What in the world is going on. Our own military is turning our troops.  This is disgraceful.  Of course, the Obama administration feels good about this, because Obama and his cronies want to prosecute the CIA. I am waiting for the show trials in New York.

The trials of three Navy SEALs charged with abusing terrorist prisoner Ahmed Hashim Abed -- captured in a daring action in early September -- may be delayed past the planned January 19th commencement.

The incident for which the SEALs are charged is -- as Rowan Scarborough and I reported in early December -- one which should never have resulted in charges against the SEALs.

The court martial of Matthew McCabe -- the SEAL charged with punching Abed in the stomach -- may delayed from January 19th because the prosecution wants to take a deposition of Abed in Iraq rather than producing him at the trial, according to a statement released by McCabe’s lawyer, Neal Puckett, on December 31.

Blogger threaten by TSA jack boots for writing about the Christmas Day terrorist attack.  Well well, this is a fine mess.  President Obama and his politically correct cronies are downplaying the terrorist attack and will not even call it a terrorist attack.  Shame on Obama.

At 7:00 p.m. on December 29, armed TSA agents banged on the door of photojournalist and KLM Airlines blogger Steven Frischling’s Connecticut home.

“They threatened me with a criminal search warrant and suggested they’d call up my clients and say I was a security risk if I didn’t turn over my computer to them. They said ‘we could make this difficult for you,’” Frischling told me in a telephone interview the following afternoon.

By then, TSA had removed Frischling’s computer from his home, made a copy of his hard drive, and returned the computer to him.

Are California public universities trying to keep Christian students out.  Well, it seems like the UC system may be trying to go one better.  It appears that they are trying to set Christian High School curriculum.  In a case that has wound its way through the courts, the Univeristy of California is taking on all Christian schools.

  

Well well, this is a fine mess.  What in the world are we thinking.  Why are we treating terrorists like they were adolescent shoplifters at a drug store.

This 23-year-old Nigerian is an enemy combatant whose way of war is mass murder. The questions he should have been asked as soon as he was pulled off the plane and hauled to a prison hospital are these:

Who taught you to detonate a bomb? Who sewed the underwear in which you concealed the components? Who was with you in Yemen? What are the names of those you trained with? Who helped you get on that plane? Who did you stay with on your visits to the U.S.? Who gave you cash? Who paid your bills? Where is your computer? And if you want pain medicine for those burns, you will tell us.

Good golly, Obama is on vacation.  And, his band of cronies are not watching out for America.  When a terrorist incident happens, they downplay the importance.  What were they thinking? Americans are concerned about terrorist attacks.  And, it seems that the Obama crowd wants to hide their head in the sand.    

After an embarrassing few days of obfuscations and denials about the import of the terrorist attack on Northwest Flight 253 — including Press Secretary Robert Gibbs’ and Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano’s claim on the Sunday talk shows that the system was working perfectly — on Monday administration spokesmen tried to claim they meant that after the failed attack the system immediately took action by beefing up security.
