I don’t even care about a trial – just hang this oath-breaking physician with a bacon-grease saturated rope and leave his putrifying corpse to be consumed by dogs. These actions violate every notion of international law and human decency. He merits no better treatment than that which he gave to the patients he murdered in the name of his foul religion

When policemen, soldiers and officials in Kirkuk who were injured in insurgent attacks arrived in the emergency room of the hospital, they hoped their chances of surviving had gone up as doctors tended their wounds.

In fact, many of the wounded were almost certain to die because one of the doctors at the Republic Hospital was a member of an insurgent cell. Pretending to treat the injured men, he killed 43 of them by secretly administering lethal injections, a police inquiry has revealed.

"He was called Dr Louay and when the terrorists had failed to kill a policeman or a soldier he would finish them off," Colonel Yadgar Shukir Abdullah Jaff, a senior Kirkuk police chief, told The Independent. "He gave them a high dosage of a medicine which increased their bleeding so they died from loss of blood."

Dr Louay carried out his murder campaign over an eight to nine-month period, say police. He appeared to be a hard working assistant doctor who selflessly made himself available for work in any part of the hospital, which is the largest in Kirkuk.

He was particularly willing to assist in the emergency room. With 272 soldiers, policemen and civilians killed and 1,220 injured in insurgent attacks in Kirkuk in 2005, the doctors were rushed off their feet and glad of any help they could get. Nobody noticed how many patients were dying soon after being tended by their enthusiastic young colleague.

Dr Louay was finally arrested only after the leader of the cell to which he belonged, named Malla Yassin, was captured and confessed. "I was really shocked that a doctor and an educated men should do such a thing," said Col Jaff.

Such behavior is beyond the bounds of what civilized people can accept. Time to send Dr. Louay on the express-train for Hell, there to join Muhammad and the Father of Lies (AKA Allah).

UPDATE: The Washington Post has an article about this sick, twisted individual today.

"I injected more than 35 policeman and soldiers, including officers and some who were slightly injured," the doctor, identified by a Kurdish security official as Luay Omar Taie, said in the taped statement. "I used to stop the breathing machines or cut the electricity in the operations room or reopen the wounds."

* * *

In Kirkuk, the arrest of the doctor, first reported by the Independent newspaper in London, followed arrests beginning two months ago of various members of a criminal gang with links to Ansar al-Sunna that had kidnapped more than 150 people and executed 18 of them, the PUK intelligence official said. Other arrests of insurgents followed.

During interrogations, the insurgents were asked who gave them medical treatment, and they identified Taie, the official said. He said the organization selected Taie because he was young and wanted money.

In the statement aired on Kurdish television, the doctor said that he was paid up to $100 for each operation in which he participated. He asserted responsibility for killing the assistant police chief in Kirkuk, Gen. Ajman Abdullah, with a fatal injection, and the general's brother, a soldier who was admitted to the hospital after being injured by a roadside bomb.

The doctor said he helped an insurgent escape from the hospital. The intelligence officials said that Taie also advised insurgents how to forge documents to claim one of their members was shot by U.S. forces, so that he could be treated at a hospital in Mosul, about 100 miles away.

This disgusting creature needs to be rendered DEAD in the fashion most repugnant to Muslims, to make it clear that such crimes against humanity will not be tolerated.

A California surgeon has demonstrated that he places greater value on the lives of animals than he does on the lives of human beings, calling for the murder of medical researchers and other scientists whose work includes the use of animals as test subjects.

Dr. Jerry Vlasak is a trauma surgeon who is certified by The American Board of Surgery and is also listed as a Fellow in the American College of Surgeons. Vlasak is also an outspoken animal rights activist who has, in an interview published this month, repeated his view that killing animal researchers is an acceptable way to stop animal experiments.

In the March 2006 issue of Abolitionist-Online, Vlasak is quoted as saying "Killing an animal abuser, who is not an innocent bystander, is morally defensible, and if they had the power to do so, animals would do it."

Vlasak compares killing of animal researchers to stop animal experimentation to "the killing of Nazi concentration camp guards and officers to free the prisoners being taken to the gas chambers." He suggests that such actions, "most likely would have made the next crop of soldiers less likely to volunteer for duty."

"So yes, I think the threat of violence would save lives, innocent lives. I'm sorry to say its true," says Vlasak.

He proposes, researchers should be allowed to cease and desist peacefully prior to being violently forced. "All animal abusers should be politely asked to stop killing animals in their work and explain to them the scientific fraud in animal experimentation, as I was. If they refuse, they should be told to stop immediately, or suffer the consequences. If they still refuse, then they should be stopped by whatever means necessary. I would hope they would stop the torture and killing when asked, but I suspect some would not."

This man is clearly unfit to practice medicine. If he is willing to advocate for the killing of those with whom he disagrees on this philosophical point, how can we be certain that he will not show equal disregard for human life in the performance of his duties.

Contact the following to urge the suspension of Dr. Vlasak for this unprofessional conduct in violation of the Hippocratic Oath.

If those on the Left actually believe in the rule of law and the importance of court precedent, they would be condemning Russ Feingold and other mentally-ill sufferers of Bush Derangement Syndrome for insisting that the President be censured for taking actions that courts have consistently ruled are within the scope of his constitutional authority.

Byron York points to the case – decided by the FISA Court of Review – that settles the question of presidential authority on the matter. No, not the Truong case, but a little matter known as In re: Sealed Case. The details of the case itself are not known, but the decision regarding presidential authority to engage in warrantless searches and surveillance is.

In its opinion, the Court of Review said the FISA Court had, in effect, attempted to unilaterally impose the old 1995 rules. "In doing so, the FISA Court erred," the ruling read. "It did not provide any constitutional basis for its action — we think there is none — and misconstrued the main statutory provision on which it relied." The FISA Court, according to the ruling, "refus[ed] to consider the legal significance of the Patriot Act's crucial amendments" and "may well have exceeded the constitutional bounds" governing the courts by asserting "authority to govern the internal organization and investigative procedures of the Department of Justice."

And then the Court of Review did one more thing, something that has repercussions in today's surveillance controversy. Not only could the FISA Court not tell the president how do to his work, the Court of Review said, but the president also had the "inherent authority" under the Constitution to conduct needed surveillance without obtaining any warrant — from the FISA Court or anyone else. Referring to an earlier case, known as Truong, which dealt with surveillance before FISA was passed, the Court of Review wrote: "The Truong court, as did all the other courts to have decided the issue, held that the President did have inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches to obtain foreign intelligence information. . . . We take for granted that the President does have that authority and, assuming that is so, FISA could not encroach on the President's constitutional power."

It was a clear and sweeping statement of executive authority. And what was most likely not known to the Court of Review at the time was that the administration had, in 2002, started a program in which it did exactly what the Court of Review said it had the power to do: order the surveillance of some international communications without a warrant.

The Left demands that FISA be followed. This decision makes it clear that the surveillance problem illegally disclosed by James Risen and the New York Times (a crime for which they can and should be prosecuted) is itself legal due to authority granted to the president by the Constitution of the United States. The Supreme Court chose not to review the case, allowing the decision of the FISA Court of Review (the functional equivalent of a US Circuit Court of Appeals) to stand. It is therefore incontrovertible that George W. Bush has the same power exercised by Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Harry Truman, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and other presidents dating back to the founding of the Republic.
To use a phrase that was a mantra for the Left during the Roberts and Alito hearings, that position is Settled Law. Now let the President do his job and quit giving aid and comfort to our enemies by interfering with attempts to keep this country safe.

Here’s more from the homicidal Muslim SOB who ran down a bunch of students at UNC a couple of weeks ago. He’s written to one of the local television stations to provide his side of the story – and they have posted his words on their website.

"Allah gives permission in the Koran for the followers of Allah to attack those who have raged war against them, with the expectation of eternal paradise in case of martyrdom and/or living one's life in obedience of all of Allah's commandments found throughout the Koran's 114 chapters..."
"The U.S. government is responsible for the deaths of and the torture of countless followers of Allah, my brothers and sisters. My attack on Americans at UNC-CH on March 3rd was in retaliation for similar attacks orchestrated by the U.S. government on my fellow followers of Allah in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, and other Islamic territories. I did not act out of hatred for Americans, but out of love for Allah instead. "

What we have here is a confession of guilt – terrorism on the basis of his Islamist beliefs. It is time for all major media to refer to this whoreson bastard as a terrorist. It is time for the government to treat him as such.

He says he acted out of love. We should do the same.

Because we love our country and our fellow citizens, this guy should be executed via firing squad on national television – forced to stand with his feet in a bucket of bacon grease.

Gee, I wonder what the Left will make of this?

Audiotapes of Saddam Hussein and his aides underscore the Bush administration's argument that Baghdad was determined to rebuild its arsenal of weapons of mass destruction once the international community had tired of inspections and left the Iraqi dictator alone.

In addition to the captured tapes, U.S. officials are analyzing thousands of pages of newly translated Iraqi documents that tell of Saddam seeking uranium from Africa in the mid-1990s.

The documents also speak of burying prohibited missiles, according to a government official familiar with the declassification process.

But it is not clear whether Baghdad did what the documents indicate, said the U.S. official, who asked not to be named.

"The factories are present," an Iraqi aide tells Saddam on one of the tapes, made by the dictator in the mid-1990s while U.N. weapons inspectors were searching for Baghdad's remaining stocks of weapons of mass destruction.

"The factories remain, in the mind they remain. Our spirit is with us, based solely on the time period," the aide says, according to the documents. "And [inspectors] take note of the time period, they can't account for our will."

The quote is from roughly 12 hours of taped conversations that unexpectedly landed in the lap of Bill Tierney, a former Army warrant officer and Arabic speaker who was translating for the FBI tapes unearthed in Iraq after the invasion.

Mr. Tierney made a copy, which he provided to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The committee in turn gave a copy to intelligence analysts who authenticated the voice as that of Saddam.

Mr. Tierney said that the quote from the Saddam aide, and scores of others, show Saddam was rebuilding his once-ample weapons stocks.

"The tapes show that Saddam rebuilt his program and successfully prevented the U.N. from finding out about it," he said.

There also exists a quote from the dictator himself, who ordered the tapings to keep a record of his inner-sanctum discussions, that Mr. Tierney thinks shows Saddam planned to use a proxy to attack the United States.

"Terrorism is coming ... with the Americans," Saddam said. "With the Americans, two years ago, not a long while ago, with the English I believe, there was a campaign ... with one of them, that in the future there would be terrorism with weapons of mass destruction."

This does sort of upset the applecart, doesnÂ’t it?

I cannot bring myself to weep over the murder of Tom Fox by the forces of terror in Iraq. Instead, I rejoice.

Some of you might find this statement shocking. If you do, I hope you read to the end of this post for an explanation.

Tom Fox, the Virginia peace activist who was taken hostage last year in Iraq, has been found dead, a State Department spokesman said last night. The FBI verified that a body found in Baghdad on Thursday morning was that of Fox, according to the State Department. It was not immediately clear last night when he had been killed or how. Nothing was said immediately about the circumstances leading to the discovery of the body.

Concern for Fox, a 54-year-old resident of Clear Brook, Va., who was kidnapped in November, had risen this week after he was not seen in the broadcast of a video of three fellow kidnapped Christian peace activists.

On Tuesday, al-Jazeera television aired the footage of the three other activists purportedly appealing to their governments to secure their release. A January video, in which Fox had appeared, said all the captives would die unless U.S. and Iraqi authorities released all prisoners held in Iraq.

Noel Clay, a State Department spokesman, said he had no information on the three other hostages. Clay said that "additional forensics" on Fox's body "will be done in the United States."

Fox disappeared Nov. 26 in Baghdad, along with Norman Kember, 74, of Britain, and James Loney, 41, and Harmeet Singh Sooden, 32, both of Canada. The four worked with Christian Peacemaker Teams, a Toronto- and Chicago-based group that opposes the Iraq war and has criticized treatment of detainees in U.S. and Iraqi jails.

All four had appeared in two earlier videos released by their captors, a little-known group called the Swords of Righteousness Brigade. The group has accused the four of spying for Western governments.

In Baghdad, a U.S. military spokesman, Lt. Col. Barry Johnson, said early Saturday that he had no information on the discovery.

Tom Fox was a Christian -- a Quaker who lived out the pacifism his reading of the Bible called upon him to live. He saw himself called to spread a message of peace and reconciliation. I admire that in him, even as I disagree with the belief that such radical pacifism is the proper response in the face of an implaccably violent foe. But Tom Fox was consistent with his beliefs.

Fox had recognized that his peace activities entailed possible danger. He had left instructions as to what should be done if he was kidnapped. "Under no circumstances did he want any violent efforts to rescue him," Maulden said.

Again, there is something to be admired in such a response to danger met in the service of Christ. It is similar to the Franciscan ethic in the Catholic tradition. I admire it, even as I do not believe myself called to it. I respect the commitment to non-violence that Tom Fox had, even though I reject the wishy-washy leftist view that it is the US and Britain who are responsible for the violence in Iraq, not the deposed dictator or the outside forces of terror who have flooded the country in an effort to sow murder, violence, and anarchy.

Ultimately, Tom Fox laid down his life as an example for his fellow man out of what I believe to be a profund and sincere commitment to Christ. In my book that qualifies as martyrdom, every bit as much as the deaths of those who died in the Colosseum nearly two millenia ago. And so I cannot bring myself to feel more than a passing sadness at his death, for I believe that the words of Christ to the Good Thief have also been spoken to Tom Fox -- "This day you will be with Me in Paradise."

How, then, can I do other than rejoice in the great reward that awaited Tom Fox as he passed from this world of tears into the eternal joy that is life eternal in the presence of our Heavenly Father?

It is my prayer that the martyrdom of Tom Fox speaks loudly to those who would otherwise take up the murderous false martyrdom urged on believers of Islam.

Has Iran committed an act of war against the US by supplying the Iraqi terrorists with weapons to attack American troops -- including specially designed bombs with the ability to pierce American armor?

U.S. military and intelligence officials tell ABC News that they have caught shipments of deadly new bombs at the Iran-Iraq border.

They are a very nasty piece of business, capable of penetrating U.S. troops' strongest armor.

What the United States says links them to Iran are tell-tale manufacturing signatures — certain types of machine-shop welds and material indicating they are built by the same bomb factory.

"The signature is the same because they are exactly the same in production," says explosives expert Kevin Barry. "So it's the same make and model."

U.S. officials say roadside bomb attacks against American forces in Iraq have become much more deadly as more and more of the Iran-designed and Iran-produced bombs have been smuggled in from the country since last October.

"I think the evidence is strong that the Iranian government is making these IEDs, and the Iranian government is sending them across the border and they are killing U.S. troops once they get there," says Richard Clarke, former White House counterterrorism chief and an ABC News consultant. "I think it's very hard to escape the conclusion that, in all probability, the Iranian government is knowingly killing U.S. troops."

Screw their nuclear program -- if this is actually the case, then the Iranians are engaged in intentional acts against American military personnel. Time to take action.

But what else can you call this?

A University of North Carolina graduate from Iran, accused of running down nine people on campus to avenge the treatment of Muslims, said at a hearing Monday that he was "thankful for the opportunity to spread the will of Allah."

Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar was accused of driving a sport-utility vehicle through the Pit, a popular campus gathering spot, injuring nine people Friday. None of the victims was seriously hurt.

University Police Chief Derek Poarch said Taheri-azar told investigators he intentionally hit people to "avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world." In a 911 call after the incident, Taheri-azar said he wanted to "punish the government of the United States for their actions around the world."

Taheri-azar, 22, appeared in Orange County District Court on nine counts of attempted murder and nine counts of assault.

His bail was set at $5.5 million and he was assigned a public defender, but he said after the hearing: "The truth is my lawyer."

And the truth is that we have had a low-grade Islamic terrorist attack on an American college campus, but no one wants to call it terrorism.

Well, that isn't quite true -- no one in an official capacity wants to call it terrorism. Students at UNC are not so hesitant.

On campus, UNC students held what they called an "anti-terrorism" rally. "We don't want terrorism here, and we're not going to stand for that where we live and where we go to school," said Kris Wampler, a student at UNC and member of the College Republicans, which helped organize the rally.

About 50 students attended the rally, including several Muslim students who debated with organizers and said Taheri-azar had not been linked to any terrorist group.

One Muslim student tried to discount the connection to terrorism.

"When you think in terms of a global context, this was an isolated incident," said student Khurram Bilal Tariq, 22.

While that is true, that does not meant that we are dealing with a terrorist attack -- just that we are dealing with a terrorist attack. It simply means that we are dealing with someone who is engaging in terrorism independent of the larger groups. UNC student Stephen Mann put it well.

"If you try to hurt someone in the name of a cause, that's terrorism," he said.

While I might polish that statement just a little bit, I think he is essenially correct.

I've never denied the existance of good, decent, patriotic Muslims. I'm glad to read this story, and I hope there are many more like this in the weeks and months to come.

Holy Toledo, we have terrorists in Ohio. But here's the good news: They were caught before they could blow up anyone because the FBI got a phone tip - from someone in the Islamic community.

That's right - the same American Islamic community that has been scorched for failing to condemn terrorism now gets credit for reporting three alleged terrorists in Toledo.

The FBI indicted Mohammad Zaki Amawi, Marwan Othman El-Hindi and Wassim Mazloum on charges of plotting to use improvised explosive devices to kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq. Amawi also was charged with threatening to kill the president. They pleaded not guilty.

* * *

Morckel said many details cannot be revealed about the investigation or the phone tip that led to the latest arrests. "But if you look at the London bombings, people in their community knew about the men who did that and didn't report anything."

Toledo is a different story. It has a large Muslim population that has been part of the city even longer than the Toledo mosque has been a landmark beside Interstate 75. So long that many think of themselves as Americans first.

Some have sons serving in Iraq, who could be killed or maimed by bombs from Toledo. "We are harming ourselves," imam Farooq Aboelzahab told the Los Angeles Times.

In that same story about Toledo Muslims, Dorothy Mehki said, "I don't want a whole yard full of flags in our yard to prove that we are Americans. That is silly. There are good Americans, and there are bad Americans."

True. And some of the best are American Muslims.

Most Muslims in this country are decent people. Most are highly moral individuals. I may have little respect for their religion, but I have great respect for them as human beings.

And I hope we see a lot more of them dropping a dime on the terrorists in their midst.

Well, here's another fellow who has eaten the fruit of Mohammad's poisonous tree.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Authorities say 23-year-old Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar drove a silver Jeep Grand Cherokee into The Pit at the UNC-Chapel Hill campus around noon Friday, injuring five students and a visiting scholar.

Police intend tocharge Taheri-azar, who graduated from UNC in 2005, with nine counts of attempted murder and nine counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, said Capt. George Hare of the UNC Department of Public Safety.

The FBI joined the case because Taheri-azar, a native of Iran, "allegedly made statements that he acted to avenge the American treatment of Muslims. The ongoing investigation will work to confirm this," said Special Agent Richard Kolko, an FBI spokesman in Washington.

Six people were taken to UNC Hospitals with minor injuries, hospital spokesman Tom Hughes said. Five had been treated and released late Thursday afternoon, while one person was still undergoing treatment but was not expected to be admitted. Three other people declined treatment on the scene, according to police.

Authorities later found the vehicle on Plant Road near Franklin Street and Taheri-azar was taken into custody. Authorities said that drugs and alcohol are not believed to have been involved.

A student who witnessed the event, said that the SUV was going between 40 and 45 mph when it hit the students at the Pit, which is located in an open area surrounded by two libraries, a dining hall and the Frank Porter Graham Student Union on campus.

We have a confession from an admitted terrorist. Let's get him to a military tribunal immediately.
