Bin Ladin is dead. Again. In the last ten years he has been reported “killed” at least four times. The only difference this time was that the President of the United States announced the death of the number one terrorist in the world. Above all, this time he was killed not in Tora Bora, not [...]

Joseph Margulies in the Los Angeles Times offers anyone who wants to defend the Bush administration’s embrace of torture a chilling retort. His bottom line: the administration sold out the values Americans cherish most to torture not a kingpin in the al Qaeda network, but a clerk. Margulies writes:

Some countries never acknowledge their crimes. It has been 95 years since the Turkish genocide against its Armenian population, but the Turkish government will not confess to any role in crimes that were committed. The Japanese have never admitted the terrible crimes committed throughout Northeast and Southeast Asia during World War II. And Israel has [...]

Earlier in the week, one of my aunts sent me a piece by Victor Davis Hanson, The Impending Obama Meltdown (SusanUnPC also included this article in her excellent piece, “Is Barack Obama On The Precipice Of Becoming Jimmy Carter?“). I don’t want to be premature, but maybe, just maybe, there are some journalists coming up [...]

Beyond this report, “Torture Lover John Yoo Excoriates Obama For Banning Torture” (this excellent article about the vile, truly evil Yoo (that’s his photo, right) rebuts most of the arguments that Yoo and his ilk have against ending torture) — we have this complication: Military Judge Denies Obama Request to Suspend Guantanamo Hearings, Washington Post, [...]

John hosts a provocative, fascinating show that also makes you think (a rare double offering on AM radio). Listen live here via Los Angeles AM station KFI 640, starting [...]

Counterterrorism expert Larry Johnson (and owner of this blog!) appeared on CNN today, hosted by anchor Rick Sanchez and joined by Jeffrey Toobin, CNN’s legal expert and a writer for the New Yorker. The three men discussed Obama’s end to the use of torture, and what to do about the Guantanamo detainees: BELOW, Part II [...]

Truthtelling007 has revived our NoQuarterUSA YouTube channel, and has put up parts one and two of the “Fox All Stars” who appear in the closing segments of Fox News’s “Special Report With Bret Baier.” I prefer these more unvarnished analyses to the otherwise giddy, awe-struck blather on some other news channels. This segment features criticisms [...]

According to Jonathan Martin of Politico, in his piece, “Obama: Closing Gitmo ‘A Challenge’”: Barack Obama suggested he’s not likely to actively pursue criminal charges against national security officials who were directly involved in unlawful interrogations or wire-tapping, and said it would be difficult to quickly close down Guantanamo Bay. Hold on to your hats, [...]

That was my response when I saw this headline from the BBC news after Obama’s first post (s)election interview: “Obama ‘To Rebuild Moral Stature In The World.” I’m sorry, WHAT did you say?? That OBAMA is going to rebuild our moral stature? Well, how the hell is he going to do THAT, I ask you?? [...]

Barack Obama, the presumptive presidential candidate who has hung out for over two decades with violent extremists, radical and racist preachers, and both backed and enabled the now-convicted Tony Rezko who bilked taxpayers out of millions and left poor people in uninhabitable housing he failed to renovate, said this last night in Philadelphia, a city [...]

So my significant other and I finally saw Oscar-winning documentary Taxi to the Dark Side last night, and what an experience it was. First off, many hearty congratulations to Sidney Blumenthal on being part of an Oscar-winning team. Mazel tov from your admirers and well-wishers. With those sunny words out of the way, on to [...]

Since my last post seemed to irritate the Obama acolytes on this blog, leading to some baffling comments, I’m going to make another try to cast oil upon the waters. Think of this as a do over, if you will (and I hope you do).
