CHAS FREEMAN IS OUT

The man who would be spokesperson for Saudi Arabia and communist China has declined the position offered to him on the National Intelligence Council (Hat tip: Yid With Lid and The Jawa Report). That's very good, because Freeman was a real blame-the-victim type, and he even said:

What 9/11 showed is that if we bomb people, they bomb back.

Which completely obscures whatever evil the "people" he speaks of committed. He would be a complete disaster if he were appointed, and that's why it's good that he's stepped down. The controversy raised over his appointment, which I'm sure he wanted, fortunately had an impact.

NEVER FORGET 9-11

It's now at least 7 years since the disaster. Here's an article (via Michelle Malkin) about ordinary citizens doing their part to ensure that such disasters don't happen again.

Also remember: Flight 93.

It's also important to read this article that tells about how academics and "people-on-the-street" in the Arab/Islamic world still blame Jews/Israel as well as US foreign policy for the 9-11 terrorist attacks, and don't believe that al Qaeda was responsible.

YOU GO NEWT!!

The 9/11 conspiracy nuts finally get the answer they deserve. Newt Gingrich doesn't beat around the bush and tells it like it is when questioned by the "truthers". You only need to watch about the first minute and a half of the video to see the good part.
