A continuation of . Here’s a touching news report from Israeli TV on Marine Private First Class Colin Joseph Wolfe, who gave his life in Iraq, and 1LT Adam Tiffen, a Jewish lawyer who joined the Army and is serving there now. Most of the video is in English. The Hebrew part is not important, so you need not understand it, except for two facts: As of the time of this video (which was posted on YouTube in mid-March), 14 Jewish American soldiers gave their lives in Iraq, and there are 2,500 Jewish U.S. soldiers serving there.
Also, I’d be remiss if I forgot to mention my friend, Army SPC, Joe Kashnow, an Orthodox Jew whose leg was shattered and nearly lost to an IED in Iraq. Joe’s important, informative site, Jewish Soldier, also details in photos and articles the Jewish soldiers serving in Iraq. Then, there are Jews in Green and the Jewish War Veterans. Check them both out.

The sickening thing about this video are the responses from members of the “Religion of Peace” posted on YouTube. Here’s a selection:

You can tell a lot about a reporter’s agenda by the adjectives he or she uses. In a New York Times whitewash of the mosque of four of the Fort Dix Six terrorists, the adjectives border on the absurd.
New York Times reporter Alan Feuer wrote a piece on the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society of Philadelphia, the mosque of Philly cab driver Mohamad I. Shnewer, as well as Eljvir, Shin, and Dritan Duka (who were repairing the mosque roof)–all four were Fort Dix Six terrorists (really 10–four terrorists were released and won’t be charged). Here’s how he describes the mosque:

It is the best-kept building in its North Philadelphia neighborhood, a blighted urban landscape dominated by the crumbling brick pile of the abandoned Gretz brewery across the street.

Islam’s Playground: Is Your Plastic Slide Feeling “Cheerful” or “Glum”?
This is a lie. How could “reporter” Feuer possibly know this is the best-kept building in the neighborhood? Did he personally go inside and examine every single building in the neighborhood. Of course not. He wrote this to impress upon us the “neatness” and “well-kept” state of this mosque, because only messy people are terrorists, right? Or because their neat and well-kept building, of course, trumps any plot the mosque might be connected to, to “kill as many [American] soldiers as possible.” Right?
NYTimes: Black people in urban North Philadelphia–blighted, unkempt, abandoned crumbling buildings. Muslim Arabs and Albanians–“best-kept building.” We get it.
Then there is this hilarity:

On weekday mornings, students from the mosque’s large religious school shoot hoops on two tidy basketball courts or slip down the cheerful plastic slides.

“Tidy basketball courts?” Have you ever seen an “untidy” basketball court? Me neither. “Cheerful plastic slides”? Hmmm . . . what makes a slide “cheerful”? Are there slides that are angry or sad? Have you ever seen kids go down a “glum plastic slide”? I was not aware that playground structures could express emotions. But, hey, what do I know? I don’t “report” for the New York Times. I guarantee you: Had Feuer been reporting on a church playground–well he never would have mentioned that a church had a playground, because we can’t portray churches as child-friendly–I guarantee you the slide would be a “depressed plastic slide.”
NYTimes: Muslims’ playground structures are happy, cheerful. Their basketball courts are neat and tidy. Therefore, they could not have a thing to do with Islamic terrorism, right? Because everyone knows that if your plastic slide is cheeful and your basketball court is tidy, you’d never preach hate or approve of Islamic terrorism and the mass-murder of American soldiers. Nevuh Evuh.
Then there is this absurdity:

It is unclear what role, if any, religion played in the attack.

Hmmm . . . the Fort Dix Six (Ten) were all Muslim. They talked about how “Allah will provide” for their families when they are gone. But religion had nothing to do with it? Maybe Allah is code for Donald Trump in the Official New Mosque Slang Dictionary.
Then this:

The lengthy criminal complaint summarizing the FBI’s 15-month undercover investigatoin of the group does not mention where–or how often–they prayed. Certainly, there is no evidence that they picked up radical ideas at either mosque.

Uh, how often they prayed is not relevant. And the New York Times just told us at the beginning of this article where they prayed–that four of ’em prayed at this particular mosque, the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society. I guess the reporter has a short memory from the beginning of writing his articles to the end. And since the case has not even been tried yet, how can he say that “certainly, there is no evidence”? He does not even know what the evidence is yet. Hello?
And finally, “reporter” Feuer tells us that the mosque couldn’t possibly be involved in terrorism or preaching hate because when Philadelphia Police Captain Bill Fisher’s–head of the Philly PD’s civil affairs unit and liaison to the city’s Arabs–wife died of cancer three years ago, “the mosque sent a fruit basket.”
Yes, terrorists are never nice to your face. They’d never send a fruit basket to keep you fooled, to keep useful idiot allies on their side. Would they? Taqiyyah, my friend. Taqiyyah.

Hey, . Here’s another fact-laden post for your “” (PoRN):
Remember how I told you that Department of Homeland Security “leadership” sent ICE “leadership” a questionnaire asking how many agents have college degrees? It was designed to force ICE to justify its Customs functions (and likely it’s very existence).
I’m a college grad. But, hey, if you spent four years partying at drunken frat parties or learning about the virtues of Madonna in a liberal arts class, that’s far more valuable to law enforcement than if you were a beat cop learning actual law enforcement, right?

I am now hearing that by the end of the summer–and likely before–there will be no more “Customs” in ICE–Immigration and Customs Enforcement. What was once the nation’s oldest and most successful law enforcement agency (U.S. Customs Service) will be absolutely kaput.
The name of the agency will change to Immigration and Criminal Enforcement–an original idea for the agency’s name, which was tabled because it ignored the Customs functions. Under the new and unimproved ICE with a new name, Legacy Customs agents–the ones with college degrees–will be transferred to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the U.S. Secret Service to replace agents in those agencies who’ve retired or quit. Some will remain in ICE, but will no longer pursue any Customs Investigations whatsoever.
Every employee at ICE in the know is wondering about his/her professional futures . . . except The ICE Princess–ICE Chieftess Julie L. Myers. She’ll improperly occupy her job until the end of this year, unless Senator Wyden removes his hold on her nomination and the rest of the idiots in the Senate confirm her, which is doubtful.
Agents rightfully worry that the Customs mission–investigating violations of Customs laws, including money laundering and weapons smuggling will fall through the cracks. No-one knows which agency–if any at all–will investigate violations of those laws, making the engagement thereof fair game for terrorists and other criminals.
Dumb question: Wasn’t the creation of Homeland Security and the creation of ICE perpetrated to eliminate the INS? While that was a bad idea, for sure, it hasn’t even turned out that way. Instead the INS has reconstituted with the worst of Customs running it, while the old Customs agency has been eliminated instead.
Way to do, Michael Chertoff a/k/a Mr. Burns and The ICE Princess. You’ve regressed a long way, baby.
I hope I am wrong about these rumors and that, instead, separate Customs and Immigration agencies are set up, like they used to have before the DHS Debacle. We’ll see. Like I said, I hope I’m wrong and that my sources are, too. But it appears they are right.

**** IMPORTANT UPDATE, 07/05/07: Please read my 07/03/07 ****
Sometimes–so many times–diversity is not what it’s cracked up to be.
Just ask Joseph Applebaum. Well, you could ask him. But you won’t get an answer. He’s dead. And he’s dead because he was a Jew, and his doctor is a Muslim and grad of “Ayman Al-Zawahiri” Medical School.
But Applebaum wasn’t denied treatment for being a Jew in Egypt. Or elsewhere in the Muslim world. It happened right here on U.S. soil. In Chicago.
As Muslim doctors continue to flood into the country under lax immigration laws, hospitals around the country have acquired their fair share of them. Many hospitals in the Detroit area are now dominated by Muslim doctors and have been for some time.

Joseph Applebaum, Z”L*: Muslim Doctor Refused to Treat Him, Let Him Die
But even in hospitals where they do not predominate, Muslim doctors are starting to demonstrate behavior toward non-Muslim patients that is beyond alarming.
On December 1, 2003, Joe Applebaum was admitted to Rush North Shore Medical Center, a major hospital in Chicago. He was stricken with an acute (or distended) abdomen–a swelling of the stomach that is easily diagnosed and treated. But it was never treated by anyone at the hospital. For 12 hours, Joe Applebaum was left alone–left to die, which he did the next day.
A Jewish man, he was identified as a Jew on the front page of his medical chart. The chief resident doctor assigned to treat Mr. Applebaum, Osama Ahmed Ibrahim, MD, sure noticed the religious notation on Applebaum’s chart. And it appears that this is why he never once checked or examined this emergency patient, Mr. Applebaum, and left him to die. When another doctor at the hospital finally examined Mr. Applebaum–not his assigned doctor, Dr. Ibrahim, he told Applebaum’s son, Michael, to say good-bye to his father because he was about to die.
Dr. Ibrahim, is a Muslim from Birmingham, England–a hotbed of Islamic radicalism and terror planning. It is breeding ground for anti-Semitic hate. He is a graduate of Ain Shams University Medical School in Egypt. This extremist school featured on its faculty the father of Al-Qaeda mastermind and number two, Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri. Pere Zawahiri was a Muslim Brotherhood activist.
Other Ain Shams faculty members and grads include:

* late HAMAS leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin;
* Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Mahdi Akef;
* LAX terrorist shooter Hesham Mohamed Hedayet;
* Extremist Canadian Imam, Aly Hindy; and
* Co-leader of Yemen’s extremist Al-Islah Party, Abdul Majeed Al-Zindani.

Why did Dr. Ibrahim neglect a patient who came in with an easily treatable condition and leave him to die, 12 hours later? It appears it can only be because he did not want to treat a Jewish patient and let him live. There can be no other reason.
Mr. Applebaum’s son, Michael, is a medical doctor and an attorney. While he was waiting for Dr. Ibrahim to see his father, he called Dr. Ibrahim and alerted him to the growingly severe condition his father was in and that his father was suffering from an acute abdomen. Dr. Ibrahim claimed he examined Mr. Applebaum. But that was a lie. He’d never seen him.
And he essentially murdered him by denying treatment. It’s a case of extreme negligence and medical malpractice for the apparent purpose of anti-Semitic murder.
Joseph Applebaum’s son Michael is now suing Dr. Ibrahim, the hospital–Rush North Shore Medical Center, and others involved in his father’s murder. The case is filed in Illinois, and he is looking for a good attorney to pursue the case he has filed. If you are interested or can help, please contact him at the website he set up to document this ongoing tragedy.
This isn’t the only case where a Muslim doctor deliberately let his Jewish patient die, it is just the first that we know of. And it likely won’t be the last.
Muslim doctors–especially those from foreign medical schools deep in the world of anti-Semitic, anti-American hate; but many from here, too–have backgrounds that are incompatible with the basic level of care that is required and expected in America. Sadly, no-one is vetting them out of our healthcare system. And no-one will.
But we know that there are many doctors who’ve been at the forefront of taking lives–not saving them–in the name of the “Religion of Peace”:

* Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri–Al-Qaeda mastermind and number two man, reportedly a surgeon and/or psychiatrist;
* Dr. Mohammad Rabi Al-Zawahiri–Ayman’s father and a Muslim Brotherhood enthusiast, pharmacologist and professor at Ain Shams Medical School;
* Dr. “Abu Hafiza”–Al-Qaeda master planner who was the brains and commander of the Moroccan cell that provided logistics for the 9/11 attacks, and he recruited Qaeda insurgents for battles in Fallujah, Moroccan psychiatrist;
* Dr. Abdel Aziz Al-Rantisi–Late HAMAS leader, pediatrician;
* Dr. Mahmoud Al-Zahar–HAMAS co-founder and leader, surgeon and lecturer at the Islamic University in Gaza;
* Dr. Fathi Abd Al-Aziz Shiqaqi–Late founder of Islamic Jihad and active in Fatah, physician;
* Dr. George Habash–Founder and chief of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), pediatrician (which is interesting since he rocketed a school bus full of children in Avivim, Israel;
* Dr. Bashar Assad–President of Terror-sponsor state Syria, welcoming home to every Islamic terrorist group imaginable, ophthalmologist.

And there are other issues, such as infectious disease. We are no seeing cases in Britain in which some Muslim doctors refuse to wash their hands with alcohol-based disinfectant, per the Muslim prohibition on alcohol consumption.
In New Jersey, , a Muslim Arab resident, severed and stole the hand of a cadaver as a gift for a stripper. Such little respect for life from a religion now very much participating in a profession that takes an oath to do no harm and to preserve patient’s lives. Not only did he get a slap on the hand–no jail time and, likely, no criminal record–but he currently has a job practicing medicine at Maimonides Medical Center in New York. The real Maimonides–a legendary, brilliant Jewish doctor, rabbi, and religious scholar–is turning over in his grave.
Perhaps, Dr. Applebaum’s suit against Rush North Shore Medical Center will make hospitals think twice before they hire Muslim doctors inclined to practice Medical terrorism against their patients. Today, the victim is a Jew, solely because he is Jewish. But tomorrow, it will be a Christian, solely because he/she is a Christian. Or some other non-Muslim victim, solely because he/she is a non-Muslim victim.
Can we afford to have doctors in America whose allegiance to their patients is far less than their allegiance to an extreme observance of a religion of hate? If they cannot and will not tender care, they should not be licensed to practice medicine in the United States.
Like I said, Maimonides is turning over in his grave. Joseph Applebaum, *Zichrono LiVrachah–Blessed Be His Memory.

Last year, I told you about the kidnapping and in France.
They burned cigarettes on him, they cut off his fingers, and did assorted other barbaric acts on him, until he finally died. Muslim neighbors of the murderers heard his last screams of extreme agony, but did nothing.
Unfortunately, the same continues in France, from which Jews are leaving in record numbers. At the end of April, a French Jewish woman was beaten, brutalized, and carved by Muslims. They originally wanted to steal her cellphone, but saw a Jewish ornament on her neck and proceeded to attack her, including carving swastikas into her chest.
Here’s the account from Arutz Sheva/Israel National News:

French Muslim Sign by David Lunde/Lundesigns

A young Jewish woman was brutalized by two Muslim Arabs in France Thursday.
Audrey Brachelle, 22, was attacked in the French city of Marseilles Thursday evening. The attack began as she walked back from her job as an accountant at a textile factory toward the metro station in the La Rose neighborhood of the city, which is home to many Jews.
Two Arab men followed her and attempted to steal her cell phone. After they grabbed it, the attackers noticed the Jewish ornament on the woman’s necklace, at which point she says they realized she was Jewish and began focusing on brutalizing her rather than stealing her phone.
The men then punched her in the face, sliced her dress with a knife and carved at least one Nazi swastika into her chest. They also cut off a clump of her hair.
Despite the swastikas and epithets expressed by the attackers, the French government is hesitating to admit that the attack was an anti-Jewish one. . . .
France is home to a huge community of Muslim Arabs, who have enjoyed the nation’s liberal immigration policies but brought with them the anti-Semitism of their nations of origin. . . .
The Jews of France are still reeling from the events of last year. In February, 2006, the murder of Ilan Halimi shocked the French Jewish community. Halimi was kidnapped by French Muslims and brutally tortured to death.
Just last week, Rabbi Elie Dahan, rabbi of Nord-Pas-de-Calais in northern France, was violently attacked by a man who yelled “dirty Jew” at him while pummeling him in the face at the Paris North train station.
In a step reminiscent of pre-Holocaust times, the Chief Rabbis of France and Norway have called on Jews in those countries not to go outside with obvious Jewish symbols.

I typically hide my Jewish jewelry when I wear it outside, because there are so many Muslims in the greater Detroitistan area who would maim or kill me if they got the chance. And the Bush/Gonzales Department of “Justice” moves, inexcusably, very slowly on the very serious death and torture threats I’ve received from local Muslims.
If you don’t think what happened to Audrey Brachelle and Ilan Halimi will ever happen in America, think again. We’ve already had previews with various Muslim shooters and attackers around the country–from the UNC Muslim who drove into students with his jeep to the Muslim who murdered people at the Jewish Community Center of Seattle to the Trolley Square Muslim terrorist who shot and killed several people execution style. And, fortunately, the Muslims who plotted against Fort Dix were caught. Well, six of them. The other four involved will not be charged because of the claim that there isn’t enough evidence. That’s right–there really isn’t a “Fort Dix Six.” It’s the “Fort Dix Ten.”
Coming to America? Nope. It’s already here. Because our immigration policies are now worse and more lenient than France’s. And this is what is in store for our future because of it.
As for France, not only would I not want to live there, it’s not even a nice place to visit.
“Religion of Peace”? More like Religion of Pieces . . . as in, Cut You to Pieces.

**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE ****

I am constantly besieged with e-mails from anti-Semites who claim that Jews don’t serve in America’s military and that none are serving in Iraq. Both statements are extremely false. And even Mark Twain wrote extensively about the service of America’s Jewish soldiers. My cousin–a career Air Force man, whose name I’m not publishing for security reasons–served for a year in Iraq and was also serving in Kuwait. (My father was a Captain in the Army during Vietnam, and my great-uncle Maurice, a high-ranking career Army officer, served in World War II and became head of Veteran’s Services for the South Pacific under the Veteran’s Administration.)

And there are plenty of other Jewish American soldiers serving in Iraq. Since the war started in 2003, I’ve been sent plenty of photos of Jewish U.S. troops lighting the menorah (candelabra) in one of Saddam’s palaces on Chanukah or celebrating Passover, conducting the traditional Seder dinner in their tents. I’ve been meaning to post them, but unfortunately, didn’t get to it. So, I’m proudly posting this one from a recent issue of Newsweek, of Jewish soldiers praying in Iraq. . . .

AD: Learn about Military Loans.

**** UPDATE: There are many brave soldiers, but I’d be remiss if I did not mention my friend, SPC Joe Kashnow, an Orthodox Jew and 3rd generation Army man who nearly lost his leg to an IED in Iraq. Joe’s site is Jewish Soldier. His leg was shattered.
And there is another friend, Retired Major General Sidney Shachnow, a Holocaust survivor, who only recently retired from being the very first Chief of Staff of Special Ops for the U.S. Army (he was THE top Green Beret).

What do you do when a video swirls around the world of you drunk off your rocker, trying to eat a burger, and you insisted your young daughter make the video?
Well, if you’re Cheesy-in-Chief “Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff you make a cameo in some anti-Bush comedian’s Vegas act and join in. It’s bad enough that, last year, Hasselhoff repeatedly . Then, last week, while the Hasselhoff drunken burger video was top news, that’s exactly what “The Hoff” did. Now this. Here’s the scoop from reader Greg, who was visiting from Canada:

Hey Debbie. Your favorite Cheeseman, The CheeseHoff himself showed up at comedian (he wasn’t very funny, frankly) Gordie Brown’s show at the Venetian, in Las Vegas, on Tuesday night. Our favorite actor/singer/cry baby and Bush-hater cheered wildly every time Gordie did his imitation of GWB, which was disturbingly frequent, and a pervasive theme throughout his 90 minute set. Gordie took every opportunity to mock Republicans and bash GWB, and, at the end of the show, introduced his “great friend and great man” David Hasselhoff, to the audience, bestowing praise upon him, as if he was some form a maligned victim of the social media. I had a hard time holding down my own cheese from dinner as “The Hoff” blew adoring kisses to the audience, while holding his arm around a young lady that I really, really hope was just his daughter.
Frankly, I wish both of their respective careers melted and drained to the floor like so much microwaved Velveeta!
Love ya.
Greg

Hmmm . . . Is this really a guy who is in a position to make fun of the President?

Figures in the latest Hamas v. Fatah violence:

* 15 killed on Tuesday; and
* 40 killed since Sunday.
“Religion of Peace,” baby! And they want Israel to make peace with these barbarians who can’t even get along and are killing each other? The best part about this violence is that it keeps them from focusing on their real joint targets: Israel, America, Jews, Christians, Infidels. May it continue forever and without end. And may both sides lose.

Two-and-a-half cheers to Swift Packing for saying “NO” to demanding Muslim employees who wanted special breaks to pray. (Swift loses 1/2 a cheer because they employed illegal aliens, and were raided for it by ICE, last year.)
Almost 100 Muslim workers quit because Swift would not give in to their Islamic demands. If only –would take a cue from Swift.
Now, watch for the Muslims and their buddies at CAIR to start a class-action lawsuit, pronto.
One question: Since Swift previously hired illegal aliens (and was raided by ICE for it), how many of these Muslims are here legally?

More from AP:

Grand Island, Neb. – Nearly 100 Muslim workers have quit their jobs at a Swift & Co. meatpacking plant because their prayer times weren’t accommodated.
“They kind of issued the company an ultimatum,” said Dan Hoppes, president of Local 22 of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.
“They went in before the shift started (Monday) and said that they’d go unless they could pray when they needed to,” Hoppes said today.
Sean McHugh, a spokesman for Swift at its Greeley headquarters, said breaks are governed by a labor contract and that all employees are told about them during orientation for all new workers.
“The company has a history of making reasonable accommodations for legitimate religious practices,” he said Monday. “Swift has experienced no issues related to religious accommodations in recent years.
Hoppes said he believes the workers, who he said were Somali immigrants, had been offered jobs at a Kansas plant that would give them time off for prayer and make other accommodations for their religion. He didn’t know the name of the company.
Hoppes said the union contract contained no provisions for prayer, which for many Muslims is a minimum of five times a day.
“They had talked to a couple of our representatives,” Hoppes said, “but you can’t go into the middle of the contract and renegotiate those types of things. You’ve got a lot of different nationalities at the plant, a lot of different religious beliefs.”
He said the company had tried to work with the Muslim employees, telling them: “‘These are your break times. Can you fit it into that?'” But, Hoppes said, “if you take a hundred people out of that line, you gotta shut down the line. . . . It’s a real touchy subject.”

Thanks to reader Alex for the tip.

You know how Democrats constantly whine against Islamic terrorist detainment in Guantanamo Bay?
Well, guess where they’d like to put the terrorists? In your neighborhood.
The May 21st issue of Newsweek reports that in the past two weeks, Democrats have introduced bills in the House and Senate to not only close Gitmo within a year, but to transfer the detainees to jails in the U.S. or their home countries. Newsweek obtained a memo drafted by the House Armed Services Committee that identifies 12 military brigs where there’s space to house these cretins.

This is designed to do several things to America and the detainees–all of them bad. Not only will terrorists be in your neighborhood, but they will have access to the U.S. Justice system–the one which brought you the O.J. and Al-Arian acquittals. And they’ll have access to our immigration system, clogging it with phony asylum claims. If they hit the right immigration judge, that could even mean citizenship for Gitmo terrorists.
Or, it is designed to horrify Americans so much by the very prospect of Islamic terrorists welcomed to our soil, that we will insist they be sent home without facing justice.
Meanwhile, AP reports that yet more of the ex-Gitmo terrorists are engaged in terrorism yet again:

Former Guantanamo detainees have organized a jailbreak in Afghanistan, kidnapped Chinese engineers and taken leadership positions with the Taliban, the U.S. military said Tuesday.
The former detainees were released from the prison at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba between 2002-2004 by claiming to be innocent or low-level figures, the military said in a statement, responding to questions about ex-prisoners who have allegedly resumed fighting.
The Pentagon gave brief descriptions of six detainees, including two it said were killed in fighting in Afghanistan, which the U.S. invaded to oust the Taliban regime following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States.
The statement suggested that the six were released from Guantanamo by mistake.
“These former detainees successfully lied to U.S. officials, sometimes for over three years,” said Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon, a Pentagon spokesman.
Last week, a Pentagon official, Joseph Benkert, testified to Congress that about 30 former detainees have rejoined the fight against the United States. Other U.S. officials have made similar claims about prisoners at Guantanamo, where the military now holds about 380 men mostly on suspicion of links to al-Qaida or the Taliban. . . .
The military said two of the men were killed in Afghanistan: Mohammed Yusif Yaqub, a commander of Taliban operations in southern Afghanistan who died in May 2004 while fighting U.S. forces, and Maulavi Abdul Ghaffar, a Taliban leader killed in a September 2004 raid by Afghan security forces.
A third man, Mohammed Ismail, was captured during an attack on U.S. forces near Kandahar.
The military also said Abdullah Mahsud, released in March 2004, was discovered after his release to have links to the Taliban and al-Qaida. He allegedly directed the kidnapping of two Chinese engineers in Pakistan in October 2004.
The other two on the list were Abdul Rahman Noor, who was released from Guantanamo in July 2003 and “has since participated in fighting against U.S. forces near Kandahar,” and Mohammed Nayim Farouq, who “renewed his association with Taliban and al-Qaida members,” after his July 2003 release.

And we want release these people into the U.S. or elsewhere?!
The Democrats’ plan for Gitmo terrorists is like the old Snickers bar slogan: Any way you slice it, it comes up nuts.
