Report: Who are the “Fort Jackson Five?”
Erick Stackelbeck has the exclusive on a disturbing news development at Fort Jackson in South Carolina:
CBN News has learned exclusively that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas. It is unclear whether the men are still in custody. The five were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base.
The men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.
A source with intimate knowledge of the investigation, which is ongoing, told CBN News investigators suspect the “Fort Jackson Five” may have been in contact with the group of five Washington, DC area Muslims that traveled to Pakistan to wage jihad against U.S. troops in December. That group was arrested by Pakistani authorities, also just before Christmas.

American Haji.
…and Obama parties on…
I hope there was a quiet courts martial, and, in the case of a guilty verdict, a quick dose of military justice.
Just as we should be doing at Guantanamo.
Now that makes me mad. I have fond memories of the food at Fort Jackson.
Are they going to make a “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy for Muslims in the military?
I’m sure they were just trying to translate the food at Fort Jackson into the same Arabic cuisine mom used to make.
Yes, I have fond memories of Ft Jackson. Always serving VICTORY PUNCH before every meal (salt peter). Go Blue Spaders!
Obama is late. He normally runs to the camera to make the statement, “It appears to be an isolated incident. Terrorism is not a factor.”
Really? In the Coast Guard at Governor’s Island (1970′s), we would have dubbed the poison a “flavor enhancer”.
And we’re just hearing about this now?
Is the food at Fort Jackson classified, or is there something they don’t want the public to know?
It is nice to see that the peaceful, loving adherents of the “Religion of Peace, Love, Tolerance, Understanding, Mercy and Compassion” are putting themselves forward as such excellent examples of the gentleness, the mercy, the compassion, the respect and value of others’ lives and safety and well being of the members of the “Religion of Peace, Love, Tolerance,” etc.
It is good to see they are out there “Representin’” and not committing any violent acts and hatefilled acts like those mean, nasty Infidels do.
We used to do our commissary shopping at Foat Jacks’n.
The Navy commissary in Chawston sucked, and the Air Force commissary was marginally better.
Plus, we could stop at the Krystal’s in Columbia and get a six pack of burgers. MMMMMMMM
Inquiring minds want to know more!!! I did see a small blurb on Fox but far less than this post…
Hopefully more information will be released and more will be learned.
One of these days – one of these attacks is going to make it through and a lot of people are going to get killed. Ft. Hood was one such case.
In the meantime BigSis is giving guilded tours and information to CAIR about airport security….
Can we please get rid of the mooslums now?? Any of them who even hint of being anti-American have to be deported. And PLEASE, for the love of God, don’t let any more in! What is it going to take? This is so obvious, yet we do nothing!
Gateway Pundit has more. Not much more, but it’s a start. Ace of Spades HQ is covering it as well.
Obowmao: The Pakistani authorities acted stupidly!
“Oh yeah Barry? I’ll speak with yo mama outside”
This could get ugly. Time for a beer summit.
The Army C/S will be on tomorrow assuring everyone that it’s only an isolated incident and the fact that they’re Muslims is mere coincidence. At this point, you have to look sideways at every single Muslim in the military, no matter how innocent they may seem.

I get the /sarc, but the truth, of course, is that many of the adherents of the Koran believe that it instructs them to make war, not peace, and it has always been that way.
*I hate to say it, but there are mornings I wake up and turn on F&F half-hoping that we would have been hit by a dirty bomb of some sort just to get the powers that be to realize what most of us already know: We are engaged in a holy war against a 7th century invented religion of death cult savages!
*Don’t know what is worse, a Bush that was willing to fight what he would not recognize, or a hidden Imam in the White House intent on destroying us from within!
Whatever you do, do not let the public know what the religion of peace is doing. In America, and Canada.
Now, keep allowing the religion of peace into this country. While the CFR is at it, do not secure the southern border, get that Homo marriage thing going, and push the world into Moloch worship of murdering their babies.
Sarc/off!
PS, I almost forgot. Get the American tax payer into hock with the CHICOMMS just enough to cause the Amero to be created.
Yea, I’m wayyyy off base on this one.
Hey caberski! Semper Paratus!
everything you might want to know about the “09 Lima” program, except who’s not doing the security checks properly.
We had a mohammedan in the Army attack and kill officers in Kuwait. The mastermind DC sniper was a mohammedan who was accused of attacking his leadership (no resolution – It just went away). The mohammedan shrink at Fort Hood kills 14 people and wounds 38.
I’m not saying that no follower of Islam can be a patriotic American; I’m just pointing out that whatever crimes are committed by others in the military the motivation isn’t likely to be religious fanatacism.
Hope is not a plan; not all change is good. WE are the civilian national security force! Where’s Roland when you really need him? The resistance is here; the resistance is now. RESIST!!!!

Yeah, Barry usually rushes to the cameras, except when there is something against Muslims. Then he is dragged kicking and screaming.
And when he can, he shushes it up.
AND BESIDES, we all know that it’s all Bush’s fault, like everything else.
Please people, please. Let’s not rush to judgment here. This is/was NOT an act of terrorism! The system worked.
[/sarc]
islam is not comaptible with America.
Did the US release them back to their native countries to improve their jihad training? I vote for a free express trip to Gitmo.
More “Soldiers of Allah” it seems, at least at first blush.
Welcome to asymmetrical warfare. I’m afraid the prospect of enemy infiltrators in the ranks is more serious than first thought.
The good news from the arrests, one hopes, is that this realization may also be sinking in where it counts.
It’s amazing how something Muslim/Military can be burried for 2 months.
Same thing occured to me.
If it’s not a big deal, why are we only hearing about it now?
If it is muslim extremists, WhyTF are we only hearing about it now?!
My memories of Fort Jackson only involve Tank Hill. I took basic there in 1964 and by the time eight weeks was up I had been called so many names by my Drill Sergeant (and yes, I still remember his name)the first thing I did on leave was to check my birth certificate to make sure I was legal.
Really? I remember being out in the field and getting thermites full of green, runny scrambled eggs.
Oh yeah, they forgot the silverware too.
Basic training. Good times 
Oh c’mon. You guys are just reacting with “ignorant feelings”. I mean, really, did anyone die? And even if they had, you would just be getting into a fearful position lashing out and not thinking through what is reasonable and appropriate.
John Brennan says so.
On a serious note, did Jug-ears and his punks sit on this since two terrorist attacks in one month would show their incompetence too clearly?
Were they Mirandized immediately and provided appropriate civilian legal help?
Tank Hill was still “in use” in ’87, and still memorable.
.
Our military, at the command of our civilian executives,steadfastly refuses to give any attention to the issue.
They refuse to grapple with the fact that they have SERIOUS traitors and enemy agents in the ranks.
They refuse to realistically study our enemy and his ideology.
THIS CANNOT STAND.
muslims that are not terrorist are the slave class. like Germans to Nazis. but we can not wage a war on Terrorists w/o waging & defeating the source, shield, and foundation, which is all muslims & the Koran. its the way to win a war, you must defeat the source. and a cowering muslim still supports the war waging muslims. until we defeat them all, & liberate the Arabs from Islam.
You better pack a lunch. There are over a billion of them, and of that probably 200 million are true believers.
Now that ticks me off. My son just graduated with D Co. 3-13th Inf. this month. That means these “wonderful people” wanted to poison him.
I’m going to restrict my comments to that, as I have nothing civil or decent to say on the matter.
They sure had a way with a pork roast back in the day. Nowhere else have I ever encountered such moist, succulent pig.
Back at ‘ya, deadlywit!
Within 48 hours of the Twin Towers attack PC clowns from virtually every western government (religion of peace?) were going to mosques telling the jihadist we hold no grudge. Thus the Fort Jackson Five and all other incidents were a given. Throw in Open Borders No Control of the leaders of both political parties and muslim terrorism on our shores is again a given. Again and again we hear “But the great majority of muslims” with little or no evidence. All over arabland they danced in the streets on 9/11.
But not to worry: Important People do not fly commercial and have lots of well armed armed body guards. We are on our own.
Yesireebob. Those at the top of the “evolutionary scale” are the important ones, at least that’s how it’s looked at by many sitting in the nosebleed section of class snobbery.
There is a few more chefs for food network, maybe they can get their veggies from Obama’s garden too.
My experience with Fort Jackson was limited to three days in the reception area before heading to Fort Gordon for boot camp. What stands out in my memory more than anything was the barbecued ribs.
Feels a little like skating on thin ice
Or daring the devil
They only disseminate news immediately when it embarrasses G.W. Bush.
You’re only hearing about this now because most courts martial have a media posture of “response to query” only.
This simply means the military has trials all the time, but if no media asks about it, they wouldn’t know. (unlike civilian DAs who press-release every move)
Often the results are public, but not much details are published outside the gate. Of course, the higher-profile cases that “get out early” are followed by gaggles of reporters, for example the Abu-Garib trials held up at Ft. Meade a few years back.
Good local military beat reporters just outside the gates often track these things down first. Not sure how this one came to light.
This should make the military less inclined to play politically correct, and start investigating these muslims in our midst. How many examples must our service men and women suffer through before the military starts looking at their new bff’s. A muslim soldier grenades his comrads, a muslim shrink attacks his comrads, these 5 muslims plot to poison their comrads. This isn’t the comradery most soldiers sign up for. They are willing to fight the enemy, but the enemy shouldn’t be standing behind them because some political pc crap says we need to integrate muslims. I attended the Monterey language school way back when to learn viet namese, which lasted 9 months, and allowed us to interrogate captured vc just fine. Is farsee harder than viet?
Not to make light, but they should have tried to poison the food at a Marine Corps base. No one would have noticed the difference.
My son heads out to Ft Jackson in 3 days for Bootcamp…oh joy…I dont think this happened at the recruit mess-hall, well, not sure, but thats what Im telling my son.
Me, too. The par 3 hole number 2 over water on the Old Hickory course.
Sweet.
Has Janet Napolitano fully informed Hamas of the details yet?
Not unless it slowed them down to Army speed…
Hey, it’s a joke…
Gee – hope this doesn’t disrupt the focus on diversity in that little social experiment we like to call “The US Military”.
It will be interesting how Fox News addresses this on Beck,O’Reilly,Hannity and there other news(?) programs.
We know now that a Saudi Prince is the second biggest owner of FNC. A buddy of Obama. Let’s keep an eye out to see if they even mention this and how they mention it. I have emailed an article about this to them so they will have it.
Does the expression “We will win without firing a shot” come to mind?
I know you guys all want this story to be true, but …
From the Army Times:

Army Investigates Alleged Attempt by Soldiers to Poison Food at Fort Jackson
Actually, I DON’T CARE if the allegations are true or not. Devout Muslims cannot swear an oath to defend OUR Constitution and remain devoted to Islam–they are mutually exclusive. We just cannot allow practicing Islamists to serve and maintain good order and discipline. They will not serve two masters–they believe they have a DIVINE mandate to kill ALL non-believing people because the Koran tells them to. I smell military cover-up for several reasons, one of them being the time-delay before any of this information got outside the Army. We cannot allow practicing Muslims to serve.
I posted this story with the reference to the CBN blog on another website and the “usual suspects” (lefties, marxists, progressives, liberals, or whatever you want to call them) immediately started questioning the story because it came from someone at CBN.
I reminded them of this quote from John Adams: “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclination, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
May I ask why you think CBN is the only outlet with the facts in this case? CBN hasn’t exactly been a model of factual reporting. The reaction you got from people has nothing to do with the facts in this case. And the few details we know about this case right now does not support the CBN report in any way.
CBN pulled its report and is now reporting what the Army Times is reporting. No correction. They just deleted the previous report. You guys consider this a news outlet?!? Pathetic.

Thanks for proving my point!
Fort Jackson: The Latest
Fox did mention the story but failed to say it centered around muslims…you just had to use your imagination. Aww, they were just translators. When I got all p@#sy sideways he wanted to know how I knew it was muslims? Well, from what I’ve read the only other group that would speak many of these languages are Jews and our military isn’t real keen on using them for translators. Stupid, stupid policy. We are our own worst enemy.
I must learn to preview – especially with wet nails….s/b – my husband wanted to know how I knew it was muslims.
Greyhawk, over at Mudville Gazette, posts about this, noting two things, the first being:
For his second observation he links to Donald Sensing’s take on it, noting that:
Both links are worth your attention.
I just hope the US Army is watching nuclear ordnance specialists with a bit more scrutiny than they are watching cooks…
I wonder what they will say when a few nuclear warheads go missing or detonate in a US city? My guess is Obama already has a “blue ribbon committee” working that that statement now!
Cue the 7 Imam’s lawyers; file frivolous lawsuit and 2 years from now the new “Jackson Five” will each be millionaires. Bank on it.
There ought to be a fairly simple way of checking the loyalty of the Jackson 5 and that is by having their translations checked. As bad as the food poisoning incident is, imagine for a moment that the translations are a fabrication that will lead our troops into the teeth of the enemy oversees. The Army is rightfully cautious here but there is a great difference between exoneration and “no credible evidence so far”.
