ANOTHER BROKEN PROMISE FROM OBAMA: WILL CODDLE SUDAN'S GENOCIDAL TYRANTS
UPDATE: WE SCOOPED MEMEORANDUM AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE ENTIRE BLOGOSPHERE ON THIS.

OBAMA'S WORD SHOULD MEAN JACK-SHIT BY NOW TO EVERYONE; NYTIMES:

The Obama administration has formulated a new policy for Sudan that proposes working with that country’s government, rather than isolating it as President Obama had pledged to do during his campaign.

In an interview, President Obama’s special envoy to Sudan, Maj. Gen. J. Scott Gration, retired, said the policy, to be announced Monday by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, would make use of a mix of “incentives and pressure” to put an end to the human rights abuses that have left millions of people dead and displaced while burning Darfur into the American conscience.

... During his campaign, Mr. Obama criticized the Bush administration for doing too little to stop what has been widely condemned as genocide.

... the new administration policy is likely to ratchet up an already vociferous chorus of criticism from Capitol Hill, the capital of southern Sudan and elsewhere.

In advertisements and letters to the White House, legislators, activist groups and Sudanese rebel leaders have accused Mr. Obama of abandoning his promises to make Sudan a priority from his first day in office and to stand tough against President Bashir, who was indicted this year for crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court.

APPARENTLY, THERE'S NOT A GENOCIDAL TYRANT WHOSE GENITALS OBAMA WON'T ORALLY STIMULATE.

IF THE TYRANT IS A MUSLIM AND THE GENOCIDE IS ANTI-CHRISTIAN, THEN ALL THE BETTER - APPARENTLY.

IN THIS REGARD. OBAMA IS A LOT LIKE DHIMMI CARTER.

TURKEY IS LOST YET NO REAL LOSS

Caroline Glick writes about how Turkey is going downhill in their backtrack to Islamofascism, and even reminds of something very dumb the Bush government once did:
Once the apotheosis of a pro-Western, dependable Muslim democracy, this week Turkey officially left the Western alliance and became a full member of the Iranian axis.

It isn't that Turkey's behavior changed fundamentally in recent days. There is nothing new in its massive hostility towards Israel and its effusive solicitousness towards the likes of Syria and Hamas. Since the Islamist AKP party first won control over the Turkish government in the 2002 elections, led by AKP chairman Recip Tayyip Erdogan, the Turks have incrementally and inexorably moved the formerly pro-Western Muslim democracy into the radical Islamist camp populated by the likes of Iran, Syria, Hizbullah, al Qaida and Hamas. What made Turkey's behavior this week different from its behavior in recent months and years is that its attacks were concentrated, unequivocal and undeniable for everyone outside of Israel's scandalously imbecilic and flagellant media.

Until this week, both Israel and the US were quick to make excuses for Ankara. When in 2003 the AKP-dominated Turkish parliament prohibited US forces from invading Iraq through Kurdistan, the US blamed itself. Rather than get angry at Turkey, the Bush administration argued that its senior officials had played the diplomatic game poorly.
That's right, don't forget one of the Bush administration's poorer steps there.
Initially, this week Israel sought to continue its policy of making excuses for Turkish aggression against it. On Sunday, after Turkey disinvited the IAF from the Anatolian Eagle joint air exercise with Turkey, and NATO, senior officials like Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon and Opposition leader Tzipi Livni tried to make light of the incident claiming that Turkey remains Israel's strategic ally.

But Turkey wasted no time in making fools of them. On Monday eleven Turkish government ministers descended on Syria to sign a pile of cooperation agreements with Iran's Arab lackey. The Foreign Ministry didn't even have a chance to write apologetic talking points explaining that brazen move before Syria announced it was entering a military alliance with Turkey and would be holding a joint military exercise with the Turkish military. Speechless in the wake of Turkey's move to hold military maneuvers with its enemy just two days after it cancelled joint training with Israel, Jerusalem could think of no mitigating explanation for the move.

Tuesday was characterized by escalating verbal assaults on the Jewish state. First Erdogan renewed his libelous allegations that Israel deliberately killed children in Gaza. Then he called on Turks to learn how to make money like Jews do.

Erdogan's anti-Israel and anti-Semitic blows were followed Tuesday evening by Turkey's government-controlled TRT1 television network's launch of a new prime-time series portraying IDF forces as baby and little girl killers who force Palestinian women to deliver stillborn babies at roadblocks and line up groups of Palestinians against walls to execute them by firing squad.
Yep, that was one of the most vomit inducing stunts they could pull. The Jerusalem Post tells that no Israelis want to fly to Turkey now with the way things are going:
With a new wave of anti-Israel sentiment in Turkey, and a furious response in Israel, the once-booming tourism trade between the countries is already feeling the effects.

"I can't sell a Turkish Air ticket going via Istanbul," Mark Feldman, CEO of Zion Tours, told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday. Istanbul is a common stop-over point on the way to many other destinations.

"Nobody, but nobody, wishes to fly there... packages are very cheap, the airline is a good airline... [but] people are voting with their feet," Feldman said.

Relations with Turkey have recently been strained, due to Turkey's withdrawal from an international military exercise involving Israel, a series of verbal assaults from Turkish leaders, and the premiere of a new television series portraying IDF soldiers as murderers. The first episode of the series aired in Turkey on Tuesday evening and depicted IDF soldiers in the West Bank killing a baby and a young girl, and lining up Palestinians to be shot before a firing squad.

According to Feldman, "This [tourism decline] is getting intensified, and the television series will accelerate it. I expect this [Israeli tourist] boycott and this anger to last throughout the fall and winter."
Maybe even longer than that. But if I were him, I'd rather not rely on countries like Turkey to sell tickets for tourism. This is what happens when no serious attempt is made to make clear to a country with a horrific past like Turkey's that they must own up for their past evils and crimes and abandon all ideologies that could one day lead back to more of the same. That's why their backtrack is no real surprise, and come to think of it, their loss is yet no real loss. If they're going to boomerang to such mostrosities, it's hard for me to feel sorry to "lose" their alliance.

And if Jews in Turkey are afraid that the TV propaganda they launched will boost anti-semitic violence, which is quite likely to happen, that's exactly why they should start packing. No need to remain in a country that's backtracking to Islamofascism.

And Armenia's government made a serious mistake in accepting the deal to open wider relations with Turkey without their agreement to recognize the Armenian Holocaust in WW1, something I get the feeling much of the Armenian public is angry about, with good reason. I won't be surprised if it falls apart sooner or later, and if Turkey starts spewing similar racism against Armenians as well on their government controlled TV.

ONE MILLION PEOPLE MARCH AGAINST ABORTION IN MADRID

BBC:

More than a million people are said to have taken part in a march in Madrid to oppose government plans to liberalise Spain's abortion law.

Several dozen centre-right opposition party joined the demonstration, which was backed by Roman Catholic bishops.

Socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero wants to introduce abortion on demand.

At present, a pregnancy can only be terminated in mainly Catholic Spain under specific circumstances.

It is the latest in a series of ethical issues which have pitted the Catholic right against the government, which has legalised gay marriage and made divorce easier.

THE LEFT'S GRAMSCIAN AGENDA IS FAILING.

THE PEOPLE ARE REBELLING AGAINST THE LEFT ALL OVER THE WORLD.

THE LEFT IS THE PARTY OF DEATH: EUTHANASIA; ABORTION; APPEASING JIHAD; AND THE PARTY OF HIGHER TAXES AND REDISTRIBUTIONISM.

MOST PEOPLE EVERYWHERE WANT LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURSUE THEIR OWN DREAMS.

ONCE SECURED THE PEOPLE ARE LOATHE TO GIVE THEM UP.

WHEN THE PEOPLE WAKE UP - AS THEY ARE WITH THE TEA PARTIES HERE AND THIS ANTI-ABORTION RALLY IN MADRID - THE PEOPLE ARE UNSTOPPABLE.

BRITISH ARMY COLONEL DEFENDS IDF


UN Watch presents the testimony of a British army official, Richard Kemp, who testified at the UN Human Rights Council that Israel's army is one of the most moral in warfare history:
Mr. President, based on my knowledge and experience, I can say this: During Operation Cast Lead, the Israeli Defence Forces did more to safeguard the rights of civilians in a combat zone than any other army in the history of warfare.

Israel did so while facing an enemy that deliberately positioned its military capability behind the human shield of the civilian population.

Hamas, like Hizballah, are expert at driving the media agenda. Both will always have people ready to give interviews condemning Israeli forces for war crimes. They are adept at staging and distorting incidents.

The IDF faces a challenge that we British do not have to face to the same extent. It is the automatic, Pavlovian presumption by many in the international media, and international human rights groups, that the IDF are in the wrong, that they are abusing human rights.

The truth is that the IDF took extraordinary measures to give Gaza civilians notice of targeted areas, dropping over 2 million leaflets, and making over 100,000 phone calls. Many missions that could have taken out Hamas military capability were aborted to prevent civilian casualties. During the conflict, the IDF allowed huge amounts of humanitarian aid into Gaza. To deliver aid virtually into your enemy's hands is, to the military tactician, normally quite unthinkable. But the IDF took on those risks.

Despite all of this, of course innocent civilians were killed. War is chaos and full of mistakes. There have been mistakes by the British, American and other forces in Afghanistan and in Iraq, many of which can be put down to human error. But mistakes are not war crimes.

More than anything, the civilian casualties were a consequence of Hamas’ way of fighting. Hamas deliberately tried to sacrifice their own civilians.
I'm very glad to find a voice of sanity from the UK. It's not often you can, and I'm guessing that some of those who serve in the British military today have the most understanding.

Meanwhile, it's to be wondered whether Obama's administration will veto or abstain on this case. A UN "rights" official is backing the Gaza report. A few days ago, the Israeli daily Yisrael HaYom said that Obama may be willing to let this farce of an investigation be tolerated. Will he?

Socialism "Aims At The Formal Destruction of the Individual"

Saturday Morning Nietzsche:

Socialism is the phantastic younger brother of despotism which it wants to inherit. Socialism wants to have the fullness of state force which before only existed in despotism. However, it goes further than anything in the past because it aims at the formal destruction of the individual, who can be used to improve communities by an expedient organ of government.

MORE COMMIE-CODDLING FROM OBAMA


OBAMA WOULD LET HONDURAN INTERIM PRESIDENT MICHELETTI INTO THE USA, BUT HE'S LETTING GENOCIDAL NUCLEAR RENEGADE KIM JONG IL SEND SOMEONE.

OBAMA WILL ORALLY STIMULATE A DICTATOR BEFORE HE HELPS A DEMOCRATIC ALLY.

I THINK THAT OBAMA HAS AN ORAL FIXATION:
An oral fixation (also oral craving) is a fixation in the oral stage of development manifested by an obsession with stimulating the mouth (oral) first described by Sigmund Freud, who thought infants are naturally and adaptively in an oral stage, but if weaned too early or too late, may fail to resolve the conflicts of this stage and develop a maladaptive oral fixation.

In later life, these people may constantly "hunger" for activities involving the mouth.
THIS SEEMS TRUE FOR OBAMA: HE LOVES TALKING TO AND SYMBOLICALLY FELLATING LEFTIST TYRANTS.

TURKEY LOST TO THE WEST: THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS SCOOPS INSTAPUNDIT AND RCW BY MONTHS

  • REALLY. WE LINK TO MORE EMERGING STORIES F-I-R-S-T - BEFORE ANYONE ELSE DOES.

INSTAPUNDIT:

HOW TURKEY was lost to the West. “Once the apotheosis of a pro-Western, dependable Muslim democracy, this week Turkey officially left the Western alliance and became a full member of the Iranian axis.”

Posted at 8:40 am by Glenn Reynolds

GLICK/RCW
:
TURKEY'S BREAK with the West; its decisive rupture with Israel and its opposition to the US in Iraq and Iran was predictable. Militant Islam of the AKP variety has been enjoying growing popularity and support throughout Turkey for many years. The endemic corruption of Turkey's traditional secular leaders increased the Islamists' popularity. Given this domestic Turkish reality, it is possible that Erdogan and his fellow Islamists' rise to power was simply a matter of time.

... The Bush administration ignored the warnings of secular Turkish leaders in the country's media, military and diplomatic corps that Erdogan was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Rather than pay attention to his past attempts to undermine Turkey's secular, pro-Western character and treat him with a modicum of suspicion, after the AKP electoral victory in 2002 the Bush administration upheld the AKP and Erdogan as paragons of Islamist moderation and proof positive that the US and the West have no problem with political Islam. Erdogan's softly peddled but remorselessly consolidated Islamism was embraced by senior American officials intent on reducing democracy to a synonym for elections rather than acknowledging that democracy is only meaningful as a system of laws and practices that engender liberal egalitarianism.

In a very real sense, the Bush administration's willingness to be taken in by Erdogan paved the way for its decision in 2005 to pressure Israel to allow Hamas to participate in the Palestinian elections and to coerce Egypt into allowing the Muslim Brotherhood to participate in its parliamentary poll.

...Turkey is lost and we'd better make our peace with this devastating fact. But if we learn its lessons, we can craft policies that check the dangers that Turkey projects and prepare for the day when Turkey may decide that it wishes to return to the Western fold.

Sadr has not been officially been seen in public since June of 2007, and last appeared on the media in al-Jazeera interview in May 2008. So it is a bit of a surprise to see him suddenly appear in Turkey for two days of talks. What's he up to?

According to Turkish reports, Sadr met with Prime Minister Erdogan and President Abdullah Gul, along with other Turkish officials.

THIS IS A BAD DEVELOPMENT:

  • MOOKIE'S HIGH STATUS ON THIS VISIT IS TROUBLE FOR IRAQ'S FUTURE.

PAKISTAN ARMY BEGINS MAJOR PUSH IN SOUTH WAZIRISTAN

BBC:
Fierce fighting has broken out as Pakistan's army launches an air and ground offensive against Taliban militants in the South Waziristan area.

Local officials said 30,000 troops, backed by artillery, had moved into the region where Pakistan Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud is based.

Officials said the Taliban were resisting as troops mobilised from the north, east, and west.

A curfew was imposed in the region before the offensive began.

There have been several co-ordinated Taliban attacks in recent days, killing more than 150 people in several Pakistan cities.

Local officials said there were dozens of casualties as both sides used heavy weapons.
NYT:
Pakistan has fought three unsuccessful campaigns since 2001 in the region, which is the nerve-center for Pakistani insurgents fighting the U.S.-backed government. It is also a major base for foreign militants planning attacks on American and NATO forces in Afghanistan and on targets in the West.

After months of aerial bombing, troops Saturday moved into the region from several directions, heading to the insurgent bases of Ladha and Makeen among other targets, intelligence and military officials said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic or because they were not allowed to brief the media.

They said the operation was expected to last around two months.

ANOTHER BROKEN PROMISE FROM OBAMA: WILL CODDLE SUDAN'S GENOCIDAL TYRANTS

UPDATE: WE SCOOPED MEMEORANDUM AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE ENTIRE BLOGOSPHERE ON THIS.

OBAMA'S WORD SHOULD MEAN JACK-SHIT BY NOW TO EVERYONE; NYTIMES:

The Obama administration has formulated a new policy for Sudan that proposes working with that country’s government, rather than isolating it as President Obama had pledged to do during his campaign.

In an interview, President Obama’s special envoy to Sudan, Maj. Gen. J. Scott Gration, retired, said the policy, to be announced Monday by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, would make use of a mix of “incentives and pressure” to put an end to the human rights abuses that have left millions of people dead and displaced while burning Darfur into the American conscience.

AMERICA'S DESCENT INTO DEPRAVITY CONTINUES: PATRIOT RUSH IS OUT, BUT FERGIE IS OKAY WITH THE NFL - AND ALSO AVON


WZ:

So, Rush is unacceptable but a person that sings THESE lyrics are okay? Waiting for NOW to protest in 3..2..1.. (Yeah, I know)

AP - Fergie may soon be on the Miami Dolphins' bandwagon as a limited partner.

NFL owners meeting in Boston this week approved the Black Eyed Peas singer as a part owner, but the team has yet to complete an agreement with her, Dolphins chief executive officer Mike Dee said in an e-mail Tuesday.

Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas already have a marketing partnership with the Dolphins. She wears a pink Dolphins jersey in a campaign this month for breast cancer awareness.

Team owner Stephen Ross has brought six other celebrities into the fold this year. The first partnership was with singer Jimmy Buffett. Musicians Gloria and Emilio Estefan and Marc Anthony and tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams subsequently bought small shares of the team.

HERE ARE THE LYRICS BY FERGIE:

Fergie singing chorus:

Lets have sex. Some real good sex.
Some real hott sex.
Some sexxxy sex. Lets just have sex!

(Instrumental Break)

Verse 1:
*Moans and Groans*

APPARENTLY AVON THINKS THIS IS A GOOD PERSON TO DO A FRAGRANCE WITH:

REUTERS:

Avon calls on singer Fergie for new fragrance Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie is working with Avon Products Inc to develop a perfume that will debut next year.

The singer will be "intimately involved" in developing the fragrance, packaging, name and campaign, according to Avon, the world's largest direct seller of cosmetics.

The perfume will be sold outside of the United States in August 2010, and three months later in the United States in time for the holiday season.

Fergie's partnership with the company will kick off this month, when she performs at the Avon Foundation for Women Annual Gala Event in New York on Oct. 27.


I THINK THE NFL AND AVON MIGHT AS TEAM UP WITH MACKENZIE PHILLIPS AND KEVIN JENNINGS!

IF YOU DISLIKE WHAT THE NFL AND AVON ARE DOING, THEN STOP BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS.

AS DENMARK DE-EMPHASIZES WIND POWER, GRANHOLM AND THE LEFT HEAD INTO THE WIND

Granholm's energy answer isn't blowing in the wind

In her State of the State speech, Gov. Jennifer Granholm outlined a restructuring of Michigan's energy infrastructure that aims to meet this industrial state's future energy needs with wind power.

The plan is radical but hardly new.


The governor's policy closely parallels the failed experiment of Denmark
- a similar peninsular water state that has invested billions of dollars in wind generation during the last 25 years.

In an interview with The Detroit News after her address, the governor was curiously unaware of Denmark's experience, even though she toured Scandinavian countries in 2007 and cited them as models of an alternative energy future.

But it is crucial that the state understand the lessons of Denmark and the very real limitations of wind power.


With close union ties, the governor is an advocate for government work programs.

She is also a global warming true believer.

During her tenure in office, she has eschewed fundamental economic reforms and instead spent heavily on road and infrastructure projects while trying to marry her green and labor constituencies under central planning schemes (a new law she pushed mandates 10 percent renewables by the year 2015) to save the planet and guarantee jobs at the same time.


... Now, with Michigan reeling from a nation-leading 10.6 percent unemployment rate, the governor is proposing her boldest scheme yet.

She devoted the bulk of her State of the State address to an energy policy that would wall off this state from America's cheapest energy source, coal, and instead build thousands of windmills to power its industrial infrastructure.


In the 1970s, Denmark's government also experiment with ridding itself of imported energy sources, namely coal.

Today, Denmark's energy prices are the highest in Europe at a staggering 30 cents per kilowatt-hour - more than three times the cost of Michigan's electric rates (about 8 cents per kWh), which are already high among its Midwestern neighbors.
The current Danish government has cut back drastically on putting up wind mills in Denmark - ther are only offshore projects...

They've realized that the only way to make money on wind is to export the turbines to suckers in other countries!!!

OBAMA DEFICIT BREAKS ALL RECORDS - AND IT'S GROWING!

AL QAEDA WINS RELEASE OF GITMO INFO FROM UK COURT

BBC: Ban on 'torture documents' lifted

The High Court has ruled that US intelligence documents containing details of the alleged torture of a former UK resident can be released.

Ethiopian-born Binyam Mohamed, 31, who spent four years in Guantanamo Bay, claims British authorities colluded in his torture while he was in Morocco.

The UK government denies allegations of collusion and says it will appeal against the court's judgement.

It had stopped judges publishing the claims on national security grounds.

The key document in the case is a summary of abuse allegations that US intelligence officers shared with their counterparts in London.

Any publication of the material will be delayed until an appeal takes place.

When the High Court gave its original judgement on the case last year, a seven paragraph summary of Mr Mohamed's torture claims was removed on the orders of Foreign Secretary David Miliband.


I HOPE AL QAEDA LOSES THE APPEAL.

WOULD THE COURTS HAVE AWARDED THE NAZIS HABEUS CORPUS IN WW2?

NO, THEY DIDN'T.

WOULD THE COURTS HAVE GIVEN THE NAZIS INTEL IN WW2?

NO.

WHY HAVE THINGS CHANGED?

THE LEFT IS IN CONTROL OF TH COURTS AND THE MEDIA.

WHICH IS WHY I HAVE LONG ARGUED THE FOLLOWING:

  • TO DEFEAT THE JIHADISTS ABROAD WE MUST FIRST DEFEAT THE LEFTISTS AT HOME.
  • TO MAKE JIHADISM HISTORY WE MUST MAKE LEFTISM HISTORY.

IT'S A TOUGH TASK, BUT DOING SO WILL ALSO YIELD TWO OTHER HUGE BENEFITS:

  1. IT WILL ELIMINATE CLIMATE ALARMISM, AND
  2. IT WILL ELIMINATE POVERTY.

GODSPEED.

NOTE: JUSTICE SCALIA WROTE A BRILLIANT DISSENT ABOUT THE IMPORTANT ISSUES RAISED WHEN WE GIVE ALIEN ENEMIES TOO MANY RIGHTS - IN THE BOUMEDIENE CASE:

EXCERPTS:
Today, for the first time in our Nation's history, the Court confers a constitutional right to habeas corpus on alien enemies detained abroad by our military forces in the course of an ongoing war….

The writ of habeas corpus does not, and never has, run in favor of aliens abroad; the Suspension Clause thus has no application, and the Court's intervention in this military matter is entirely ultra vires.

The game of bait-and-switch that today's opinion plays upon the Nation's Commander in Chief will make the war harder on us.


It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed.


That consequence would be tolerable if necessary to preserve a time-honored legal principle vital to our constitutional Republic.


But it is this Court's blatant abandonment of such a principle that produces the decision today.


The President relied on our settled precedent in Johnson v. Eisentrager (1950), when he established the prison at Guantanamo Bay for enemy aliens.

[I]n response [to the Court’s 2006 ruling in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld], Congress, at the President's request, quickly enacted the Military Commissions Act, emphatically reasserting that it did not want these prisoners filing habeas petitions.


It is therefore clear that Congress and the Executive—both political branches—have determined that limiting the role of civilian courts in adjudicating whether prisoners captured abroad are properly detained is important to success in the war that some 190,000 of our men and women are now fighting….


... What competence does the Court have to second-guess the judgment of Congress and the President on such a point?


None whatever.


But the Court blunders in nonetheless.


Henceforth, as today's opinion makes unnervingly clear, how to handle enemy prisoners in this war will ultimately lie with the branch that knows least about the national security concerns that the subject entails.

What drives today's decision is neither the meaning of the Suspension Clause, nor the principles of our precedents, but rather an inflated notion of judicial supremacy.


The Court says that if the extraterritorial applicability of the Suspension Clause turned on formal notions of sovereignty, "it would be possible for the political branches to govern without legal constraint" in areas beyond the sovereign territory of the United States.


That cannot be, the Court says, because it is the duty of this Court to say what the law is. It would be difficult to imagine a more question-begging analysis.


… Our power "to say what the law is" is circumscribed by the limits of our statutorily and constitutionally conferred jurisdiction. And that is precisely the question in these cases: whether the Constitution confers habeas jurisdiction on federal courts to decide petitioners' claims.


It is both irrational and arrogant to say that the answer must be yes, because otherwise we would not be supreme.

Putting aside the conclusive precedent of Eisentrager, it is clear that the original understanding of the Suspension Clause was that habeas corpus was not available to aliens abroad, as Judge Randolph's thorough opinion for the court below detailed.


It is entirely clear that, at English common law, the writ of habeas corpus did not extend beyond the sovereign territory of the Crown.

Today the Court warps our Constitution in a way that goes beyond the narrow issue of the reach of the Suspension Clause, invoking judicially brainstormed separation-of-powers principles to establish a manipulable "functional" test for the extraterritorial reach of habeas corpus (and, no doubt, for the extraterritorial reach of other constitutional protections as well).


It blatantly misdescribes important precedents, most conspicuously Justice Jackson's opinion for the Court in Johnson v. Eisentrager.


It breaks a chain of precedent as old as the common law that prohibits judicial inquiry into detentions of aliens abroad absent statutory authorization.


And, most tragically, it sets our military commanders the impossible task of proving to a civilian court, under whatever standards this Court devises in the future, that evidence supports the confinement of each and every enemy prisoner.


The Nation will live to regret what the Court has done today.



THE COURTS HAVE NO BUSINESS DECIDING VITAL WAR ISSUES IN WAR-TIME.

GIVING OUR ENEMIES TOO MANY RIGHTS IS PLAYING RIGHT IN TO THEIR HANDS.

APPARENTLY, THE LEFTIST JUDGES ANS LAWYERS DON'T CARE.

LIKE OUR JIHADIST ENEMIES ABROAD, THE LEFTISTS AT HOME HAVE GREAT DISDAIN FOR OUR LEGAL TRADITIONS AND HAVE SOUGHT FOR DECADES - USING WHATEVER LEGAL MEANS AVAILABLE - TO SHACKLE POUR NATION AND OUR CONSTITUTION TO FOREIGN RULES WE HAVE NEVER RATIFIED OR VOTED ON AND WHICH DIMINISH OUR INALIENABLE RIGHTS AND OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND OUR ABILITY TO DEF ND OURSELVES.

A MOMENT OF TRUTH IS COMING: WILL OBAMA VETO A UNSCR BASED ON THE "GOLDSTONE REPORT", OR ABSTAIN?

If the report comes to a U.N. Security Council vote, the U.S. is expected to veto any call for ICC involvement or similar action against Israel.


Will Obama really use the veto to protect Israel, or will he "abstain"?

The 3-minute video that may prove Iran's nuclear intentions

From Haaretz:

VIENNA - The last place you would expect to hear the apocalyptic soundtrack of the movie "Chariots of Fire" would be Iran. This 1981 film recounts the story of a Jewish British athlete and his teammate, a devout Christian, who refuses to compete on Sunday, his day of rest. But this soundtrack accompanies a highly secret video, produced by Iranian nuclear scientists, but never screened before the general public - a three-minute film depicting a computerized simulation of the detonation of a warhead, most likely a nuclear one. Whether it was intentional or merely coincidental, the nameless Iranian editor decided to use the soundtrack of the British blockbuster to accompany the video.

This film was, however, screened on February 26, 2008, in the fourth-floor conference room of Building C at the Vienna headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) overlooking the Danube. The host of the screening was Finnish nuclear physicist Olli Heinonen, the IAEA's deputy director general and head of its inspection department, officially called the Department of Safeguards. In attendance were representatives of the 35 member states that constitute the organization's board of governors. It was one of the most important meetings ever held by the IAEA.

BUNKER BUSTERS FOR PAKISTAN?

There has been a great deal of speculation regarding the accelerated delivery of US bunkerbusting ordnance. Some think they are meant for Iran, or North Korea...or perhaps even Osama bin Laden. Well I am afraid the bombs may be used to neutralize the Pakistani nuclear arsenal before it falls into the hands of the Taleban. Stay tuned...

AMERICANS SHOULD NOT BE STRIPPED OF THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES

From Dr. Paul Williams:


I am a United States citizen on trial in Canada for exposing a situation at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario that threatened the lives and welfare of Canadians and Americans alike. My book "The Dunces of Doomsday," published in the U.S. by Cumberland House, revealed potential terrorist threats from al- Qaeda affiliates at McMaster. The university is suing me for libel, demanding $4 million in punitive and aggregated damages.

Unlike American libel laws where the plaintiff must prove that what said about him is not true and it was said in malice, Canadian libel laws, like the British, put the burden of proof on the defendant, not on the plaintiff.

What I wrote and said about McMaster from my home in Pennsylvania falls well within the standards of responsible journalism. Nevertheless, I have been dragged into court in Toronto, Canada, to be tried under Canadian law that lacks the U.S. Constitutional protection of free speech.

This ordeal has damaged my professional career, depleted my life savings, and placed me in financial jeopardy.

I am not alone.

Other writers have suffered a similar fate, including Joe Sharkey, a New Jersey-based freelance business journalist is being sued for reporting about a plane crash he survived over the Amazon. A woman who claims Sharkey offended the “dignity” of Brazil by criticizing its air-traffic control is suing him for libel in Brazil. This despite the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board’s conclusion that the Brazilian air traffic control was responsible to the crash. She demands $500,000 and apologies in national and international media outlets.

Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld, whose criticism of a Khalid bin Mahfouz, a Saudi billionaire who funded al Qaeda, has resulted in a judgment by default in British court against her for allegedly defaming the Saudi. She was ordered to pay $250,000, apologize in international media outlets and destroy her book: Funding Evil; How Terrorism Is Financed – and How to Stop It.

The same ordeal can befall all investigative reporters in the U.S. unless federal legislators pass The Free Speech Protection Act 2009, which is now before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Last week my pretrial took place in Toronto. It was not a pleasant experience. My Canadian lawyers and the appointed mediator spent seven hours attempting to coerce me into signing an apology to McMaster University for stating the truth. They maintained that none of my statements were factual according to Canadian libel laws.

I pointed to the fact that McMaster was home to several al-Qaeda members who plotted to blow up Canada’s Parliament and behead its prime minister. In fact, a week before my pretrial took place, the guilty plea of a McMaster student, Saad Gaya, to charges of terrorism captured the headlines of Canadian newspapers. Gaya was one of eighteen al-Qaeda affiliates also charged with planning to blow up trucks loaded with bombs at the Toronto Stock Exchange, the Toronto office of the Canadian Security intelligence Service and a military base on Ontario. He was the eleventh to be convicted. The remaining seven members of the group, known as the “Toronto 18,” remain in prison awaiting trial. Such statements of fact have done little to persuade McMaster to drop the lawsuit, and my trial is set for April 2010.

In Canada, as in England and Brazil, truth is not an absolute defense.

No American citizen should be stripped of his/her Constitutional rights by foreign countries or foreign entities.

Congress should act immediately to pass the Free Speech Protection Act 2009.

A skeptic got it right

Warmist theories about CO2 generated NO accurate predictions of 21st century climate changes but a skeptic basing his predictions solely on long-term regularities in ocean current changes scored several bullseyes. Accurate predictions are of course the acid test of any scientific theory. An interesting communication and an interesting document from distinguished meteorologist Bill Gray below:

At NOAA's 21st Climate Workshop in Huntsville, AL in 1996 I presented a paper titled "Forecast of Global Circulation Characteristics in the Next 25-30 Years." We are now 13 years along the way to this paper's verification. All the major features that were predicted are on target.

This 4-page paper's 25-30 year prediction (see below) was based on the known and characteristic multi-decadal changes in the Atlantic Ocean's circulation. It assumed a multi-decadal continuation of the positive change in the Atlantic Ocean Thermohaline Circulation (THC) which occurred in 1995. These changes in the Atlantic Ocean THC were predicted to continue and to result in the following changes in global weather features which have taken place during 1996-2009 in comparison to the similar observed parameter circulation features during the earlier 25-year period of 1970-1994.

1. More Northern Hemisphere blocking patterns - weaker North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)

2. Fewer El Nino activity (cooler ENSO conditions)

3. Increased Sahel rainfall

4. Much more Atlantic major hurricane activity

5. Small decrease in global mean surface temperature.

These and other predicted conditions are, so far, occurring and beginning to lead to verification of my forecast. This 1996 forecast was made from changing ocean circulation features alone. CO2 increases played no role in this forecast. Known natural climate features were unquestionably the dominant processes in causing such parameter alterations. If CO2 gas increases played any role at all its influence was in the noise level and undetectable. Please read the write-up of 13 years ago:

COLDEST OCTOBER IN CHICAGO SINCE 1989 - WHEN BARRY MET MICHELLE

DESPITE HIGHER GLOBAL CO2 LEVELS, IT'S FUHREEKIN' COLD!
Chicago remains mired in the chilliest early October in 22 years.

Its opening 14 days -- with an average temperature of 47.6 degrees -- are well below the 57.3 degrees observed during the same period over the last 138 years -- and chilly enough to rank third coldest since 1871. The only Oct. 1 to 14 periods that have been colder occurred in 1876 (46 degrees) and 1987 (47.5).


Thursday likely will be the 18th straight day of below-normal temperatures and the sixth day highs fail to reach 50 degrees, establishing a record for the most early-season daytime readings that fail to break out of the 40s. With Friday and Saturday predicted to stay in the 40s, the string is likely to end up at seven days, which doesn't usually happen for another five weeks.

UH-OH: FORECLOSURES INCREASING, NOT DECLINING

WASH POST: Foreclosures Continued to Rise in 3rd Quarter as Banks Worked on Backlog

The number of homeowners pulled into the foreclosure crisis increased by 5 percent during the third quarter as a government program to help borrowers stay in their homes struggled to gain traction, according to RealtyTrac data released Thursday.

RealtyTrac found that more than 925,000 borrowers received a foreclosure filing, which can range from a default notice to a bank repossession, between July and September. That is up 23 percent from the comparable period last year.

The increase reflects an acceleration in the foreclosure crisis as more homeowners fall behind on payments and reflects the fact that banks are still working their way through a backlog of delinquent borrowers, according to RealtyTrac, which compiles data on more than 90 percent of U.S. households.

Many banks delayed foreclosures earlier this year to put in place a federal foreclosure prevention program. But by the third quarter, bank repossessions had resumed their climb, according to the RealtyTrac data. The number of homes taken back by lenders increased 21 percent during the third quarter to about 238,000, according to RealtyTrac.

MCCAIN:
“The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that Americans will face higher health insurance premiums while waiting four years for the much hailed reform proposals to begin.

This budgetary gimmickry is how the President and the Senate Democrats claim the proposal is under $1 trillion and slightly reduces the deficit over ten years.

This is a joke: ten years of taxes but only five and a half years of implementation.

To get the true ten year cost of implementation, you must look at the ten years beginning 2013.

Using the CBO numbers, we are told that the proposal spends $1.8 trillion.

'Syrian long-range missiles in Lebanon

Syria has transferred nearly a quarter of its long- and medium-range missile arsenal to Hizbullah, the Kuwaiti al Jarida reported on Thursday.

According to the report, security sources in Jerusalem told the paper that the missiles, now held by Hizbullah, could hit every part of Israel.

Iranian and Syrian officers were reportedly training the Hizbullah operatives in using the new missiles and in operating early warning systems intended to alert the group of Israeli jets.

WILL CHINESE DRYWALL START THE NEXT BIG WAVE OF FORECLOSURES?

AP:
James and Maria Ivory's dreams of a relaxing retirement on Florida's Gulf Coast were put on hold when they discovered their new home had been built with Chinese drywall that emits sulfuric fumes and corrodes pipes. It got worse when they asked their insurer for help -- and not only was their claim denied, but they've been told their entire policy won't be renewed.

Thousands of homeowners nationwide who bought new houses constructed from the defective building materials are finding their hopes dashed, their lives in limbo. And experts warn that cases like the Ivorys', in which insurers drop policies or send notices of non-renewal based on the presence of the Chinese drywall, will become rampant as insurance companies process the hundreds of claims currently in the pipeline.

At least three insurers have already canceled or refused to renew policies after homeowners sought their help replacing the bad wallboard. Because mortgage companies require homeowners to insure their properties, they are then at risk of foreclosure, yet no law prevents the cancellations.

''This is like the small wave that's out on the horizon that's going to continue to grow and grow until it becomes a tsunami,'' said Florida attorney David Durkee, who represents hundreds of homeowners who are suing builders, suppliers and manufacturers over the drywall. ''This is going to become critical mass very shortly.''

BRACE YOURSELVES.
During the height of the U.S. housing boom, with building materials in short supply, American construction companies imported millions of pounds of Chinese-made drywall because it was abundant and cheap. An Associated Press analysis of shipping records found that more than 500 million pounds of Chinese gypsum board was imported between 2004 and 2008 -- enough to have built tens of thousands of homes. They are heavily concentrated in the Southeast, especially Florida.
IT'S COMING... THANK YOU CHINA!

Britain's Channel 4 to screen documentary that asks whether IQ is linked to race

Channel 4 also aired an "incorrect" programme on climate change. Excerpt below from the mainstream "Daily Mail"

Channel 4 is facing a race controversy after deciding to give a platform to scientists who claim that white people are more intelligent than those who are black. A documentary, fronted by former BBC News correspondent Rageh Omaar, will interview professors who claim brain power is linked to racial grouping. It will include claims that the most intelligent people in the world are North-East Asians from parts of China, Japan and North and South Korea.

The Australian Aborigines will be said to have the lowest average IQ.

The broadcaster has decided to air the comments, which will be abhorrent to many of its viewers, as part of a series of programmes about race and science, aimed at busting 'science's last taboo'.

Bosses at the channel claim the season will strongly challenge these opinions and 'explode' the myth that science can support ideas of racial superiority.

But the decision to air the issue at all could prove incendiary and is in danger of throwing the channel into another race row. The broadcaster was inundated with complaints in 2007 after it aired the alleged racist bullying of Shilpa Shetty on Celebrity Big Brother.

To promote the series, Channel 4 has altered photos of Baroness Thatcher, The Beatles, England's 1966 World Cup winning football team and U.S. President Barack Obama to change their racial appearances.

In Race and Intelligence: Science's Last Taboo, Omaar talks to academics who believe that aspects of the human brain are linked to race.

He interviews Richard Lynn, emeritus professor at the University of Ulster, who has amassed data which he believes shows there is a global league table of intelligence between the races. He is seen claiming that 'the top rate' are North-East Asians who have an average IQ of 105, followed by North and Central Europeans with a score of 100.

He claims American Indians have an IQ of 87, and that sub-Saharan Africans 'pretty well on either side of the equator' have IQs of around 70. He says Aborigines have the lowest scores of around 65. He says: 'When sub-Saharan Africans come and live - and even several generations of them come to live - in European or North American countries, their IQs increase because of course their environment is improved, their schooling is better and their nutrition is better. 'But their IQs don't rise up to the same level as Europeans.'

British-born J Philippe Rushton, a psychology professor at the University of Western Ontario in Canada, is also interviewed. Professor Rushton claims the differences between black and white and East Asian brains is due to general intelligence. He says black people have smaller-sized brains than white people and are not as intelligent as white people.

In the programme a range of academics line up to criticise the views of the two men.

Oona King, Channel 4's head of diversity, said the programme will show conclusively 'that you cannot link race to IQ'. Miss King, a former Labour MP, added: 'Even people who know the race agenda inside out will learn a lot from these programmes.' She called for a 'heated debate' about race, saying: 'This series will change the terms of the debate.'

Dr Watson sparked controversy in 2007 after claiming in a newspaper interview that black people were less intelligent. His views prompted London's Science Museum to scrap a planned talk by him, saying the opinions went 'beyond the point of acceptable debate'. The 79-year-old American geneticist - who does not appear in the show - said he was 'inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa' because 'all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really'. He added that he hoped that everyone was equal, but then alleged that 'people who have to deal with black employees find this not true'. In the interview he claimed genes responsible for creating differences in human intelligence could be found within a decade.

Dr Watson was hailed as achieving one of the greatest single scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century when he worked at Cambridge in the 1950s and 1960s, forming part of the team which discovered the structure of DNA. He has been director of the Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory on Long Island, in the U.S., a world leader in research into cancer and genetics, for 50 years.

Dr Watson has been at the heart of several scientific furores over the years. He once reportedly said that a woman should have the right to abort her unborn child if tests could determine it would be homosexual. He has suggested a link between skin colour and sex drive, proposing a theory that black people have higher libidos. And he also claimed that beauty could be genetically manufactured, saying: 'People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would be great.'

In his book, Avoid Boring People: Lessons from a Life in Science, he writes that 'there is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. 'Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so'.

Omaar also said in a clip of the show that views society found offensive 'are not defeated by being ignored'.

RELIAPUNDIT ADDS:

Most studies show that races do differently on the IQ tests. This is all the more reason NOT to use race for screening purposes or for quotas of ANY sort; PEOPLE SHOULD BE JUDGED WITHOUT ANY REGARD FOR THEIR RACE OR CREED, BUT BASED ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL QUALITIES - AS MARTIN LUTHER KING JR SAID, "BASED ON THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER".

Additionally, it is important to note that MANY leftists have high IQ, so high IQ is no guarantee for clear or even good thinking.

ALSO: many valuable and important skills and talents are not measurable or measured by IQ: music skills; art skills; geo-spatial skills, courage, and so on.

Louis Armstrong was most certainly a genius, as was Ellington and Mingus to name just 3 musical geniuses who were black.

A world without all types of talents andall kinds of geniuses would be less rich and human history and humanity's cultures have been enriched by people with a huge variety of abilities and skills and different types of geniuses.

High IQ people have not solved all our problems - and many have contributed greatly to them.

BOTTOM-LINE: IT TAKES ALL KINDS - AND WE SHOULD JUDGE EACH OTHER BASED ON INDIVIDUAL ABILITIES AND NOT MEMBERSHIP IN A RACE OR PARTY - OR ON IQ ALONE.



NOTE FROM JR: Reliapundit is of course completely correct in his comments above. The facts are compatible with a wide range of policy positions. It is important to know what the facts are, however. A policy based on a misapprehension of the facts will not work.

Eppur si muove, as Galileo said
