Never forget how the Democrats ran this 'war' prior to 9/11 and how they continue to aid and abet the enemey today.

How could we forget....they sling this political dung at us everyday.

I do like the writer's approach, though. Our folks need to simply respond to silly arguments of equivalency by suggesting that the speakers apparently don't know enough about interrogation methods to speak intelligently on the subject. They need to be dismissed for the imbeciles they are.

Bump for Heather MacDonald!

We would be two years or more ahead in the War on Terror if the Democrats hadn't decided to use it as a tool to bash the President and his cabinet during election seasons. Shameful.

Today the democrats are out of power and bitching about the patriot act and the treatment of terrorist.We can be assured that when the democrats regain power they will turn the same patriot act against conservative and Christian groups while ignoring muslims completely.I'm in favor of the patriot act as long as it's only used to fight terrorist and nobody else.

[Pride in the USA]

As the dems continue to undermine the efforts to win the war on terror, they are handing the terrorists the tools that they need to prolong the war and cause further injury and suffering to those Americans and our allies who are directly involved in it. We all know that this is a purely political battle that the dems wage against our president and the consequences be damned. They will stop at nothing to get President Bush impeached over this whole "prisoner abuse scandal," mark my words.

Unholy Alliance
by David Horowitz
Regnery Publishing, Inc.; ISBN: 089526076X
Hardcover - 256 pages (September 2004)

In this tour de force on the most important issue of our time, David Horowitz, confronts the paradox of how so many Americans, including the leadership of the Democratic Party, could turn against the War on Terror. He finds an answer in a political Left that shares a view of America as the “Great Satan” with America’s radical Islamic enemies. This Left, which once made common cause with Communists, has now joined forces with radical Islam in attacking America’s defenses at home and its policies abroad. From their positions of influence in the university and media culture, leftists have defined America as the “root cause” of the attacks against it. In a remarkable exploration of the “Mind of the Left,” Horowitz traces the evolution of American radicalism from its Communist past to its “anti-war” present. He then shows how this Left was able to turn the Democratic Party presidential campaign around and reshape its views on the War on Terror.

Horowitz’s Unholy Alliance, writes John Haynes, the noted historian of American Communism, “is an insightful, brilliant examination of the mental world of the radical left. Horowitz shows how today’s radicals, unwilling to reflect on the internal flaws that destroyed Marxism-Leninism from within, have embraced an all-consuming nihilism in its place. This has led them to a hatred of American institutions and a solidarity with Islamic terrorists that makes the radical left more properly regarded as dangerous than loony.”

Unholy Alliance is an eye-opening book that should unsettle conventional assumptions and reveals why intellectuals and political leaders who applaud Michael Moore are no laughing matter. As Harvey Klehr, author of Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America, writes, “The world Communist movement may be moribund, but its habits of mind and ideological fantasies have not disappeared. This is a fascinating and depressing account.”

When the next 9-11 occurs, this "don't scare the prisoners" crap will vanish -- at the cost of thousands of more American civilian lives.

It relies on ignorance of the actual interrogation techniques promulgated after 9/11.

It also relies on ignorance of the Geneva convention. Denying the detainees POW status does not leave them in limbo. There is a section in the Geneva convention outlining how to treat enemy combatants. They don't get as many perks as POWs are supposed to, but they are still covered.

That said, I'd hand them over to Israel and say "do with them what you will. Let me know what you find out."

[Logical me]

It's time to ignore the CRATS and do what we have to. We have the Presidency, Congress, and the House. Now lets rip butt.
