"Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
George Orwell's truth comes to mind as one reads that Eric Holder has named a special prosecutor to go after the "rough men" who, to keep us sleeping peacefully at night, allegedly went too far in frightening Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, engineer of the September 2001 massacres.
Yet, it seems now indisputable that those CIA interrogators, with their rough methods, got vital intelligence that saved American lives, as Dick Cheney has consistently contended.
According to The Washington Times, which reviewed the newly declassified CIA documents, those interrogators "produced life-saving intelligence that disrupted numerous terrorist plots."
They elicited names of al-Qaida agents who planned anthrax attacks on Westerners and a massive bombing of Camp Lemonier, the U.S. base in East Africa. They got the names of 70 recruits that al-Qaida deemed "suitable for Western attacks" and of the men who made the bomb used on the U.S. consulate in Karachi.
Iyman Faris, an al-Qaida sleeper agent and truck driver in Ohio, is serving 20 years because of information the CIA got from Mohammed and his associates. Other operations aborted include al-Qaida "plots to fly airliners into buildings on the West Coast, setting off bombs in U.S. cities and planning to employ a network of Pakistanis to target gas stations, railroad tracks and the Brooklyn Bridge."(continued)

“When Pat’s right, he’s right.”
He is right on this, that’s for sure...
As if the radical anti-American marxists running the administration care. Or rather if they do, they are upset these attacks were stopped, hence their current actions...
How soon before Obama issues a Presidential pardon?
It’s easy to understand, when you understand that Obama is the most successful communist traitor mole in history, and he had put like-minded traitors into most key positions around him.
I was wondering how long is was going to take before we heard someone trash Pat Buchanan in one way or another.
I mean they're all morons who essentially hate America!
Yet the maddening tragedy is that so few yet understand it despite evidence as plain as the sun!
It’s about time we heard anything out of Pat Buchanan. His silence up to now has been disturbing.
I think that they are laughing at you & me for allowing it to happen. Blame nobody but us sheeple.
What a hoot. Freepers are afraid to post something by Buchanan without a disclaimer.
Yeah, Pat made a few stupid decisions in the past & I don’t agree w/ him 100% of the time...but I would rather of had him as President than Geirge W. Bush (or Mr. “NWO” G.H.W. Bush, too!).
“Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg?
I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
I know deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I’d prefer you said thank you, and went on your way.
Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to!”
[Jack Nicholson, as Colonel Jessup in A Few Good Men]
Hero agents attacked by Obama adiministration!!!
I just wonder if he’ll convert to Islam some day.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day
I love your tag line...but have you ever wondered who the creators of the suicide vests are?
