The Clinton's Terror Pardons On Aug. 7, 1999, the one-year anniversary of the U.S. African embassy bombings that killed 257 people and injured 5,000, President Bill Clinton reaffirmed his commitment to the victims of terrorism, vowing that he "will not rest until justice is done." Four days later, while Congress was on summer recess, the White House quietly issued a press release announcing that the president was granting clemency to 16 imprisoned members of FALN. Mr. Clinton justified the clemencies by asserting that the sentences were disproportionate to the crimes. The FALN, translated as The Armed Forces of National Liberation,...

It was nearly 10 p.m. on New Year's Eve, 1982. Two officers on New York Police Department's elite bomb squad rushed to headquarters at One Police Plaza, where minutes earlier an explosion had destroyed the entrance to the building. Lying amid the carnage was Police Officer Rocco Pascarella, his lower leg blasted off. "He was ripped up like someone took a box cutter and shredded his face," remembered Detective Anthony Senft, one of the bomb-squad officers who answered the call 25 years ago. "We really didn't even know that he was a uniformed man until we found his weapon, that's...

But there was one decision she did significantly influence, though she now denies it. Campaigning in Corpus Christi, Texas, shortly before the March 4 primary that kept Hillary's candidacy alive, if on life support, husband Bill was...

Obama and the Bombmaker's Church By Jeffrey Lord Published 3/18/2008 12:08:35 AM There's more. Let's move on from the tale of Senator Barack Obama's pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, to another tale of Obama's United Church of Christ -- a denomination that he and I share. Does the name Fuerzas Armadas de Liberacion Nacional -- Armed Forces of National Liberation -- ring a bell? You may remember this charming group by its initials, FALN. A so-called revolutionary group determined to bring about Puerto Rican independence through violence....

There is a certain country which has been the target of fierce terrorist attacks in recent years, leaving untold thousands of citizens living along its southern border exposed to ongoing violence and cruelty. After enduring ceaseless bombings, killings and abductions, the country's leadership decided to take bold action, crossing the frontier over the weekend and eliminating the terrorist group's top echelons, including its second-in-command. In case you haven't been following the news, the country in question is Columbia, which sent troops on a cross-border raid into neighboring Ecuador, where they tracked down and killed some of the leading thugs of...

Referring to this story: In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

For those who have forgotten just how corrupt the Clinton’s are (like anyone could forget) this story should bring shivers down your spine. Debra Burlingame, the sister of Charles F. “Chic” Burlingame III, the pilot of American Airlines flight 77, writes about the Armed Forces of National Liberation [FALN] terrorist group that had wreaked havoc on American soil for decades. 146 bombings and armed robberies were linked to the group including this account of a bombing in 1982: It was nearly 10 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, 1982.

Sen. Clinton has inroduced legislation, S 1757, that allows some Puerto Rican residents who pay no federal income tax, to get child-credit refunds on their Social Security and Medicare taxes.

She is framing her bill as a way to offer Puertan Rican residents the same child tax credits available to other Americans. "Due to a quirk in the law, Puerto Rican households with more...

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Gov. Rod Blagojevich and an Illinois congressman are standing behind a man who got a high-ranking state job despite serving prison time for refusing to cooperate in a federal investigation of a militant group. U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez, a Chicago Democrat, praised Steven Guerra on Friday for doing "excellent work" in private and public sectors pushing health and education issues. Blagojevich continues to support Guerra, who "unequivocally" condemns violence by the Armed Forces of National Liberation, identified by the acronym FALN, and denies he was ever a member, said spokeswoman Abby Ottenhoff. Guerra, 53, is Blagojevich's...

LISTEN ONLINE TO KABC Joseph Connor, whose father was murdered by FALN terrorists, will be the guest of Al Rantel this morning during the 11am hour on the West Coast. In the hopes of squeezing out some more votes for his evil wife from Puerto Ricans in New York, Bill Clinton pardoned FALN terrorists and set them free. How dare either of the Clintons say one word about the communtation of the sentence of Scooter Libby. Their shamelessness, arrogance, and hubris knows no limits. And, of course, the press uttered very few words about it.

NOTE: I had Joe as a guest on my Rightalk Radio show a few years ago and am trying to get him on other shows.
