Whistle-Blowing Said to Be Factor in an F.B.I. Firing

Here's one that will build your confidence in American counter-terrorism activities. From the New York Times, with thanks to Al-Canine:

WASHINGTON, July 28 - A classified Justice Department investigation has concluded that a former F.B.I. translator at the center of a growing controversy was dismissed in part because she accused the bureau of ineptitude, and it found that the F.B.I. did not aggressively investigate her claims of espionage against a co-worker.

The Justice Department's inspector general concluded that the allegations by the translator, Sibel Edmonds, "were at least a contributing factor in why the F.B.I. terminated her services," and the F.B.I. is considering disciplinary action against some employees as a result, Robert S. Mueller III, director of the bureau, said in a letter last week to lawmakers. A copy of the letter was obtained by The New York Times.

Ms. Edmonds worked as a contract linguist for the F.B.I. for about six months, translating material in Turkish, Persian and Azerbaijani. She was dismissed in 2002 after she complained repeatedly that bureau linguists had produced slipshod and incomplete translations of important terrorism intelligence before and after the Sept. 11 attacks. She also accused a fellow Turkish linguist in the bureau's Washington field office of blocking the translation of material involving acquaintances who had come under F.B.I. suspicion and said the bureau had allowed diplomatic sensitivities with other nations to impede the translation of important terrorism intelligence.

The Edmonds case has proved to be a growing concern to the F.B.I. because it touches on three potential vulnerabilities for the bureau: its ability to translate sensitive counterterrorism material, its treatment of internal "whistle-blowers," and its classification of sensitive material that critics say could be embarrassing to the bureau.

The Justice Department has imposed an unusually broad veil of secrecy on the Edmonds case, declaring details of her case to be a matter of "state secrets." The department has blocked her from testifying in a lawsuit brought by families of Sept. 11 victims, it has retroactively classified briefings Congressional officials were given in 2002, and it has classified the inspector general's entire report on its investigation into her case. As a result, groups promoting government openness have accused the Justice Department of abusing the federal procedures in place for classifying sensitive material....

The inspector general "also criticized the F.B.I.'s failure to adequately pursue Ms. Edmonds's allegations of espionage as they related to one of her colleagues," Mr. Mueller said in his letter.

And a fourth vulnerability - it should not have taken 2 years for the Justice Department to investigate something like this.

Doctors bury their mistakes; governments classify theirs.

It's sad to see how far the intelligence services have sunk. Sibel Edmonds should be given a medal and a promotion. The sad cliche, "close enough for government work" seems to have been the norm. Her supervisors should be examined and perhaps censured for their inadequacies, and I hope that the misleading and duplicitous translators were prosecuted, removed from their posts, and fined, if not encarcerated for their treachery. This doesn't give one confidence in the ability of the government to do a primary function: protect the citizens of the United States.

The harder I try the behinder I get.

It is time to take serious actions against those in Government whose job is to protect us.We are at WAR and those treasonous acts must be addressed.

Red China Endorses Kerry - Communists Pick Kerry Over Bush
Charles R. Smith
Wednesday, July 28, 2004
John Kerry has gained the support of the largest political party in the world. The official online news outlet for communist China, the People's Daily, endorsed the Senator from Massachusetts for President of the United States.

"Comparatively speaking, Kerry is noted for being friendly with China. He was once firmly against linking the most-favored-nation status to China with human rights," stated an article on the U.S. Presidential race posted by the official Chinese Central Communist Party news outlet. "From a long-term view, a Democratic administration, which stresses international cooperation, pursues 'multilateralism' and stands for a policy of contacts, will be better for both world peace and Sino-U.S. relations," noted the People's Daily article.

Berger's Top Secret BVDs - Kerry Caught in Security Flap
Charles R. Smith
Thursday, July 22, 2004
Kerry introduced his new anti-terror policy just days after Berger filled his socks at the National Achieves. One has to wonder where these brilliant ideas originated.
Take for example the fact that the Kerry camp has suddenly removed its set of talking points on "Kerry's plan to fight the war on terror" from its internet site. Why now when the 9/11 report is being issued? It would seem that now is exactly the right time to trumpet these ideas for fighting Osama and company.

Kerry's Chinagate - Loral Money Going to DNC
In 2002, Loral Space reached a settlement with the State Department over charges of passing advanced military technology to the Chinese Army. Loral agreed to pay $20 million in fines, but did not admit nor deny wrongdoing.
In 2003, Loral declared bankruptcy. The aerospace giant that sold for $72 a share in 1996 watched as its shares tumbled to less than 20 cents a share.
Yet, despite hard times for its investors, Loral's CEO Bernard Schwartz has managed to cough up over $4 million in political donations for the Democrats and non-profit 527 organizations opposed to President Bush.

The images from the Sudan are horrific: Wounded, starving, diseased adults, skeletal, dying infants. Some people have referred to this as "ethnic cleansing." Indeed, an estimated two million black African Christians, Muslims, and animists have been massacred by ethnic Arab Muslims over the last 21 years. Today, an estimated 1.2 million people have been internally displaced, and 170,000 have fled across the border into Chad. At least 30,000 human beings have been massacred by the state-sanctioned Janjaweed ("men on horses") in the last six months.

Just How Serious is "Top Secret"?
By Lt. Col. Gordon Cucullu
FrontPageMagazine.com | July 28, 2004
This is precisely the reason that Mr. Berger’s behavior must be seriously investigated. It matters not what his political affiliation is – though from my experience Democrat appointees seem more dismissive of rules of classification than Republicans. Perhaps it springs from an anti-establishment view. Nevertheless, safeguarding classified information is – or ought to be – drummed into the heads of all government officials, uniformed or civilian, career or political appointee, cabinet level or lounge lizard – from day one on the job.


Let us not forget that Clintons fingers are still in place today??

Why was cair yesterday not talking about the cleric who said it is okay to kill women and children [mulsums] who help infeildales but talking about why they were not asked to help the 9/11 commission are they saying that they knew about 9/11 before it happened??

I know this is way off topic but I liked this joke

To Whom It May Concern:

I am a senior citizen. During the Clinton Administration, I had an
extremely good and well-paying job. I took numerous vacations and
owned many luxury homes. Since President Bush took office, I have watched
my entire life change for the worse. First, I lost my job. Then I lost
my two sons in that terrible Iraqi War. I lost my home. I lost my health
insurance. As a matter of fact, I lost everything and became
homeless.

Adding insult to injury, when the authorities found me living like
an animal, instead of helping me, they arrested me.
Bush has to go! I will do anything to insure President Bush's
defeat in the next election. I will do anything that Senator Kerry wants, to
insure that a Democrat is back in the White House come next year.

I just thought you would like to know how one senior citizen views
the Bush administration. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.

Catherine,

Catherine,
I've thought about voting for the BNP (British Nationalist Party) but they got slated in the press the other week for being "new age nazis" , just because the exposed the koran live on TV (C5 news), and because the BBC (hawk!!!spit!!!) did a prying documentary that spyed on them , capturing every little racist comment on camera (like their not allowed to have their own opinions).
Now because of this shit-spraying doc', the public have kinda booed them off stage and police can even be arrested for being part of their group, sad isn't it.
These guys would definitely've given us our guns back and they'd probably have sent every last pig-shagging muslim packing too, the first political party to make a true stand against illegal immigrants/asylum seekers (hawk!!!spit!!!), hardly anybody here wants these parasites (muslims that is) in the UK exept for the wankers who don't see what a mess they're making, 'cos they're tucked away in their nice little Somerset countryside mansions.
Oh well, at least I've got a few guns (click!).

Catherine,
Only one side can be victorious: THE INFIDELS!!!

Thanks Catharine...its been a long time since I read eight newsmax articles in a ron. Here's an idea: why not just copy the entire Newsmax.com website and paste it into EVERY comment page? It doesn't matter what the topic is, tell us all about Slick Willies evil crimes, Hitlery, Kerry, Carter, Al Sharpton, and whoever else the fascists tell you to hate.

The nazis prayer:

"Please, oh mystical being, help me to hate the liberals even more. Amen."

Keithjoy,
Where have you been all day, jerking off to conspiracy theories and pictures of Michael Moores ample breasts?

Funny...

I don't recall Republican speakers being forced by their own party's national commitee to tone down their extremist speech for primetime or face being "primaried."

No, it is the liberal wing of the DNC that has to have it's hate speech muzzled. Even toned down, you can always count on some hysterical Republican hatred slipping through, such as Al Sharpton's hilarious "40 acres and a mule" comment and Dennis Kucinich's "fear-mongering" accusations.

We don't hate liberals, keithjoy.

We consider them entertainment.

Kj,


I have been reviewing several of your inane and ignorant posts.

Your reference to President Bush as Hitlery is typical left wing liberal slander and not very creative.

Futhermore your posts are neither accurate, informative, humorous or contribute anything of value.

I believe you have some form of brain damage, caused by all the dope that you have been smoking with your sodomite friends.

Rikki,

Very funny!

Kj,

This is for your enjoyment, as well as the other liberal Democratic wankers.

"Traduttore traditore" is a famous Italian phrase: The translator is a traitor. Its original significance was to point to the impossibility of complete fidelity to the text, especially the text that is most verbally rich, full of allusions and wordplay and figures of sound for which it is a nightmare to find equivalences.

But the phrase has been given new meaning by the Sibel Edmonds case, and the charge that translators from key languages, these modern, non-poetic traduttori of the plans, and schemes, and threats of those Muslims promoting war on the Infidels, in the employ of those very Infidels, may be deliberately omitting key words or passages, or leaving them out -- or, indeed, deliberately not translating certain documents and assuring their innnocent Infidel bosses that "these are not really worth translating."

There has to be a decision, a no-nonsense decision, not to employ those who are security risks. These include virtually all Believers, for how can someone who claims to believe in the Qur'an and hadith, someone that is who claims to accept the more tyhan 140 verses about Jihad, who accepts a belief-system that takes as its guiding principle, its center, its basis, the division of the world between Believer and Infidel, between dar al-Islam and dar al-Harb, and in every element of what it teaches, emphasizes loyalty only to fellow Muslims, and distrust, even inculcated hatred, even inculcated murderous hatred, to all Infidels. It is not enough to have someone who has never given any outward and visible signs of fervency or fanaticism. There is case after case of those who showed no such signs, and then -- sometimes without giving much outward notice -- turned into a fervent Muslim. Think of Mike Hawash, the Intel engieneer, with his $360,000 a year salary, American family, and seemingly complete integration and acceptance of, and by, his Infidel neighbors and employers, some of whom rather noisily (and now embarrassedly) assured one and all that "Mike was okay, Mike was innocent."

One is constantly startled by the level of naivete shown by American officials, by the F.B.I., by the C.I.A. Perhaps there is just no way to get it into the thick skulls of people, or at least enough of those people, that the teachings of Islam make Believers into security risks. What about Sibel Edmonds herself? Perhaps she calls herself a "Muslim" or perhpas not. But in her case, I think, it is clear that her link to Islam is of the most tenous, "I-was-born-into-it-but-I-don't-really-believe-any of-it" variety. Her Azeri and Turkic background (and is she, possibly, the child of refugees from Khomeini? Or one of those figures, of the kind that could be a character in "Ali and Nino" who come out of that geographically, but are simply too intelligent to remain intellectually bound by Islam?) are not guarantees of fidelity, but certainly what is now known suggests that it is not she, but others, who are “traditori " as yet undetected.

Only those who are native speakers are likely to be able to detect who can be trusted, and who cannot, among other native speakers. It takes a southerner to be able to say, with assurance, that this man is from Mississippi, and this from North Carolina, and this from southside Virginia. It takes a New Englander, 80 years ago, to detect whether someone was from the Vermont side, or the New Hampshire side, of the Connecticut river.


Four pools of reliable translators exist: first, Maronites who have suffered from both the PLO and Lebanese Muslims during the Civil War; second, Copts who have fled Egypt, and possess both a native speaker’s knowledge of Arabic, and, because of the courses or indoctrination in Islam that they were forced to endure in schools, a good command of Islam and the mental makeup of its adherents: third, Mizarahi Jews, who speak Arabic of many different dialects and accents (from the Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria), fourth, the secularized exiles from the Islamic Republic of Iran, especially those with an undying hatred of the regime and its islamization of the country. Of course membership in these groups does not guarantee trustworthiness. If Egyptian Copts can pass as Muslims, then the reverse is also true; there may also be Copts whose relatives are being held hostage in Egypt and are under pressure to be double-agents for Islam. There are, among the Iranian exiles in Los Angeles, even children of those who detest the regime and are alienated from Islam, who re-embrace what they see, so wrongly, as their “Muslim identity” (just as Russian exiles from the Soviet Union may discover, to their dismay, that their own American children echo leftist sentiments or worse).


The level of understanding and of consquent wariness seems to be remarkably low. One reads that the F.B.I. actually entrusts important intelligence tasks to Muslim agents, Believers who have given no sign of not being disaffected or apostates. There are reports (see former F.B.I. agent Wright on this) who have refused to wear wires when talking to fellow Muslims, or otherwise have failed to perform tasks they were assigned in investigating fellow Muslims. Yet they have been retained, not discharged, or perhaps – charged.. Refusal to fully perform a task is bad enough, and ought to be reason for discharge; what needs to be understood is that such behavior is not bizarre nor unexpected; it naturally reflects the teachings of a belief-system that places loyalty to fellow Muslims above any loyalty to the government or citizens; what if one actually helped others to escape investigation, or to flee once investigated, like two of the seven men in the Holy Land Foundation who managed, somehow, to flee abroad?

In France, the pool of Arabic-speaking agents can be found among Lebanese Christians who have fled, and a greater number of, non-Arab Berbers adept at, because possessing a native knowledge of, Algerian and Moroccan versions of spoken Arabic. No doubt the French have found useful Berber, or Kabyle, resentment against Arabs, a resentment that may help to explain the higher rates of apostasy among the Kabyles: if Islam can be seen for what it has always been, a vehicle of Arab imperialism, then the chances of winning real, rather than the feigned, allegiance of Berbers, Kurds, and other non-Arab Muslims increased. It is worth noting that while Chirac and Dominique de Villepin and those members of the French elites who permitted such unchecked, and unopposed, Muslim migration into France, have proven themselves fools and traitors to their own people and their own civilization, the French security services and the military are more keenly aware of what Islam represents than are those in the naïve American services. There is a certain hardness in the attitude of these services, a complete absence of illusion. It should not be forgotten that it is writers in French, including a number who lived and worked in Algeria, who have left some of the best work on Jihad and the status of the dhimmi. One thinks of Edmond Fagnan (“Ler Djihad ou Guerre Sainte seolon l’Ecole Malekie was published in Algiers in 1908), of Armand Abel, G. Vayda, Charles-Henri Dufourcq, and others, including, at the present day, Bat Ye’or herself, Anne-Marie Delcambre (whose little guide “L’Islam des Interdits” published by Desclee Brouwer is having an effect), and Jean-Paul Charnay’s “Principes de strategie arabe.”) . Just as a Hindu is most likely to be able to distinguish, from 50 years, a fellow Hindu from a Muslim (a task easier, for complicated reasons, in Great Britain rather than in the United States, where facial expressions and other revealing features tend to blend), or as a Frenchwoman can distinguish, at 50 years, a French from an Italian,, or just as a Mississipian may be able to distinguish someone from the same state from, say, someone from Alabama), there are all sorts of clues, all sorts of verbal and non-verbal signs, that help to figure out just what someone’s background may be, and where their allegiance may lie, and just how strong their advertised loyalty may, or can be.

In innocent, easygoing, diversity-worshipping United States, the police, the F.B.I. and other organizations, far from being too ruthless (which is what some speakers at the Democratic Convention in Boston would have us believe), have been tiptoeing around so as not to offend Muslim sensibilities, perhaps in the vain hope that this is the way to win the cooperaton of Muslims. It isn’t. Fear of losing one’s citizenship, or of one’s student visa, or of one’s livelihood, fear that is of being deprived of something that is of great value, is the only way to overcome the inculcated hostility toward Infidels, the manichaen division that is at the heart of Islam, between Believer and Infidel. Nothing else will work except to impress upon Believers that the doctrine of Necessity, or “Darura,” will require them to collaborate, because they, and other Muslims, and Islam itself, will suffer more if they do not collaborate than if they do. When Robert Mueller held, after 9/11/2001, his much-criticized meeting with leaders of a doubtful Muslim group (and all of them turn out to be doubtful – ther e is hardly a meeting that does not end with the subsequent revelation that so-and-so at the meeting has spoken out for terrorists, or is under investigation, or is about to be arrested, or has been arrested, or is about to be convicted. How much of this is going to continue to go on, until all such “outreach” nonsense – which only deprives the FBI of the one weapon that really works – fear of real consequences if there are further attacks, given that Muslims have failed so singularly to demonstrate their loyalty (unlike, say, the Japansese-Americans who volunteered for the army the day after Pearl Harbor – one such example appearing on the obituary page of the latest Harvard Monthly), to this country and to those opposed to the Jihad. If loyalty is not expressed to one’s fellow citizens, the Infidels, it is absurd to have Infidels constantly worrying about offending Muslim sensibilities. Real loyalty cannot be obtained, given undivided loyalty to the umma al-islamiyya; cooperation can be obtained, especially if it becomes clear that citizenship can be stripped from those who, in taking the oath of citizenship, clearly were perjuring themselves. The more widely this is understood, the more able the FBI and the other security and police services will be able to obtain the cooperation that innocent trust, or “outreach” programs, will never deliver. The government of this and other Infidel nation states has to have a sufficient number of employees who understand the nature of Islam, and do not believe, for one minute, that it is only a “handful of extremists” who are the problem. Nor should they believe, as some apparently do, that the doctrines as to Jihad are some kind of recent invention of modern “extremists” such as Qutb, Maudoodi, Hassan al-Banna, and Sa’id Hawwa, or that those "extremists" (perfectly orthodox in their beliefs as to Jihad and dhimmitude, even if their insistence on the full implemention of Sharia rules as to women, or in the criminal law, help distinguish them) have a single, spiritual godfather in Ibn Taymiyya, from th e 1300s. (This seems to be what the authors of the Report on 9/11, though they do not shy away from the adjectives "Islamic" and "Muslim" in front of terrorism, still appear to believe, or want to believe) Ibn Taymiyya’s views on Jihad and dhimmitude are those of a thousand or ten thousand other influential Qur’anic commentators and jurisconsults, writing before, during, and after his time.

But this website is not necessarily full of admirers of "Tristram Shandy";the art of digression, even if one can then smuggle in matters relevant to the larger theme, ought not to be practiced here without express invitation which has not yet been extended. So -- basta.

DC,

Right you are about Mrs.Kerry.

What an embarrssement this babbling idiot is , especially fo Mr. Kerry.

She is either heavily medicated, (the wrong medication) or she has some form of brain damage.

More than likely, a combination of both.

Catherine,

As always, I admire you enthusiam, but could you at least try to edit your comments before posting?

There are three words in that first sentence alone that are unlike anything I've ever seen in the English language, and as a result, it is very difficult to figure out what on Earth you are trying to say.

I don't have any problems with typos here and there (I make quite a few myself), but an attempt at writing content with correct spelling and a stab at something akin to grammar would be greatly appreciated, and would be much more effective in trying to deliver your message.

No offense meant, and hopefully, none taken.

Hugh,

With all do respect,I do not have the time to read everyone of your informative posts.

If your statements could be made more concise without sacrificing any improtant content, it would be most appreciated.

Sincerly,

Son of Infidel

Son of Infidel:

Umm, "Hitlery" doesn't refer to Bush - it's a reference to Hillary [Clinton]. And while I don't agree with her politics, and would greatly enjoy watching her get a political butt-kicking (run for senator, Giuliani!), I don't agree with the association of Hitler with her or Bush. Until we have Dachau & Auschwitz here in the U.S., the comparision is way over the top, no matter to whom it is applied, and even demeans and insults the memory of those Hitler slaughtered. Neither the Right or Left are doing themselves any favors there.

If, on the other hand, the detail of Hugh Fitzgerald's writings is as important as I see it is, I'd suggest those of you that want to read everything in your own time just click on FILE, select SAVE AS, and put the webpage on your hard drive in a folder named HUGH. This allows for reference and intellectual consumption at any speed you see fit.

I do not want an abbreviated version of Hugh. Keep at it, Mr. Fitzgerald. :)

Foe

Walker Colt,

I believe you have misunderstood my commentary, I was referring to Kj's frequent use of "Hitlery",not mine.

The rest of your remarks I do agree with.

No offense meant, and hopefully, none taken.

Not like you to be nice?


Hugh
Enough? PC will kill us this is why the mulsums are funding the ACLU! The terrorist hand book sayes to use our own laws against us.
Also cair came out yesterday with the 9/11 commission could not be right they were not asked?


My big ? is what did the new prime minster of Iraq mean by close ranks?

I think we should only use mac.or non-mulsums as translators!!
as for those in the ranks we need to watch and be ready!!

The Mooozelims are mad because their input wasn't requested in the 9/11 report. How arrogant. This country has operated for the last 228 years without Muslim ideas or thoughts, what in the hell could they possibly contribute to the securityof our nation, when our enemy has been named?

Anyone seeking, and especially taking advice from some of the whining Muslim groups in the news is like "son of infidel" said about the skag Mrs. Kerry, either on drugs, (the wrong ones), or heavily brain damaged. Probably a combination of both.

Muslims, please close your mouthes, we can run our nation without your illiteracy.

Hugh, Please do not abbreviate your posts. Few of us have had the opportunity to relate to a person with your obvious advantages and astute analysis. Thank you for all that you have taught me. I would be very sorry if you decide to leave us or to omit enriching details.

Update!
Syrian music star sings praise of suicide bombers

By Audrey Hudson
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

The Syrian singer of a band that was detained by the FBI's Terrorism Task Force for suspicious activity during a recent flight to Los Angeles has written about the "glorification" of suicide bombers to liberate Palestine.
  The song ends with chants of "Allahu akbar," or "God is great," a common Muslim expression. Those were the last words shouted by a September 11 hijacker before the plane crashed into a Pennsylvania field and have been the last words of many suicide bombers in Israel.
   Mr. Mehana's 14 Syrian band members were detained by officials June 29 upon deplaning Northwest Flight 327 from Detroit to Los Angeles, for acting in a suspicious manner that concerned the flight crew and air marshals on board.

July 29, 2004

Degenerate Artist

Thanks for the post.

I am not surprised to hear this.

It's a good thing that our "crack" Law Enforcement officers that detained these "harmless musicians", researched their backrounds so carefully before releasing them.

They should have been sent to Camp X-ray at Guantanamo Bay, for interrorgation.

Mr. Spencer:

Some months ago you were a guest on "The Michael Savage Show".

During your interview you stated "our institutions are comprimised".

How right you are!

We have to realize our gov't isn't necessarily working for the interests of the American people.

Political correctness has become almost a disease. A disease that has infected the body politic of the nation and has reduced the effectiveness of the immune system. The main reason for this is the presence of Muslims in the West.

Now, it is not the number of Muslims that is the problem, but that they, and their allies on the Left, have used Political Correctness to paralyse society with fear. This has now extended to even fear of ourselves and of our own feelings and thoughts. We have become our own thought police and hence our own worst enemies. This is the worst thing that can happen to any free society that wishes to stay free.

We have to lose this fear of our own feelings and thoughts before we can address the external threat of the Enemy Within.

Hugh:

Many thanks for your post, in toto. But for "Ali & Nino" - TRIPLE!

I'd fully forgotten about that absolute gem....

Catherine:

There are a few Radio stations that stream the Michael Savage show live.

If you have a good connection I can tell you where to find it.

DP111,


"Now, it is not the number of Muslims that is the problem"

The above statement of yours is quite erroneous for the following reasons:

It is precisely the size of the Muslim communties, that have setteled in Western countries, that has given them considerable influence with the politically correct left wing socialists.As such they have been able to further their agenda.

Political correctness has existed prior to the Muslim invasion,therefore your statement concerning this is also in error.


"WE have to lose this fear of our own fellings and thoughts before we can address the external threat of the enemy within".


According to your approach it seems that we have to go through some sort of psychoanalysis.This whole idea of yours is absurd and extremely dangerous.


While we are all going through psychotherapy "to lose the fear of our own fellings, the enemy will certainly overrun us.


Hopefully the US military will sending the Islamo-bastards to Hell, while you workout your emotional problems.

Typo:

That should read: will "be" sending the Islamo-bastards to Hell

Guys
Go to LGF and watch the photos tribute to 911 victims.
have a hanky ready.
lest we forget.
It really makes you want to press the button and nuke Mecca.

Watch the worldwide Islamic celebs towards the end of the show.

HUGH's post should not be sujectet to the awful precis techniques installed in many of us who attended school in the fifties. Iconization and reduction merely serve to exclude the subtleties and nuances which provoke much thought and are absent in the posts of mane others on this site.
One is reminded by hugh of the saying
do not shoot the messenger, only the translator!

Many of the extremely lengthy posts that appear here, are quite wordy and somewhat self-indulgent.

Sorry for the double post as it was a technical error.

Son of Infidel,
With all due respect buddy , as a citizen of the free world you are given the freedom of choice, if you don't have time to read Hughs posts or indeed if you can't be bothered to , then you don't have to, but many of us here deeply respect Hugh and are enthralled by his informative posts.I for one always read them, and sometimes find myself sat clapping like a deranged seal,on magic mushrooms,afterwards. We need people like Hugh who are obviously of a very high level of interlect, who could sock it to the lefties who visit this site and maybe even sway them.He's also a great candidate to stand up to politicians as his views are so direct and uncompromisingly accurate that no politician worth his salt could possibly deny the validity of what he knows about jihad and muslims. If you don't have time , come back and read them when you do have time, thats what the archives are for, but please don't disrespect Hugh , he never insults or snipes at anyone, he just delivers us everything he knows about the subject at hand.

Son of Infidel,
No hard feelings though my man!!!

Hugh,
Ignore anyone trying to silence you or cut down your posts.

I LOVE Hugh's posts.

They're fabulous. Please Hugh, keep on posting, and make your posts even longer!

Chevy Et st.George,
Could you give me the address for that LGF site please? Much apps!!!

Son of Infidel:

As is obvious, tehre are people here who disagree with your take on Hugh's writing style. I, for one, enjoy his verbosity. Whether he is self-indulgent can be debated, but we'll save that for a different day. What is important is that he gets the message across, and a lot of his posts are red meat.

If his purported self-indulgence gets to your atoms, as you rightly said, skip. But save us the diatribe. We have enough on our hands with the Islamic fascism to contend with and we can do well without internal flame wars.

Hugh:

Since you are now available for speaking engagements like Robert Spencer, I want to know when you're going to be appearing on Fox News, etc.!

I'm against all posts over a page or more, whether they be from Catherine, Hugh, or myself. The comment box should allow a maximum of 750 words.

~NMJ

NMJ,
Does your computer not allow you to scroll down ?

Hugh's posts certainly are some of the most informative commentary placed here and his knowledge of these issues is impressive.

If anyone was offened by my previous remarks, I do apologize.


Sincerely ,

Son of Infidel

Peachy Carnhan,

Where can i get streams on the 'net of Michael Savage's show? big fan of his. has humor that makes me feel like i'm at home....

drisnya,

Below is the link for Michael Savage.com

Try sending an email there, to get the information you are seeking.

I have listened to Mr.Savage on many occasions and find his views on Islam, immigration, left wing liberalism and homosexuality to be accurate and entertaining.


http://www.homestead.com/prosites-prs/index.html

drisnya:

Google: "News Talk 1410 KERN".

They stream the "Michael Savage Show Live".

Well, where I come from it's considered rude to dominate a conversation by going on and on and on. Huge posts on forums are the online equivalent. Thus, the 750 word limit. Or you could list the first 750 words and have a link to the rest. That would be fine, too.

Scrolling down is unacceptible, because you have to keep scrolling and scrolling to get through all of the logorrhea, every day, every post. It gets tiresome.

NoMoreJihad,

You have a good point.
