Kevin Bankston, a lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a civil
liberties group in San Francisco that is pursuing a similar lawsuit
against the government, called Holder's decision "incredibly
disappointing."

"The Obama administration has essentially adopted the position of the Bush
administration in these cases, even though candidate Obama was incredibly
critical of both the warrantless wiretapping program and the Bush
administration's abuse of the state secrets privilege," said Bankston.

Not defending her but...

The Palestinians and Israelis are always pissed off, nothing new here.
The Pakistanis are merely suspicious and they were always suspicious
of the US government, and rightfully so. If the US had taken strong
decisive action in Afghanistan against the Taliban and Al Qaeda from
the beginning instead of wasting resources in Iraq we'd have bin
Laden's head on a pike by now.

She's abrasive, overconfident and inept, but we knew that. She has
only added more hot air to global warming.

I agree with you completely.

Especially about the abrasive, overconfident and inept part.

But we were supposed to get all this change.

Hillary Clinton has less diplomatic experience than Sarah Palin.

How do you think the liberal media would have reported this incident
during the Bush administration?

Muslim Suffers Bruised Ego in Fort Hood Tragedy
by Ann Coulter

11/11/2009


The massacre at Fort Hood last week is the perfect apotheosis of the
liberal victimology described in my book "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and
Their Assault on America."

According to witnesses, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan entered a medical facility
at Fort Hood, prayed briefly, then shouted "Allahu akbar" before he began
gunning down American troops. Now I don't know which to be more afraid of:
Muslims or government-run health care systems.

President Obama honored the victims by immediately warning Americans not
to "jump to conclusions" -- namely, the obvious conclusion that the attack
was an act of Islamic terrorism. As conclusions go, it wasn't much of a
jump.


But the mainstream media waited for no information -- indeed actively
avoided learning any information -- before leaping to the far less obvious
conclusion that the suspect's mass murder was set off by "stress."

The day after the slaughter, The New York Times ran one editorial and two
of three op-eds asserting as much -- which was at least one more than the
Times usually runs about psycho-killer soldiers going on rampages.

Two days after the mass shooting, the Times' laughably predictable
headlines about the Fort Hood bloodbath were:

-- "Preliminary Inquiry Finds No Link to Terror Plot"

-- "Painful Stories Take a Toll on Military Therapists"

-- "When Soldiers' Minds Snap"

The Los Angeles Times jumped to the exact same conclusion, running an
article on the massacre titled: "Fort Hood Tragedy Rocks Military as It
Grapples With Mental Health Issues." Time magazine followed suit, posting
an article titled: "Stresses at Fort Hood Were Likely Intense for Hasan."

Inasmuch as Maj. Hasan had never been deployed overseas, much less seen
combat, liberals seem to have discovered the first recorded case of
"pre-traumatic stress syndrome."

Their point was: The real victim of Fort Hood was Maj. Hasan. Indeed, all
Muslims were the victims that day.

The media quickly set to work assembling lachrymose accounts of taunts
Hasan had been subjected to in the military for being a Muslim, the most
harrowing of which seems to have been his car being keyed at his off-base
apartment complex.

I suppose we should be relieved that liberals weren't claiming Hasan
snapped because of the dimming prospects for a health care bill by the end
of the year.

The evidence for the manifestly obvious conclusion we were supposed to
avoid jumping to is rather more extensive.

According to numerous eyewitness accounts, Hasan denounced the "war on
terror" as a war against Islam, said Muslims should attack Americans in
retaliation for the war in Iraq, defended suicide bombers and said he was
"happy" when a Muslim murdered a soldier at a military recruiting center
in Arkansas earlier this year.

Stranger still, he wasn't auditioning for his own show on MSNBC when he
made these statements.

Hasan shared a "spiritual adviser" with two of the Sept. 11 hijackers,
Imam Anwar al-Awlaki, whose unseemly enthusiasm for jihad got him banned
from speaking in Britain, even by video link.

A few years ago, Hasan delivered an hour-long PowerPoint lecture to an
audience of doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, arguing that
non-Muslims should be beheaded and have burning oil poured down their
throats.

He had tried to contact al-Qaida, and at least one U.S. intelligence
official says the Army knew it.

Despite being well aware of Hasan's disturbing views and conduct, the Army
did nothing.

Far less offensive speech has been grounds for discipline or even removal
from duties in the military. In the aftermath of the Tailhook scandal, for
example, two Navy officers were reprimanded and reassigned after putting
up a sign with the words of a nursery rhyme altered to include a vulgar
sexual reference to liberal congresswoman Patricia Schroeder.

But a Muslim Army doctor can go around a military installation somberly
advocating the beheading of infidels, and the girls running the military
treat him like he's Nicole Kidman and they're press junket reporters.

The Army's top brass, Gen. George Casey, responded to the military's
shocking decision to keep a terrorist-sympathizing Muslim in the Army by
announcing: "Our diversity ... is a strength." And I thought gays couldn't
openly serve in the military.

On Sept. 11, 2001, Muslims moved to the top of liberals' victim pantheon
on the basis of having slaughtered 3,000 Americans. Muslims were "victims"
of Americans' displeasure with them for the biggest terrorist attack in
world history. The only American deserving of more coddling than a Muslim
is the first African-American president.

So, now any dyspeptic expression toward a Muslim is grounds for calling in
a diversity coordinator. And when the "victim" attacks, as at Fort Hood,
the rest of us are supposed to feel guilty because Hasan's car got keyed
once. As with all liberal "victims," it is the victim who is massively
guilty.
