Note: The following text is a quote:

Statement of Peter Carr, Deputy Director of Public Affairs, on the Supreme Court Decision in Boumediene V. Bush
“We are disappointed with the Court’s decision. The Court recognized that an adjustment to typical habeas proceedings may be appropriate, but required the hundreds of actions challenging the detention of enemy combatants at Guantanamo to be moved to district court. The Department is reviewing the decision and its implications on the existing detainee litigation.
“While we disagree with the ruling, it is important to note that the Boumediene case did not concern military commission trials. Boumediene involved a challenge to the procedures that Congress and the Executive have established to permit enemy combatants at Guantanamo to challenge their detention during ongoing hostilities. Those enemy combatants who have been charged by a military commission with war crimes are afforded numerous additional protections in connection with those trials. Military commission trials will therefore continue to go forward. To the extent that Boumediene addresses matters that could affect the commission trials, those matters will initially be litigated before the military commissions themselves. In the event of a conviction, the accused will have the right to appeal to both military and federal appellate courts.”

QUOTE:
Addressing the court on the third day of his opening statement, Simon Denison, prosecuting, said Muhammad’s departure was so hasty he left behind a bedroom full of alleged evidence. Apart from some “dummy ammunition” for an AK47 assault rifle, there was a library of DVDs and CDs packed with jihadist propaganda.
Also recovered was an SAS handbook, maps of the London Underground, Jerusalem and Manhattan, a book entitled Suicide Bombings, an encryption code, photographs of a smiling Osama bin Laden, “extremely graphic” footage of the beheadings of American hostages in Iraq, and instructions on how to make arms and explosives.”

“Mohammed, PBUH, TM (I think another lawsuit is coming my way....Ezra Levant)

SNIPPET: “I think another lawsuit is coming my way.
Today, my lawyer received this letter from a radical Muslim activist in Toronto. It’s a Certificate of Registration of Copyright. He claims to have copyrighted the image of Mohammed, PBUH. In other words, it’s now Mohammed, PBUH, TM.
I checked it out on Industry Canada’s copyright database and, sure enough, there it is: two weeks ago, Akhtar “Hector” Agha has indeed registered a “Restriction on Depiction of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)”. It’s right there on the government website.
I’m not sure, but I think “Hector” might be looking for a royalties payment for whenever I do something like post this picture.
At least I think that’s what he’s on about. But he has also addressed his letter to Stockwell Day, the Minister for Public Security. Frankly, when folks like Hector voluntarily report their activities to the minister in charge of fighting domestic jihad, that’s what we call a freebie.
Hector has also asked that his concerns be forwarded to the “RCMP unit looking after Human Rights issues”. Again, good thinking Hector. But the RCMP unit in charge of human rights issues is very, very busy right now looking into human rights issues.
But there is more to this document besides pure comedy. Look at the top right corner of the second page: it says OIC/Summit.”
