Marc Thiessen’s must-read book, Courting Disaster, skyrocketed to #9 on the NYTimes best-seller list this coming week.
Thiessen has relentlessly exposed how the Left and Obama are sabotaging all the effective intelligence-gathering programs that the Bush administration created to prevent jihadi attacks after 9/11 — and how media propagandists are helping them.
Here’s one of his latest [...]

As I reported last week, al Qaeda fixer Aafia Siddiqui turned a federal courtroom in Manhattan into her own Cirque du Jihad.
Today, she was convicted of attempting to murder a U.S. serviceman in Pakistan. Proof that civilian trials for terrorists work? Hardly. Note that while KSM named her as a principal in U.S.-based plots [...]

“From A to Z.”

Make sure you tune in or Tivo:
THE FORT HOOD COVERUP: LESSONS NOT LEARNED
Tonight on CSPAN
(WASHINGTON, DC) – House Republican Conference Secretary John Carter and fellow House Members will address the politically-correct scrubbing of the Department of Defense Report on the Fort Hood Shootings tonight on the floor of the House, after the 52-page DOD [...]

My syndicated column today expands on Tuesday’s blog post about the Aafia Siddiqui terror trial debacle in New York City (see here for background/links) and what it portends for the future. Yes, I call it Cirque du Jihad. The White House and DOJ are now scrambling to cook up contingency plans for their jihadi show [...]

President Obama’s rhetoric meets reality, again.
After pushing hard to try Gitmo detainees in New York City, the White House has now ordered the Justice Department to try and find other venues. They are still insisting on shipping suspected jihadis to federal courts on U.S. soil.
It’s going to be a long, [...]

Mo’ money.

The Siddiqui circus.

He was reported to have been “drunk” last week on the plane that was diverted.
Do you buy that?
Just asking:
A charge of interference with a flight crew is likely to be filed Monday against Muhammed Abu Tahir, whose allegedly disruptive behavior led to an Atlanta to San Francisco airline flight being diverted to Colorado Springs, [...]

As I mentioned yesterday, my syndicated column today spotlights the abysmally lax visa issuance policies at Hillary Clinton’s State Department — a problem that festered before 9/11 under GOP and Democrat administrations alike and continues now (hello, James Riady).
Take a look again at what the White House 6-page summary report says about [...]

American taxpayers forked over nearly $70 million to Yemen in security aid last year. The Yemeni government is demanding more now in the wake of the Crotch Bomber attack.
What they don’t want: U.S. troops to help them fight jihad effectively:
Yemen’s foreign minister said Wednesday that his country opposes any direct intervention by U.S. or [...]

Stuck on stupid.

Last week, I spotlighted the dangerous catch-and-release jihadi programs at Yemen and Gitmo.
The Times of London has a new report today on the bloody wages of jihadi recidivism:
At least a dozen former Guantánamo Bay inmates have rejoined al-Qaeda to fight in Yemen, The Times has learnt, amid growing concern over the ability of the country’s [...]

How about kicking off the New Year with a stark reminder that jihadists don’t just hate us because of Iraq and Afghanistan? The Religion of Perpetual Outrage hates all infidels. The targeting of the Danish Mohammed cartoonists is a lingering pretext to demonstrate that centuries-old, Koran-inspired hatred. If it isn’t cartoons, it’s always something else. [...]

My column today spotlights Yemen’s dangerous catch-and-release program for terrorists — and ours. But before you read it, please inform yourselves of this sad passing: American sailor/U.S.S. Cole bombing survivor Johan Gokool died in Florida yesterday. He lost a leg in the attack and suffered severe PTSD. Gokool was 31. R.I.P. and never forget.
In [...]

Five days after the Christmas Day bomber tried to blow up NWA Flight 253 over Detroit, President Obama is still on vacation in Hawaii. He has delivered two hasty, tie-less statements on homeland security from a makeshift podium in Honolulu whose underwhelming sum impact has been the equivalent of voting “present” (Obama’s career m.o.) By [...]

Jihadists never rest.
And their m.o. has always been: Try, try again.
Hello:
The Associated Press has learned that a second Nigerian man has been taken into custody aboard a jetliner in Detroit after locking himself in the airliner’s bathroom.
A law enforcement official tells the AP that the incident took place aboard the same Northwest flight that was [...]

The Independent of London has a piece up today on the wealthy, pampered lifestyle of would-be Christmas Day bomber Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab.
The Nigerian elite enginnering student studied at one of Britain’s leading universities, “lived a gilded life” and “stayed in a £2m flat.”
The Independent says Abdulmatallab’s privileged status is “surprising” — “a very different [...]

Yesterday, ABC News reported that al Qaeda recruiter and Fort Hood jihadist spiritual advisor Anwar al Awlaki was asked by Nidal Hasan if it was okay to kill American soldiers.
After mocking U.S. intelligence in an interview with al Jazeera, Reuters is reporting early this morning that Awlaki has been killed in a military strike in [...]

How do you say “chutzpah” in Arabic? Because Fort Hood jihadist Nidal Hasan and his lawyer have got a hell of a lot of it:
The lead defense attorney for accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Malik Nidal Hasan says he will file a motion complaining his client’s civil rights are being violated.
Belton attorney John Galligan told [...]

He was supposed to be near death…four months ago.
Yesterday, he “disappeared” from his home and hospital, via the Times of London:
Mystery surrounded the Lockerbie bomber last night after he could not be reached at his home or in hospital.
Libyan officials could say nothing about the whereabouts of Abdul Baset Ali al-Megrahi, and his Scottish monitors [...]

From the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, news of a campus murder that appears to be more than your average street crime:
Richard T. Antoun, a respected Binghamton University anthropology professor who grew up in Shrewsbury, spent his entire career seeking peace. His work focused on bridging the divide between religions and cultures, particularly in the Middle [...]

Scroll for updates…

How quickly the Fort Hood jihadi massacre has faded from the public radar screen.
Don’t let it slide.
In Colorado, there’s a new development involving shooter Nidal Hasan and the jihadi imam Anwar al-Awlaki:
An arrest warrant for a radical Islamic cleric who has become an important figure in the Fort Hood shooting investigation was withdrawn [...]

When will we learn? Paul Sperry, veteran investigative journalist, Hoover Institution fellow, and author of the explosive “Muslim Mafia,” reports on yet another security-undermining scandal at Gitmo.
Must-read in the NYPost today:
A number of Arabic and Pashtu interpreters at the terror-war detention center at Guantanamo Bay are under active investigation for omitting valuable intelligence from [...]

A new Rasmussen poll confirms the blindingly obvious about the deadly nature of blind diversity. It’s good to see the American public waking up to reality. But it’s a damned shame it keeps taking new rounds of jihadi eruptions to jolt them to the truth:
Sixty-three percent (63%) of U.S. voters say political correctness prevented the [...]

Never forget. Act now.

“Their assessment is negative.”

No, it’s not a joke:
One of the world’s most famous children’s toys, Barbie, has been given a makeover – wearing a burkha.
Wearing the traditional Islamic dress, the iconic doll is going undercover for a charity auction in connection with Sotheby’s for Save The Children.
More than 500 Barbies went on show yesterday at the Salone [...]

If there is a shining example of just how dangerous it is for America to give foreign-born jihadists the full panoply of American constitutional rights and all the attendant benefits of a civilian trial, it is Lynne Stewart.
I’ve written about her treacherous collaboration with the Muslim terrorist mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman many times over [...]

You remember that homeland security slogan, “If you see something, say something.”
Well, after you say something, the people in charge of defending our country are supposed to DO SOMETHING.
But the thread that continues to run through the Fort Hood jihadist debacle is that time after time, Hasan’s colleagues did say something. And his superiors continued [...]
