A Response to Offensive Pro-Palestinian Propaganda

The Barney Fife School of National Security
So John Murtha wants to invite the Gitmo prisoners to a “minimum security” prison in his district?
He says “They’re no more dangerous in my district than in Guantanamo,” and that there is “no reason not to put ‘em in prisons in the United States and handle them the way they would handle any other prisoners.”
Sure, Jack. Let’s just put ‘em in the county jail in the cell next to Otis the Drunk and have Barney Fife guard them.
I Can’t Gitmo Satisfaction
Bad first step for the O-ministration — calling for the immediate suspension of military tribunals at Gitmo.
Buchanan on Gaza: Over/Under
There’s a gambling term called over/under — I don’t really understand it, but it has to do with guessing (which is all anyone can do) and betting on the final score of a game.

It was all I could think of when I read that Salim Ahmed Hamdan … onetime driver for none other than Osama bin Laden … would be sent back home to Yemen to serve out his sentence.
