Kate Middleton: Islamo-Pandering Hijab Barefoot Photos Far More Offensive Than Topless Ones

By Debbie Schlussel

There’s much buzz about topless photos that have emerged of British royal Kate Middleton. They were taken while the Duchess of Cambridge was dressing at a “remote” house” (um, rocket scientist tip: close the drapes/blinds . . . Einstein-level advice, I know). But far more offensive are the photos (such as those below) of Middleton wearing the Islamic headscarf and otherwise pandering to Muslims in Malaysia by removing her shoes along with her Prince husband, in deference to Islam. Remember, this is the country whose leader–to great cheers–called for more Islamic homicide bombings and mass murders of Jews and a “final victory” of the world’s Muslims against the Jews. And, per usual, the British royals are pandering to the Malaysians, despite that. For all the talk about Kate and William being fresh blood and faces, their Islamo-pandering behavior–kissing the asses of those who openly support Islamic terrorism–is the same old crap we saw from Queen Elizabeth (who refuses to ever visit Israel) and her inbred son, Prince Charles of “I Wish I Was Your Tampon” fame, who appointed himself “the ambassador for Islam.”

They Heart Islam . . .

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate, are the same old thing, with better fashions and fewer wrinkles. Oh, and by the way, the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel site, London Muslim, is having orgasms over the photos. Princess Kate down with the jihadist struggle! Alhamdillullah [praise allah]. ABC’s “Good Morning America” reported that Kate was wearing a “fashionable hijab.” Newsflash: it’s just a plain white scarf. And what’s “fashionable” about wearing the garb of oppression–a head-covering mandated by Islam for women because the men cannot control their impulses and aren’t expected to because a strand of hair might turn them on to the point of raping the “open meat” of a woman with visible hair? Just asking. If that’s “fashionable,” it must be the year 700. Or, sadly, 2012 for British royals.

Impeach Anne Patterson: US Egypt Amb Ordered NO LIVE AMMO for Marines, Relied on Muslim Bro’Hood for Security (WTF?!)

By Debbie Schlussel

**** UPDATE: The Pentagon is denying the story is true. But several U.S. Marine blogs say it is. Which is the truth? You decide. ****

How the hell is Dumbassador Anne Patterson still the U.S. Ambassador to Egypt? This woman is a moron-ette extraordinaire. She clearly doesn’t give a damn about American lives, American sovereignty, or much of anything else. The woman should be impeached. Or tried for treason. But, then, she works for Obama, so no surprise. We can’t have “gun grabbers” . . . even if their job is to have guns and protect sovereign U.S. soil at the embassy. Um, did we tell our Armed Forces “no live bullets” during World War II, “no live ammo?” We’d be saluting Hitler now–or you would be. I wouldn’t exist. This idiotette spends more time on choosing which Islamic garb of oppression to wear than worrying about the security of her own embassy. Dhimmi to the max. Absurd:


Disgrace: U.S. AmbDumbassador to Egypt Anne Patterson

U.S. Marines defending the American embassy in Egypt were not permitted by the State Department to carry live ammunition, limiting their ability to respond to attacks like those this week on the U.S. consulate in Cairo.

Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson “did not permit U.S. Marine guards to carry live ammunition,” according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blogs spotted by Nightwatch. “She neutralized any U.S. military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.” Read the rest of this entry »

Chris Stevens, Friend of HAMAS: US Amb to Libya Was Islamopanderer to Extremism (NBC VIDEO) – The Male Lara Logan

By Debbie Schlussel

It should be noted that the late Ambassador Chris Stevens was murdered by the very extremists he helped put in power. Stevens wasn’t just an Islamo-pandering cheerleader, he dedicated his career to romanticizing, whitewashing, aiding, abetting, and enabling Islamic extremism. Watch the video, below, from last night’s “NBC Nightly News” broadcast, beginning at 1:13 into the video. It confirms that the far-left Stevens was the liaison for the Obama administration to the Libyan rebels. He was a big part of the Obama plan to remove Qaddafi (with whom we had a de facto peace and an agreement pursuant to which he gave up all weapons of mass destruction) from power and install these animals in his place. As you’ll note, Stevens made a pandering video to Libyan extremists, introducing himself as the new ambassador. And he wanted to become U.S. Ambassador to Iran, where we deliberately DON’T have an ambassador or an embassy, something Stevens wanted to change, because he was constantly in bed with the worst elements of an already dangerous Islam. The attack on him was an attack on America that is outrageous and to be condemned. But his politics–which are also to be condemned–were what ushered his attackers into power to rule the streets of Libya.

THIS. IS. ISLAM: Libyan Democrats Line Up to Take Pics of Chris Stevens’ Dead Body


Muslims Parade Chris Stevens’ Body on Libyan Streets

As you’ll also note in the video, Libya’s Al-Qaeda Ambassador to the U.S. spoke of how friendly he was with Stevens–they played tennis together. And this Muslim Brotherhood Libyan Ambassador shed these crocodile tears at a press conference of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a cheerleader of Islamic terrorism which fundraised for HAMAS and is part of the Brotherhood. ISNA, by the way, holds title to the land beneath most of America’s mosques through its North American Islamic Trust (NAIT) and was a big backer of convicted Islamic Jihad terrorist Sami Al-Arian, who murdered American college student Alisa Flatow.

Yup, these were Chris Stevens’ friends. He slept with snakes and ever so predictably got bitten. It’s yet another example–of the gazillion we’ve already seen–that Muslims will attack, rape, and kill anyone from America, anyone from the West, even the biggest butt-kissers and tuchus-lickers of their cause. Stevens was Lara Logan in a skirt. He helped put savages into power, and then they practiced their savagery on him, with fatal consequences.

While I am outraged by the attack on the U.S. Embassy and the murder of Stevens and the other three U.S. Embassy officials, my disgust and anger is over what was a deliberate attack against America and what Stevens stood for only as an official representative of our country. As for what he stood for as an Arabist par excellence, well, he should have known better. Sadly, all of America and the West have to reap the everlasting poisonous fruit that grew of the seeds he sowed. Read the rest of this entry »

U.S. Ambassador Raped by Muslims Before Killing – Arab Media Reports

By Debbie Schlussel

Was U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens raped by Muslims before they murdered him at the compound along with three other U.S. officials?


Libyans Drag Ambassador Christopher Stevens’ Body Through the Street

That’s the claim being made by Tayyar, a Lebanese Arabic news site. It’s certainly a credible scenario–we know that Libyan Muslims anally raped Muammar Qaddafi with some sort of implement before they murdered him. That’s how they behave in this part of the world, this religion, this ideology–whether or not someone in America made an anti-Mohammed movie. And, as I said yesterday, they probably tortured Stevens in some way before they murdered him. They never let anyone–especially an “evil American”–die in peace in that place, which is yet another reason we needed a Qaddafi over these savages (but instead have the Obama-Bush “democratic” alternative, something that Stevens, himself, pimped big-time).

But the Tayyar story, which is in Arabic, cites AFP (Agence France-Presse), the French news organization, as the source. And I can find no AFP story (in English or in French) that says this. And there’s nothing on AFP’s website. That doesn’t mean this didn’t happen. As I said, this is the standard M.O. in the Islamic world. But I doubt AFP reported this and it calls into question the Tayyar site, which reported:

The U.S. ambassador to Libya was raped sexually before being killed by gunmen who stormed the embassy building in Benghazi last night to protest against the film, which is offensive to the Prophet Muhammad. Read the rest of this entry »

“Sam Bacile,” Agent Provocateur: “Anti-Muslim” Movie is Fake, Conspiracy; Excuse, Provocation for Usual Muslim Attacks, Anti-Semitism; Fake “Israeli Jew”

By Debbie Schlussel

Earlier today, I told you that I suspected that man behind the movie used as an excuse for Muslim violence and murder against Americans in Libya and Egypt was a fake and an agent provocateur. And now there is more and more evidence that I was right. This alleged “Israeli Jew”–who at the same time is also allegedly a “Coptic Christian”–was a fake, a liar, and probably a plant designed to spur some predictable Muslim violence against America (violence that happens on the part of Muslims every single day without an alleged fake movie plot). And, along with that, I felt the plot was meant to spur anti-Semitism and discredit those of us with legitimate concerns about the Islamic threat. And that appears to be exactly what is going on here. The question is, who is really behind this movie? I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but as I said earlier today, I wouldn’t be surprised if Muslim money was behind this to discredit Americans, Jews, and Christians in one fell swoop or to unite people against Jews or those who expose the real Islamic threat to America. Could it be Iran? Ya never know. I mean, this is happening just as all of the Iran chatter was coming to a boil. And, don’t forget, Iran’s plot to murder the Saudi Ambassador and other officials at a Washington restaurant. I don’t put anything past the Iranian Revolutionary Guard or any other Muslim group.



Mystery: Who is “Sam Bacile”? Who Funded This Agent Provocateur?


Scene from the “Innocence of Muslims” Trailer by Imposter “Israeli Jew””Sam Bacile”

This morning, a well-known investigative reporter for a major national news media outlet called me to ask if I know of Sam Bacile or if any of my friends in the pro-Israel or Jewish communities know of him. He’s the guy the Wall Street Journal claims made the movie. The Journal claimed it talked to Bacile, that he’s an Israeli, and that 100 Jews bankrolled his “The Innocence of Muslims” flick, to the tune of $5 million. I speak Hebrew, have lots of Israeli family, and my first impression was that Bacile is not an Israeli last name and that only a moron–or, more likely, a Jew-hater seeking to incite anti-Semitism–would say, “Hey, 100 Jews just gave me $5 mill to attack Islam.” (And what he really meant was, “Hey, two American Embassies were attacked by Muslims and four Americans were murdered. And, oh, did I mention that 100 American Jews paid for that?) Also, I’d seen the trailer, and as a movie critic, I can tell you that I’ve seen several movies made for less than $100,000, all of which looked far better. There was no way this was a $5 million flick. I told the big-name reporter that I felt the whole thing was some sort of conspiracy by plants because, as I told him, Terry Jones is connected with it, and the guy can’t articulate the most basic problems or negatives with Islam. And I know he’s a fake and a con artist.

And now it looks like the whole story is collapsing and the scam is exactly as I thought. I despise Jeffrey Goldberg of the far-left Atlantic. Both he and his mag have repeatedly attacked me for getting things right, including on Lara Logan’s rape at the hands of her favorite Muslim “democrats.” But here’s what he reports, which shows my instincts were spot on:

As part of my search for more information about Sam Bacile, the alleged producer of the now-infamous anti-Muhammad film trailer “The Innocence of Muslims,” I just called a man named Steve Klein — a self-described militant Christian activist in Riverside, California (whose actual business, he said, is in selling “hard-to-place home insurance”), who has been described in multiple media accounts as a consultant to the film.

U.S. Ambassador Murder by Muslim “Democrats”: THIS. IS. ISLAM. (& the Video That Allegedly “Started It”)

By Debbie Schlussel

So, the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three of his staff were murdered (and probably tortured) by Muslims. And this is a surprise, why?

THIS. IS. ISLAM. . . .


islamiccrescent

Libyan Muslims Parade Body of U.S. Ambassador Stevens & Burn American Flag


Egyptian Muslims Storm U.S. Embassy, Replace U.S. Flag w/ Al-Qaeda Flag

Over 1.5 years ago, when I said that Lara Logan’s gang rape was to be expected from the “liberal democrats” whose “liberation” she was openly cheering in her CBS “reporting,” I was loudly attacked around the world on both the left and the right for saying so. Major newspapers and TV shows on MSNBC and CNN attacked me non-stop. I was criticized for saying this is Islam and this is how Muslims behave without dictators like Mubarak and Qaddafi to keep them in line. Apparently, I was supposed to, instead, cheer the “democrats” and shed tears for Lara Logan’s misfortune at the hands of those savages whose uncaging she cheered because apparently they were—like all violent Muslims–“not-really-Muslim” Muslims, and I was some sort of bigot for daring to say otherwise, as in: tell the truth. And yesterday, on the anniversary of the Muslim massacre of 3,000 Americans, the “liberated” Muslim “democrats” showed us, yet again–in two different Muslim nations–how peaceful and liberal and democratic they truly are. Our U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, is dead. Murdered. Supposedly suffocated to death and probably tortured before that. Also dead are four other U.S. Embassy employees. And, yet, they keep telling us that Islam is “a religion of peace.” Um, THIS. IS. ISLAM. Helloooo . . . ? In which other embassies around the world does this happen? Do Christians or Jews or Hindus or Wiccans or Zoroastrians storm our embassies, kill our ambassadors?

When there are anti-Christian movies, “art,” and crosses in urine, do we riot and kill? When there are beheadings of a Jewish baby and the >slaughter of an entire Jewish family in Israel, while they slept on the Jewish Sabbath, do we riot and kill? No, but maybe we should. Maybe the problem is that we are too calm, cool, and collected and refuse to engage and be proactive against a religion characterized by savagery all over the world. A religion that is at war with us while we are a) at the mall, or b) keeping up with the Kardashians.

Hillary Clinton is giving us the same BS excuses I was served up with from the right and the left about Lara Logan–that after the attacks BY MUSLIMS, a scant few Muslims tried to help out. I was told that Muslims rescued Lara Logan . . . AFTER over 200 Muslim men gang-raped and nearly killed her. FOX News moronette liberal-in-a-peroxided-mullet Kirsten Powers, whose husband is an Egyptian Arab, attacked me on Twitter and pimped that line of BS. Now, her fellow peroxided idiot, Hillary Clinton, is telling us how “heroic” Muslims are for rushing the Ambassador’s dead body to the hospital. Thank Heaven, er . . . allah, for small favors.

I warned that this would happen. I warned it would happen in Egypt, when I said that we should have backed our friend Mubarak because the Muslim Brotherhood-HAMAS-Al-Qaeda masses of Egypt would take over and create typical Muslim “decivilization,” or is that “uncivilization”? I said this would happen in Egypt and in Libya, and I was attacked for it. Sadly, like Cassandra, I’m right, with tragic consequences. As I said back then, we were far better off with Qaddafi in power. We had a de facto peace with him. He gave up his weapons of mass destruction and allowed our inspectors and our oil industry in. It was pursuant to an agreement President Bush made with Qaddafi, the only good thing the Bush administration did and the only positive result of our war in Iraq (which precipitated the Qaddafi rapprochement). I was against the agreement at the time, but I was wrong. Sadly, Bush, who made the agreement, has supported this Arab Spring bullcrap he started in Iraq and HAMASastan and backed the removal of Qaddafi and Mubarak–neither of which would have happened without heavy American support and involvement. And now we are reaping the rewards. As my late father used to say, “Cast thy sh-t upon the waters.” It comes back to us tenfold or more. Read the rest of this entry »

Egyptian “Democrats”: Protesters Storm US Embassy, Remove US Flag, Shout Michelle Malkin’s Fave Islam Slogan

By Debbie Schlussel

So, now, in Egypt, today, we have a Muslim/Christian Arab riot against the U.S. Embassy, which includes a complete melding of some of my most unfavorite things: Obama-Bush promotion of Muslim democracy/Arab Spring BS and Michelle Malkin’s favorite Islamic slogan about how there’s no “god” but allah and that Mohammed is his only prophet. The envious Fraudkin, on her self-masturbatory Twitchy site, attacked me and cheered on violent Muslims who called for my death, rape, and torture on Twitter, for my “crime” of calling out a boy band member for proselytizing Islam and tweeting the same slogan that the Muslims now storming the U.S. Embassy are saying, as they tear down the American flag and replace it with a black one. Remember, Egyptian Muslim Democrats, FOX News’ Michelle Malkin (the right’s own Lara Logan-esque moron) is with you! Oh, and to all the morons who keep siding with Egypt’s anti-American, anti-Semitic Christians, the Christians are part of the riot, in solidarity with Muslims. Let’s hear it for Springtime Arabia!


obamasmiling.jpggeorgebush2.jpg


Obama-Bush-Fraudkin Approved Riot By Egypt’s Newly-Minted Muslim “Democrats”

CAIRO (Reuters) – Egyptian protesters scaled the walls of the U.S. embassy on Tuesday, tore down the American flag and burned it during a protest over what they said was a film being produced in the United States that insulted Prophet Mohammad.

In place of the U.S. flag, the protesters tried to raise a black flag with the words “There is no god but [DS: allah], and Mohammad is his messenger”, a Reuters witness said.

(Don’t worry! Michelle Malkin said that is GREAT!)

Once the U.S. flag was hauled down, some protesters tore it up and showed off pieces to television cameras. Others burned the remains outside the fortress-like embassy building in central Cairo. But some protesters objected to the flag burning. Read the rest of this entry »

9/11: Best Tactical, PR Move For Islam Ever; We Are Less Safe, More PC “Blind” to Islamic Threat

By Debbie Schlussel

As you know, today marks 11 years since the best tactical and public relations move by Islam in its history: the 9/11 Islamic attacks on America. To the Muslim world–and backed up by reality, the 3,000 Americans murdered were merely collateral damage to the greater achievement against the Western world. In America, 9/11 was the catalyst for a non-stop wave of absurd accommodation to Islam, and exuberant political correctness and willful blindness to the Islamic threat on American soil. Eleven year later, we are less safe and more stupid as a nation. And we did it all because we don’t want Muslims who inherently hate us to hate us. We just wanna be loved and be the good guy. Morons. That’s what we are. That’s how the Muslim world and the Arab Street see us, as they’ve had 11 years of idiocy by which to measure our reaction to their concerted, constant attacks against us (and that’s aside from the many attacks in the decades before).


palcheers911.jpg

Sexy Palestinian Muslim on Ramallah Street Cheers 9/11 Attacks.

They say that Jews and Catholics always have guilt. Well, I’ve never seen more collective guilt for o reason than the American public and its government. In fact, it’s not guilt . . . it’s post-9/11 Stockholm Syndrome. As a result of bowing to 9/11 guilt, we have far many more Muslims on our soil as a reward to the religion of the hijackers, the religion of the Undiebomber, the religion of the Fort Hood massacre artist, the religion of the Times Square bomber. And the cancer grows. 40% of Muslims now on American soil came here in the years since 9/11, most of them under President Bush’s watch (and he quadrupled the number of Saudi student visas per year to over 60,000–none of whom will be tracked or observed by our government while they are up to no good). Almost unanimously, Muslims in America support HAMAS, Hezbollah (both of which are part of the Al-Qaeda network and the 9/11 Commission report notes Hezbollah’s extensive involvement in the 9/11 attacks), and all of the Islamic terrorist “rebels” now sweeping through the Middle East with our help. Oh, and don’t worry about Islamic guilt. There ain’t any of that. Not that we’ve seen.

While they are laughing at us, we are spending $40 million a year to maintain a Ground Zero memorial. It costs $5 million per year just to maintain silly twin reflecting pools where the World Trade Center Towers once stood. We shouldn’t be reflecting. We should be resolute against the enemy and the Towers should have been rebuilt. Reflecting is for the weak, the cowardly, the politically correct, the liberal. And yet, you are financing it. This week, Ford Motor Company is having a silly “National Week of Caring.” Um, caring about what? The only way to show you care about what happened on 9/11, is not to turn this into some ridiculous, nebulous day of national service, but to recognize what happened and who did it (Muslims, Islam), and take steps to make sure it doesn’t happen again. We’ve done none of that.

Patches from national events held by the Boy Scouts of America show what Muslims accomplished by carrying out–and cheering worldwide for–the 9/11 attacks. See below. In 2000, before the attacks, the Boy Scouts featured the symbols of the Judeo-Christian religions. In 2001, after the attacks, they added the Islamic crescent as a reward for the mass murder of 3,000 Americans. It’s not just the Boy Scouts that made Islam–the official religion of hijackers, shoe-and-undie-bombers, and Army base massacre artists–a part of everything. All of America embraced and bent over for Islam, despite the fact that the vast majority of mainstream Muslims in America support Islamic terrorism and won’t denounce anti-Semitism or anti-Christian behavior by other Muslims in America and elsewhere around the world. Despite all of the evidence–all of the Islamic terrorist attacks and attempts on America since (on Army bases, in Times Square, on airplanes), Americans are subjected to a pop culture of idiots, telling us how nice Islam is. In fact, on today’s edition of ABC’s yenta hag-fest, “The View,” Baba Wawa informed us, “The Islamic religion is in no way a violent religion . . . AT ALL.” Really? You’re gonna tell me that with a straight face? The View hags got all upset over Pat Robertson’s joke, yesterday, that a man should move to Saudi Arabia so he could beat his errant wife. Um, do Saudi men not beat women? Are you denying that they don’t allow women to drive and that they force them to be accompanied by a male guardian whenever they go anywhere? That Saudis don’t allow women to own any property? Are we really supposed to pretend that these things are not the stark reality? Especially on the 11th anniversary of 15 Saudi men (and four other violent Muslims) hijacking American planes and murdering 3,000 Americans? Read the rest of this entry »

Obama Sends Major US Corps to Prop Up Egypt’s Ruling Muslim Bro’hood – Coca-Cola, Exxon, Pfizer

By Debbie Schlussel

Well, Obama is finally doing something to fix the economy. The Obama administration sent representatives of major U.S. corporations to jump start it. The problem is, it’s not our economy. It’s the jihadist one in Egypt. Corporate execs were sent to prop up Muslim Brotherhood rule over Egypt. Sadly, Coca-Cola, Exxon, and Pfizer, were part of the group and plan to do business with pro-HAMAS Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi.



obamasmiling.jpg

This reverse corporate welfare to prop up the parent organization to HAMAS and Al-Qaeda is frightening and could have far-reaching consequences. Don’t be surprised if these companies start giving more and more money to HAMAS CAIR in the U.S. and other radical malefactors that enable and even fundraise for Islamic terrorism and intolerance.

CAIRO – A delegation of more than 100 American business leaders is touring Cairo this week, part of a White House-led effort to burnish Egypt’s image as an investment destination and help restore the country’s flagging economy.

Yup, screw America’s economy. Obama is concerned about a more important economy–that of ground zero for jihad.

The delegation forms the crux of a wider U.S.-led effort to prevent the economy of Egypt—which Washington sees as an important security ally—from becoming more destabilized.

Washington and Cairo are in the midst of negotiating the terms for about $1 billion in debt relief and U.S. diplomats have said they are nudging the International Monetary Fund toward extending a $4.8 billion loan to Egypt’s government.

Egypt’s newly inaugurated president and prime minister on Sunday reassured regional executives from U.S. firms including ExxonMobil, Coca-Cola Cos., and Pfizer Inc. that they plan to restore the kind of political stability and growth that had made Egypt a regional economic champion before its revolution early last year.

Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette Should be Prosecuted (But Won’t Be): “No Easy Day” & the “60 Minutes” Interview

By Debbie Schlussel

Did you see last night’s CBS News “60 Minutes” interview with former Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette (some sources say his real name is Mark Bisonnette) a/k/a “Mark Owen”? If you missed it, I’ve posted the video below. The author of “No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden” says he is one of two SEALs who shot Osama Bin Laden in last year’s raid on the crappiest-looking “mansion” ever–the Bin Laden compound in Abottabad, Pakistan. The interview was timed to coincide with the release of the book.


Yes, the interview was interesting and riveting. Yes, it was cool to see and hear what the raid was like, the planning that went into it, and how it went down. And it answered a gawker-like curiosity: who the SEAL that shot Bin Laden was, what he looks like, and what his mannerisms are? But America does not need to learn this information. And a Navy SEAL disclosing it is no different than a U.S. soldier releasing thousands of classified documents via Wikileaks. Different motives, but the same illicit behavior. It’s a national security risk. And a huge violation of what Mark Bissonnette agreed to do when he signed the agreement every Navy SEAL must sign, agreeing to keep details of his missions confidential.

For those on the right who want to make this about a SEAL exposing frauds told by Barack Obama, that’s ridiculous. This isn’t about Obama or “getting” him politically. Obama will be gone in four months or four years. But the damage of what Mark Bissonnette did will last far longer and is more important than politics: government officials breaching top secret clearances and classified restrictions that are there for a reason. And for that Bissonnette should be prosecuted, but he won’t be. He won’t be prosecuted because . . . good luck finding a jury who will convict and send to prison the man that killed the mastermind of the largest massacre of Americans on U.S. soil (or anywhere else).

Bissonnette claimed in last night’s interview that he didn’t release any confidential information or breach any restrictions regarding the disclosure of sources and methods. But I’m not so sure. And he can’t be either. The Pentagon says there is classified information in the book, and Pentagon officials would know this far better than Bissonnette, who is trained to do his job, not to know which details are a secret and which aren’t. That’s for the military brass to decipher, not him. Read the rest of this entry »
