WaPo Vindicates Cheney

Oh, what a bitter pill this article must have been [emphasis added]:

After enduring the CIA's harshest interrogation methods and spending more than a year in the agency's secret prisons, Khalid Sheik Mohammed stood before U.S. intelligence officers in a makeshift lecture hall, leading what they called "terrorist tutorials." ...

...These scenes provide previously unpublicized details about the transformation of the man known to U.S. officials as KSM from an avowed and truculent enemy of the United States into what the CIA called its "preeminent source" on al-Qaeda. This reversal occurred after Mohammed was subjected to simulated drowning and prolonged sleep deprivation, among other harsh interrogation techniques.

Of course, the Post tries to vitiate their sins against the Left by quoting some of KSM's hollow bravado:

"During the harshest period of my interrogation I gave a lot of false information in order to satisfy what I believed the interrogators wished to hear in order to make the ill-treatment stop. I later told interrogators that their methods were stupid and counterproductive. I'm sure that the false information I was forced to invent in order to make the ill-treatment stop wasted a lot of their time," he said.

Yeah, sure, whatever. Methinks you sang like a canary after being subjected to a "torture" so horrid that smelly hippies performed it as street theater at anti-war protests.

Obama Seeking Absolute Control of Internet

After word of a secret scheme to take control of the Internet leaked out this spring, Jay Rockefeller and his aides revised it:

The new version would allow the president to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "non-governmental" computer networks and do what's necessary to respond to the threat. Other sections of the proposal include a federal certification program for "cybersecurity professionals," and a requirement that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been awarded that license.

Not just "no," but "hell no."

First High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIP) Log Obtained

The Obama Administration has decided to put interrogations of top-ranking human-caused political catastrophes (or whatever insipid euphemism they're using now for TERRORISTS) under a new group answerable only to the White House.

Below is a transcript of an Interrogation Log using the new Rules For Guest Combatant Questioning obtained by The Dread Pundit Bluto from a confidential source.

TOP SECRET VELVET TONGUE

INTERROGATION LOG
DETAINEE 317

17 AUGUST 2009

0930:

The detainee arrives at the interrogation lounge. His sunglasses are removed and he is seated in an overstuffed La-Z-Boy recliner with massage option. SGT A and SGT R are the interrogators. A DoD linguist and MAJ L (BSCT) are present. MS Z (Amnesty International) is present as an observer. MR H (ESQUIRE) is present as detainee counsel.

0935:

Session begins. Detainee is given a mocha latté grandé and offered a selection of croissants and pastries. Detainee sips mocha latté grandé and complains that it is too hot. Detainee spits mouthful (appr. 2 oz.) into SGT R 's face, calls him "infidel goat-lover". MS Z (AI) demands that SGT R check temperature of beverage. SGT R determines that the mocha latté grandé is five (5) degrees fahrenheit above optimum serving temperature and apologizes to detainee. MS Z (AI) states for the record that detainee is being abused according to the Durbin Conventions. MR L (ESQUIRE) states that a complaint of the "Nazi-like" treatment will be filed.

0940:

SGT A tells detainee that information from other sources implicates detainee in plot to detonate nuclear device somewhere in Manhattan, asks detainee for details of plot. Detainee denies involvement, but states that he hopes that the bomb will have enough power to, "...wipe all of the filthy infidel pork-eaters off the face of Allah's Earth." SGT A remonstrates with detainee, stating that "many innocents" will perish in attack and asks for detainee's help in preventing "...this horrible terrorist outrage." Detainee selects a pastry.

0945:

MS Z (AI) and MR L (ESQUIRE) call halt to interrogation. MR L (ESQUIRE) strenuously objects to use of term "terrorist" by SGT A . MS Z (AI) criticizes SGT A for "...applying Western values..." to detainee and notes that potential civilian victims of alleged plot are engaged in work to "...further the schemes of the capitalist warmongers of Western hegemonic imperialism." SGT A apologizes for "thoughtless characterization". MS Z (AI) demands that SGT A direct his apology to detainee. SGT A complies.

0958:

Session ends. Detainee is returned to Guest Suite. Detainee notes that, the previous night, air conditioning in Guest Suite was set at 73 degrees fahrenheit and that Room Service served him filet mignon that was well done when he specifically requested medium rare. MR L (ESQUIRE) states for record that a complaint will be filed and he will "...see that this inhuman gulag is closed down".

Parody (duh), and still sweet after its original posting in 2005.

NY Governor Paterson [who is African-American and legally blind] Blames His Problems on Racism

It's a gigantic Aryan plot involving millions of ordinary New Yorkers and thousands in the media according to David Paterson [who is African-American and legally blind] appointed governor of New York State after Elliot Spitzer's [who is European-American and morally handicapped] dalliance with a whore:

"We're not in the post-racial period," Paterson [who is African-American and legally blind] said in a freewheeling interview on the liberal talk-radio station WWRL. "My feeling is it's being orchestrated, it's a game, and people who pay attention know that."

Or, you could just be an incompetent assclown who's driven the state to the brink of bankruptcy.

Then the governor [who is African-American and legally blind] bemoaned the lack of propaganda cover:

"We don't have the kind of forces in the community that we had before, in other words, our black media outlets," the Democratic governor [who is African-American and legally blind] continued.

Patterson [who is African-American and legally blind] predicts that Honkey Ofay Whitey Crackers will attack the President [who is African-American and ethically challenged] next:

"The next victim on the list -- and you see it coming -- is President Barack Obama [who is African-American and ethically challenged], who did nothing more than try to reform a health-care system . . . only because he's trying to make change," Paterson [who is African-American and legally blind] said.

Some change, socializing another huge chunk of the American economy to go along with his acquisitions in the automotive and financial industries.

Paterson, STFU you spineless puppet bastard.

Day of Shame for Scotland

From Breitbart:

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) - The only man convicted in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 returned home to Libya to die after he was released from a Scottish prison Thursday, a decision that outraged some relatives of the 270 people killed when the jetliner blew up over Lockerbie, Scottland, more than two decades ago.

But the President stepped up to the plate with regret for the Scottish capitulation and a sharply worded warning for Libya:

President Barack Obama said the Scottish decision to free terminally ill Abdel Baset al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds was a mistake and said he should be under house arrest. Obama warned Libya not to give him a hero's welcome.

The President's warning had its effect:

Despite the warning, at the military airport in Tripoli where al-Megrahi's plane touched down thousands of youths were on hand to warmly greet him...At home, al-Megrahi is seen as an innocent scapegoat the West used to turn this African nation into a pariah, and his return is a cause for celebration. There was a festive atmosphere with some wearing T-shirts with al-Megrahi's picture and waving Libyan and miniature blue-and-white Scottish flags. Libyan songs blared in the background.

Well done, Scots. I'll never again listen to "Scotland the Brave" without laughing out loud. Scotland should change their flag to reflect the Scottish Lion being boned by a goat.

Scots to Release Pan Am 103 Lockerbie Murderer

Best argument to date for capital punishment:

Sky News television and the BBC reported Wednesday that al-Megrahi will be released from prison on compassionate grounds. The BBC added that his release had been expected before the end of the week. Neither network cited the source of its information.

Al-Megrahi, 57, has terminal cancer.

He was convicted in 2001 of taking part in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 on Dec. 21, 1988. The airliner — which was carrying mostly American passengers to New York — blew up as it flew over Scotland. All 259 people aboard and 11 on the ground died when the aircraft crashed into the town of Lockerbie.

There's even a Mumia-style movement of braindead and evil Eurotrash to get his conviction overturned. All this fuss could have been avoided if this vicious animal had been put down after his conviction.

Brits Force Everyone Into 'Burkinis'

In a weird echo of the Victorian era, swimmers are required, during special Muslim sessions at public pools across the UK, to wear sharia-acceptable bathing attire:

Under the rules, swimmers – including non-Muslims – are barred from entering the pool in normal swimming attire.

Instead they are told that they must comply with the "modest" code of dress required by Islamic custom, with women covered from the neck to the ankles and men, who swim separately, covered from the navel to the knees.

This is where a show of civil disobedience would be useful. That is, of course, if the British Bulldog hasn't been neutered yet.

This Old Man, He Shot Four...

...don't play knick-knack at his door.

Confronted by four gun-wielding robbers, 72-year-old Charles Augusto, Jr., a Harlem business owner, pulled out his 12-gauge pump and blew two of them to kingdom come. Unfortunately, the other two thugs were only wounded.

From MSNBC:

The 72-year-old wholesaler of commercial restaurant equipment had been up all night, questioned by police about how he'd drawn a shotgun and killed two of four armed robbery suspects who entered his Kaplan Brothers Blue Flame store Thursday afternoon.

Two of the young men died on the street. Two remained hospitalized in stable condition with gunshot wounds.

While police confiscated the shotgun, they haven't charged Augusto with failing to have a permit for the weapon. At least until some assistant district attorney decides the publicity would benefit his career and insists on charges.

Augusto, who deserves one of those medals that the Obamessiah is handing out to America-hating leftists, better keep his powder dry. His neighborhood seems to have a lot of sympathy for the devil:

"He [one of the criminals] died in the hands of God," said a neighborhood resident, Vincent Gayle, pointing to the blood-spattered pavement by the church. "But what goes around comes around."

Augusto is white. The race of the robbers was not disclosed. If they're black, get ready for some Sharptonization of the incident.

'Death Panels?' We Doan Need No Steenkin' 'Death Panels'

Because we've got Peter Singer, high priest and prophet of Utilitarian Bioethics advising the President.

I wrote about Singer's particular flavor of evil four years ago regarding the case of Terry Schiavo:

Terri Schiavo's starvation also represents a triumph for Utilitarian Bioethics, the special project of Princeton professor Peter Singer. Shorn of the argot of Academia, Utilitarian Bioethics is a philosophy that sees human happiness as a zero-sum game. Therefore, all resources, including medical should be doled out on the basis of what will best increase the total of human happiness, which sounds benign enough until the real ramifications become apparent. Adolf Hitler executed many who were not Jews, but who were blind, lame, or mentally retarded. Adolf Hitler was practicing Utilitarian Bioethics. The ethos clearly calls for withholding medical care from, and even murdering, those who are less than perfect. This can mean anyone with a physical or mental defect, or even anyone without the capacity to experience "happiness" fully enough to satisfy the Bioethics Committee.

In this article, Singer anticipates the final triumph of secular humanism:

During the next 35 years, the traditional view of the sanctity of human life will collapse under pressure from scientific, technological, and demographic developments. By 2040, it may be that only a rump of hard-core, know-nothing religious fundamentalists will defend the view that every human life, from conception to death, is sacrosanct.

Is this the sort of person that should be advising an American President?

Ofay Be a Brother

From CNN:

An African-American man has pleaded guilty after being accused of impersonating a white supremacist in a fictitious Facebook account to make death threats against an African-American university student.

Dyron L. Hart, 20, of Poplarville, Mississippi, pleaded guilty Wednesday before U.S. District Judge Kurt D. Engelhardt to one count of communicating threats in interstate commerce, according to a Department of Justice statement.

Hart admitted creating the fictitious account in November, pretending to be a white supremacist outraged by the election of Barack Obama as the nation's first African-American president, the statement said.

Facebook sock puppets, mystery swastikas popping up, pictures of Obama with a Hitler mustache created by union goons. Damn, you'd think there was a propaganda war going on or something.

You Little People Are So Tiresome

Race Card Played In Healthcare Debate

Someone painted a swastika on a sign outside the district office of Democratic Georgia congressman David Scott. Scott hopes to use the incident to make the healthcare debate all about race and nothing else:

Scott, who is black, said he also has received mail in recent days that used N-word references to him, and that characterized President Barack Obama as a Marxist.

"We have got to make sure that the symbol of the swastika does not win, that the racial hatred that's bubbling up does not win this debate," Scott said in a telephone interview. "There's so much hatred out there for President (Barack) Obama."

We can now expect opponents of socialized medicine to be characterized as "racist," regardless of the fact that Marxism and socialism are not races.

Scott said he is "optimistic" to see if the perpetrators of the vandalism were caught on surveillance cameras. Probably won't happen if the swastika drawers are familiar with the building, like if they work there or something.

BBQ Mystery Solved?

Having eaten Dinosaur Bar-B-Que before (it's the area's best-known BBQ spot) I was frankly surprised when Good Morning America announced that the Dinosaur had been named the best BBQ in the country.

Sure, it's good BBQ, but the best America has to offer? I actually prefer the BBQ that chain grocery store Wegman's offers. WTF?

Then I found this story. Former Nazi collaborator George Soros, owner of the Democrat Party, quietly bought a seventy per cent stake in the Dinosaur last year.

Mystery solved.

UnAmerican Activities

With Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer ready to set up a new unAmerican Activities Inquisition, let's take a look at the actual words of some prominent Obamacare cheerleaders:



If you oppose this socialist Trojan Horse, well sir, you're "unAmerican," according to the Speaker of the House. But your President welcomes your reasoned debate...so long as you agree with him.

I Kin Haz Kitty Porn?

Yeah, this'll fly in court. From USAToday:

Keith Griffin of Jensen Beach is charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography. He told investigators he was downloading music and his cat jumped on the keyboard after he had left the room. When he returned, he found "strange things" on his computer, according to the sheriff's report.

Just a Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love

From my personal list of the top ten things I'd rather not hear about:

Woman Sets Fire to Man's Genitals:

A Greek woman set fire to a British man's genitals at a club after he allegedly made sexual advances on her.

That's bad enough, but here's the worst paragraph of all:

The man is currently at in a Heraklion, Crete, clinic being treated for second-degree burns to his testicles and penis.

White House 'Fishing Trip' May Be Illegal

Holy devil and deep blue sea Batman!:

"The White House is in bit of a conundrum because of this privacy statute that prohibits the White House from collecting data and storing it on people who disagree with it," Judge Andrew Napolitano, a FOX News analyst, said Friday.

"There's also a statute that requires the White House to retain all communications that it receives. It can't try to rewrite history by pretending it didn't receive anything," he said.

"If the White House deletes anything, it violates one statute. If the White House collects data on the free speech, it violates another statute."

New adjective for the Obama administration: Nixonian.

Obamacare Protesters Assaulted

Union thugs have attacked Obamacare protesters in the wake of the President's order to "punch back twice as hard".



Update: Ruh-roh. Carnahan staffer arrested for assaulting protesters? Thanx to commenter Mongol at The Jawa Report.

Pakistan Taliban Leader Mehsud Exterminated

From Sky News:

Pakistan's Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud - who had a £3m bounty on his head - is dead, his second-in-command has told Sky News.

Molvi Faqir Muhammad confirmed the death after widespread speculation over the militant group chief's demise in a US missile strike on Wednesday.

Kafayat Ullah, an aide to Mehsud, said he died along with his second wife during the attack in South Waziristan.

Mehsud - who has links to terror organisation al Qaeda - declared himself leader of the Pakistan Taliban, grouping around 13 factions in the north-west, in late 2007.

Excellent, let us celebrate this scumbag's departure (NSFW):

First Open Racist Approved For High Court

The Supreme Court can't look like America if you don't accept people who believe certain races are inherently superior.

From Breitbart:

The Senate confirmed Sonia Sotomayor as the first Latino U.S. Supreme Court justice Thursday, a victory for President Barack Obama.

The Senate voted 68-31 to confirm Obama's nominee to the top court, largely along party lines. Nine Republican senators joined the Democratic majority to vote for Sotomayor, 55.

Now that the racist glass ceiling has been shattered, which racists shall we elevate next? Skinheads, New Black Panthers...perhaps only a wise Latina woman can help us decide.

Cornyn Attacks Obama Scheme To "Flag" Dissenters

Here's an update on Obama's sinister plot to identify Americans who disagree with his plans for healthcare.

Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) is poking big brother in the eye.

From Agence France Presse via Breitbart:

"I am not aware of any precedent for a president asking American citizens to report their fellow citizens to the White House for pure political speech that is deemed ?fishy? or otherwise inimical to the White House?s political interests," John Cornyn of Texas wrote US President Barack Obama..."I can only imagine the level of justifiable outrage had your predecessor asked Americans to forward emails critical of his policies to the White House," Cornyn wrote, referring to former president George W. Bush.

Report to the Commissar

Some interesting reading at the official White House website:

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

Monitor your friends for correct thoughts. It is your duty to the state to report subversive conversations.

Children, if your parents are making seditious remarks at home, be sure to report them to your Obama Youth leaders.

I'm Sure There's a Logical Explanation For This...

...that includes the phrase, "lying socialist bastard."

Coming to America

Hugo Chavez's latest outrage:

Thousands of demonstrators gathered around the offices of 34 broadcasters that were taken off the air in Venezuela after President Hugo Chavez argued they abused free speech.

I guess the broadcasters weren't "fair." Maybe Venezuelans need a Fairness Doctrine. Yeah, that's the ticket, a Fairness Doctrine and some indoctrination in Politically Correct speech.

Couldn't happen here; never in a bazillion years.
