WASHINGTON—The U.S. has lost track of many former Guantanamo detainees who had been sent home to the Middle East and North Africa, a sign that unrest in the region is disrupting critical terror-fighting relationships America has built up since the Sept. 11 attacks, U.S. officials say. The flow of information from Libya, Yemen and other governments in the region about the whereabouts and activities of the former Guantanamo detainees, along with other Islamists released from local prisons, has slowed or even stopped, the officials say. U.S. officials say they fear that former detainees will re-join al Qaeda and other Islamist groups. Read the full story: WSJ

IS WATERBOARDING TORTURE? CNN Amanpour vs. Marc Thiessen

Author confronts those pushing false comparisons between the CIA and the torturers of murderous regimes. Marc Thiessen, author of Courting Disaster, lectured CNN’s Amanpour how the CIA interrogation techniques DO NOT resemble the tortures used by the murderous regimes as cited so often by the left to promulgate the idea that America does not have moral standing…and to weaken America. Thiessen confronted CNN’s Amanpour for her misleading reports about the CIA’s waterboarding techniques by comparing them to the Khmer Rouge torturers in Cambodia. The Khmer Rouge did not “simulate drowning” at prison S-21 – they actually drowned their victims. Only 7 of the 14,000 people who entered S-21 emerged alive.
Human Events summarizes the electric exchange of January 20, 2010: Marc Thiessen directly challenged the CNN’s [Amanpour] with evidence that she had misled her viewers about the CIA’s waterboarding techniques…Thiessen pulled out a transcript from a 2008 CNN broadcast from the Khmer Rouge prison S-21, where Amanpour had stood before a picture of Khmer Rouge torturers drowning an innocent Cambodian in a vat of water, and declared that the CIA had done the same thing to terrorists in its custody. Thiessen told Amanpour, “There have been so many misstatements told about the enhanced interrogation techniques, comparing them to the Spanish Inquisition and the Khmer Rouge, and I have to tell you Christiane, you are one of the people who have spread these mistruths.” [snip] …Thiessen told her, “We did not submerge people in a box of water.” Amanpour replied, “Excuse me a second, that is called waterboarding.” “No it’s not,” Thiessen replied. …Thiessen pressed his point: “Christiane you are absolutely wrong. 14,000 people killed in S-21. Seven survivors …” But Amanpour cut him off, “Excuse me, you are trying to obfuscate the debate. That prison was full of images of water torture.” Thiessen responded, “Which is nothing like what the CIA did. Do you have any evidence …” …Thiessen pressed her: “I want to answer this, because it is very important. What you said was not waterboarding but a barrel filled with water. You have no evidence whatsoever that the CIA did what you said they did.”
Thiessen writes, “In truth, what has harmed America’s moral standing in the world are the false comparisons made by those who declare that America has practiced the same techniques as the most reviled despots and dictators in human history—when in fact we have done nothing of the sort.”

Sister Toldjah reports: Former senior Bush administration official Marc Thiessen has been a machine over the last couple of years when it comes to setting the record straight on CIA interrogation tactics and how the “EIT”s (Enhanced Interrogation Tactics) like waterboarding, for example, actually did stop terrorist attacks and saved lives. Fortunately for us, he’s still at it this year, both with a new book on the issue and hitting the media circuit to talk about both it and the misinformation being spread by revenge-minded Democrats and their cohorts in MSM about what did and did not happen.

OBAMA’S NEW TERRORISTS: AMERICANS

Obama’s DHS (Dept. of Homeland Security) reports are to cast Americans as extremists (especially Obama’s critics) These reports are not published by mistake, they have a purpose: to divide and weaken Americans, to politicize law enforcement, give ammunition to mainstream media and politicians to attack Americans and easily push for their agendas, and intimidate all of us into submission…just as any other Banana-Republic dictatorship. These reports are painting disturbing trends of the Obama administration: 1. Shamelessly camouflages its radical agenda as rational analysis. 2. Preemptively gives all Americans criminal qualifications based on no evidence and bogus analyses.

DHS REPORT: DOMESTIC EXTREMISM LEXICON (dated March 26, 2009) (PDF)
	According to Obama’s DHS these demographics are extremists (excludes Islamic groups): • White nationalists • Black nationalists • Mexican nationalists • Puerto Rican nationalists • Violent religious sects • Jewish extremism Guess how DHS defines who is a terrorist now: Alternative media, anti-abortion, anti-immigration, patriots, tax protesters and resisters; those who oppose driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants providing in-state tuition, medical benefits, or public education; Cuban independence, environmentalism, Jewish extremism, Mexican separatism, right-wing militias, white supremacists, the anti-war movement, anarchy, animal rights extremism, black nationalism; those with shaved head or very short hair, jeans, thin suspenders, combat boots or Doc Martens, a bomber jacket, and tattoos of Nazi-like emblems….
PDF here or here.

	DHS REPORT: RIGHT-WING EXTREMISM: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment (April 7, 2009) (PDF) According to the DHS you are a “rightwing terrorists or extremists” if you are: • Returning veterans (p.7) • Antagonistic toward the Obama administration (p.3) • Those dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration (p.2) • Chatter on the internet focusing on the economy, job loss, and home foreclosures (p.3) • Hate-oriented: based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups (p.2) • Antigovernment: rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely (p.2)
PDF here or here.

Errors in the DHS report: • No evidence is provided (i.e., how the “rightwing extremists have capitalized on the election of the first African American president”) • Broad descriptions of extremists (i.e., “groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration”) • Conspiracy fabrication: There are less than 6 incidents attributed to so-called “right-wing extremist” in the last 20 years while there are thousands of Islamic Jihadist attacks and decades of radical leftist anti-American hate speech and actions, but the DHS decides to fabricate “potential” rightist conspiracies. • Criminalizing political debate: Intents to transform political debate topics (i.e., abortion, illegal immigration, gun rights, jobs, economy) into extremism • Reinforce into the public psyche the leftist stereotypes of the military and average Americans (i.e., Obama and his acolytes condescending rhetoric that Americans are “clinging to guns and religion”) • Refers to the atrocities of Ruby Ridge and Waco as an example of radical motivations. Both events were anti-constitutional criminal abuses by the government on American citizens. Watch Out For Those Crazy Right Wingers! Homeland Security on guard for ‘right-wing extremists’ The execrable DHS report on “right-wing extremism”

	MISSOURI & DHS REPORT: THE MODERN MILITIA MOVEMENT (aka Missouri Documents) Prepared by the MIAC (Missouri Information Analysis Center, a division of the state police) with assistance from the DHS. (February 20, 2009) This report warned law enforcement to watch for potential terrorist signs: • Bumper stickers for third-party political candidates such as Ron Paul, Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin • “Right to Carry” handgun stickers • Cartoons or derogatory stickers of IRS, UN, CIA, etc. • “Radical” ideologies based on Christian views, such as opposing illegal immigration, abortion and federal taxes • Americans concerned about unemployment, taxes, illegal immigration, gangs, border security, abortion, high costs of living, gun restrictions, FEMA, the IRS, The Federal Reserve, and the North American Union • Americans who like gun shows, short wave radios, combat movies, movies with white male heroes, Tom Clancey Novels • Ideologies like: Tax Resistors, Sovereign citizens, Anti-immigration, etc.

	OBAMA USES FORCE OF LAW TO REPRESS HIS OPPOSITION It was very clear during the campaign Obama “Truth Squads” intimidated critics (Hat tip: American Thinker): • Obama encouraged the prosecution of people who criticized him too aggressively • Missouri Sheriffs & Top Prosecutors formed Obama “Truth Squads” & to threaten libel charges against Obama critics • Obama’s Missouri Goon Squads find resistance • video: Obama had St. Louis Prosecuting attorney Jennifer Joyce and St. Louis County’s Bob McCullugh on the squad, as well as a number of Democrats holding high positions in law enforcement statewide

OBAMA’S CIVILIAN FORCE Video: Obama’s “Civilian National Security”: Obama proposed a national militia trained, funded and strong like one of the branches of the military More thuggery from Obama campaign

The contradictions of the new DHS: “This all comes from the same DHS, under new leadership from the Obama Administration, that stopped using the word “terrorism” in regard to Muslim terrorists in favor of the term “man made disasters”. This from the same new DHS that stopped calling it the “war on terror” and now call it the “overseas contingency operation”; so while real violent terrorists who want is all dead get all sorts of new euphemisms dripping with political correctness, their political opponents get tarred with terms like “violent extremists” or “white supremacists”. Hmmm, how about the term ” Islamic supremacists”? Notice how the word “violent” is used against their political opponents but is not used against Islamic terrorists who commit violence regularly?”
