ONE OF THE PORTLAND SEVEN,TOP RIGHT.Posted on 02/10/2006 4:59:54 AM PST by Terrence DoGood
Homegrown terrorist Jeffrey Leon Battle considered America the “land of the kaffirs,” or unbelievers, and the American people “pigs.”
He once lamented to an acquaintance—who happened to be a government informant—that the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks did not sufficiently damage the U.S. economy.
“This is the land of the enemy,” he said of his own country in a May 8, 2002, conversation secretly recorded by the government. He explained to a friend how his “burning desire” to become an Islamic martyr had inspired his aborted quest to join forces with al Qaeda in Afghanistan, where he could kill American troops.
Lesson Learned
Battle, now 35, is serving an 18-year prison sentence for conspiring to wage war against the United States, a crime to which he confessed and pleaded guilty. But members of Congress who are stalling on renewing the Patriot Act and attacking President Bush for ordering the National Security Agency to intercept al Qaeda-linked communications in and out of the United States could learn something from studying the activities and communications of the Portland Seven terrorist cell that Battle and others began forming in Oregon in the months before—that’s right, before—the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Bad guys get locked up...
Bush's fault!!
Good..:)
Even if we could prove he'd saved Western Civilization...
it would still be Bush's fault!
I could live with that! ;^)
The Democrats hope and pray on a daily basis that we will get attacked again. Nothing would please them more than to see busses bombed, the body parts of innocent and helpless men, women , and children flying through the air.
Always remember that to the Democrat the United States and its citizens are the enemy. The Democrat's friend is whoever is trying to destroy the United States at any particular time. Once it was the communits. Now it is the followers of the pervert.
Excellent!
Grab your ankles for Allah, Mr. Battle.
When the execrable Don Imus was interviewing the reprehensible Chris Dodd (Sen., Dem, CT) this morning he did get off a good line. He asked the senator whether what the democrats want to do with the Patriot Act is really turn parts of it into a Terrorist Bill of Rights?
ONE OF THE PORTLAND SEVEN,TOP RIGHT.If President Bush could make the dead arise and walk the Dems would want him arrested for practicing medicine without a license.
What's so sad about this is that we taxpayers have to pay to keep this piece of excrement alive. Hopefully one of his boyfriends in prison will do us a favor.
I guess IMUS still has rare moments of lucidity.
What a crew.
I would bet that Bernie or Charles gave him that line...but he did deliver it. But, Dodd dodged the question blathering on about "proper oversight."
Ah yes! Bernie or Charles. I like Bernie the best. I TIVO'd one of his Cardinal Egan stints. It's hilarious and nasty. He really slammed Hitlery.
Good mornin' and God bless...
How sweet of you to say that to me!
Good morning and God bless to you too!
COLD here and rain due any minute.
Jail's too good for the bastard. Put him against a wall with a target over his heart. No blindfold.
IF we lost to the Muzzis, which I do not think will happen, the only good thing that could come of it would be that Hillary would have to wear a burka.
Here. You'll enjoy listening to this new hit song, "ISLAM'S NOT FOR ME"...

...that was in my best Cardinal Egan (Bernie) Irish accent.
"Opponents of the Patriot Act and the National Security Agency program that targets al-Qaida-linked communications in and out of the United States should consider the Portland Seven terrorists, one of whom blamed their failure on President Bush. "
===
That's OK, the Dems blame Bush for thwartin the attack on LA, before it fully materialized.

Interesting that Human Events didn't print the first paragraph, but Townhall did, which was the whole point of the article.

He's one of Farrakhan's folks who decided to go hardcore.
NOI should be phone tapped and bi+(# slapped into oblivion.
Human Events is conservative, so I have no idea, why they would have omitted the most important paragraph of the entire article.
Could a paragraph been added to a later publishing? Do the dates jive?
Considering the title of the article is the same in both publications, and the first paragraph is what provides justification for the title, I figure the author must have written it that way and someone one HE in their infinite wisdom took it out.
I read it first at Townhall and was going to post it, then I saw it was already posted, but from HE, and the excerpt didn't contain the paragraph, so I went to the the HE website and sure enough, it wasn't there.
Odd -- I was reading more and found the last paragraphs are different too. Looks like Human Events have deliberately weakened the article.
The last paragraph from the TH article is a good close:
"Lawmakers critical of the Patriot Act and NSA intercepts must decide if they really want to strip away one or more of these barriers between us and another terrorist attack."
The one in HE:
"The question for lawmakers in Washington, D.C. is simple: Do they want to keep in place all the redundant layers of protection that stand between us and the next 9/11? Or do they want to strip one or more of them away? "
I.e. giving the impression that it really would be OK to strip away those layers, because they are "redundant".
The sneaky editors!
Exactly so!
I guess since Terence P. Jeffrey is the editor of HE he could have edited it himself
Interesting!
I wonder how it appeared in the print edition, because Robert Bluey the editor for HE Online.
Oh, well.
18 years isn't long enough for this traitor. A firing squad's bullets would have been more appropriate.
The line is Rush's.
Oh, I just noted that the author was affiliated as an editor with HE. Great eye on the omission!
I am glad you dug further, I had no idea the author was also an editor of HE. Teamwork. :)

Spread it!!
Bingo, bingo, bingo!!!!!
What did Dodd say in response ..??
Did Dodd spit and sputter all over himself .. lying through his teeth ..??
And subverting a key Democratic voting bloc.
God help us if this present set of Democrat lunatics gains power in this country.
He said something like..."What we're interested in is not allowing the president to have absolute power, something the Founders were interested in and why they created the checks and balances." In other words, he deflected the question and got his sound bites in.
Wasn't Dodd on FNS last summer ahead of the Roberts hearings in which he was quoted saying he wanted to find out what the nominee thought about the "Privacy Clause" in the Constitution?
I guess he's just being consistent; we have these made-up constitutional rights, and any real law that comes along might interfere with his weird interpretations of it.
But .. in WAR .. the President does have "absolute power".
And Imus never asked a follow up--he only said that "that makes sense."
With the hate that the Dims have for Bush, it is a hugh miracle they haven't tried to knock him off.
I guess then they would hate Cheney as much as, Bush.
