By Michelle Malkin  •  June 11, 2007 04:55 PM

Lots of buzz and left-wing triumphalism over the Fourth Circuit’s split decision ruling against the Bush administration’s detention of alien enemy combatant Ali Al- Marri.

In cases involving individuals suspected of waging war against us, however, a different [...]

Good riddance

Habis Abdulla Al Saoub is dead–the FBI confirms that he was killed in a shootout in Pakistan last fall–so the feds have dropped terrorist charges against him. Now, that is how to fight the war on militant Islamists. Better to kill them on the battlefield before they hook up with lawyers like this and follow [...]
