Letting Terrorists out of Guantanamo A.K.A. {Catch and Release} 

This why you don’t let terrorist go when you have them in custody:     

Abudullah Mehsud was released from the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay in 2004. . Later that year he kidnapped two Chinese engineers working in South Waziristan  

Now he is dead because he got cornered in Pakistan and rather than being captured again he decided to blow himself up. Well, maybe we should rename the “Catch and Release” Program, To Catch, Release, and Kill.

Unbelievable: Glasgow airport did not have armed police at the airport during terrorist attack:

In today’s day and age not to have armed police at any airport is just plain stupid and dangerous. But apparently that is exactly what happened at Glasgow airport during the terrorist attack. I still don’t think people understand the times we all as free people live in, but maybe this will be a wakeup call to those who still doubt the war on terror.Here is an excerpt from the Scotsman:

Airport had no armed police on duty when an attempted terrorist attack was launched last Saturday, Strathclyde Police admitted yesterday. While both Aberdeen and Edinburgh airports had armed officers present following the attempted bombings in London, Glasgow, Scotland’s busiest airport, was left unprotected. When the two men in a Jeep Cherokee crashed into the Terminal 1 building at 3:15pm on 30 June, there was only one police sergeant on duty outside the terminal. Instead, members of the public helped apprehend two suspects as they allegedly tried to detonate a home-made car bomb. It is understood that members of the Metropolitan Police’s Anti-Terrorism squad were surprised that the individuals were arrested alive as, had the attack been launched at Heathrow Airport - which maintains a 24-hour armed police presence - they would most likely have been shot dead. Last night, a spokeswoman for Strathclyde Police explained that a mobile armed response team was on duty but was not at the airport. She said: “Strathclyde Police always has a firearms capability ready and [the officers] were on mobile patrol. We only station armed officers at the airport when the national threat level is at critical.” Yet the decision was criticised by Margaret Curran, Scottish Labour’s justice spokeswoman, who said: “Had people died, we would be asking, ‘Where were our armed police?’ I would urge the chief constable to urgently review this policy.”

Cooper Republic’s Reaction to Joe Lieberman’s Column

A lot of politicians since 9/11 have been so intent on ripping on president Bush that they have forgotten to focus their attention on the brutal enemy we face. Here is an example. Just today Republican Senator Pete V. Domenici called for a new strategy in Iraq. Last week Richard Lugar was calling for new strategy as well. Now these Republican Senators are getting praise from the liberal media, because anytime you oppose President Bush, especially on the war on terror, you instantly become a hero with the mainstream press. But there is one problem with these out of touch Senators and what they are saying; Most of the top military brass does not agree with their assessments’. Case in point: Major General Rick Lynch, commander of coalition forces in central Iraq said just today, “An abrupt exit of US troops from Iraq would trigger a bloody “mess”. General Rick Lynch went on to say, the addition of thousands more “surge” troops in recent weeks had enabled him to clear 70 percent of his territory south of Baghdad of insurgents. Now it’s really easy to criticize the war from the halls of congress but the reality on the ground in Iraq is totally different from what we hear from the media and politicians on a daily basis.
