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, [...]

Tarek Mehanna: Another Terror Suspect Arrested
Plot: Hydrogen Peroxide Bomb On 9/11
We were paying attention this time.
An Afghan immigrant wanted to carry out a New York City terror attack involving hydrogen peroxide bombs to coincide with the Sept. 11 anniversary before federal authorities foiled the plan, a U.S. prosecutor said Friday.
Tim Neff told a federal judge that Najibullah Zazi ‘was in the throes of making a [...]

Zazi is to appear in court Thursday in Denver on a count of lying to terrorism investigators. The new charge of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction was filed in New York.
Court documents charge that in [...]
Biden Approach To Afghanistan Sounds Right
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 [...]

Detectives were combing Queens storage facilities on Monday for stockpiled explosive chemicals that Al Qaeda terror thugs planned to use to bomb New York, sources said.
At the same time, the Daily News has learned that prime terror suspect Najibullah Zazi has confessed he was a jihadist hell-bent on murderous mayhem, the sources said.
NYPD investigators, in [...]
Najibullah Zazi: Did We Just Stop Another 9/11?
Link
After overnight arrests this weekend in the alleged New York terror plot, FBI agents believe an active terror cell directed by al Qaeda was preparing an attack on New York City, and authorities say they have yet to identify everyone involved.
Officials say they do not have specifics on the potential targets of the alleged plot, [...]
Al Qaeda Agent Killed On Obama’s Orders
See, this is how you do it.
American commandos killed one of the most wanted Islamic militants in Africa in a daylight raid in southern Somalia on Monday, according to American and Somali officials, an indication of the Obama administration’s willingness to use combat troops strategically against Al Qaeda’s growing influence in the region.
The Joker ALWAYS Escapes From Arkham Asylum
That’s why we can’t house terrorists in U.S. prisons. These and other similarly irrational ideas brought to you by the Republican party and wimpy ass bedwetting Democrats.
Fighting Terror Via Law Enforcement
Hey, we arrested more wannabe terrorists. Again. It’s almost like that works better than invading the wrong country.
Please Send The Gitmo Terrorists To Maryland
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 [...]
About Torture
Instapundit links to a post I wrote 6 years ago (without the follow up clarification) as to my position on torture. He of course does this in the candyass passive aggressive way he always does (when I accuse someone of something I use their name, and I do so on a site that has my [...]
Time To Do The Damn Thing In Afghanistan
I have waited so long for this. So long. One of the things I’ll never forgive Bush for is that he let Bin Laden get away. The man and the network responsible for the worst terror attack in our history still breathes, and its an insult to the dead and their loved ones every day [...]
President Obama Isn’t Taking B.S. From Cheney
Woot.
“How many terrorists have actually been brought to justice under the philosophy that is being promoted by Vice President Cheney?” Mr. Obama said Friday in an interview to be broadcast Sunday on “60 Minutes” on CBS.
The president was responding to recent charges by Mr. Cheney that the administration’s decision to shut down the Guantánamo prison, [...]
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 [...]
OMG, Terrah! Watch
Glenn Greenwald has a list of all the Islamic terrorists being held in America right now. The borders haven’t melted yet. For me this issue connects with the attack on John Kerry in 2004 for having the nerve to argue that much of the fight versus terrorism is a law enforcement matter. As I’ve noted [...]
This Detainee Thing
Are people seriously clutching their pearls over U.S. prisons housing terror detainees? Um, aren’t these the same prisons that hold people like Timothy McVeigh, John Wayne Gacy and Ted Bundy? Come on.
