Specifically, the majority Supreme Court members who approved of this “pacifistic” trend -like their recent habaes corpus ruling- should be called on to resign as a show of humility.

Since their dangerously-unreal assessment of this war has now been proven to spread terror and cost lives.

They’re mentally unconnected with the seriousness of the threat we face daily, and so are unfit to serve.

They have become caricatures.

It’s not gratuitous. Sometimes there’s relevant commentary in those posts, as there is in my post explaining who al-Ajmi is. If you want to go to the external source, you have the option of doing that by clicking the source in the earlier post. Why on earth would I deprive readers of needed context when I went to such effort to compile it before?

And then there’s google, et al. People are always depending on someone else to do all the work for them.

*kissie kissie*

Because that way they’ll become wards of the Iranian state instead of the Israeli state? Generally when Israel makes these “A Single Israeli Boy Is Worth 1,000 Palestinians” swaps, the released terrorists and murderers have to sign oaths saying……

1. Al Ajmi denied participating in Jihad.

2. Al Ajmi asserted the group he went to study with, is a peaceful group.

3. Al Ajmi stated he went to Pakistan to learn and memorize the Koran.

4. Al Ajmi denied participating in firefights, and he denied admitting he participated in firefights.

5. In response to the allegation that he fled through Tora Bora Al Ajmi said he had never heard of Tora Bora.

6. “I am not an enemy combatant. I said this only because I was under pressure and threats and suffering.”

7. “I don’t blame the Americans for what they did by bringing us over here and detaining us over here. If I were in their place I would go out and look for terrorism all over the world like they did but I have a feeling it is going to be a just decision by the Americans. That is my feeling. I would do the same thing if I were in their shoes. I would capture the bad people, the terrorists and bring them over here and detain them.”

8. In response to the recommendation that Al Ajmi was regarded as a continuing threat to the USA, Al Ajmi replied:
“You are the judge and you are the president. You are everything here. You can do whatever you wish. I never meant harm to anybody. I never attacked anybody. I don’t have a grudge against the Americans. It is up to you. You are the president and you will do whatever you wish.”

9. In response to the allegation that “In August 2004 Al Ajmi wanted to make sure that when the case went in front of the tribunal, that the tribunal members know that he is now a Jihadist, and enemy combatant and that he would kill as many Americans as he possibly can,” Ajmi replied:
“That is impossible that I would say such a thing. How could I fight the Americans? They were with me in the military in Kuwait. I would’ve fought them in Kuwait not here. How can I fight them here? How can I try to kill them here?”

10. Board Member: “Al Ajmi I believe that your dedication to your religion is genuine, what direction or path will that dedication take should you be released?”
Al Ajmi: “For peace.”

That was Chapter One. You write the rest of the book.

Obama’s DoJ chief (Al Sharpton) throws the terrorist into the hastily set up system of gulags along with the rest of us “distractions.”

Glad it’s not just me thinking the world is going insane.

Anna on June 26, 2008 at 1:08 PM

Nope, you’re not alone Anna and unfortunately the world is getting more insane by the minute. These are difficult and troubling times for our world and it seems the insane asylum inmates have taken over!

Terrorism is a crime, US courts have worldwide jurisdiction, and it’s time these people were brought to justice in a court of law, tried and locked up for a long time.

I don’t agree, terrorism stopped being a crime to be treated as a police action once AQ (Osama et al) declared war on the USA both in their statements and especially when they attacked a US war ship (the USS Cole) and attacked us on 9-11, both clearly acts of war not terrorism.

This is a war not a police action and our response to our enemies should be in line with a war doctrine not a police action. Continuing to treat this as a police action is hampering our ability to defeat a determined enemy and I’m getting fed up with our government and the left-tards treating this as a police action.

I’m still waiting for the time when our leaders (especially those on the left) finally wake up before it’s too late and we get hit again, unfortunately I don’t see it happening until something worse than 9-11 happens.

Seriously, what will it take to finally get our government andthe left to treat/view this as war and not a police action, a mushroom cloud over one of our cities where hundreds of thousands or a mllion people die?

Again, continuing to view this as a police action and not a war is the definition of idiocy, absurdity, and insanity!

That there’s some funny stuff.

This practice sure keeps your readers inside your own pages, but it does NOTHING to buttress your points or inform your readers more fully.

Click on the picture.

You guys are starting to EXCLUDE links to the outside articles you are talking about (like you did in THIS posting on the terrorist) and only linking INSIDE the HotAir blog. This practice sure keeps your readers inside your own pages, but it does NOTHING to buttress your points or inform your readers more fully.

I despise this practice because it is like the selfish, insular mainstream press websites out there and would like to see you go back to linking to the outside sources that you are discussing.

Terrorism is a crime, US courts have worldwide jurisdiction, and it’s time these people were brought to justice in a court of law, tried and locked up for a long time.

that right there my HA friends is the definition of absurdity, idiocy, and insanity!

Glad it’s not just me thinking the world is going insane.

Despite several examples of how previous Gitmo detainees went right back to their murdering Jihad after being released SCOTUS decided it was a good idea to give these animals the same rights as American citizens…that right there my HA friends is the definition of absurdity, idiocy, and insanity!

Indeed.
