Detainee Compromises Likely
Washington Post ^ | Monday, May 4, 2009 | By Peter Finn and Carrie Johnson

Nearly six years ago, President George W. Bush declared Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri an enemy combatant and had him swept out of federal court and into a U.S. Navy brig so he could be interrogated without the legal protections afforded by the criminal justice system. Bush said the Qatari national, arrested as a material witness in Illinois in December 2001, possessed critical intelligence that "would aid U.S. efforts to prevent attacks by al-Qaeda on the United States."

In an agreement Marri entered Thursday in Peoria, Ill., he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to provide material support to al-Qaeda and admitted to being a sleeper agent. Under the guise of being a student, Marri came to the United States on Sept. 10, 2001, on the orders of Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, and began to research the use of chemical weapons as well as potential targets, according to the plea.

Renouncing "torture", U.S. to join group hugs with captured terrorists

You can tell how effective the CIA's enhanced interrogation techniques (better known as 'fraternity pranks') were by how loud liberal ninnies are still screaming about them. Liberals blow off 9/11 as bad behavior, but go into shock when they hear Bush was rough with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Yet, none of Bush's tactics actually involved "torture" -- no racks, thumb screws, or blowtorches, sadly. Spiked batons and cattle prods? Dream on.

What really irks liberals is that America wasn't attacked again after 9/11. The Bush-Cheney-Rummy junta of effective torturers kept al-Qaeda from scoring another 9/11 hit, much to the chagrin of the Democrats' nut base.

Every year a million babies get hacked to pieces in the womb but put a caterpillar in a cell with Mohammed and liberals go bananas. Imagine the unspeakable anguish, the unbearable agony and pain of being in the same cell with Mohammed. Poor caterpillar.

"What I've said -- and I will repeat -- is that waterboarding violates our ideals and our values," said Obama's Teleprompter somberly during its hour-long 'Everything is Bush's Fault' and 'Look how great I am' press conference. "We could have gotten this information in other ways, in ways that were consistent with our values, in ways that were consistent with who we are." Make nice with captured Islamic terrorists and they'll spill their guts with information. You'll see!

The harmless little darlings at Guantanamo use women and children as suicide bombers and human shields, detonate bombs on trains, buses and restaurants, load explosives in ambulances, take hostages and hack heads off, but be gentle with them and al-Qaeda will abide by the Geneva Conventions. As a window to how sick and twisted the enemy we face is, when video of Nick Berg's hideous murder was aired, reaction from the crazies was nothing short of jubilation. And that was just DailyKos.

Obama said that his opposition to "torture" to save American lives is grounded in his false belief that Churchill didn't torture, based on an article he just read on the Internet. Obama is such a great admirer of Churchill, he removed his bust from the Oval Office.

Obama's idiotic claim that Britain was saved by lacking the use of torture, based on something cooked-up by Andrew Sullivan, is false since even the Guardian newspaper documented years ago that German prisoners in the "London Cage" were subjected to torture in the 1940s under wussy pantywaist Churchill, who didn't do torture. The wimp also ordered the torture of Kenyans during the Mau Mau Rebellion, which Obama was mad at Churchill about -- something the Teleprompter forgot to mention. But don't worry, Democrats will soon file a complaint against Sarah Palin about this.

Liberals wanted Bush impeached for accurately citing British intelligence that Saddam had sought uranium yellowcake in Africa, but Churchill gets quoted for something he never said ("we don't torture") and Obama's Teleprompter gets a pass.

And how is Obama's valorous theory -- 'go softie on crazed Muslim terrorists and they'll go softie on us' -- working out these days? The overseas contingency ops against man-caused disasters coming along OK? After dropping warmongering Bush's "War On Terror" lingo, ordering Gitmo closed, ditching the tribunals, chumming with Raul, chumming with Chavez, bowing to the Saudi King, ditching the bust of Churchill, apologizing to the French, appeasing North Korea, kissing up to Iran, apologizing to the Turks, releasing DOJ interrogation memos to al-Qaeda free of charge, reaching out to extremist Taliban "moderates", threatening Bush lawyers with prison for having legal opinions, etc., etc., here's how lovely and peaceful the world has become:

-- "Iraq's security gains" under Bush's 'failed' surge "are beginning to reverse," McClatchy Newspapers admits, with more than 200 people blown up in Baghdad during April, which was double what it was in March, which was double what it was in February. There were 35 bombings in Baghdad during April alone. Hillary Clinton said these bombings are signs of success.

-- Kim Jong-Il responded to Obama's overtures to North Korea by test-firing a long-range, multi-stage missile. Obama angrily responded by announcing cuts to missile defense.

-- In response to Obama extending the olive branch, Iran's mullahs graciously sentenced an Iranian-American journalist to eight years in prison. To reassure everyone of its peaceful intentions, Tehran announced it's got over 7,000 advanced centrifuges cranking.

-- The Taliban has vowed to launch a new wave of attacks against the U.S. and its allies in Afghanistan. The news came as a total shock since the world adores us now.

-- In nuclear-armed Pakistan, Taliban forces are now within 60 miles of Islamabad, with security falling apart everywhere, including the area along the border with Afghanistan where binny supposedly is hiding out. Obama urgently responded by buzzing Ground Zero in New York.

-- Despite repairing America's 'irreparably' harmed image abroad, Obama has failed to get Europe to send combat troops to Afghanistan, even though Obama thought our wonderful "European allies" would be ready to fight after he showed he's just as big a wuss as they are.

Allies bailing, terrorists emboldened by a wussified America, doing terroristic things, even after Obambi asked them to stop -- who could have seen this coming?

Anyway, that's...

Looks like Obama is going to get pinched between the “moderates” and the hair on fire ACLU wingnuts again.

After the holocaust the Jews said "Never again," but after watching thousands roast to death in the Twin Towers and perish in PA and DC, the Democrats led by their terrorist provocateur say, "Do it again! Do it again and again and again!" Meanwhile, the GOP is awol.
