Hi, Robert. Küßchen, Pam! I'm here for you!

This is what the terrorists did to me -- and why they should be tried at Gitmo

...I was a federal prison guard at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. In 2000, I was with a prisoner, Mamdouh Mahmud Salim, taking him back to his cell. His cellmate was Khalfan Khamis Mohamed. They were accused of bombing two embassies in Africa in 1998. Later they said that they worked with Osama bin Laden and that they helped set up al Qaeda.

We were back at their cell. It's only me and those two guys. No supervisors. Just the three of us. Somehow, they slipped out of their handcuffs.

They sprayed me with some kind of hot sauce. I couldn't see. They pulled me into the cell and hit me — boom, boom. They hit me so much, I swear to God, like a hundred times.

I hit my radio. I thought help would come.

They wanted the keys for the other prisoners, but they couldn't find them. They were in my front pocket. I used to be big, 300 pounds, and I was laying on them. I gave them my car keys.

About halfway through, they used a comb — thick and long, about 10 inches, with a handle. They'd taken the teeth out and sharpened it like a knife.

They put it in my left eye. It went three inches into my brain.

Nobody came. I kept calling and nothing. I was in there with them for an hour. It was f- - -ed up.

With my blood, they made the sign of the cross on my chest because they thought I was dead.

Finally, 12 guards came to my aid. They said they had the wrong keys.

When it was over, I got up and walked down toward the infirmary. I wanted to show them I could do it.

I thought I would go to a doctor right away. They kept me at the infirmary.

Finally, I was taken to Bellevue. I thought I was dead. I went into a coma.

They did surgery. I lost my left eye and suffered some brain damage. It was like I had a stroke.

For two years, I couldn't speak. I couldn't write. I couldn't walk. My right eye is perfect — straight ahead. But I can't see to the side. It's like a horse with blinders.

It's better now. I have a gym in my apartment in Coney Island. I do 500 sit-ups a day. I have a speech therapist and a massage therapist. I get up at 3 in the morning, eat some breakfast, cereal and a banana. I can dress myself.

Shiite Militant Group Posts Video of Abducted American in Iraq

BAGHDAD — A missing Iraqi-American contractor was kidnapped by Shiite militiamen who lured him into central Baghdad by promising to help him find distant relatives, an Iraqi defense official said Saturday.

A Shiite extremist group claimed responsibility for the Jan. 23 kidnapping and posted a video online that shows a man wearing military fatigues reading a list of demands that includes the release of militants, the prosecution of Blackwater guards and an immediate American troop withdrawal.

A high-ranking Iraqi defense official and an American intelligence official identified the man in the video as Issa T. Salomi, the missing contractor. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.

re: #3 NJDhockeyfan

Should we try other inmates who stab people there too? Is that the criteria?

I don't think that anyone had any doubts that these people were violent. But prison guards are supposed to be able to deal with violent prisoners. These aren't supervillans. They don't have special powers.

re: #3 NJDhockeyfan

In a case like that, the terrorist who have just assaulted a guard like that should simply be summarily executed. No further trial, just shot out of hand for continuing to attack after having been captured. As enemy combatants engaged in a further act of unprovoked aggression, they are not entitled to any further consideration.

If they are enemy combatants whom we catch trying to kill a guard, they are engaging in an act of aggression. As such, they can be shot rather than detained, and I would urge such an action.

Whoa! Why was one guard transporting two terrorists who hadn't been searched? This guy was maimed by the protocol in place as much as the two scumbags who attacked him. Epic fail by the penal system. Summarily executed? For a non-fatal assault? Whose root was stupid policy? I understand your frustration, DF, but really...

Let's all take a breath.

re: #16 Dark_Falcon

If they've surrendered, Geneva never allows execution. And that's assuming that Geneva rather than the Constitution is in play, which I do not think was the case, given that he was in a Federal prison in the USA.

Allowing anyone to perform summary executions on unresisting enemies starts us down a very dark road.

They weren't wearing uniforms so Geneva doesn't apply. They should have been at Gitmo instead of a Federal prison.

re: #24 NJDhockeyfan

Okay. That's an argument that you can make-- though I don't think you're correct to do so.

However, what I am currently arguing against is whether it's okay to summarily execute someone who is not resisting, ever.

I do not believe it ever is, and I do not believe that anyone can wield that level of authority justly.

If they were unresisting, then I would not advocate such a thing, ever. But since they were caught red-handed in an act of attempted murder, I am arguing that they were found in a act of further unlawful aggression and such may be shot instead of being restrained. Does that clarify things acceptably?

Just to get myself on record here, I think that the key to the Super Bowl is going to be the Saints defense. The Colts offense and in particular Peyton Manning is fantastic at making adjustments to beat their opponents. I expect the Saints to lead at the half, and from there it's all on their D. If they can disguise their coverages and keep Manning from seeing what's going to happen before the snap, then the Saints will win, but it will still be close. If Manning and the coaching staff can figure out what they're looking at, the Colts will pull ahead in the second half and win by a couple of touchdowns.

No offense to Hoosier and any other Colts fans, but I'm pulling for the Saints.

re: #26 Dark_Falcon

Yes. If they were in the midst of an attack I'm always fine with attacking them. That's necessary, and proper.

I'd like to point out that your first statement-- about summarily executed-- doesn't make any of those niceties, and that the word 'executed' implies someone not resisting. That's why I took the line I did.

No. Sorry, but we have a fundamental disagreement here. Please respond to my #17.

If your train of thought was applied to all prisoners, any yard fight would result in the summary execution of prisoners, without trial, for assault with bodily injury. It doesn't matter why they are being held. What matters is that their actions are treated consistently with all other prisoners being held in penal institutions. That's the law.

I don't intend for it to be applied to all prisoners. But I regard Islamist terrorists as a special case. Once they prove themselves a continuing danger, even in custody, like these two had done, I submit that they've run out of forbearance and should not be allowed to surrender again.

Its not about weakness, its about not letting them keep attacking us. Once they've proven them won't stop, even in custody, we should keep giving them chances. Doing so is what makes us look weak. Moreover, this policy would only be applied to foreign terrorists, not to American citizens, so issues of Constitutional rights do not apply.

Her time on the McCain campaign trail got her new, fancy clothes and shoes and people to do her makeup and hair. She suddenly got the fame she'd always wanted. She's got a bunch of delusional people around her feeding her ego, telling her she has a chance at the White House in 2012, and that she's a brilliant leader. If she's got to make a few wingnut speeches and maintain her sheltered, carefully crafted image to keep all of that going and her pockets lined, so be it.

Bush got elected to a second term. I don't underestimate the electorate at all.

However, I'm still hopeful that Caribou Barbie won't even make it out of the primaries should she decide to run in 2012. I'd like to think there are still enough sane, non-Tea Party types left to vote against her and to choose a more serious candidate to run against President Obama.

That's my hope anyway. I voted for Obama and don't regret it at all, but I still think a sane, thoughtful opposition party is sorely needed. The Tea Party types, including Caribou Barbie? Not sane, and not thoughtful. If the GOP expect to remain a serious national party, I hope they'd take that into consideration when deciding who to run in 2012.

Back in the day, when the dollar was still worth something, my über-lubruhl father bet me big bucks that Ronald "Sells Arms to Jew-Haters" Reagan wouldn't even get nominated, much less elected.

You're good peeps, Hoops. But really, what will they ever do? Sit around in their little cave and cry about some anonymous dude on some other blog? Impotent and pathetic.

Yeah, but they posted Hoops name and smeared his charity and charitable efforts.

I agree, they can't do anything, but they caused Hoops pain and for no reason at all. The psychotics over there incorrectly thought he was the author of a pro-LGF blog.

And let me just say that the person writing that blog was perfectly fine with Hoops getting his ass kicked every day for it, and I think he thought it was all 'funny' to goad the stalkers-- so long as other innocent people took the fall for it.
I think that person is dirt.

I've known people internet stalked for reals. Pictures taken of their home, their address, phone numbers, names of their relatives posted on forums to enable other people to more easily find them, harrassing emails that were well researched enough to be frightening, the sort of private information that PIs find out. The stuff Charles talks about. less scary than what he endures because these are just geeks angry at geeks, but still fucked up. Michelle Malkin engaged in a little of this during the SCHIP thing.

99% of the people talking shit, they're totally just harmless blustery keyboard commandos, bitching on blog forums. But there's always the 1% who wants to be known for being the guy who told the enemy in meatspace. The unstable wacko who has nothing going for them and wants to be approved of by the internet.

They're just that evil. It's horrible, but clarifying to know what sorts of personalities we're up against.

What's crazy is I believe Malkin is far less extreme than the Tea Party core. Malkin is a nasty but ultimately insincere agitator, the fast food fake version of the real thing, dancing with James Dobson's crowd because it means her star is rising. There is a dark tar-like river of paranoia, racism, resentment and tribalism running through this country. it's the stuff left over from Reconstruction. it never went away, it just gained density. And now we're seeing it bubble forth.

re: #121 Slumbering Behemoth

My question marks should have spelled "who"?

The former blog dedicated to 'defending' LGF.

Now, who knows why the actual author of it has now blocked it.
But it wasn't Hoops, ever.

And that guy let the stalkers think it was Hoops, and out Hoops, and trash his charity, and I think he thought it was all fun and games for that to happen.

And that guy hasn't posted here since like November.
He also had a big problem with Mullah Buzzsaw being blocked. Or at least, he had a big problem with me, and with Jimmah, ostensibly over dear bs monkey being blocked.
So, maybe that guy just has some personal issues or something in his life, maybe it's all coincidence.
IMO he is dirt.

Nice! Gotta bolt, life intrudes.

Oh my god, that's brilliant.

Beaker's bulgey eyes lend a sort of neurotic urgency to the song. Like this is his last love letter before he's institutionalized. :D

I thought I saw you! Who's the babe? :)

Those really were the days. If you couldn't get laid at a crue concert there was something wrong with you.

re: #205 WindUpBird

It was filmed in Indy, they played Wild Side 3 times to get enough good footage. I was stationed at FT. Benjamin Harrison for my AIT school. I was supposed to be locked down but I had some buddies come pick me up and sneak me out. Well worth it.

re: #198 RogueOne

Cool stuff, but I wouldn't call it stoner rock. Dig it anyway.

re: #210 RogueOne

Brilliant. That is my favorite Crue song, the video has been etched in my brain since I was a kid. :D

(second favorite Crue song is Too Young To Fall in Love with the Big-Trouble-In-Little-China-esque fight scenes)

re: #200 WindUpBird

Airbourne is not stoner metal (think Mastodon, Yob, Electric Wizard, High on Fire, Fu Manchu, Cathedral, Dozer, Monster Magnet, Clutch, CoC) they're retro hair metal but I do quite like them! They're a great band. I still have all my Ratt, WASP, Crue, and Def Leppard close at hand. :D

re: #218 RogueOne

You can thank pr0n. Go ahead, do it.

I don't know if anyone has posted this, but has anyone seen the pics of the notes scribbled down on Sarah palin's palm? I cant tell if the pics are shopped or not, but I want to believe they are just from the sheer absurdity. There's a video of her glancing down at them and trying to do it nonchalantly during the Q&A. Sooo bad.

re: #221 Slumbering Behemoth

I really believe that's true. Thank god for Pr0n and video games.

The Leningrad Cowboys. Haven't seen them in years. Cool.

re: #222 GOPninja

any link?

NOLA.com needs better sports writers. I thought the Indy paper sucked but NOLA is worthless.

re: #222 GOPninja

Seen them... they seem to be there. Cheat sheets, crib notes, whatever. Not ready for prime time crutches.

If you could be on the fifty yard line today, or in the French Quarter at 6:15 tonight... where would you be...

No surprise. Most folks hate feeling left behind and alienated by technology they can not understand or take advantage of.

Tough shit. The atavists wail, and the caravan moves on.

Eyes about. Everyone uses teleprompters. They've done it for a long time. Decades.

It gets funny when someone with an inky palm makes that an issue.

re: #231 Slumbering Behemoth

Nah... sorry.

There was so much vitriol on Sarah last night, I was hoping we had moved on to important things or Leningrad Cowboys type things.

Israel has failed to show it will conduct an impartial investigation of allegations that it committed war crimes during its Gaza offensive last winter, an international human rights group said Sunday.

The New York-based Human Rights Watch said inquiries by Israel's military have largely focused on possible wrongdoing by individual soldiers without looking into high-level decisions that led to large numbers of civilian casualties, such as artillery fire into populated areas.

Israeli investigators missed an important piece of evidence in one of the most contested incidents of the war, in which Gaza's only flour mill was severely damaged by Israeli fire, said Human Rights Watch, which discussed the ongoing investigations with Israeli military lawyers last week.

"Israel claims it is conducting credible and impartial investigations, but it has so far failed to make that case," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director for Human Rights Watch. "An independent investigation is crucial to understand why so many civilians died and to bring justice for the victims of unlawful attacks."

School principal Evelyn Mastroianni apologizes to Patrick Timoney's mom for tiny toy gun bust

[Link: www.nydailynews.com...]

Apologies came too late for the still-angry mother of a Staten Island fourth-grade student who was yanked from lunch for bringing a tiny toy gun to school.

"The principal called me and said, 'I'm sorry, I never meant for it to go this far,'" said Laura Timoney, who also received a call from the superintendent.

Color me naive or forgetful, but I keep reading a reproachful, 'Bush got elected to a second term' in recent posts. What was the alternative again? Jefferson? John Adams? My memory isn't what it used to be. Someone enlighten me, please?

Back in the day, when the dollar was still worth something, my über-lubruhl father bet me big bucks that Ronald "Sells Arms to Jew-Haters" Reagan wouldn't even get nominated, much less elected.

It was the biggest gambling score of my long, long, ancient life.

Don't underestimate the ugly stupid. Sarah could well be our CIC in a couple of years.

re: #242 BigPapa

Google Joe Stork and you will find a hater of Israel.

According to the quote attributed to Stork, Israel is guilty until proven innocent.

From CAMERA:

Referring to Israel’s victory in the 1967 War, Stork suggested what would be needed for the Arab states to reverse the outcome and destroy Israel:

There were, to be sure, many contributing factors to this devastating defeat, and it would be a mistake to overlook, for example, the degree of imperialist collusion that lay behind the Israeli blitzkrieg. But the single most important cause lay with the failure of the regimes in question to mobilize their societies for the kind of protracted struggle that is critical for the liberation of Palestine. ... the surplus extracted from the masses was used to construct a military machine that was completely inadequate to the task of liberating Palestine ... (p 225)

Since he is speaking of the 1967 war, which predated Israel’s presence in the West Bank and Gaza, it is clear that Stork means by the “liberation of Palestine” the destruction of Israel.
