Millions of Islamic calendars PREDICTING THE attacks on America years in advance.

Last Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit dealt a crushing blow to national defense. The three-judge panel’s ruling in al Odah v. United States has gotten scarce media attention. Perhaps that’s understandable: It’s a mind-numbing technical dispute over “discovery” in litigation, vying for attention against the socializing of our economy and the consequent collapse of the stock market. But the discovery in question is the most vital kind, namely, that of classified national-defense information. What is in dispute is how much sensitive intelligence we must share with enemies bent on annihilating Americans ... It is one thing, and quite a bad thing, to force the executive to defend our nation in court against our enemies. It is quite another thing, though, to suggest our enemies are entitled to a shred of information beyond the minimum necessary to demonstrate that their designation as enemy combatants is rational.

Ping!
Ping!
BTTT
The motivation for taking prisoners is shrinking day by day.
Thanks.
Actually I look at this to be a failure and capitulation of our government...
Not of the people...
This just kinda frees us up to take care of this when the time comes...
OHHHH, but Stevie, you can’t take the law into your own hands!!!
Who says anything about the law??? There is no law...
People need to understand we can change this in November 2010, and in some cases get it all started this year in local elections...
Lets see, it took less than 60 days for the elected leader of this country to turn us upside down...And threre is not much we can do about it right now...
I would like to see how fired up people are in 20 or so months...And carry that right on into 2012...That may sound like a long time, and sure it’ll be hard to watch...But I bet we don’t have too many people that will remember any of this garbage...
What we had better hope is that there is not a really bad terrorist attack between now and then...
...just my opinion...
Well, I’ll say it. There are people in Congress who WANT another attack on America. Just as there are people in Washington who WANT America destroyed, ie, fundamentally altered. A little crisis (like say a major terrorist strike) goes a long way toward the goal of altering America.
BTTT.

THE WAY IT IS:
Factor in the enormous resource drain the litigation requires, and holding prisoners becomes a net loss for the war effort. And the war effort becomes a waste of time unless you only kill rather than capture — which is al-Qaeda’s way of doing things, but not ours.
That's okay, because if the soldiers kill the enemy, then the left will see that they tried for murder when they get back. So everything's groovy for radical Islam.
Modern Law, and thus lawyers, have been the enemy of good for decades.
Frankly, a right, just and freedom loving lawyer should be in jail, as a well recognized enemy of the present legal system.
Most lawyers are little more than glorified clerks, and no, zero, zip political education and wouldn’t know Locke or Burke if you shoved them down their throats.
The few who can think beyond musty case law are mostly Marxists.
We are done.
These judges are doing their best to make sure the American people stop taking them seriously.
How long can they escape public accountability?
I guess this answers the question whether the Constitution is a suicide pact. Obviously to the leftest judges we have along with the scum in the congress and now at the White House, the answer is clear.

My impression is the leftists don’t even consider the Constitution (the real one) because it’s not something that’s part of them.
They are trying to remake everything in their own image—to force the world conform to their own internal desires—consistent with the only significant principle defining Marxism and with all tyrannical agendas throughout history.
This is why the bush admin shouldn’t have overreached and just called people prisoners of war. Just wait until people like rush or tea-partyers get declared “enemy combatants” for disagreeing with the government, and held indefinitely without trial.
This... unit... must... die...
Sickening. I suppose the bottom lone message here is to take no prisoners.
