CAIR Welcomes ‘Preliminary Victory’ in Imams’ Suit Against Airline
CAIR welcomed a ruling today by a federal judge in Minnesota that rejected almost all of the arguments made by U.S. Airways and the Metropolitan Airports Commission in the case of six imams removed from a flight last year in Minneapolis, then arrested and denied further service.
Ahh yes the flying Imams. If the courts do not allow people protection under the law for doing the right thing the we are doomed.

There is still work to do
BAGHDAD — A bomb exploded in a pet market in central Baghdad on Friday, killing at least 13 people and wounding dozens, Iraqi police said, shattering the festive atmosphere as people strolled past the animal stalls.
Hours later, a suicide car bomber struck a police checkpoint in the northern city of Mosul, killing three policemen and 10 civilians, police Brig. Gen. Mohammed al-Wakaa said. The 1:30 p.m. explosion also left 10 cars charred.
The attacks were among the deadliest in recent weeks, underscoring warnings by senior American commanders that extremists still pose a threat to Iraq's fragile security despite a downturn in violence since a U.S.-Iraqi security plan began in mid-February.
The blast at the popular weekly al-Ghazl bazaar occurred just before 9 a.m.
The explosives were hidden in a box that is commonly used to carry small animals, a police officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the information.
At least 13 people were killed and nearly 60, including four policemen, were wounded, according to figures provided by police and hospital officials. Several shops also were damaged.

The al-Ghazl market, where sellers peddle birds, dogs, cats, sheep, goats and exotic animals such as snakes and monkeys, has been targeted in the past. On Jan. 26, 15 people were killed when a bomb hidden in a box of pigeons exploded as shoppers gathered around it.
Friday's blast was particularly significant because it dealt a blow to an increased feeling of confidence among Iraqis about the recent calm in the capital and surrounding areas.
The market has regained popularity after the lifting of a four-hour Friday driving ban to protect prayer services from car bombings. The Iraqi government lifted the weekly ban in September, citing the improving security situation.
A local store owner who would only give his name as Abu Zainab said he had only reopened his business two weeks ago.
"I was reluctant to open it after lifting the curfew because of security concerns," he said of his cleaning supply store that is about yards away from the blast site.
"Today, the view of many young men coming with pets, colorful fish in aquariums and dogs was very encouraging and cheerful," he said. "There were also teenagers selling sandwiches and tea in wheeled carts giving the impression that life is back to normal again, but about 9 o'clock, we heard the sound of an explosion."
He described a scene of chaos, with birds flying into a sky filled with smoke and the bodies of young men who had been killed and wounded on the ground.
"We helped evacuate some of them, then the Iraqi police and army came and told us to leave because they feared another explosion could take place," he said.
Amir Aziz, a 22-year-old pigeon vendor who was wounded by shrapnel, said he was in the middle of a transaction when the blast occurred.
"Today, the market was very crowded and we were happy about that," he said. "The Iraqi security officials have deceived us by their statements that the situation is 80 percent better. People believed them and began to go out thinking that it would be safe. I think that the situation will become worse again."
In other violence, a parked car bomb targeted a police patrol in Shurqat, 155 miles northwest of Baghdad, killing one officer and wounding 15 others, along with one civilian, authorities said.
The top U.S. commander in northern Iraq, Army Maj. Gen. Mark P. Hertling, warned earlier this month that northern Iraq has become more violent than other regions as al-Qaida and other militants move there to avoid coalition operations elsewhere.
American officials say attacks have dropped 55 percent nationwide since June. But American military commanders repeatedly have warned that Iraq is by no means stable, even though the violence is declining.
A spokesman for the Iraqi military, Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, urged Iraqis to be patient, saying U.S. and Iraqi forces were gaining the upper hand but need time "to achieve positive results."
He made his comments on Thursday, a day that saw a brazen attack against U.S.-backed Sunni fighters on the southern belt of Baghdad that provoked a fierce gunbattle and left 18 people dead, including three Iraqi soldiers, eight members of the so-called Awakening Council and seven suspected al-Qaida in Iraq militants.
U.S. authorities have attributed some of their success in reducing violence to the role of the groups of Sunnis who have worked with the Americans to drive al-Qaida from their neighborhoods.
Mortars or rockets also slammed into the Green Zone on Thursday in the biggest attack against the U.S.-protected area in weeks. The U.S. military said nobody was killed but there were unspecified injuries.
I am suprised that the MSM is not trumpeting how we are really not winning. I actually found this on Fox. CNN has not reported this at all as they are talking about shopping which is all well and good but they forget we are at war.

Barbarians at the Gates
Three suspected Al Qaeda militants beheaded an Iraqi couple in front of the couple's children, Reuters reported Friday.
The suspected militants were reportedly related to the victims, and told a family uncle the male victim was an infidel because he wore Western-style trousers and did not pray, according to the Reuters report.
The three suspects, including two sisters, reportedly carried out the execution at an all-boys school in Jalawlah in Diyala province.
This is disgusting as it is disturbing. That is why I like the fact we are murfing them at a rate of 1500 a month. I want this war to end I truly do but with this type of thinking how do you fight that.

Kucinich Protests Army Training School
Associated Press November 19, 2007
COLUMBUS, Ga. - Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich said Nov. 18 the thinking thatwent into producing an Army school blamed for human rights abuses in Latin America was the samethat led the U.S. to war in Iraq and could cause it to raid Iran.
Kucinich was speaking at the 18th annual protest of the school at Fort Benning that trainsLatin American soldiers, police and government officials. One of his first acts as president if elected would be to close the school, he said. "The type of thinking that produced this school is the same type of thinking that produced thewar in Iraq and is producing a war against Iran," Kucinich said. The Ohio congressman andformer Cleveland mayor was addressing a crowd estimated by local police to number roughly10,000. The Army's School of the Americas moved to Fort Benning from Panama in 1984 and was replaced in2001 by the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, under the DefenseDepartment. The protests outside the gate to the military installation are timed to commemorate six Jesuitpriests who were killed along with their housekeeper and her daughter in El Salvador on Nov.19, 1989. Some of those who killed them had attended the School of the Americas.
This guy is the moonbattiest of moonbats
It was also this school that introduced human rights classes to Latin American military training you durn fool idgit. Maybe I am missing something here but I believe the oh enlightened on Hugo Chavez military has gotten a little more thuggish since U.S. influence has been taken away. By the way the Govt of El Salvador while it had its attrocities on both sides that were very sad is a success story in how to combat an insurgency.
