Fox News journalist Steve Centanni's credibility is SHOT. He will forever be viewed as "the journalist that converted to Islam" to save his skin and then "unconverted" when he thought he was "safe", and as the "journalist" who praised the terrorists and their cause and told the west that they and Israel are the bad guys and admonished more reporters to “come to Gaza and report on the plight of the poor Palistinians”. The reality is his conversion was presented and viewed by MILLIONS of Muslims (along with the rest of us) world-wide. According to Islam, he has now become...

Bush at the White House for the CBS primetime special "Five Years Later -- How Safe Are We?" The special will air from 10 to 11pm on Sept. 6.

R J Del ("Del")Vecchio insists that the VN war is very unusual in that the legends that grew up around it have far outstripped the facts. Hollywood has generally suggested to us that all VN vets are, in all probability, former dopeheads, mental cases, and maybe even baby-killers. Textbooks and treatises tell kids that the Viet Nam was was "the only war that America ever lost." Del will discuss otherwise, as he spends two hours showing photographs and talking about his experiences as an "embedded journalist" long before we ever actually heard the term. Do not expect some ex-grunt showing...

Press converence at White House on CNN. LOL. All the news chick could say was, "Wow!"

Someone on a mailing list I am on said the FBI has not issued an arrest warrant for UBL because there isn't enough evidence. I have pointed out that we have Bin Laden's confession as to his involvement- but was wondering what other hard evidence I could provide. Blair issued evidence in 2001 but I wasn't able to find articles past then. Of course, I haven't scoured the internet. Don't have time this morning. But, I figured some freepers might have something handy.

It appears that it is rigged (at least at this one website). One player backed by evidence of hand history has shown that he was dealt the same hand on the same table against another player in under 5 minutes losing a full house to a higher full house twice. The odds of this happening are 1 in 333 trillion. It appears they are juicing hands to encourage more betting and employing robot players to steal from real players. They made the mistake of giving the same hand to the same player so quickly indicating that he was one of...

EVERY few years, California lawmakers take aim at term limits, which have swept out the Sacramento fossils who held office for decades, ushering in fresh faces and more minorities. Legislators hate term limits. They want to cling to six-figure jobs, full staffs, fat per diem expense accounts and personal prestige that few lawmakers could ever earn in private life. Journalists who cover politics hate term limits. They must cozy up to a new bunch of lawmakers every time the old bunch is forced out. They have to develop new sources and — horrors! — update their Rolodexes. Both the pols...

We Freepers have long and often speculated about the whereabouts of Saddam’s missing WMDs, and the frequently-opined location is “somewhere in the Bekaa Valley” in either Syria or Syrian-controlled Lebanon. The obvious reason to move them “somewhere” was to avoid detection in the face of the pending US invasion, in order to deny their existence and to preserve them for another day and another time. But why the Bekaa? Syria controlled the Bekaa, and Syria maintained strategic relationships with both Saddam and Iran. It seems unlikely that Saddam would have put his WMDs in the hands of Iran’s proxies directly,...

A top American scientist dubbed "the father of gene therapy" is facing two decades in prison after been convicted of molesting a colleague's daughter. William French Anderson, known to many in the competitive world of genetic research as "French", entered the annals of medicine in 1990 when he led a team that successfully implanted missing genes into the blood of a 3-year-old girl, enabling her recovery from a rare, hereditary disease. But yesterday the 69-year-old was found guilty of four counts of abuse towards the 10-year-old daughter of a research scientist who worked in his laboratory at the University of...

There are those on the left who have criticized President Bush for, among other things, what they characterize as an overly aggressive anti-terror policy that has helped recruit more terrorists. The renewed attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah over the past several weeks, following enormous concessions and withdrawal by Israel, and the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of Iran and Syria, make it plain that our response to fundamentalist Islamic terror, far from being too aggressive, has been much too restrained. I do not defend the decision to elevate Iraq above other threats in 2003, nor have I ever agreed with Secretary Rumsfeld's decision...

AP reports that “120 Americans leave Lebanon by helicopter.” This means the U.S. will need approximately 209 days to evacuate all 25,000 Americans stranded in Lebanon. I did the calculation: 208 days is Mid-February of next year. After reading the headline and writing the above, I read in the report, “By the end of the week, the evacuation will proceed at a pace of 1,000 Americans a day.” This gives us 20-plus days to see the Americans evacuated. In comparison to Katrina, the numbers are not bad, not bad at all. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060718/ap_on_re_mi_ea/mideast_evacuation

PostPosted: Sun Jul 16, 2006 9:22 pm Post subject: The speech that dare not be heard in Canada Reply with quote This is the speech that PM Harper gave to the UK Chamber of Commerce. I have not heard a speech of this quality and assertive 'Canadianess' since the days of John Diefenbaker and even then I think in many ways this one outshines them all. It is a remarkable statement of advocacy for the 'Dominion' and all it was once and, apparently might be again. Nevertheless, when one reads it, clearly, this speech could not be delivered in Canada...

A Dutch court refused Monday to ban a political party whose main goal is to lower the age of sexual consent from 16 to 12. The judge said it was the voters' right to judge the appeal of political parties. The party has only three known members, one of whom was convicted of molesting an 11-year-old boy in 1987. Widely dubbed the "pedophile" party, it is unlikely ever to win a seat in parliament. The group would need around 60,000 votes, and pollsters estimate it would get fewer than 1,000. Opponents had asked The Hague District Court to bar the...

There is a pro-Israel rally in Brookline Massachusetts on Tuesday July 18th. It is in front of Kehillath Israel on Harvard Street. It is a huge synagogue. You can't miss it.
