New Iranian Hate Crimes Legislation - Corruptors of the World
2007-06-13 21:51:00 It would appear that Iran is finally moving into a new century, although officials may still wonder which it century it is.According to CNN:"Iran's parliament on Wednesday voted in favor of a bill that could lead to death penalty for persons convicted of working in the production of pornographic movies.With a 148-5 vote in favor and four abstentions, lawmakers present at the Wednesday session of the 290-seat parliament approved that "producers of pornographic works and main elements in their production are considered corruptors of the world and could be sentenced to punishment as corruptors of the world."The term, "corruptor of the world" is taken from the Quran, the Muslims' holy book, and ranks among the highest on the scale of an individual's criminal offenses. Under Iran's Islamic Penal Code, it carries a death penalty."Many will applaud this brave and pure legislation, especially those that Iran would like to unify under its protection in the Middle East.We're the ones wit...

Did the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals Get it Right?
2007-06-12 22:41:00 Being no lawyer one has to take it from the experience of those that are or from those with a certain legal knowledge. The first reaction to yesterdays news of the 4th Circuit s ruling that Ali Saleh Kalah al-Marri, was here in the U.S. legally so cannot be held as an "unlawful enemy combatant" and must either be set free or tried within the U.S. civilian court system with the rights that any American has; leaves one sickened. And makes you wonder about just who is the Commander in Chief in time of war, a war that fails to fit a war definition that people are comfortable with.Turning to NRO, you can read the Editors take on the decision and Andrew McCarthys reaction.The editors at NRO:"Since al-Marri’s efforts were acts of war rather than mere crimes, President Bush ordered him held as an alien unlawful enemy combatant. But now the Fourth Circuit has substituted the commander-in-chief’s wartime judgment with its own. Two judges — Diana Gribbon Motz, a Clinton appointee, and R...

North Korea Expecting Normal Access to International Banking System
2007-06-11 21:39:00 Initially reported as accepting the request: “Russia has accepted a U.S. request that a Russian bank help end a stalemate over frozen North Korea n funds that has halted progress in the North's nuclear disarmament.” Now is has been agreed upon: “Russia has agreed to help the United States break the impasse over a long-running banking dispute.” North Korea agreed during six party talks on February 13th to dismantle its nuclear programs, in part understanding they would receive $25 million in frozen money. North Korea missed its April 14th deadline for the first step, which was shutting down its Yongbyon nuclear reactor citing claims it has not received the money. Setting aside the pathetic nature of agreeing to release the funds; North Korea had the means to get the money, but refused to unless the money was transferred; as noted by someone’s Yahoo: “The communist state insists on a transfer rather than a withdrawal to prove it has regained access to ...

Friday Sermon from Iran: Demise, Nuclear Peace and Israel
2007-06-08 23:02:00 Speaking in an encore presentation to last Fridays Sermon from Iran , Provisional Friday Prayer Leader of Tehran Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani said the direction of the nation under the leadership of the Supreme Leader is keeping within the guidelines as expressed by the late Imam Rouhollah oussavi Khomeini. During the Friday Sermon, one of an seemingly endless parade of ceremonies marking the “18th Demise Anniversary of Khomeini;” he said: “in revival of Mohamedan Islam in the world, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution is emphasizing on the need to abide by the authentic version of Islam, particularly the teaching of the glorious Quran and the Tradition of the Holy Prophet of Islam in a bid to strengthen the foundations of Islamic unity." This is the continuing refrain these days, which refers to Iran as the leader in unifying all of Islam in the world.

All right, seal the border. Then what?
2007-06-07 20:39:00 "All right, seal the border. Then what?" asks Lawrence Downes in The NY Times.It seems Mr. Downes believes in the oversimplification of the Rights argument in the immigration debate as do so many others."Attrition is the restrictionists’ fallback plan, a wishful equation that with enough enforcement, mass deportation will happen by itself: Misery plus time equals no more illegals."A few of the many wrong this with this approach according to Downes?:"The price of this strategy is high — far more government intrusion into daily lives, with exponential increases in workplace raids, detentions and deportations; continual ID checks for everyone, citizen or not; immigration police at the federal, state, county and local levels; bureaucrats and snoops keeping an eye on landlords, renters, laborers, loiterers and everyone who uses government services or gets sick."The evil Right and its idea of the law is reminiscent of the Soviet Union; a socialist state, in Downes mind whereas the "c...

Times as National Disgrace, Not Gitmo
2007-06-06 18:54:00 The Times Editorial Board calls it “Gitmo : A National Disgrace ” and has, as usual a real humdinger of an opening: “Ever since President Bush rammed the Military Commissions Act of 2006 through Congress to lend a pretense of legality to his detention camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, we have urged Congress to amend the law to restore basic human rights and judicial process. Rulings by military judges this week suggest that the special detention system is so fundamentally corrupt that the only solution is to tear it down and start again.” Ever since President Bush rammed the Military Commissions Act of 2006 through Congress The NY Times and other outlets of the msm have been ramming their opinions down our throats, whether this was through “news” articles or opinion pieces mattered not. For some unknown reason the msm considers itself above it all as though it delivers the news with no bias; most, if not everyone would disagree (although there would be much disagreem...

In the Service of Global Peace and Security – Iran has Your Back
2007-06-05 21:08:00 In a news conference with foreign news entities during the 18th anniversary celebrations of the “departure of Imam Khomeini,” president of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ahmadinejad said: “Iran serves international peace and security,” and that ‘"big powers want to retain their monopoly over the nuclear energy and in order to achieve the goal, they sow discord and differences among the developing nations.”’ Asked by an Indian reporter about US claims of Iranian involvement in Iraq, the good leader responded in proper Leftist form (which requires dropping various details and facts): ‘"The US, equipped and supported Saddam Hussein, former Iraqi dictator, during his imposed war on Iran and Kuwait, has occupied Iraq under the pretext of WMD and creating democracy in the country."’ He added that no WMDs were found and aiming to interfere in regional issues, the U.S. remains in Iraq.

The Police 30th Anniversary World Tour and a Two CD Release
2007-06-01 16:02:00 Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers and Sting: The Police are back! The summer of 2007 marks the reunion of one of the premier bands of the late 70’s to early 80’s – The Police. When I first heard these guys had gotten back together I thought, nope, not gonna happen, but it has. The last time I saw this band was at McGill University in Montreal, Canada back in 1982; an amazing show that included opening bands Corbeau, A Flock of Seagulls and The English Beat. The Police are my absolute favorite band whom I worshiped from the moment I heard Outlandous d’Amour the first time shortly after its release; suffice it to say I was quite crushed when they called it quits; each album with the sound unique to it is a precision testament to the band’s musical cohesiveness, each release keeping me on edge anticipating the next. To commemorate their 30th anniversary and The Police World wide Tour a new Police CD is being released. Each of the classic 28 tunes on the two CD se... More About: Anniversary
Can We Get Some Real Sanctions Please
2007-05-08 18:42:00 The economic one, two punch of sanctions on Iran would do much to weaken the already pathetic wallet that is Iran. However, without the 100% compliance of the member states it is as hollow a threat as any other from the United Nations. Whether it is threats of action, military action, or sanctions the UN is about as worthless as a wooden nickel. “WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Companies and government agencies in three dozen countries have struck more than $153 billion in deals with Iran since 2000, investment that could offer important leverage to help persuade Tehran to abandon its nuclear program, a new study says.The research by the conservative American Enterprise Institute think tank may be the most comprehensive attempt to publicly identify corporate and government investors whose withdrawal could potentially affect Iran's nuclear policy.The data comes as the U.N.

NY Times Has the Answer to All Our Problems and Theirs in Iraq
2007-05-07 20:14:00 Foreign Policy Wisdom from today’s New York Times Editorial Board:“Whether out of blind loyalty or blind denial, most Congressional Republicans are prepared to back up President Bush’s veto of the Iraq spending bill. It is now essential that the revised version not back away from demanding that Iraq’s prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, finally deliver on the crucial national reconciliation measures he has spent the last year dodging. And it must make clear that American support for his failures — and Mr. Bush’s — is fast waning.” To the board: “Whether out of blind loyalty or blind denial” the NY Times editorial board as well as many other fonts of wisdom in the msm choose to educate and pontificate on subjects; in this case Middle Eastern, as though they are the simplest of conundrums.

Part of this brutality is over 'billion-dollar smuggling routes into the United States.' Mexican police found a mutilated, beheaded body dumped outside a military base on the U.S. border ... The torso, headless and missing its limbs, was wrapped in a plastic bag and blankets and spotted by passers-by before dawn in the seedy Mexican border city of Tijuana, near San Diego, and not far from a Mexican police anti-drugs squad office.

They should send him the same bill he just vetoed, one that supports our troops, ends the war and brings them home.”’ The Iran ian Ambassador to Thailand, Mohsen Pak-Ayeen is in agreement with this assessment, although his statement was made prior to the integrity and reality based good senator made her proposal, (brilliant minds think alike I guess...

Do you get the impression the Times editorial board doesn’t care for Gitmo ? Gitmo lacks a “judicial review” that The Times approves of.

Fashion Tips for Compromise on Iraq Spending – post veto
