Spencer Ackerman nails it.
For me, the prospect of KSM grandstanding at his trial falls into I-wish-a-motherfucker-would territory. I want to hear how KSM builds a case against America, because everyone will hear how laughably conspiratorial and clownish it is. Think of what a cathartic moment it will be when America sees the face of the [...]

Stephen Hayes, Probably Not The Best Connector
November 16th, 2009

I notice that Stephen Hayes has co-written a piece in the Weekly Standard called “Connecting the Dots”. By now you probably know where it’s coming from, trampling the well worn path that asserting that Malik Hasan was a terrorist. Maybe he is. Maybe he’s an Al Qaeda agent, but frankly, we don’t know that at [...]
Conservatives Wet The Bed Over Terrorism… Again
November 13th, 2009
18 Comments
Isn’t it just… poetic justice for the 9/11 conspirators to be tried and almost certainly executed in a New York City court?
The minds behind the worst terror attack in US history, tried in one of our most important cities, and executed under our system of laws? Sounds great.
But the cons? Wetting the bed, again. They’re [...]
Conservatives Intentional Obtuseness On Right Wing Militias

Cenyk Uygur of The Young Turks had a hard time not having his head explode talking to this rightie Joy Tiz who tries to minimalize radical Christian terror in order to make Islamic terrorism the only terror around.
All religious extremists are bad.
Conservatives often seem pathologically unable to talk about rightie terror.

Funny how we arrest these guys and the Obama administration does so without a huge dog and pony show about how you should wet your pants.
Tarek Mehanna, 27, of Sudbury, a small town west of Boston, allegedly conspired from 2001 to May 2008 with Ahmad Abousamra and others to support and carry out attacks abroad, [...]

Biden Approach To Afghanistan Sounds Right
September 22nd, 2009

I don’t agree with nation-building, not now in the way the world is currently going, at least. But neither do I think its wise to just get out while Al Qaeda elements are there. Al Qaeda is the target. 9/11. Seriously.
Among the alternatives being presented to Mr. Obama is Mr. Biden’s suggestion to revamp the [...]

See, this is how you do it.

Please. Send ‘em here. We haven’t been as hard hit by the economy as a lot of other states, but since our only federal facility is a medium security joint holding Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff we’ll need some cash to build a maximum security holding cell since everyone else is being such a baby about [...]
Pelosi & The CIA? Bush Was Still The Trigger Man

My guess? Speaker Pelosi is, at best, being misleading about what the CIA did and didn’t tell her. In all likelihood? She’s probably lying. But does it really matter?
After 9/11, the Democrats not only lost their marbles the way the rest of us did at the horror, they also had their spines turn to jelly [...]

Why Are We In Afghanistan?

I think that’s the central question of the Obama administration’s surge of troops to the region and what it all means. Are win in Afghanistan to keep the Taliban out of power and foster democracy? Or, are we there to kill and capture Al Qaeda and its supporters?
My inclination is towards the latter, especially when [...]
