Laura Mansfield has the lowdown on al Qaeda second-in-command Ayman Zawahiri’s new 9/11 anniversary call for every Muslim to “make use of every opportunity afforded him to take revenge on America for its imprisonment of Sheikh Umar Abdel Rahman”–mastermind of the 1993 WTC bombing. There is also a generic warning: He tells the people of [...]

***scroll for updates and liveblogging…side by side video comparison*** Remember that “viewer discretion is advised” post I did on Friday featuring TS’s mock warning slate for ABC? Allah captured the real-life slate ABC aired before “Path to 9/11″ began this evening. Click for the vid and live comment thread. More to come: Running commentary from [...]

I’ve got a book review of Popular Mechanics’ excellent book, “Debunking 9/11 Myths,” in today’s New York Post. Here’s an excerpt: I GET several e-mails from 9/11 conspiracy theorists every week, usually typed in all capital letters with minimal punctuation and maximum sputter. Here’s a typical message I received last Tuesday: “It appears you are [...]

Reader William observes: Originally, TV listings showed Path to 9/11 as being commercial free for three hours tonight and two hours tomorrow night. Now ABC’s web site shows tonight’s episode as only 2.5 hours, followed by a special 30 minute Nightline (no doubt with many Democratic guests.) Likewise, tomorrow’s episode is only 90 minutes, having [...]

Moonbat America is beyond parody. Yesterday, I told you about Bremerton, Washington’s 9/11 commemoration–commemorating “diversity” and immigration and anything except the actual events, heroes, victims, and villains of 9/11. Well, here’s more inanity from the Pacific Northwest. First, take a look at a few of the King County (WA) library system’s Sept. 11 programs (hat [...]

Clint Taylor spreads the word on Fox News.

Free Republic remembers two of its members killed on 9/11, the effervescent Barbara Olson (screen name: BKO) and NY firefighter John Moran (screen name: BCM). *** Related: In case you missed it, Peggy Noonan’s piece, “I just called to say I love you,” is a must-read.

How will moonbats commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks? By talking about anything except the terrorist attacks. Here’s a prime example from Bremerton, Wash (via the Kitsap Sun): In the hours after the September 11th attacks, many Kitsap residents — stunned and unsure where to go — went to their local [...]

TS at Seixon (hat tip: Allah) has helpfully crafted a TV slate for ABC to “insert into every scene the champions of free speech nutroots or poor Bill Clinton objects [to] (because, from the looks of this massive jihad they are waging , it appears ABC will be using this slate quite a bit):” The [...]

***scroll for updates*** From the nutroots in full-blown Rove Derangement Syndrome mode… To the top of the Democratic Party… …the protests against ABC’s 9/11 docu-drama, “Path to 9/11,” have become completely unhinged. The Ostroy Report says this morning: In a story in Friday’s New York Times, former Governor of New Jersey and co-chair of the [...]

***update: Dems threaten to pull ABC’s license in protest of Path to 9/11…more…*** ABC caves, as you all probably know by now. So does this mean the Google Bomb campaign is off? Well, no. Because if you appease bullies and thugs, it emboldens them even more. It’s a lesson nobody ever seems to learn. *** [...]

So you think you can jihad? …offers a timely reminder of the Saudi connection to 9/11 and urges Muslims to kill Americans in Iraq: The Arab television channel Al-Jazeera broadcast a video which it said showed Osama bin Laden and suicide candidates of Al-Qaeda preparing the September 11, 2001 attacks against the United States. Al-Jazeera [...]

My toast to Miller.

Mohammed Taha, editor-in-chief of the Sudanese private daily Al-Wifaq, was found decapitated on a Khartoum street Wednesday. He had been kidnapped by masked gunmen. A few arrests have been made; the BBC reports “no-one has claimed responsibility but suspicion will immediately turn to Sudan’s hardline Islamic groups.” What did Taha do that cost him his [...]

I had to read it several times to make sure it was genuine, but it really is true: Washington Post columnist David Broder calls out the left-wing media for its Rove Derangement Syndrome: For much of the past five years, dark suspicions have been voiced about the Bush White House undermining its critics, and Karl [...]

What happened to local San Diego-based Fox News reporter John Mattes? He suffered cracked ribs, apparent bite wounds, and lacerations to his face trying to investigate a long-running identity theft and real estate scam. The story is here. The wife and husband seen attacking Mattes in the video were released on bail tonight.

On the left, DU’ers prepare a mass Google-bombing campaign against ABC’s 9/11 docu-drama, “The Path to 9/11,” because of its critical look at the Clinton years: To counteract the effects the ABC 9-11 movie could have on the midterm elections, I recommend this course of action: The night of, and the morning after, people will [...]

Take my pop quiz. President Bush gets a point for “caliphate” yesterday.

In effigy. On Sunday. In Los Angeles. In front of the radical King Fahd mosque. To commemorate 9/11. Bring shoes.

***update: see also Dafydd’s thorough slice-and-dice at Big Lizards*** Tenacious bloggers are not letting the MSM off the hook for the dubious Qana ambulance incident this summer. Zombie has an update with responses to various media attempts to debunk the debunking. The Herald Sun’s Andrew Bolt shreds a report by reporter Sarah Smiles of The [...]

Something to cheer about this morning: “I’ll shoot your ear off or I’ll take your toe, because you’re not going to take my purse away from me.” You go, granny!

The black flag of surrender Milblogger Bill Roggio warned about Pakistan’s deal-making with the Taliban. Now, Bill reports on the establishment of the Islamic Emirate of Waziristan and has details of the “truce” (that is, surrender) meeting: The news of the Pakistani government signing a truce agreement with the Taliban in North Waziristan is far [...]

I’m getting tons of reports from readers and bloggers who are receiving stock e-mail replies and blog comments posted by Miller Media Relations denying that they sponsored the Chicago illegal alien march this weekend and claiming that the company supports the full enforcement of immigration laws. I also received the boilerplate CYA statement. Here it [...]

I think the rise of the milblogger is one of the most important, and revolutionary, information innovations of our time. Matt of Blackfive–Matthew Currier Burden–launches a book this week compiling front-line dispatches from soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s called The Blog of War. Buy it here. Read more at Blackfive. Congrats, Matt, and thanks [...]

I haven’t been a regular prime-time evening news viewer in years. Decades, it seems. Katie Couric isn’t going to change that. I’ll tune in to see Rush Limbaugh on Thursday, and then tune out after that. Rush talked about his role on the CBS Evening News this afternoon and why he accepted Couric’s invitation: Early [...]

President Bush will deliver a speech later on today assessing progress in the War on Terror. Andy McCarthy has what you should look out for at The Corner. Coverage starts at 1:20pm Eastern. The White House released some advance info on Bush’s remarks, which includes this: Bush has said on many occasions that the country [...]

In Tennessee, liberal activists are busy registering ex-felons to vote in time for the November elections. Tipster Tom sends a press release issued by the local NAACP chapter: 100,000 Ex-Felons Gain Right To Vote In Tennessee – In Time For November Elections On September 5, 2006 at the Clarksville – Montgomery County Board of Education, [...]

That’s the reported deal being negotiated for the release of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. There’s conflicting info, though, on where Shalit is and whether this swap is real. Ynetnews says: “London-based Arabic-language newspaper reports kidnapped soldier has been recently transferred from Gaza to Egypt ahead of anticipated prisoner exchange. Shalit’s father, Noam: According to [...]
