Pajamas Media "So far, most of the Climategate attention has been on the emails in the data dump of November 19, but the emails are only about 5 percent of the total.

A Sickening Story

Powerline "Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq -- the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges...Ahmed Hashim Abed,...told investigators he was punched by his captors -- and he had the bloody lip to prove it. Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers."

He is painfully unqualified. The man never worked a real job...never served in the military, never lived one day as a proud American, and surrounds himself with America haters and agitators. These SEALs are cooked."

Obama Blunders Through Asia; Undoing Bush's years of deft diplomacy.

The Weekly Standard "The White House stated as Obama left Asia for home last week: "Overall, American leadership was absent from this region for the last several years.'' Nonsense.

An Unreasonable Decision; Eric Holder’s defenders substitute their own reasoning for his.

Andrew McCarthy "In the military system, where enemy aliens do not have the full panoply of constitutional rights, a defendant who wants his defense to have the benefit of classified discovery material must accept a military lawyer with a security clearance. We don’t have to give him direct access to national-defense information."

Where Has the Thrill Gone?

By Victor Davis Hanson "Prophets fall harder than normal politicians. When you claim that seas recede and planets cool before your presence, and that Latin mottos, new presidential candidate seals, neo-classical victory trophies, and faux-Greek temple sets are the appropriate backdrops for Your speeches, then you raise the bar a bit high. Obama is not necessarily any more partisan than a Nixon or Reagan or Bush, only just as partisan — but then he claimed something quite different."

Climategate: the final nail in the coffin of [Man-caused] Global Warming'?

UK Telegraph "If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW.

NY Daily News h/t to Jihad Watch "Now, our enemies will be given a full-blown civilian trial with all the rights of the American citizens they are sworn to kill. They will get a year or more to sift through our national defense secrets. They will have wide latitude to turn the case into a trial of the Bush administration - publicizing information about anti-terrorism tactics that leftist lawyers will exploit in their quest for war crimes prosecutions in foreign courts against current and former U.S. officials."
