There’s all kind of comments about the wikileaks. When confidential military information is in any way released to the public the only thing that is for sure is that someone, probably an American or someone working with America, will die–probably lots of people will die.
Of course the folks who leak the stuff and those who publish it think that they’re above the law and above minor things like killing people. They are evil. And all the other chit-chat is baloney.
The FBI penetrated and headed off an attempted terrorist bombing in Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square; the explosion was to take place minutes before the city’s annual tree-lighting Friday night, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Oregon.
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, a Somali-born U.S. citizen, who lived in nearby Corvallis, was arrested at 5:42 p.m., 18 minutes before the tree lighting was to occur, on an accusation of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. His arrest was the culmination of a long-term undercover operation, during which Mohamud had been monitored for months as the bomb plot developed. However, the “bomb” was a dummy provided to Mohamud by FBI operatives.
I am sincerely hoping that there will be significant public outrage from the American Islamic community to voice how evil this attempt was, in the perspective of members of moderate Islam.

The Supreme Court is considering whether arguments should be heard on Kerchner v. Obama, a case challenging whether President Obama is qualified to serve as president because he may not be a “natural-born citizen” as required by Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of our Constitution.
Unlike other eligibility cases that have reached the Supreme Court, Kerchner vs. Obama focuses on the “Vattel theory,” which argues that the writers of the Constitution believed the term “natural-born citizen” meant a person born in the US to parents who were both American citizens.
If the Supreme Court decides to hear the arguments on this case it could well be the end of Obama’s Presidency. It will certainly cause a constitutional crisis—we’ve never had an “unconstitutional” president before. Will his appointments to his cabinet be valid? He just appointed a new Commandant of the Marine Corps; will that stand? How about international agreements? It will certainly affect Colonel Lakin’s courtmartial.
And, as before, maybe the Supremes will decide not to pay attention to this case. Stay tuned.
North Korea fired artillery at South Korean troops conducting an exercise, killing two. The So Korean’s returned fire and scrambled some jets. So far nothing else has happened that we know of. No Korea is preparing for old dad to pass the reins of power to a very young son (like in a monarchy). Shooting is a great way to get the media’s eyes off of anything. Not sure what is going on here, but it’s at least reasonable to think that this could be the beginning of another war. So the US has to decide what we’ll do if it does get to open war. We definitely don’t want to get into a war we aren’t committed to win.
