Heating the EDGE of a New Media!

1pm EST - "There have been ten generations of Americans since this nation was founded... Each left this nation in a little better condition than they had inherited it from their parents. This is the first generation at risk of doing the opposite. Why? I have come to believe that it is because we failed to acknowledge and discipline ourselves with the spiritual truths that have made us great for these two hundred years -- faith, family, country, values. This book is about how one man thinks they may be restored and yet save this great civilization from itself," says Miller in his new book, Deficit of Decency.

2pm EST - THE STRANGE CASE OF THE 'TERRORIST HUNTER': Jonathan "Jack" Idema joins us live from Pul-e-Charki prison in Kabul, Afghanistan. Idema has been serving out a prison sentence in Afghanistan on charges of torture and running an illegal prison. His defenders say he's a true patriot and was innocent all along. Now they say they have secretly made tapes of an appeals trial in Afghanistan which found Idema innocent. They're asking: Why is Idema still in prison then? The tapes have been turned over to CNN's Peter Bergen for verification. You can hear about the claims here first though. We'll also question our guests about recent media coverage that portrays Idema as a deluded egotist, liar and convicted criminal who has a penchant for threatening and trying to intimidate the press. Also- did Idema furnish mainstream media with phony videotapes of Al-Qaeda training in Afghanistan? Tune in to hear what the CIA told me. Also joining us: Robert Caraballo, brother of cameraman Ed Caraballo, imprisoned with Idema. And John Tiffany, attorney for Idema.

3pm EST - Join my guest host Scott Hogenson. Scott is the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Scott has a long background in broadcasting and conservatism. He will talk about his current role at the VA and the upcoming 75th year anniversary of the VA. He and his guests will also discuss the history of the VA, how it is changing and the more than 500 disabled veterans who will compete in the largest annual wheelchair sports event in the world, the 25th National Veterans Wheelchair Games. He will broadcast from the Department in Washington, DC. So enjoy the show, I will be back next week.

4pm EST –The Schiffer Report with Paul Schiffer

5pm EST – What's it like to be a Second Amendment supporter on a left wing faculty? Larry Pratt speaks with Professor Glenn Meyer.

Ask anyone in the SpecOps community what they think of Idema. Hint: It ain't good.

[CheneyChick]

Idema is bad news.

[expatguy]

Bad News...? How?

And as far as SpecOps is concerned... I have two simple questions.

Where is Osama Bin Laden and why have you not caught him yet?

Until our SpecOps/CIA/FBI/Afghan Proxies/ whatever get Osama Bin Laden and quit fooling around, then they don't really have jack all to say about anything.

There is no excuse for failure here - and that is exactly what we have.

Jack is the fastest person I have ever seen with the 'popcorn'. No body is going to come up on your ass. He knows his shit. Can work with any wepons system. More agency in this one: 1. Quick thinker. 2. Independent (which is why SO guys don't like him-it's follow or fall behind). 3. Doesn't seem to be a team player. 4. Works well with locals: problem here: drinks too damn much, but they like that. 4. He gets 'strange' with that damn humor of his and if you'd just laugh instead of confront him, he's fine. 5. He was right about the Necular isotopes, except, he only advised on how the hell it could be used. Somebody else found the case and brought it back to the Senate Hearing. He was out there at that time with two other personal. I was one of them. PERIOD!......If Jack is sent to find something or someone, he will get the job done at all cost. Love him or hate him, he get's it done.

It is a case of it not being the 'best situation/condition' to cut of the head in this case.
1. It would invoke immediate response.
2. It would imortalize him as a mytar. (he already is in some ways.)
3. How else can you find all the tenticals? They had to feed into him for some time and thus 'expose' a lot of information and cells.

It's a matter of how to handle it. He is basically only a figure head at this juncture..a name who can only incite at this point. I doubt he's given any 'real' advise for a while now. He knew when he did what he did what the eventual outcome would be. It's simply a matter of how to take him out without creating five more figure heads, which would worsen the overall situation.

Looks more like a self promoting fraudulent nut working with Dan Rather.

Hope your English has improved by now, btw.
