I don't think anyone has threatened to kill me if I didn't convert to Christianity.

i doubt very much if anyone has threatened to kill you if you didn't convert to islam either.

Not invented here syndrome at work at WaPo.

Oh Mr. Corn,

How wonderful of The Washingtonian. Now I can brag for a moment. My dad, Ed Self, helped found The Washingtonian. He was called in by the first publishers to consult since his magazine, San Diego Magazine was the first, the original city magazine in the U.S. I am so glad they came through for you.

Do you think the Post is avoiding mention of your book altogether? Their past in the Plame case, what with Woodward and all, has still not been adequately questioned. Just might be, huh?

i doubt very much if anyone has threatened to kill you if you didn't convert to islam either.

The two Fox reporters that were kidnapped by Muslims were forced to convert to Islam or die before being released.

Mr Corn,

Let me be the first to congratulate you on disclosing the leak source as just gossip and that it wasn't Rove who you originally tried to slander for the original leak.

It's funny how LBH crys over being spoofed, when he is spoofing an intelligent person with all his posts. Or maybe he's not and he just like to show off how dumb he is.

Arrrgghh! those scurvy knaves! Should be drawn and quartered then sent to Davy Jones locker, GARRR!

My mateys and me thinks yar doin a good job keepin them scoundrels at bay Mr. Corn, ARRR! does ya want us to make em walk the plank cap'n? Weel do-er for ya. Garrr!

We could hang em from the yard arm too cap'n, jus give us the word, tis National Talk like a Pirate Day after all cap'n.

Hoist the mainsail laddies, our work is done here, GARRR!

as if the pope is in danger of being killed if he doesn't convert? nonsense.
2 foxnews reporters? they had no business being where they have no business being.
islam is evil because 2 foxnews fools barely escaped with their lives? is that why bush is backing the islamic extremists against the secular syrian govt?
the war on terror is bogus.

Let me be the first to congratulate myself on being a complete moron.

Harry Jaffe: A few days later the Post published an editorial on the Plame matter and seemed to credit Smith with breaking the news;"according to a story this week by the Post's R. Jeffrey Smith, who quoted a former colleague of Mr. Armitage."

Isikoff and Corn felt ripped off by Smith's first story, but the editorial crediting Smith for their scoop sent them over the edge. Each protested to Howell, who as Post ombudsman would be in a position to give them some redress; perhaps.

Wow, David became a victim of the MSM's habitual deceptions! But we see that practiced daily by your Cornuts! Good for you to go "over the edge" over the WaPost, just DON'T GO POSTAL!

as if the pope is in danger of being killed if he doesn't convert?
the 2 fox reporters? they had no business being where they have no business being.
this is america - anyone who threatens to kill another for whatever reason is arrested, muslim or otherwise.

Fat Diddy

Wow, reporters have no business being where the news is being made? Are you for real? Not even Corn would go along with that insult to reporters.

This is America but you can threaten to kill someone my friend. You can only be arrested for intention to kill or caught in action. If your statement were true then 80% of liberals would be in prison right now for threatening the President.

The Pope is in real danger. He is traveling to Turkey which is mostly Muslim and has been threatened. Fatty is obvioulsy not a rocket scientist.

LBH,

No time to reproduce it all for you here. Apparently you've missed all the incoming evidence the the Armitage leak was part of a master White House plan. He and Rove appear very much in on it together. Check out Wayne Madsen, BTW.

And BTW, what about Wayne Madsen guys? I have to give up on the computer for now. It's giving me no end of trouble. Will check back later perhaps.

Carey, let me know if I can help with your computer issues.

6 & 9 - mini me's

Thanks for the fan club but I don't swing that way. However, I will allow you to be part of my fan club but you must use lower case lbh until your brain fully develops into a big boy or LBH.

LBH,

I don't mean dead in the sense that there aren't one billion Muslims out there chomping at the bit. I meant dead as to love, dead as to humanity, dead as to modernity, dead as to spirituality, dead as to reason, dead as to the heart's awakening, dead as to how to treat one's fellow man (e.g., love one another as I have loved you).

Where is there outrage in the Muslim community over 9/11?

Where is there outrage over the threats to the Pope?

Where is the outrage in the intentional targeting of innocents?

Regarding the similarities between Islam and liberalism, you are spot on. I have seldom heard a more perfect analogy. The liberals, like the Muslims, often just don't get it. They are kith and kin.

No time to reproduce it all for you here. Apparently you've missed all the incoming evidence the the Armitage leak was part of a master White House plan. He and Rove appear very much in on it together.

Carrie

Really? So when is Fitzy going to indict this time?

Any predictions from Wayne Madson on indictments?

If this is such great new evidence then why hasn't Fitzy subpoenaed Corn for his evidence?

Seems as if Happy has Corns book pegged like the rest of the media as second and third hand sources with presumed assumtions. Sounds like what the Dems were screaming about on the 911 ABC movie only the movie had a disclaimer.

Way to go Happy!

I see where someone is quoting Wayne Madsen again.

I wonder if this is the same Wayne Madsen who said:

In the London Globe that President Bush and Secretary Rice were having an affair and the Mrs. Bush had moved out?

That Pope John Paul II had called President Bush the Antichrist?

That there was certainty that Karl Rove was about to be indicted?

That he produces articles and materials for Lyndon Larouche publications?

Is that the same nutjob that someone is now quoting? Please, please tell me you're not being serious.

Iraqi Insurgents Adding Kids to Their Ranks?

_____________________

Sept. 19, 2006 BAGHDAD, Iraq — In America, six-year-olds are usually in first grade. In Iraq, some are being recruited by militias.

That's what U.S. soldiers say is going on in Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood, the stronghold of a radical cleric.

The militias are assembling gangs of as many as 100 children, some as young as six or seven. Their mission: to throw gasoline bombs and stones at passing U.S. convoys. The hope is that the troops will be lured into sniper ambushes.

The soldiers say they've seen young men with bandanas covering their faces, talking to kids before such incidents. Sometimes the children are given slingshots.

An aide to the cleric denies it. But soldiers say there's no mistaking what's going on. And they say they're not firing back because, as one lieutenant puts it, a single round fired anywhere near a gang of children would be "like the shot heard 'round the world."
________________

Covered this in a conversation with Spanky, back in August. Says the really young kids come forward to wave, older kids hang back, give 'em the finger, act like they're gonna throw rocks...somtimes throwing them....pretty accurately.

He is very concerned that the next time he fires ammunition an innocent might get hurt.

I see your point and stand corrected. However, it was a good lead into my Islam/Liberalism comparison so I went with it.

Canadian Inquiry Finds Torture Survivor Maher Arar Completely Innocent, Criticizes U.S. For 'Rendition' to Syria

Four years ago this month, a Canadian citizen named Maher Arar was on his way back to Canada from a family vacation in Tunisia. The Syrian-born man had a stopover at JFK airport in New York. The date was September 26, 2002. He wouldn't see his family for another 374 days.
After being questioned at the airport, U.S. officials took him to an immigration facility in New York. Two weeks later he was secretly flown to Jordan aboard a Gulfstream Jet. Maher Arar ended up in Syria where he was held in a cell, the size of a grave. He was repeatedly tortured. For weeks his family didn't even know where he was.

On Monday, the Canadian government admitted for the first time that Arar was a completely innocent man. Justice Dennis O'Connor released the findings of a two-year major investigation into the disappearance of Arar. The judge wrote, "I am able to say categorically that there is no evidence to indicate that Mr. Arar has committed any offence or that his activities constituted a threat to the security of Canada."

The official inquiry said that there is no evidence that Canadian officials played a direct role in his detention or deportation. However Justice O'Connor found that the U.S. government's decision to send Arar to Syria was likely based on inaccurate and misleading information provided by Canadian authorities. The judge also criticized the Bush administration's actions. The judge wrote, "They removed him to Syria against his wishes and in the face of his statements that he would be tortured if sent there."

A look back in history:

May 13, 1981: Thousands see Pope shot in Rome

The Pope was shot four times as he blessed the crowds in St Peter's Square in Rome.

At about 1715 local time, the Pope was being driven in his Popemobile through a crowd of about 20,000 worshippers when he was hit by four bullets fired from a 9mm pistol some 15 feet away.

Police arrested a 23-year-old man who said he was a Turkish citizen and gave his name as Mehmet Ali Hagca. He kept repeating: "I couldn't care less about life."

The Turkish press reported Hagca was jailed for killing a Turkish newspaper editor Abdi Ipecki in February 1979. But he escaped from prison and left behind a letter vowing to kill the pontiff just before the Pope visited Turkey in 1979.

Mehmet Ali Hagca was sentenced to life imprisonment in July 1981 for the shooting.

The Pope later publicly forgave Hagca and visited him in prison. In June 2000, with the agreement of the Pope himself, Hagca was pardoned by the Italian president after serving 19 years.

On his return to Turkey he was re-arrested and forced to serve the rest of his sentence for the killing of a Turkish journalist in 1979.

Mehmet Ali Hagca was released in January 2006.

Jeanne,

You want to congratulate yourself for being a complete moron? Is this really necessary?

Repost of an excellent point of view.

In that sense it is a dead religion. It either has to kill others or die as a religion.

168 Factchecker

I disagree, Islam is very much alive and growing. It does show how weak of a religion it is when consversion must come from the threat of death instead of by the Holy Spirit (choice).

In a sense it is the perfect religion for liberals. Like liberals, Islam preys on the poor and helpless in promise of a better life only to be told that they must commit siucide for the cause in the promise of virgins for reward. Liberals promise a better life for the poor by stealing from the middle class and rich which has only proven to be a complete failure after billion and billions of dollars spent on failed liberal programs.

Like liberals, Islam wants total conversion by force because the philosophy is bankrupt, i.e. stealing elections, ACLU threating law suits, Hollywood, Castro,Air America, Michael Moore, etc. Theres a reason why Osama Bin Laden uses Dem talking points when he makes a hate America video.

This is why liberals defend Islam with such passion and consider themselves morons in the process, like Jeanne.

There's more and this is the MOST IMPORTANT factor in all of the torture debate going on in congress. PLEASE watch this program or read the transcript.

Attorneys Argue Senate Bills Would Allow for Lifelong Detention Without Trial, Torture Without Accountability

MICHAEL RATNER:
The debate is really in Washington on three issues. One of them has not been covered at all. The first issue is what kind of interrogation techniques can be used. Can torture be used? Can you violate Common Article 3? Can you use those techniques you spoke about, including, I think, waterboarding, which is the mock drowning of somebody? And on those issues, McCain, Warner and Graham have taken a position that they don't want those used. And so, we're at loggerheads between two factions of the Republicans right now. I don't know how it will come out. I certainly hope that McCain and Warner stick, and Graham, to their position on that.

But there’≥ two other issues going on, one of which has not been covered at all. One is, of course, the military commissions, and again the McCain bill, which is not the administration bill, is better on that as well. It doesn't allow you to use evidence from torture. It makes sure that the defendant in a military commission is present at trial and gives a person more rights at a military commission.

But the third issue, which has not been covered, is, to me, very critical and is in both of the pieces of legislation. In both the administration bill and in the McCain-Graham-Warner bill, in both cases you abolish the writ of habeas corpus. The government, the Congress, is abolishing the writ of habeas corpus. The habeas corpus writ is the right to challenge your detention once you’≤e picked up by the United States. It would apply to Guantanamo. It would apply to everybody in Bagram. And it basically says that anybody picked up, now or in the future or who is there now, no longer has the writ of habeas corpus.

...But the third issue, which has not been covered, is, to me, very critical and is in both of the pieces of legislation.

...It's really, Amy, the fundamental right that protects us against just arbitrary arrest and disappearance. It's absolutely crucial. And so far, unfortunately -- I just want to emphasize this -- both the administration bill and the McCain bill abolish the writ of habeas corpus. And there should be a massive, massive public campaign about that. People can go to the Center's website and get information about that and get to their senators and say, "Don't abolish the writ." This is the protection that will protect the Maher Arars in the world, that protect our Guantanamo detainees and protect people who are really disappeared all over the world.
---------------------
This is something everybody has to fight. We have to stand up collectively and protect the writ of habeas corpus. The habeas corpus writ is the right to challenge your detention once you're picked up by the United States.

Everybody wonders why Bush wants torture laws to stand. It isn't the torture law. He wants to abolish the writ of habeas Corpus.

Urgent news from Abu Dawood, one of the newly appointed commanders of the al Qaeda forces in Afghanistan:

Final preparations have been made for the American Hiroshima, a major attack on the U. S.

Muslims living in the United States should leave the country without further warning.

The attack will be commandeered by Adnan el Shukrijumah ("Jaffer Tayyer" or "Jafer the Pilot"), a naturalized American citizen, who was raised in Brooklyn and educated in southern Florida.

The al Qaeda operatives who will launch this attack are awaiting final orders. They remain in place in cities throughout the country. Many are masquerading as Christians and have adopted Christian names.

Jeanne has already declared herself as the second person (behind me, lbh mini-me spoofer) to be congratulated as being a complete moron. Sorry, but you'll have to settle for third place moron. Wow, that sucks.

Otherwise known as presumptions.

Fungi

Exactly -Corns presumptions, not fact! Thanks for the clarification.

BOLO (be on the lookout) for this man

Adnan el Shukrijumah possesses the uncanny abilities to blend into a crowd, to alter his looks, and to assume a multitude of identities. He is the proverbial Mr. Cellophane. Few things about Shukrijumah indicate his radical Islamic orientation. He is often clean-shaven and never wears a long shirt or chews a toothpick. He has been known to have a beer on occasion (like an average American Joe), to smoke an occasional Camel, and to carry rosary beads in his pocket. He has posed as an Italian-American, a Mexican-American, a Canadian, a Saudi, a Jamaican, and a Latino from Trinidad. He stands somewhere between 5'4" and 5'6" and weighs 140 pounds. He has black hair, black eyes, an olive complexion, and a pronounced nose. This guy's face does not appear on the nightly news, even though a BOLO ("Be-On-the-Lookout") was issued March 21, 2004, by FBI Director Robert Mueller and former Attorney General John Ashcroft. He hasn't even made the spotlight of"America's Most Wanted" with John Walsh. But no one on planet earth is more of a threat to the lives and well-being of every man, woman and child within the United States than ferret-faced Adnan.

The rest of the story here.

Muslims killed Jews at the 72 Olympics. Muslims held our people captive despite the civilized worlds common agreement that embassies should be a safe haven. Muslims blew up marines in Beruit, Muslims strap bombs on their children in Gaza and rejoice when their progeny are blown to bits while killing Jews. Muslims attacked the USS Cole. Killing innocents. Muslims attacked the world trade center(twice) The second time slaughtering 3,000 innocent women,children and men.Muslims cut the head off of Nick Berg while he gurgled blood through his slit throat( There are videos of it because Muslims are fond of pornographic violence. Muslims attacked Spain, Bali, and London. Muslims recently shot a nun in cold blood( while she was dying she was heard saying" I forgive" I forgive" Muslims slaughtered Theo Van Gogh in the streets of Denmark. There is a word for people on this site that believe Bush and the US are a bigger threat than Muslims.The Muslims call you dhimmi. These are infidels that will not convert to Islam and so must pay a head tax( that means you pay the tax otherwise you get the Richard Pearl treatment. He was also beheaded by Muslims for the " crime" of being a Jew. I ask those of you that have any intellectual ability to reason fairly to stop and think about who and what are a bigger threat. Hating Bush is one thing. That is your right as an American. But , honestly look at the world around you and realize this Islamic/Muslim threat has been around for a long time. We didn't start the fire.
