Our good friends, the Pakistanis

Rick Moran "If you haven't caught HBO's compelling documentary "Terror in Mumbai" I urge you to do so. It will make you really question whether our erstwhile ally Pakistan is, in fact, a mortal enemy."

Foreign policy tests Obama-Clinton bond

Financial Times "Perhaps the most successful secretary of state of the past 20 years was James Baker, who was the closest to the president he served, George H. W. Bush. A bond between president and the secretary of state helps when it comes to executing foreign policy. While Mrs Clinton’s relationship with Mr Obama is cordial, one would be hard-pressed to call them buddies."

Eric Holder's Horrible Hearing

Mary Katharine Ham TWS "... you know what [Moussaoui] would do? He would wait until the judge left the courtroom, and the jury left, and then he would spew this terrible anger," she says. "Hateful, hateful stuff. .  .  . We're gonna have that in New York? For years?" The trial, which ended with Moussaoui's guilty plea, was notorious for its theatrics. Moussaoui represented himself and was noted for such legal arguments as, "God Bless Mohammed Atta" and "America, you lost. .  .  . I won."

Terror in Mumbai: Finally, an Unapologetic Look at Jihad

Pajamas Media Terror in Mumbai, airing [Friday], sounds as if the Weekly Standard wrote the narration and chose the images to display. It doesn’t mince words, hide the truth, or make excuses for the monsters behind last November’s attacks on the Indian metropolis. No mindless recitations of “Why do they hate us?” Catch it next time, if there is one.

Apology ideas submitted to Obama's Speechwriter

Lee Cary "Jon, this is only a short list. I can easily expand it to, say, 100 more, including apologizes(sic) to Mexico for the War of 1846, to native Americans who were tricked into selling Manhattan Island for what a medium-priced lunch in a three star restaurant costs there today, to Somalia for recently murdering three of their pirates in cold blood without a trial…and many more. But the list above should be sufficient for a few weeks. Keep up the fine speechwriting, Jon. America has much for which it needs to apologize."

Breitbart: Investigate Acorn or else (updated)

Clarice Feldman "The most recent ACORN tape of the L.A. ACORN office is far from the last tape sting Andrew Breitbart has. Attorney General Holder keeps refusing to investigate what is an obvious nationwide criminal endeavor. Breitbart now threatens that if Holder does not investigate the rest of the tapes will be released just before the 2010 election when they will do most damage to the administration:"

Bay Area not maverick enough to read Palin book

'SF Gate "Anything like that we wouldn't carry," said clerk Emily Stackhouse. "We're a small store and it would probably gross us all out. Some things you carry because of freedom of speech, but a book like that is just gross."

Travesty in New York

Charles Krauthammer "Civilian courts with broad rights of cross-examination and discovery give terrorists access to crucial information about intelligence sources and methods. That's precisely what happened during the civilian New York trial of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers. The prosecution was forced to turn over to the defense a list of two hundred unindicted co-conspirators, including the name Osama bin Laden. "Within ten days, a copy of that list reached bin Laden in Khartoum," wrote former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, the presiding judge at that trial, "letting him know that his connection to that case had been discovered."" ...."Moreover, the incentive offered any jihadi is as irresistible as it is perverse: Kill as many civilians as possible on American soil and Holder will give you Miranda rights, a lawyer, a propaganda platform -- everything but your own blog." (Emphasis added.)

Scientific scandal appears to rock climate change promoters

Clarice Feldman in AT "There's big news for climate change students. A hacker has gotten into the computers at Hadley CRU, Britain's largest climate research institute and a proponent of global warming, and seems to have uncovered evidence of substantial fraud in reporting the "evidence" on global warming; the unlawful destruction of records to cover up this fraud ,conspiracy,and deceit in the entire operation."

Palin-odes?

By Victor Davis Hanson "The best thing she can do is to go out and talk, take her licks, promote her book, fend off foes, and gain experience in the arena of ideas — while spending her evenings reading and debating wonks and politicians. The marketplace of politics then will decide her fate, not pundits or political insiders. If she swims in the next year, she’s on her way; if she sinks, she will recede from our memory."

Townhall

Justice Delayed/ Holder’s friends in the al-Qaeda bar caused the trial delays he now criticizes.

By Andrew C. McCarthy "This is chutzpah writ large. The principal reason there were so few military trials is the tireless campaign conducted by leftist lawyers to derail military tribunals by challenging them in the courts. Many of those lawyers are now working for the Obama Justice Department. That includes Holder, whose firm, Covington & Burling, volunteered its services to at least 18 of America’s enemies in lawsuits they brought against the American people."
