In my opinion, 9/11 was largely the responsibility of Jamie Gorelick.  Jamie Gorelick is pure evil. Period. Her name figures prominently in several domestic disasters. Sure, she didn’t break the levees in New Orleans, but it was the climate of non-communication between agencies that contributed to the problems in a substantial way. So yeah, some [...]

Barack Obama’s having a rough week.
First, he did the very odd thing of stating very publicly he liked President Bush’s Faith Based Initiative so much he wanted to expand it.  That drew the ire of the Reverend Jesse Jackson:
“See, Barack’s been talking down to black people on this faith-based—,” Jackson says during a break in [...]

Here’s the news:
House Democrats on Tuesday failed to overturn President Bush’s veto of a bill that would have prohibited the CIA from using waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques on terrorist suspects.
Good.
First of all, I don’t like the idea of locally politically motivated people determining national defense issues.  War is not a feel-good endeavor.  It’s [...]

A lot is being made of the Straight of Hormuz incident between the US and Iran a few days ago.  The US claims it was harassed and provoked, the Iranians said originally it never happened.  You be the judge, here IS the incident as provided by The Pentagon:

Now that the whole world can see it, [...]

Mike Huckabee had this to say in what I think is a response to the gang-rape victim in Saudi Arabia:
Every time we put our credit card in the gas pump, we’re paying so that the Saudis get rich — filthy, obscenely rich, and that money then ends up going to funding madrassas,” schools “that train [...]

There’s a lot being said over waterboarding.  Michael Mukasey’s nomination is said to be “drowning” over this one single issue.  Joe Biden and Patrick Leahy, who are prone to oppose just about anything for the sake of politics, are “concerned” that Mukasey, rather than completely cowering and denouncing PC-torture-procedure-of-the-day, stated he’d rather look at each [...]

When Jose Padilla was arrested in 2002, every conspiracy theorist and Bush-hater went ballistic.  Big Brother had finally arrived according to them.  This particular post sums it up best to me:
The case of Jose Padilla is one of the most despicable and outright un-American travesties the U.S. Government has perpetrated for a long time. It [...]

Not too terribly long ago, we had a major todo over warrantless wiretaps. First there was a lot of rhetoric circling around this “abuse of the Constitution”. In March, 2006, Russ Feingold decided to make it political. He offered a bill to the Senate to censure the President over the use of [...]

Michael Chertoff created a buzz, and has done a weak job dealing with it. Basically he insinuated there’s a growing threat from Al Qaeda due to increased chatter. What he has not done is say there is an increased threat from Al Qaeda due to increased chatter. He upped that concern by [...]
