U.S. delivers 4th terror alert for Kuwait; 200 arrested

More jihad in Kuwait news: 200 members of the tiny minority of extremists have been arrested. From the World Tribune, with thanks to Nicolei:

ABU DHABI – A major crackdown on the Al Qaida network in Kuwait has foiled several attempts to attack Western military personnel in Kuwait, Western diplomatic sources said.

The sources cited the arrest of nearly 200 suspected insurgents and raids against four strongholds in the sheikdom during January.

"Kuwait has responded very well to warnings of Al Qaida attacks," a diplomat said. "Security forces have been acting on information and intelligence has been collecting new leads."

But the U.S. embassy has warned of additional Al Qaida attacks on Western interests in Kuwait, Middle East Newsline reported. The embassy said Al Qaida and related operatives could "seek softer targets such as public transportation, and public areas where people congregate."

We can leave no rock unturned,no crevice unchecked,no Mosque left unsearched as we wage war against that which would do us grave harm.

You see here's the problem, we arrest these cockroaches, and before they've been caged a week we have do-good lefties protesting for their release on the grounds of human rights, and what happens then??? If they do get released, we have terrorists still roaming the Earth who we could have stopped, putting more lives at risk (what about the human rights of the victims of terrorism, mind you they mostly die, so I suppose that solves that problem right??).

Maybe it's time those at the top started handing down the orders to our troops to waste anyone suspected of terrorism on a minimum of evidence.... our justice system is just not reliable enough anymore (fair enough , I'm all for the freedoms we are lucky to have in the west as part of a democracy, but those trying to destroy our civilizations and all the freedoms that come with it, lose their human rights when they show their lack of respect for everyuone elses).
