"Capt. Seifert came from my hometown, and he'd probably be alive today if it weren't for the U.S. soldier Hasan Akbar."

I think you should make that read ".... if it weren't for the U.S. TRAITOR Hasan Akbar."

BUMP!

Thank you

Pipes was and is right. If you read the descriptions of some of the September 11th hijackers, they did what they could to fit in. Others of them did not. Look at the Professor at the University of South Florida -- funding/running one of the largest pro-terror groups in the country. We also need to pay attention to Euro Muslims like Chechnyans, Bosnians, etc...

I believe and ascribe to the freedoms of our country -- but these are not "free" freedoms. We have soldiers paying the price for all of us right now. We would be foolish indeed if we did not stay on top of this -- the Islamonazis are counting on us NOT paying attention. My prayers and sympathies to the family of Captain Seifert.

Yesterday Rumsfeld was asked if we're checking out this problem of Muslims in the military, but he didn't want to commit himself. Who can blame him for avoiding the question? They'd be trashing him on the front page again.

What the heck is that?

Since Mr. Rumsfeld didn't respond, I would assume that we are INDEED keeping a close eye on this...

Thanks for your more optimistic view of Rummy's response, I hope they are watching this closely and not just avoiding public opinion.

It was Bill Gertz who asked Rumsfeld the question that, from what I saw, made Rumsfeld very irritated. I believe, if I could read into Gertz's questioning, that Gertz's concern is that in the interest of appearing politically correct the higher-ups in the military by avoiding the issue of internal jihadis, have made "force protection" vulnerable. Gertz now has an article U.S. fears attacks from Muslims in armed forces.
