Cheney warns of new attacks

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans — and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

Gitmo’s General

The U.S. can’t risk releasing detainee Ghassan Abdullah al Sharbi.

Last week, a D.C. district court dismissed a lawsuit brought on behalf of a Guantánamo detainee named Ghassan Abdullah al Sharbi. The 34 year-old Saudi told the court that he did not want to proceed with the case, which was originally brought by al Sharbi’s father to challenge his son’s detention. So, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan granted al Sharbi’s wish, leaving it to the Obama administration to decide his fate.

It is not surprising that al Sharbi did not want to challenge his detention at Guantánamo. He is a remorseless terrorist. And at the time of his capture, al Sharbi was admittedly plotting future attacks on American and allied forces in Afghanistan. It’s possible that he was prepared to do much more. Al Sharbi is, after all, one of the select al Qaeda members tasked with receiving flight training alongside the September 11 hijackers.....

Quite true, Zilla.
I’d laugh, but just feel like crying today.

Jordanian arrested in threat to Jewish school (Chicago)

A 24-year-old Jordanian national from the Far North Side was arrested this morning, accused of mailing a threatening letter to the Ida Crown Jewish Academy on New Year’s Eve in response to the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip, according to the FBI.

The man, whom authorities declined to identify until his initial court appearance at 10:15 a.m. in the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse, was the same man interviewed by federal authorities Feb. 12 when they searched his West Rogers Park apartment in the 6000 block of North Artesian Avenue for evidence related to the vandalism of several synagogues and Jewish schools in Chicago and Lincolnwood. Those incidents occurred on Jan. 10 in the wake of the Israeli airstrikes and troop incursions in the Gaza Strip.....
