Acting Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen has released the following statement: “We understand that Pakistani authorities are taking steps to ensure that Omar Sheikh remains in custody while the Supreme Court appeal seeking to reinstate his conviction continues. The separate judicial rulings reversing his conviction and ordering his release are an affront to terrorism victims everywhere. We remain grateful for the Pakistani government’s actions to appeal such rulings to ensure that he and his co-defendants are held accountable. If, however, those efforts do not succeed, the United States stands ready to take custody of Omar Sheikh to stand trial here....

Mansoor Ijaz just reported Bin Laden is in Iran as of July.

Back a few years ago there was a moderate Muslim who used to appear on Foxnews. He was actually pretty smart and was very good at predicting things going on in the intelligence world. I believe he was based out of Pakistan. Does anyone remember his name? I think it started with an M.

Storm gathers over Pakistan "coup" memo Anita Joshua Pakistan's Ambassador to the U.S. Husain Haqqani is reported to have tendered his resignation on Wednesday (American time) following allegations that he had submitted a memo on behalf of President Asif Ali Zardari to former U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen to pre-empt a possible coup in the wake of the May 2 operation against al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden. However, several hours after news broke of the resignation offer made during the night (Pakistani time), there was no word from the Government on whether it had been accepted or not....

Well, this should be good. LVRJ: Mansoor Ijaz says he is considering testing his wings against none other than Majority Leader Reid. An American Muslim of Pakistani heritage, Ijaz is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Virginia. At 46, he's the founder and president of the Crescent Investment Group of New York, which sports former CIA Director James Woolsey, Lt. Gen. James Abrahamson, and Gen. James L. Jones as members of its advisory board.

Clinton Let Bin Laden Slip Away and Metastasize Sudan offered up the terrorist and data on his network. The then-president and his advisors didn't respond.By MANSOOR IJAZ President Clinton and his national security team ignored several opportunities to capture Osama bin Laden and his terrorist associates, including one as late as last year. I know because I negotiated more than one of the opportunities. From 1996 to 1998, I opened unofficial channels between Sudan and the Clinton administration. I met with officials in both countries, including Clinton, U.S. National Security Advisor Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger and Sudan's president and...

ANOTHER WEEK, another Muslim country burns in rage over months-old Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in an unflattering light. On Friday it was Libya, and earlier in the week it was my father's homeland, Pakistan, where violent protests were scattered across the nation. Some Muslims have decided that burning cities in defense of a prophet's teachings, which none of them seem willing to practice, is preferable to participating in rational debate about the myths and realities of a religion whose worst enemies are increasingly its own adherents. This week's events should compel those of us...

On February 1, an emergency session of the International Atomic Energy Agency is being convened to discuss potential solutions for how the world should deal with Iran's nuclear mischief. Referring Iran to the United Nations for possible economic and other sanctions now appears certain to be the punitive measure of choice. But neither an IAEA referral, nor U.N. economic, military, or political sanctions, nor Russia's joint uranium-enrichment offer, nor threats of Israeli air raids against Iran's nuclear installations will change the mindset and determination of a regime intent on holding the world hostage to its nuclear blackmail through delay, obfuscation...

Financial Times Op-Ed Published: July 11 London Moderate Muslims must banish the enemy within By Mansoor Ijaz The trust that binds citizens of free societies together was violated last week when suspected Islamist terrorists set off a wave of bombs at the height of London’s morning rush hour, killing at least 52 people and injuring 700. The latest tragedy is the 17th ­bombing carried out by al-Qaeda’s ­franchisees since the September 11 2001 attacks on the US. Its deft planning and execution indicates that al-Qaeda continues to function efficiently. For the perpetrators of London’s attacks to escape the notice of...

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf is in New Delhi today to attend an India-Pakistan cricket match. Weightier matters, however, have been on his agenda since arriving in the Indian capital -- moving the peace process forward over Kashmir's future chief among them. Making Kashmir's embattled residents central to the search for peace is the best route toward a durable solution to an issue that three times has embroiled these nuclear powers in war. There has been a series of transformational events in South Asia in the last month in the run-up to Mr. Musharraf's cricket tour that makes peace genuinely attainable....

We did it... We protested churchill. There was a collection of pro-Churchill moonbats that showed up, and we protested them as well.

TROUBLE SPEAK Ward Churchill copied 'original' art piece Takes a swing at TV reporter who confronted him -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: February 26, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com Professor Ward Churchill Adding to a growing list of allegations, controversial University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill appears to have violated copyright law by claiming a reknowned artist's work as his own. Churchill, whose integrity has been challenged since news broke earlier last month of his paper blaming victims of 9-11 for the attacks, made an Indian-theme serigraph in 1981 called "Winter Attack" and printed 150 copies. But one of the buyers,...

Ward Hill as a member of the schismatic Boulder/Denver branch of AIM [American Indian Movement] as spent his whole life trashing the FBI and police. Here is what he said in his "Roosting Chickens" article. He is an anarchist who publishes his books through anarchist publishers. He wants to trash our law enforcement and intelligence organizations so that we will be destroyed. He doesn't want to make them better. He want the USA off the planet. He has often depicted the FBI and CIA as terrorist organizations.

Ward Churchill is the professor from Colorado University who called the dead in the World Trade Center "Nazis" and also said that the US deserved 9/11, and that we should have not fought back. Prof Churchill may get fired from the University of Colorado-Bolder He may appear on March 1st, time pending, if the administration approves of it.

In his FrontPage Magazine article Andrew Alexander’s Lies About the Cold War, Jamie Glazov speaks of the Soviet regime’s aggressive and expansionist designs against the West in the post-WWII period, and how de-classified Soviet sources prove that they had extensively infiltrated their agents into Western society. "...the Venona transcripts are thousands of Soviet intelligence messages that were intercepted and decoded over four decades by the FBI and the NSA (National Security Agency). Released over the past few years, these files prove that there was a large-scale Communist penetration of the U.S. government, and that Communist spies passed on valuable information...

Per Heartland with John Kasich....on foxnews. Mansoor says that the idea that Osama Bin Laden is in Waziristan was propaganda by the liberal media. He also believes that now that the US election is over..there will be much less pressure on the Pakistani President to try and find Bin laden. "Bin laden has been able to move this ease," said Mansoor. Kasich: This guy's making video's and we can't find the guy? Can you imagine putting a nuclear weapon next to a guy named Bin Laden? Mansoor: The real nexus of terror is that the Iranians have taken a strategic...

I am just sitting here in my jammies and the thought crossed my mind as to whether anyone has seen Monsoor Ijaz on FOX recently? Am I spending too much time at FR or has Monsoor simply disappeared?

On this third anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, we have much more to be thankful for than some of our political leaders would have us believe. Islamist terrorism's global scourge has been unable to launch anything more than verbal tirades at America. And while the jihadists have won successes in lesser form — the train bombings in Spain that unseated a government, hostage-taking dramas in Iraq that forced minor players from the global antiterror team, and Iran's successful effort to sow divisiveness in the West about its nuclear ambitions while harboring much of al Qaeda's senior...

Has anybody heard anything about or from Mansoor Ijaz recently? He is the American born businessman of Pakastani heritage that was a pundit on Fox and other stations at the beginning of the war on terror? He had supported and worked closely with the Billary administration, but was very critical of them after 9/11. I respected his opinions and would like to know what his current take on the situation is.
