Bush Lets Terrorist Go Free. Terrorist is Friends with Bush's Buddy Osama Bin Laden
NYT
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15 - An Islamic cleric being held by immigration officials agreed Monday to be deported, a week after federal investigators accused him of planning to set up a religious school where recruits could be trained to kill Americans.
The cleric, Shabbir Ahmed, 39, will be deported to Islamabad, Pakistan, for overstaying a three-year visa that allowed him to work in the United States as an imam.
At a hearing at an immigration court on Monday, Judge Anthony Murry, who said last week that Mr. Ahmed posed "a flight risk and a danger to the community," ordered him deported.

At a hearing last week, an F.B.I. agent, Gary Schaaf, accused Mr. Ahmed of planning to set up an Islamic school in Lodi as a front for training recruits to attack Americans. The authorities also suggested that Mr. Ahmed had indirect ties to Osama bin Laden, and said he would be an intermediary between Al Qaeda and its sympathizers in Lodi.
Two Lodi residents, Hamid Hayat, 22, and his father, Umer Hayat, 47, remain in custody on charges of making false statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigation about their ties to a terrorist training camp in Pakistan.

Red-Necks and Right-Wingnuts Didn't See This Coming.
Only a Few Months ago Jeb Bush Signed the "Stand Your Ground" Bill. Where Florida residents can now meet force with force -- and shoot to kill to defend themselves -- inside or outside of their homes.
In Today's Miami Herald is this story:
PINK PISTOLS GAY GUN OWNERS MEMBERS OF NATIONWIDE ORGANIZATION PACK HEAT TO FIGHT HATE CRIMES
Keith Jackson disappears into his Wilton Manors bedroom and returns with a taupe suede clutch. He unzips it carefully.
''I love this one, because the bullets just fly out and you don't have to reload,'' he said, ejecting a clip from a nickel-plated .45-caliber semiautomatic Smith & Wesson.
``And if some redneck decides he's going to harass or harm me, he'll be thinking twice about it pretty quickly.''
Raised in rural Pennsylvania, Jackson is an avid hunter who keeps a gun on his boat, in his car, and on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. But he's allowed his membership to the National Rifle Association to lapse since he heard about the Pink Pistols.
In fact, Jackson wants to start a local chapter of the nationwide organization of gay gun owners who believe that packing heat reduces their chances of becoming hate-crime victims.
The Pink Pistols have more than 7,000 members in the United States and British Columbia, many of whom feel alienated from conservative gun rights organizations like the NRA.
The name was coined by a gay journalist in a Salon.com essay five years ago. There are other gun-owner' groups for minority populations whose members believe that the law fails to protect them from bigots:
Jews for the Preservation of Firearms; the Second Amendment Sisters, which caters to women of all backgrounds; and the Tenth Cavalry Gun Club, named after the U.S. Army Civil War regiment of black soldiers.

Oil Embargo Best Response to Nuclear Boycott
I was wondering how long it would take before this kind of talk would start.
Iran-Press-OPEC
The best way to confront the US and EU3 dictatorship is to "impose an embargo on oil sales to those countries, said an English-language paper here Sunday commenting on last Thursday "unfair" resolution of the UN nuclear watchdog against Iran.
The 'Tehran Times' suggested in its editorial that the world oil-rich states should form a united front in order to confront "Western neocolonialist countries."
Criticizing the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) resolution against Iran, the paper said that it was ratified "to meet the objectives of the Zionist regime and the United States." It added that the resolution, issued under pressure from the United States and the European Union big three, actually indicated that "the status of international organizations, including the IAEA, has declined seriously in the face of the blackmail of the neocolonialist powers."
SNIP
"Oil is the lifeline of the West, and most of the West's military industries are dependent on it. Therefore, it is the most potent economic weapon for settling scores with neocolonialist countries," the paper stressed.
It further noted that the Iranian nation clearly has the right to stand up to the "dictatorship of the EU3 and the U.S and the best act of resistance would be to impose an embargo on oil sales to those countries."
Stressing that Iran is a country "with great potential to respond to Western meddling," the paper said that Tehran should consult with some OPEC countries and then propose plans to confront the hegemonic actions of the West.

Nominee Roberts, in '84, called equal pay for women 'radical'
WASHINGTON - As a Reagan White House attorney in 1984, John G. Roberts criticized three Republican congresswomen for supporting the "radical" idea of "comparable worth" to create pay equality between men and women.
Among the women was Olympia Snowe, now a senator from Maine, and key moderate member of the Senate, who will be voting on Roberts' nomination to the Supreme Court.
"I honestly find it troubling that three Republican representatives are so quick to embrace such a radical redistributive concept," he wrote. "Their slogan may as well be 'From each according to his ability, to each according to her gender.' "
The criticism, a parody of a Marxist slogan, came in a Feb. 20, 1984, memo that Roberts wrote to his boss, White House counsel Fred Fielding.

The Top 10 Conservative Idiots (No. 210)
August 15, 2005 · We All Live Near A Yellow Smear Machine Edition
All eyes were on Crawford last week, as Cindy Sheehan, the mother of an American soldier who died in Iraq, continued her vigil and George W. Bush did his best to ignore her. His chickenhawk buddies in the Right-Wing Smear Machine did his dirty work for him.
