Look at this video of an American traitor leading a “Holy War” in Somalia. He even calls for other Americans to come and join him. I hope we drop a bomb on this guy’s head soon.

Chuck Hagel should really stop pretending to be a Republican, when he hasn’t actually acted like one in years. Republicans should just officially take Lieberman in trade for Hagel and get it over with.

Chuck’s most recent act of treason was his speech to a small gathering at the home of the Ambassador to Italy a few nights ago. The faux Republican lambasted McCain and heaped praise on Obama for his willingness to appease talk with America’s enemies.

He even urged John McCain to “elevate his campaign discourse to a higher and more honest level.” Which is a pretty stunning request, considering what a pussycat McCain has been thus far in the campaign. He’s treated Obama with kid gloves at times when he could have done some real damage.

When asked about the rumors circulating around Washington about President Bush potentially ordering air strikes on Iran before he leaves office, Hagel responded like any good Democrat would and said, “impeach.”

You’ve got the power of impeachment, now that is a very defined measure if you are willing to bring charges against the president at all. You can’t just say I disagree with him, let’s impeach him,” said Hagel. An attack on Iran without Congress’ consent, he added, “would bring with it… outstanding political consequences, including for the Republican Party.”

The Republican Senator from Nebraska went on to say that he’s confident if Obama is elected he’ll make the right foreign policy decisions, even though “his friend” John McCain has said other things about that.

What Chucky is trying to say is that John McCain is an idiot and he’s voting for Obama.

I don’t know how many people remember the James Yee case from 2003, but unfortunately this Muslim scumbag has popped up again, this time literally in cahoots with the enemy.

James Yee is the former Muslim Chaplain who was stationed at Guantánamo Bay. He was the religious counselor for all the terror suspects detained there.

Throughout his deployment many of his fellow soldiers became deeply suspicious of Yee, and felt that he was a sympathizer who was working against them as best he could.

When returning from duty at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, he was arrested on September 10, 2003, in Jacksonville, Florida, when a U.S. Customs agent found a list of Guantanamo detainees and interrogators among his belongings.

He was charged with five offenses: sedition, aiding the enemy, spying, espionage, and failure to obey a general order. These charges were later reduced to mishandling classified information in addition to some minor charges.

He was then transferred to a United States Navy brig in Charleston, South Carolina. The government did not name the country or entity for whom it suspected Yee was spying.

All court-martial charges against Yee were dropped on March 19, 2004, Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller “citing national security concerns that would arise from the release of the evidence,” and he was released to resume his duties.

In April the noncriminal charges of adultery and storing pornography on government computers were dropped. He retired from the US military with an honorable discharge in January, but he is also seeking an apology.

Yee went on to write a crappy book detailing all the abuses the poor terrorists were subjected to. Since then most people had forgotten about the traitor, but now he has popped up on Syrian television. He tells the Arab world about all the abuse the Muslims detainees suffered.

Of course, he admits in the interview that he never actually witnessed any of the abuse, but the terrorists told him about it.

James Yee is a disgraceful individual who should be rotting in Gitmo with all his terrorist buddies.

Following are excerpts from an interview with former Guantanamo army chaplain James Yee, which aired on Syrian TV on October 19, 2007.

Interviewer: How was religion being used against those prisoners [in Guantanamo Bay]?

Yee: Great question. One, we’ve all heard how the Koran has been desecrated down in Guantanamo and as Koran, the holy Koran – the words which Muslims all over the world consider the literal words of God – was being desecrated in Guantanamo in many different ways.

Interviewer: It was thrown into toilets and whatever, that’s what we read.

Yee: The initial report that was printed by Newsweek indicated that perhaps the Koran was thrown into a toilet by an interrogator. It was unfortunate, that Newsweek had to retract that story, but I talked firsthand with prisoners who were held in Camp X-Ray, which was the first prison camp of Guantanamo, very early on in 2002, and prisoners told me directly that the Korans that they had brought with them were tossed into buckets – buckets which were used as toilets in that makeshift camp. I myself…

Interviewer: So… Buckets basically of urine and feces, is that correct?

Yee: Right, right, exactly. This was before I got there and this was in Camp X-Ray, where, again, it was a quick makeshift prison, set up for the first prisoners who arrived there. When I got there, Camp Delta, which was a little more sturdy and each cell had its own toilet, was already built by the time I got to Guantanamo in late 2002. The Korans were thrown on the floor by guards when they conducted cell searches. It has been reported and I have learned now that interrogators also were throwing the Korans on the floor or stomping on it. This was happening when I was there, and this was an issue.

Interviewer: You actually saw this happening?

Yee: I didn’t see it because I wasn’t a part of the intelligence operation, but I was aware directly from the prisoners, when they came to me with the complaints and concerns. It became such an issue that prisoners carried out massive protests. Some of them even attempted suicide in response to how awful the Koran was being abused. So this is something that was occurring, was addressed officially…

Interviewer: And did it stop?

Yee: …by myself and many others down in Guantanamo. It did come to a stop at a certain point. And one of the reasons is when one of the prisoners attempted suicide, the intelligence officers got a little bit smart, because they realized at that point that if a prisoner ended up killing himself, then they could no longer interrogate that prisoner. So they said we don’t want prisoners killing themselves…

Interviewer: Because we can’t put them to use anymore.

Yee: Exactly, but it was them who were driving them towards these suicide attempts by desecrating the Koran.

[...]

Yee: I learned from the prisoners that female interrogators were a big part of the intelligence gathering operation, and I recall even the commander of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Major General Jeffery Miller, often saying in media interviews that female interrogators were very creative in their approach to gathering intelligence and conducting interrogations.

Interviewer: What did he mean by “creative?”

Yee: What was actually going on in these interrogation rooms with these female interrogators was that they were very ready to conduct their interrogation by stripping off their clothes, being nude in front of Muslim prisoners, thinking that Muslims who come from a conservative Muslim society might break or be shattered by this type of behavior. But they went farther than that, and they would inappropriately rub their bodies against these prisoners. It has even been reported, and suggested in FBI memos that have been subsequently released, that female interrogators even went so far as grabbing the genitals of Muslim male prisoners in the course of interrogating them. For me, as a Muslim, and for many of the other Muslim Americans who were down there, when we learned of this, we thought this was not only degrading towards the prisoner, we thought this was degrading towards…

Interviewer: The women themselves.

Yee: …The women themselves who are engaging in this type of behavior. But we can take that even a step further, and say this was degrading to all women. Because what was essentially happening, these women were presenting themselves as simply sex objects and this is not how we should view women in any society.

[...]

Yee: And in my view, it happened to me – all of this – because of three reasons: One reason is because I am a Muslim, and in this post 9/11 era, in the West, in America, we find this tremendous anti-Muslim hostility and Islamophobia, in which, all Muslims are see as potential terrorists. And I’m a Muslim, an American Muslim, and I believe that played a large role in why I was targeted. The second is because of my ethnicity – I’m a Chinese American. I learned that when I was…

Interviewer: So you are not blond and blue eyed and whatever.

Yee: Yes. I learned that when I was under investigation someone had said of me: “Who the hell does this Chinese Taliban think he is, telling us how to treat our prisoners?” So the fact that I was called a Chinese Taliban is an indication that my ethnicity also played a role. That third reason was because I was objecting to the cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of prisoners down in Guantanamo. I believe this threatened many of those who were engaged in that possibly unlawful conduct, and I believe people might have been afraid that I was going to go public, because I was someone who actually interviewed with the media on a weekly basis, as the Muslim chaplain down in Guantanamo.

In today’s New York Times I was disturbed to read about another left-wing hero/American traitor. Every once in a while the military finds itself with a turncoat within its ranks and that person is usually dealt with swiftly. Unfortunately, the turncoat usually does significant damage before he is discovered.

That was the situation with Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Diaz who was stationed at the American detention center at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Diaz enlisted in the Army as a 17-year-old high-school dropout. He had earned his college degree while serving as an artillery sergeant and then completed law school. In 10 years as a Navy lawyer, his performance evaluations had been outstanding.

With another promotion all but certain and his 6-month tour at Gitmo nearing its end, Lt. Cmdr. Diaz decided to throw it all away and betray his country.

Sitting at a secure desktop computer, he printed out page after page of classified information. When he was done, Diaz had assembled a document 39 pages long. In tiny type, it listed names, prison serial numbers and other information for each of the 551 men who were then being held by the United States at Guantanamo Bay.

For nearly two weeks after printing the list, he kept it locked inside the safe in his office. He later trimmed the pages down to the size of index cards, and slipped the pages inside a Valentine’s Day card he had purchased at the base store.

Diaz then mailed the classified documents to the New York offices of the Center for Constitutional Rights, a left-wing legal-advocacy group that was among the most zealous opponents of the Bush administration’s Guantanamo policy.

The center was then suing the government on a range of sensitive issues including the Patriot Act, immigrants’ rights, and of course Guantanamo.

To their credit the Center turned the documents over to the Justice Department. A short investigation by the F.B.I. revealed that Diaz had printed the documents from his computer and had left his fingerprints all over them.

This past May, Matthew Diaz became the only United States serviceman to be convicted and imprisoned for an act of insubordination directed at the Bush administration’s detention policies.

On May 18 this year, after a weeklong trial, a panel of seven naval officers convicted Diaz on four of five counts, including one of disclosing secret defense information that “could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of a foreign nation.”

After a few crocodile tears in front of a jury he was only sentenced to 6 months in prison, a dishonorable discharge, and permanent loss of his law license.

The article in the NY Times portrays Diaz as some kind of martyr who wanted to do the right thing no matter what the cost.

When you join the military you follow orders and shut the hell up. You certainly don’t release documents that have been deemed classified because YOU think they shouldn’t have been.

Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Diaz is a disgrace to the uniform he wore and to his country. He is extremely lucky to have only received six months in prison, because 10 years would have been far more appropriate.

We have a big enough problem with liberal activists trying to undermine the war effort from the outside without having those people do damage from the inside as well.
