Democrat in the country has repeated some version of this charge, and the notion that the Bush administration deceived the American people has become the accepted narrative of how we went to war. Yet in spite of all the accusations of White House "manipulation" -- that it pressured intelligence analysts into connecting Hussein and Al Qaeda and concocted evidence about weapons of mass destruction -- administration critics continually demonstrate an inability to distinguish making claims based on flawed intelligence from knowingly propagating falsehoods.

The plans appear to closely resemble a nuclear weapon that was built by Pakistan and first tested exactly a decade ago. But when confronted with the design by officials of the International Atomic Energy Agency last year, Pakistani officials insisted that Dr. Khan, who has been lobbying in recent months to be released from the loose house arrest that he has been under since 2004, did not have access to Pakistan’s weapons designs.

Levin: The Gitmo Defeat

on Fri 13 Jun 2008 06:19 PM EDT
It has been the objective of the left-wing bar to fight aspects of this war in our courtrooms, where it knew it would have a decent chance at victory. So complete is the Court's disregard for the Constitution and even its own precedent now that anything is possible. And what was once considered inconceivable is now compelled by the Constitution, or so five justices have ruled. I fear for my country. I really do. And AP, among others, reports this story as a defeat for "the Bush administration." Really? I see it as a defeat for the nation. More>>> Wednesday, June 11

The audit found the "methods for conducting name checks rely on outdated and ineffective technology, staff and contractors who have limited supervision and training, inadequate quality control measures and inconsistent use of production goals for name check analysts." As a result, the report said, the name check backlog "causes delays in the (Department of Homeland Security's) efforts to assess potential national security threats residing in the United States and adjudicate applicants' requests for immigration benefits."

Paratroopers launch biggest battle in Afghanistan for two years

on Sun 08 Jun 2008 08:15 AM EDT
In one of the biggest air assaults in their history, troops from the Parachute Regiment have spent the last four days deep in Taliban territory. Breaking one of the last insurgent strongholds in southern Afghanistan, the "Battle of Qarat-e-Hazrat" in Zabul Province ended in an enemy rout. The Daily Telegraph's Defence Correspondent Thomas Harding watched as British firepower finally turned the tide in the Taliban's own "back yard". AMAZING how our news services are silent on this event. Well "Good News" about the War on Muslim Extremism is "verboten" in the US media these days.- Riley More>>> Friday, June 6
Surge turns the tide in Iraq

AS the last Australian troops in Iraq this week folded their base camp flag, their coalition colleagues marked their lowest monthly combat casualties since the fall of Baghdad five years ago. The diggers' departure was sold as an honourable withdrawal at a time when people have grown tired of talking about the war. But there are growing signs the battle zone they leave behind is markedly different to the one they entered. More>>> |
