WHAT HARRY REID'S NEW FRIENDS ARE REALLY LIKE

Not to be outdone by Nancy Pelosi's Logan-Act-flouting demarche of appeasement and dhimmitude before Syria's boy ophthalmologist dictator, Harry Reid and several of his equally defeatist cronies decided to practice their own private diplomacy of surrender with Iran's U.N. Ambassador. Gateway has the details.

As if you didn't know already, what are Harry Reid's new comrades in his struggle against Chimpy McBushhitlerhalliburton really like? The BBC has the details. (Hat tip: Charles Johnson.)

Iran's Supreme Court overturned the convictions of a death squad of serial murderers, because the 18 or 20 people they murdered were "morally corrupt."

Up to 18 people were killed in just one year, but only five of the murders were tried in court.

According to their confessions, the killers put some of their victims in pits and stoned them to death. Others were suffocated. One man was even buried alive while others had their bodies dumped in the desert to be eaten by wild animals.

The accused, who were all members of an Islamic paramilitary force, told the court their understanding of the teachings of one Islamic cleric allowed them to kill immoral people if they had ignored two warnings to stop their bad behaviour.

But there was no judicial process to determine the guilt of the victims in these cases.

The group even killed a young couple they thought were involved in sex outside marriage, but media reports say the couple were either married or engaged to be married.

Lawyers for the victims' families say the Supreme Court has five times overturned the verdict of a lower court that found all the men guilty of murder.

Now the Supreme Court is reported to have acquitted all the killers of the charge of murder on the grounds that their victims were all morally corrupt.

Such is the regime which Harry Reid thinks should be trusted with nuclear weapons. Such is the regime Harry Reid thinks should be trusted with Iraq's security.

Such is the sharia law which "moderates" like CAIR wish to impose on the United States of America.
