Frank J on Best of the Web

James Taranto links to Frank J. Well deserved, but I like this better:


* The partial-birth abortion ban has passed the Senate and Bush said he will sign it. I'm against this. If you can't suck the brains out of baby's head, what rights do we have left?


* And Jeb Bush stopped Terri Schiavo from starving to death. It's a whole "not killing people" epidemic now.


Those dang Bush brothers. Can't make anyone happy. People complain when they kill people, and they complain when they save them.

LTG Boykin

I am late to the party on this, I know. Everyone is hyperventilating because there is a Christian in the Army. God forbid! At any rate, my thought is that if Saudi funded apologists for terror don't like the Defense Department's intelligence chief, that's a good thing. I mean, I bet the Germans didn't like Patton, either.


And love her or hate her, Ann Coulter gets it.

The banality of terror

The entry below talks about the terror probe of a network of Saudi charities based in Northern Virginia. I drove by and took a picture of the building the headquarters for the organizations was housed in - apparently gone now:

Not a fortress of doom - just a standard issue suburban office building. About a mile away from what used to be the building for Network Solutions, and near a bunch of other tech companies.

Infiltration

It isn't just the military at Guantanamo that has been infiltrated. It is much bigger than that. The Washington Post story about the Saudi "charities" here in Northern Virginia (first spotted it on Instapundit) made me take a few quick tours of the web. First of all, the addresses of these places from Mapquest (address not actually given in the post article, but easy enough to find). The Safa and SAAR office is less than 7 miles from where I am now sitting. Also among the organizations targeted are the Sterling Management Group, which apparently does a lot of things. Among those things is investments. Looks like they created funds to invest and make money. Could be legit business or money laundering or trying to make money for terrorists. Who knows? At any rate, one of the investments is in Lynuxworks. It appears that it must just be an investment, as there are no Sterling Management people on the board or in the management of Lynuxworks. Which is good, because look at the business Lynuxworks touts - Homeland Security and Defense applications.


That might actually be news. Glenn wrote, "The big news isn't that Saudis are funding terror, which has been obvious for a long time. It's that here -- and with the FBI story from yesterday -- the U.S. government is admitting it." Not exactly - all of these organizations had been targeted by Operation Greenquest in early 2002. This seems to be the results of Greenquest. Another Greenquest target was Ptech, a company raided by the FBI last December. On the board of Ptech was the CEO of Sterling Management Group. I don't think the story is that the government is just admitting it - I think the story is the scope. This could be huge.


Oh, and I guess Mar-Jac Poultry's libel lawsuit isn't going anywhere....
