Yemeni by the name of Ali Hamza al-Bahlul began his trial today at Gitmo. He is the creep who on Bin ladens orders made a propaganda video which glorified the bombing of the USS Cole on 10/12/00.
This sleaze bag admits to pledging loyalty to Bin laden and to doing whatever necessary to kill Americans, Jews, and other infidels who disagree with Bin Ladens sick beliefs. The Violent propaganda video was designed to "awaken the Islamic revolt against America". And we all know that unfortunately it has work extremely well in helping to persuade young radical Islamic men to commit murder of innocent people.
He also served as a bodyguard for Bin Laden when he was not producing "hate" films. This nob head is a bona fide believer in Bin ladens warped and twisted ideology. It was reported that he was not going to participate in his trial. Just like a sulking little child who wants attention.
I want to wish the Military Commission Cole Team the best of luck in obtaining a a favorable outcome for this subhuman. Please excuse me if my opinion of him seems overly harsh. But keep in mind that this man made a video which I watched that glorified the murder of 17 innocent sailors. One of them, our son. A video that was and is intended to incite yet more murders of innocent people.
His despicable actions remind me of a child pervert who will film children who are being molested and sexually abused and then share those videos with his other sick and perverted friends. No doubt the ACLU will be there to protect his rights, and to scream how his actions were a "victimless crime". Whats odd is how the ACLU is always the first to yell "hate crime" when an a special individual here in America is murdered and or hurt in an attack. I never understood the idea of a hate crime anyway. If you kill someone, beat them, and or rape them its obvious that you do not hold any love for them. And its a sure bet that your feeling "hate" when you commit the crime. Yet I seriously doubt that the ACLU will want this man,and his group charged with a hate crime. But then again the ACLU and Common Sense are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
These idiots either cannot see how videos like the one he made of the Cole attack only encourage more attacks and more murders, and or the emotional damage and pain that such a video elicits in the victims family members. Of course not. They are to worried and concerned about the criminal.
I know that the Cole Team is fighting hard for us and our murdered son. And will do everything possible to ensure that justice is served on this man. But then again we have "partisan politics" in every courtroom in these days. Americans so fanatic about their own party beliefs that they will do all they can for our enemies just so they can make the other party look bad. And when you really think about it, Americans who are guilty of such thinking that sets terrorists free, and or minimizes their brutal acts of murder are just as evil as the terrorists themselves.

Letter To President Saleh of Yemen
October 10, 2008
President Saleh,It's that time of year again; yet another anniversary of the attack on the USS Cole in Port Aden, Yemen on October 12th, 2000. In that attack, our son and sixteen of his mates were brutally murdered, and 39 other sailors were wounded. Since the last time I wrote you a year ago, many changes, some positive and some not, have occurred in relation to the attack on the Cole and the status of your corrupt regime.
First and foremost, we wrote our Texas representative and members of Congress asking for a Congressional Hearing into why our government still supports your dictatorship after you gave the plotters and planners of the Cole attack reduced sentences and pardons for the murders of 17 American Sailors. The rest of the convicted killers conveniently escaped from your prisons. And some remain free to this day, eight years after the attack.
Our Senators have kept us informed as to our requests. We received word recently from them that next year Congress will hold Judiciary Committee hearings. We are extremely grateful to the politicians who have decided that its way past the time to review and hopefully take action against you and your regime. And to put an end to all your worthless and broken promises that you made to two American presidents and our government.
It can now be stated as fact, President Saleh, that FBI Agent John O'Neil and his team were correct in their suspicion that you and your government knew much more about the pending attack on the Cole than you admitted after the attack. Unfortunately, Ambassador Bodine and President Clinton refused to let the FBI follow up on their leads and question members of your government and family after the attack. Instead FBI agent O'Neil was kicked out of your country for wanting to conduct a proper investigation. How ironic that he would be killed in the 9/11 attack less than one year later; an attack that-if Presidents Clinton and Bush had heeded his requests-would not have happened in all probability.
You Sir could have allowed a thorough investigation after the Cole attack, so all of the clues and evidence and even some of the terrorists who would participate in 9/11 could have been found. But instead you and government not only interfered with the investigation but threw up hurdles to impede and effectively stop the investigation. So really, sir, you and your government are not only guilty in the Cole attack, but just as guilty in withholding evidence and protecting suspects that would later take part in the attack on 9/11. We all know now, as many did then, that you were and still are covering up for your Al-Qaeda friends. You and your government did an excellent job at it too. All of the clues and leads that were just waiting to be pieced together after the Cole attack were concealed so well until it was too late to stop the next attack on our country less than a year later on September 11th.
There is a bright side for us in all of this for us, however. It is the fact that more and more people are now seeing how you have used and manipulated Al-Qaeda and two American administrations to achieve your own sick and twisted goals. More major US newspapers in the past year are now reporting how common it is for you to use Al-Qaeda as a friend one day (to fight for you to help quell rebellions in your country and to keep your people oppressed), and then on the next day use Al-Qaeda as a tool to get more money, arms and other assistance from America. This past year we have watched as you imprisoned Yemeni journalists and activists who dared to question your regime's brutal tactics. My family and I were proud to sign the petition along with thousands of others to have those journalists freed. And just as important, if not more so, is all the dedication of the men and women at the Military Commission who are working extremely hard and effectively at bringing more of your Al-Qaeda friends to Justice for the murder of our son and his mates. Even in a democracy such as ours we have faults and obstacles to overcome. We actually have Americans in this country that would rather see terrorists who have murdered their fellow Americans set free than to receive their punishment for their crimes.
It's called partisan politics, or putting politics before the truth. But at least your terrorist friends stand to receive a more impartial trial here than they would from you. We all know how you treat killers. You free them to kill again. My wife and I look forward to watching that trial in person and seeing the first real justice ever served on the killers since the Cole attack. It is my sincerest hope that I will be able to bear witness in person regarding the misery that those terrorists have brought, not only to us but to others as well. It's also my hope that the killers you set free will be caught in the future, and that they too will stand trial in a real courtroom, one that adheres to the laws of truth and justice rather than some dictator's personal whims such as yourself.
My wife and I will go to visit our son's grave site this Sunday. I am going to read to him the letters from our congress people who are going to finally convene the long overdue Judiciary Hearings. I am also going to read to him how the American people are slowly beginning to realize how you and your regime have been allowed to get away with not only the murder of 17 sailors, but how your refusal to let the FBI conduct a proper Investigations led to one of the worst attacks on American soil, an attack that killed so many of my fellow Americans.
Our son's murder could have meant something at the time of the attack. But our government ignored it, because they were concerned about offending you, and because they were in the middle of a presidential election in the country. Historically major decisions are never made at such a time (be it by the Democrats' or Republicans') because they are concerned about negative fallout that might prevent them from keeping their jobs. The attack on the Cole could have been a wake up call for our leaders to take action before it was too late. Now our leaders have a second chance at correcting their first mistakes in dealing with you, your regime, and how they mishandled the aftermath of the Cole attack. They can all agree to stop the flow of money and arms to your regime. I hope they finally realize that its time put a stop to your policy of releasing known terrorists to kill other innocent people again, and your use of Al-Qaeda as a political tool to keep your regime in power in Yemen, and to squeeze more assistance from my government. The insanity has to be stopped sometime.
I think that you are now watching and living the end of your ruthless reign over your people and Yemen. And the end is coming to your continued manipulation of my government for your own personal power and wealth.
We are also going to share with him about all of our fellow Americans who are helping us in setting right the terrible wrongs committed after the Forgotten Cole attack, and the free
Yemenis who are working with us too. We know that he would be proud and happy to know that so many people want see him and his mates obtain the Justice that has been denied them for so many years now. All the help and support we have had from Americans and Yemenis makes me proud and still amazes me. It's one of my wife's greatest comforts to know that so many people care, while our government ignored her pleas for years. In closing Sir, I would like to add that we still have not received a letter of condolence from your government for our son's murder in your country at your request. We like to think that with a new President in office next year and other new politicians along with the ones now helping us will finally stop supporting your regime.
At least that action would give some meaning to our son's murder. So would knowing that he and his mates played a part in having one of the world's most devious, conniving, and murderous dictators removed from the position of power where you have caused so much death, destruction, and misery.
It's my hope that I will not be writing you this time next year, unless you are in prison, but instead to a new leader of Yemen, a leader who will abide by freedom of the press and speech, freedom of religion, and all the other norms of a free society.Remember the USS Cole, Mr. President. Because we the families of the murdered and wounded sailors and Americans and free Yemenis will not rest until we achieve our goal of ridding Yemen of your presence. We will not forget you Sir.
"A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inactions, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury."

TheAmerican Press is finally really starting to expose the corrupt regime of Yemen. Which is governed by the ruthless dictator President Saleh. Saleh's notorious duplicity for using Al-Qaeada and both the Clinton and Bush administration is actually being reported on much more often now here in America. As well as his complicity for using Al-Qaeda to further his own political agenda. And then performing an about face and asking the administration for more money and arms to fight Al-Qaeda with.
But now that America is in that limbo where we are between the current president, and the next president Saleh is showing his true colors. His Foreign Minister About Bakr al-Qurbi has said that his government will continue to reject demands to arrest suspects that are wanted by the United Nations and the United States. These terrorists are financiers of Al-Qaeda, organizers and know terrorists who have murdered Americans like our son and his 16 mates.
Instead of releasing these terrorists to American to stand trial, Saleh puts them through a religious rehabilitation program and then sets them free. Many of these "rehabilitated" terrorists return right back to their terrorist activities. And he has been doing this for years now. And getting away with it while all Clinton and Bush have done is to "lodge complaints". And to keep supporting his ruthless regime.
Saleh will not even take the step of officially banning Islamist groups that scream for more violence and Jihad. While other Arabic nations have. His so called courts have released terrorists to go to Iraq to fight our soldiers, and now its believed that some of those terrorists may have returned from Iraq to take part in the latest attack on theUS Embassy.
And just this week Saleh voiced his support for the Mass murderer of the the Sudan, President Bashri. Again.
My family and I would like to say thank-you to both the Washington Post and Newsweek for their coverage of Saleh's Regime. Its so refreshing to actually read in major papers what many of us have know for years. And have been fighting not only Saleh's regime, but our own government to stop their support of Saleh's government who did nothing to of any real meaning to bring our son's killers to Justice. And how his government did everything possible to interfere with the FBI investigation into the Cole attack, and then to release those responsible for the planning, and organization of the attack.
We were informed this month that the Judiciary Committee will hold Hearing next year into the USS Cole attack. Its our hope that our son and and 16 mates and all those wounded in the attack will not be forgotten anymore my our government.

Terrorists Use Former Israeli Land to launch Attacks
Terrorists used former Jewish Communities in the Gaza Strip as training grounds for future attacks on Israeli citizens this past week-end. The Palestinian terrorists are tickled pink that they now have so much room to conduct large terrorists training exercises. So much for Bush's Peace Plan huh?
But then again Bush will be out of office shortly which means it want be his problem anymore. And Rice was just in Israel last week to encourage the Israeli government to give more land to the terrorists, and for Israel to free more Palestinian murderers back to Palestine.
Is this insane or what? Now the Palestinians can use settlements complete with synagogues and houses that once belonged to Israelis to train freed terrorists who were once locked up in Israeli prisons to kill more Israelis. And Bush and Rice call that "peace with progress". Nothing like professional politics and politicians.
Abu Muhammad stated that Palestinian terrorists groups are using the cease fire with Israel to stock up on more weapons to attack Israeli citizens with. But then again before Israel retreated from the contested territories back in 2005 they stated that they would use the former Jewish settlements to train on and too attack Israel from in the future. Unfortunately they lived up to their word. Like no-one, except professional politicians and liberals excluded did not see this coming.
Even more sickening is that the Palestinian terrorists were showing off their training of young boys between the ages of 9 and 12. "I am learning how to fight the Jews and to kill Jewish children", remarked one 11 year old boy. Nothing like passing on a time honored family tradition to your children.
And we have politicians who actually think that by having Israel to give up more lands, and to free more Palestinian terrorists will make these fanatics stop killing Israeli citizens. Its not worked in the past, and its not working now.

Yemen Refuses to Extridite Cole Bomber
Yemen's Foreign Minister stated that his government will not release Jamal al-Badwai who helped to murder 17 American Sailors, and Jaber Elbaneh who has a five million dollar reward on his head for providing support and or resources to foreign terrorists organizations. President Saleh's government has been sympathetic to Al-Qaeda for years now. And has sheltered know murders wanted for various terror attacks including the attack on the USS Cole. It was revealed in one of the show trials of one of the terrorists that Saleh's government had helped to facilitate the attack on the USS Cole in more ways than one.
President Saleh continues to release these killers while the Bush administration does nothing but whine and complain.
Just recently a Yemeni journalist was given six long years of hard labour for speaking out against Saleh and his regime. His name is Abdul Karim al-Khaiwani. He was the editor-in-chief of of the website al-Shura.net. Before he was arrested this time he had been harassed, abducted and imprisoned, his web site blocked, and his family threatened. I wish the man luck in getting out of his predicament. I also applaud his courage to stand up to Saleh at the risk of his own life, and freedom. I just wish Bush and our own politicians had the courage that this man has to stand up to Saleh's regime.
Lets not forget this is the regime that both President Clinton and President Bush have supported for years now. Bush continues to demonstrate his support for the brutal dictator even as Saleh's beleaguered regimes problems continue to mount.
And those problems are serious. Saleh has been dealing with an insurgency in the North of Yemen, riots in the South, and his fair weather friends Al-Qaeda have increased thier attacks across the country. But Saleh is a master at using all these threats to his advantage in dealing with other nations, especially America. Bush continues to let Saleh get away with the murder of 17 American sailors, and the oppression of democracy for fears that Al-Qeada will take over the country if he stops providing aid to Salehs dictatorship. Saleh has used his worthless promises to rid the country of Al-Qeada for years now in exchange for assistance from Bush. While just the opposite is taking place now. Al-Qeada's new chief in Yemen has ordered more attacks in Yemen, and more in the future. And it appears that Bin laden may be setting Yemen up for a new battleground, and a future stronghold for Al-Qaeda as well. Granted, all these problems are nothing new to Saleh. He has dealt with them for years now. And has made a fortune from them in aid from various countries. But what is new is Al-Qaeda's change of direction in Yemen. And the reports that indicate that Yemen may just be the country that they are looking for as a major base of operations. Its strategically located, its population is divided, it has the perfect terrain for guerrilla warfare, tribes sympathetic to Al-Qaeda, and a corrupt government just to name a few enticements for Bin-Laden.
And even though Bush must realize that Saleh outwitted him, just as he did Clinton. He is really powerless to do anything now. Saleh and Al-Qaeda know it too. Now it just remains to be seen if Saleh can make a deal like he did before with Al-Qaeda to save his own neck, and his regime.
President Saleh continues to release these killers while the Bush administration does nothing but whine and complain.
Just recently a Yemeni journalist was given six long years of hard labour for speaking out against Saleh and his regime. His name is Abdul Karim al-Khaiwani. He was the editor-in-chief of of the website al-Shura.net. Before he was arrested this time he had been harassed, abducted and imprisoned, his web site blocked, and his family threatened. I wish the man luck in getting out of his predicament. I also applaud his courage to stand up to Saleh at the risk of his own life, and freedom. I just wish Bush and our own politicians had the courage that this man has to stand up to Saleh's regime.
Lets not forget this is the regime that both President Clinton and President Bush have supported for years now. Bush continues to demonstrate his support for the brutal dictator even as Saleh's beleaguered regimes problems continue to mount.
And those problems are serious. Saleh has been dealing with an insurgency in the North of Yemen, riots in the South, and his fair weather friends Al-Qaeda have increased thier attacks across the country. But Saleh is a master at using all these threats to his advantage in dealing with other nations, especially America. Bush continues to let Saleh get away with the murder of 17 American sailors, and the oppression of democracy for fears that Al-Qeada will take over the country if he stops providing aid to Salehs dictatorship. Saleh has used his worthless promises to rid the country of Al-Qeada for years now in exchange for assistance from Bush. While just the opposite is taking place now. Al-Qeada's new chief in Yemen has ordered more attacks in Yemen, and more in the future. And it appears that Bin laden may be setting Yemen up for a new battleground, and a future stronghold for Al-Qaeda as well. Granted, all these problems are nothing new to Saleh.

Bush Refuses to Back Victims of Terror
The Palestinian Authority won a major legal battle against Ms. Aharon Ellis, another victim of terrorism in federal court last week. Her husband was brutally murdered by a Palestinian terrorist. A federal judge agreed to set aside a judgement of $200 million awarded to American victims of Palestinian terrorists attacks that a lower court had awarded.
The Palestinian government hopes that it can hide behind sympathetic American judges and politicians who care more about so called governments like the Palestinian Authority than they do their own citizens. The Palestinian Authority has been pleading with the Bush administration to help them win the court battle. Of course as so often happens in these type of cases our own politicians will publicly state how they support the rights of American Victims of Terrorist Attacks, while in reality they do absolutely nothing to help the victims.
The last article I wrote concerning Ms. Ellis's attempts to obtain some form of monetary justice is when I wished her good luck in actually getting anything from our courts. Historically, our own government has been, and continues to be the worst enemy of small groups of victims of terrorist attacks. Our presidents and politicians know that they can ignore our pleas for help, and get away it in most cases. Our elected leaders will often remain silent during these trials except to mouth the obligatory "Yes! We stand behind our citizens in their quest for justice!".While behind closed doors they make deals to ensure that the victims get the shaft. All for the sake of political expediency.
How refreshing it would be if our own government would apply even half the amount of energy it expends on protecting the Yemeni regime and the Palestinian Authority from their support of terrorism to putting that energy behind their own citizens efforts to obtain justice for the murders of their loved ones.
For decades now American leaders have been wrestling with the Palestinian and Israel conflict.Has that situation improved? No. As a matter of fact its deteriorated. And will continue to do so. It has to. Everyone knows that there is only two options for that problem. The first one is if Israel ceases to exist. And the second one is a continuation of what we have now. A constant state of war between Israel, and the factions that would destroy her as a nation. And all Israels enemies continue to grow in numbers, and strength with the passing of time.
I for one am disgusted at how our government caters to these thugs who call themselves civilized. And then our politicians will ignore our own citizens rights to justice so as not to offend these brutes. This past Saturday Condoleezza Rice embarked on yet another trip to Israel and Palestine to facilitate another round of Anger Management therapy between these two life long enemies. If there is one thing our government has not learned is the age old adage: "Keep doing the same thing over and over, and you will get the same results."Anybody remember old Peanut Carter blaring to the world back in seventies how "Peace is secured for the Middle East".Uh huh.
I can bet you good money that the issue of Ms. Ellis's lawsuit against the Palestinian Authority was one topic that President Mahmoud Abbas spoke to her about. And I can also bet that Ms Rice told him "not to worry" that your terrorist faction will not be bankrupted by that lawsuit.
And why can I make such a bold and incriminating statement against our own government you may wonder. Judge Marrero who set aside the award and will allow a new trial actually gave the Bush administration a chance to side with the American Victims and or the terrorists. Bushy chose the terrorists. All old Bush had to do was tell the judge that they supported "compensation for victims of terrorism." But that would have ticked off the Palestinian Authority. We can't have that now, can we? God forbid that our politicians take a stand for their own citizens, and do the right thing for once. They are more concerned that by protecting American citizens that it will anger the terrorists and keep peace from happening. What friking peace! These psychos could care less about peace. They want Israel the only true democracy in the Middle East demolished for good. So here we go again, applying another band-aid to the so called peace process. What a farce. But then again if there is one thing that our politicians excel at is doing nothing and just hoping that the problem will go away, or at the very least be stabilized until they can retire.
The Bush administration actually told the judge that lawsuits by victims of terrorist acts could harm the "financial and political viability" of the Palestinian Authority! Like if most Americans care if a bunch of terrorists lose money.
And to demonstrate my point in the futility of our government dealing with the Palestinian Authority for a lasting peace all one has to do is research how every terror loving fanatic in the Middle East is traveling to Palestine to set up camp. And you can bet that they are not going there for a camel barbecue, and a sing along.
Even Bin laden announced this past December that Palestine is the next big "Jihad Playground" for Al-Qaeda. He does not plan to really get engaged there until after the American elections.Excellent decision on his part. If we elect a democrat here in America half his work will be done for him. He is probably praying his heart out to Allah that we elect another Clinton. Can you blame him. He had free hunting during the Clinton years. Bin laden's is probably doing a little dance just at the thought of another spineless president like Clinton.
Al-Qaeda is now in the process of preparing for their arrival in force to Palestine by issuing instructions for Palestinians. Informing them on nifty little things such as how to make homemade bombs, training in the martial arts, and the teaching Palestinian youth the "fighting and scientific skills". Just to name a few things. Its not as if the Palestinians don't know how to kill innocent people. They have proven themselves very efficient at that skill. But now they will be getting help from another big time player. Plus they already have the backing of Iran, and Syria. So they are off to a good start as a fledgling nation that not only supports terrorism, but actively engages in terrorist acts as well.
And then we have our own politicians and some Americans that are doing everything in their power to ensure that they will continue on this path without any negative consequences. All for the false perception of peace between Israel and Palestine. While America victims of terrorists attacks are ignored, and treated with the utmost disrespect in their attempts to acquire some small measure of justice for their murdered loved ones.
Our government should be ashamed of itself. How our politicians can continue to protect thugs like the Palestinian Authority, and the corrupt Yemeni Regime is beyond me. Especially in lieu of the facts that the terrorists in the Middle East continue to make gains in just about every area.You would think that our government would at the very least take a more supportive stance for the victims here at home. But then again that is the right thing to do. And since when has our government put right before political expediency in dealing with small groups of victims?
How about never.
