That Hamas and the BBC have close relations isn’t exactly a revelation. See here and here, for example. But finally the BBC, the world’s biggest broadcaster, has itself admitted to being in touch with Hamas – the group that unlike other Islamic terror groups, has made a habit of deliberately targeting children (in school buses, bat mitzvah birthday parties, pizzerias filled with kids and so on). A senior BBC executive has confirmed that the BBC held private meetings with Hamas – whose gunmen usually wear ski masks to hide their identity – in the days leading up to the release...

ABC News has confirmed that Adam Gadahn, the American who converted to Islam and joined al Qaeda, has been charged in a sealed indictment with providing material support to terrorism. Gadahn recently appeared with al Qaeda's No. 2 in command Ayman Zawahiri exhorting Americans to convert to Islam. Gadahn, in addition to helping al Qaeda with propaganda and communications, is also suspected of helping al Qaeda with English translations and understanding U.S. culture and vulnerabilities. Charges may be announced in the next week. Officials have also considered charging Gadahn with treason.

ADAM GADAHN grew up on a farm in Riverside County, California; as a teenage slob he was obsessed with heavy metal music. Today he is known as “Azzam the American” — al-Qaeda’s own Lord Haw-Haw — who stars in a video telling fellow Westerners that they must convert to Islam or be sent “straight to Hell without passing Go”. Dressed in flowing white robes and turban, Gadahn, 28, delivers a long lecture on the errors of Christianity and Judaism before setting out a critique of US foreign policy ranging from the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima to the...

BEIJI, Iraq - Five U.S. Army soldiers are being investigated for allegedly raping a young woman, then killing her and three members of her family in Iraq, a U.S. military official said Friday. The soldiers also allegedly burned the body of the woman they are accused of assaulting in the March incident, the official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case. The U.S. command issued a sparse statement, saying Maj. Gen. James D. Thurman, commander of coalition troops in Baghdad, had ordered a criminal investigation into the alleged killing of a family...

Associate Professor at the University of Nevada Reno tackles politics and gaming art at the same time. 2,456 Names Joseph DeLappe can often be found logging into an online session of America's Army for hours at a time, but this Associate Professor from San Francisco isn't running around shooting terrorists. Instead, Prof. DeLappe spends the entire session typing. He may stop occasionally when his character is killed and he has to wait for a respawn, or he'll stop to take a screenshot of a reply sent to him from another player, but otherwise, he's just typing. Prof. DeLappe expects to...

George Galloway has defended his praise of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, following a recent trip to the country. The MP for Bethnal Green said the president was a "breath of fresh air" after decades of dictatorship. Syria has been criticised for its human rights record and been accused of links to terrorism in recent years - which the country strenuously denies. During his recent trip Mr Galloway hailed the Syrian president - whose regime has faced accusations over the assassination of Lebanese Premier Rafik Hariri - as the "last Arab leader".

LONDON, Oct 27 (KUNA) -- The reputation of the House of Commons was at risk if it did not investigate allegations about the financial probity of Respect Party MP George Galloway, a Labour former minister warned Thursday. Denis MacShane compared the controversial MP to the infamous Nazi propagandist and convicted traitor William Joyce, known as "Lord Haw-Haw," who was hanged in London in 1946. And he demanded that a joint committee of the House of Commons and US Congress be established to investigate the latest "serious allegations" about Galloway's links with the Iraq oil-for-food programme. Galloway has challenged US senators...

It's a FALSE story but it says a lot about the sick mindset of the DUmmies that they are JUBILANT over the fact that they think the mayor of Baghdad has been killed as you can see in this THREAD incorrectly titled, "Baghdad Mayor Killed." Of course, when Saddam Hussein is executed they will have the opposite reaction. They will mourn the passing of such a great anti-American leader. So let us now watch as the DUmmies express jubilation over the death that didn't happen in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent is in the [brackets]:...

Some are calling former Marine captain Josh Rushing a modern-day Tokyo Rose for taking a job reporting for a new English-language channel of the Al-Jazeera network. The Qatar-based network has been described by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld as "perfectly willing to lie to the world.”

Controversial film-maker Michael Moore is planning to make a hard-hitting documentary based on US President George W. Bush's handling of the Hurricane Katrina rescue operation. Moore grabbed international acclaim with his scathing 2004 film Fahrenheit 9/11, which studied Bush's handling of the September 11th terrorist attacks. The Oscar winner is now "seriously considering" documenting the catastrophe in America's Gulf Coast region. He tells the New York Daily News, "There is much to be said and done about the man-made annihilation of New Orleans, caused not by a hurricane but by the very specific decisions made by the Bush administration in...

Pat Buchanan, former communications director to President Ronald Reagan, former presidential candidate and WND commentator, has come to the conclusion that a courageous Republican legislator should move a bill for impeachment of President Bush. I reluctantly agree – and for the same reasons. President Bush has had nearly six years in office to honor his oath of office and enforce immigration laws in this country. He has not only failed, he has intentionally neglected this sworn duty, instead claiming he prefers to promote a vague immigration "reform" plan that involved a "guest worker" program that has served as an encouragement...

The Peaceful Occupation of Crawford (Day 10); Misses and Miracles -- a message from Cindy Sheehan, Crawford, TX We still have so many great things happening at Camp Casey. In spite of all the smears and lies, people are still coming. The most amazing thing today was learning that Camp Caseys are opening and spreading all over the country. They have been set up in Boston, Portland, Seattle, and elsewhere. If you can't make it to Camp Casey, set up your own version. Camp Caseys are amazing places full of love and hope. I am so gratified that the movement...

Calls to deport 'the voice of al-Qa'eda' By Philip Johnston, Home Affairs Editor (Filed: 27/07/2005) A London-based supporter of Osama bin Laden who runs a website depicting beheadings and suicide bombings in Iraq has forfeited his right to asylum in the country and should be deported, MPs said last night.

We've talked about the bogus Newsweek desecration story for several days now, and so has the White House press corps. Yesterday, in the White House Press Room, Scott McClellan took a question about Newsweek, and said, in essence, that Newsweek ought to do all it can to correct some of the damage they did with their bogus story. Terry Moran, White House correspondent for ABC News, replied, saying that it sounded to him like Scott was trying to be the editor of Newsweek. Elizabeth Bumiller of the New York Times later quipped, very sarcastically, that maybe Scott wanted her to...
