GITMO DETAINEES DESECRATE QURAN
That’s the headline you won’t be reading over this AP story filed tonight on investigative findings released by Brig. Gen. Jay Hood, the commander of the detention center in Cuba.
Buried down in the AP story about Quran abuses at Gitmo, we learn:
[Hood] said his investigation found 15 cases of detainees mishandling their own Qurans. “These [...]
THE GITMO ROUND-UP
As I mentioned yesterday, my column today responds to the chicken little hyperbole regarding Guantanamo Bay. Have there been abuses? Yes. Is it the “anti-Statue of Liberty?” Get a grip.
Despite the MSM’s allergic reaction, White House spokesman Scott McClellan was right when he suggested that the media could do more to “talk about policies [...]
IN DEFENSE OF GUANTANAMO BAY
President Bush’s response to a question about Guantanamo Bay at his press conference this afternoon was woefully inadequate, and not just because he flubbed the word “dissemble.” While he rightfully criticized Amnesty International’s hyperbolic report on alleged abuses at Gitmo as “absurd,” I don’t think he defended our detention policies and practices vigorously or articulately [...]
GITMO’S EMILY LITELLA
Detainee who claimed American guards flushed a Koran down the toilet at Guantanamo Bay sez: “Never mind.”

Guantanamo Bay: the rest of the story
Daily Kos and other liberal bloggers are claiming that newly-released FBI documents confirm Newsweek’s allegations regarding Koran-flushing (see “FBI: Newsweek was right“).
It should be obvious to anyone who so much as glances at the documents being cited that the FBI was reporting the statements of detainees rather than endorsing or validating those allegations. Immediately before [...]
FORMER GITMO PRISONER: SHOT DEAD
Abdullah Mehsud, one of 10 enemy combatants released from Guantanamo Bay who had returned to his terrorist ways abroad, reportedly died this week of wounds sustained in a gun battle with Army forces. After his release from U.S. custody, he went back to Pakistan and became a celebrity for kidnapping two Chinese civilians. (Simon World [...]
JUDGE TO GITMO DETAINEES: BUG OFF
Just caught this AP report published 10 minutes ago. This seems like a major defeat for the civil liberties absolutists:
A federal judge threw out a lawsuit Wednesday by foreign-born terror suspects challenging their detention in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, ruling that last year’s landmark Supreme Court ruling did not provide them the legal basis to win [...]
Cutting through the fog
You all know how I feel about the Wall Street Journal editorial board’s muddle-headedness on immigration. It’s all the more frustrating because the board remains a beacon on other vital national security issues. The newspaper’s editorial today on the Supreme Court rulings is the best analysis I’ve read. It recommends that Congress do its part [...]
