Good news from Gitmo

Finally, some national security news to cheer:
A U.S. judge refused to release two Guantanamo terrorism suspects on Tuesday and upheld the government’s authority to keep them, after ordering freedom last month for five prisoners whose case led to a landmark Supreme Court ruling.
Federal District Court Judge Richard Leon said in two separate rulings the government had shown enough evidence to justify holding Yemeni citizen Moath Hamza Amhed Al Alwi and Tunisian Hisham Sliti as “enemy combatants” linked to al Qaeda or Taliban forces.

The terror apologists in the human rights community are up in arm, of course. They want the dangerous detainees freed immediately.
But as I wrote in my column last month on Obama’s second-thoughts advisers and supporters now refining their position on preventive detention to accommodate reality: “Nothing clarifies the mind like a jihadi boomerang.

The B2s made the round trip to Baghdad from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. They and the B1Bs could fly from Israel to Tehran and hang around for a few hours without refueling.

Armor school: If it doesn’t blow up, shoot it again. Repeat as necessary.
The .50 Cal on my tank was my personal weapon; the .45 was for keeping crap off the back deck.

lgm,
Why are you stuck on “evidence?” It is irrelevant. One more time lgm; this is NOT Cops and Robbers. The people we have captured are Prisoners of War captured in combat zones. If some are criminals that is a whole different manner.
10% of the Gitmo crowd may be criminals, but 100% of them are POW’s and until hostilities cease there they stay. If hostilities do not cease, well they die of old age. Sucks to be them, but they should have considered that when they chose to pick a fight with us.
I noticed that for all of your pontificating your response to my statement, “I see no sympathy or outrage from LGM or any other liberal over the butchering, torture, and disfiguring of US soldiers capture,” remains TOTAL AND COMPLETE SILENCE from you regarding ANY critcism of terrorists or their conduct.
Your silence speaks volumes about how you view of Americans in uniform, terrorists, and your support of what they are trying to do to this nation and its citizens.
You remind me of William Kunstler, the “progressive” lawyer who defended the Chicago 7 in the 70’s. When asked why he had not denounced the butchering of Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge (1.8 million people, 25% of Cambodia’s population), Kunstler responded, “I make it a point to never criticize the actions of a socialist country.”
Kunstler would be very proud of you lgm. Like Kunstler, in your world view I am your enemy so those who oppose me, like those wonderful jihadists are justified in doing anything that puts me and those like me where we belong up to an including a grave.
The Left does not dissent; they sympathize. That is why their actions are treasonous.
Artillery School: Why quibble when you can take out the grid square.
Happy, Aloha, Flyover -
Actually, it was proven that a lot of the Gitmo detainees were actually just out hunting pheasants and got caught in the cross-fire (I think it was researched by a good-looking reporter from MSNBC).
lgm – your response in #84 is a reference to Dr. Strangelove? Really? Poor effort.
Good thing Special Forces got to them before the DNR. They could have really been in trouble then.
True. I also use an AK for Pheasant hunting, with an occasional IEB (Improvised Explosive Birdbath) thrown in for good measure. But those phone calls to al Qaeda should be exempt from NSA listening, and only sealed divorce records of your political foes should be public knowledge.
Aloha,
Small point, but it was child custody hearing records that I believe were the issue, and contained the juicy stuff. Both Jack and Hopefully Senator Presumptive Jeri Ryan had agreed to make the divorce records public.
There are no small points in the law as Georgetown likes to point out to me in their daily emails. I will take my medicine…
Even uglier though to make things public which can hurt the kids.
