KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An American jailed in Afghanistan on charges of torturing terrorists in a makeshift jail was freed Sunday two months before his two-year sentence ended and whisked out of the country under heavy U.S. security.

Caraballo maintains the American government authorized the jail, which was run by a former U.S. soldier, Jonathan "Jack" Idema, and another man, Brent Bennett. U.S. authorities have repeatedly denied the claims and said the prison was part of an unauthorized hunt for terrorists.

Jack Idema : former S.F., who was fired from a few S.F. teams for being trouble and over the top—left S.F. after failed team tours.  Idema, man of many defunct business ventures since his days in S.F., is a con man who put American S.F. troops in Afghanistan in direct danger in his quest for fame and a good story.

He is a whack-job who was running his own concentration camp.

  He is a liar.

KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) — A body found in Afghanistan has been identified as that of an Indian telecommunications engineer who was kidnapped earlier in the week by Taliban members, a regional police chief said.

A statement from the Taliban demanded that all Indian workers leave Afghanistan within 24 hours or the hostage would be killed.

After the body was found, a Taliban spokesman said the group had not planned to kill the hostage but when he tried to escape, they shot him.

Police Chief Mohammed Nabeel Malahkili said the body discovered in Zabol province on Sunday had been beheaded.

The promoter of the pageant is Lwazi Mbowa. She felt that there was no place for swimwear in a contest that challenges perceptions of beauty.

"This is about the true beauty of Africa," she says. "Big women are for chiefs and kings, and we can’t expose chiefs’ items in public, so swimwear is completely out."

The winner was 21-year-old student Nobesuthu Sibanda. She comes from the second biggest city of Bulawayo. She was not given a glitzy tiara, but a crown of goatskin and beads, a sisal jar and a mukombe, a wooden ladle used for drinking water.

Bomb squad destroys news box playing ‘Mission: Impossible III’ theme.

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - A newspaper promotion for Tom Cruise’s upcoming “Mission: Impossible III” got off to an explosive start when a county arson squad blew up a news rack, thinking it contained a bomb.

The confusion: the Los Angeles Times rack was fitted with a digital musical device designed to play the “Mission: Impossible” theme song when the door was opened. But in some cases, the red plastic boxes with protruding wires were jarred loose and dropped onto the stack of newspapers inside, alarming customers.

This is the text of an e-mail message from Duke University President Richard H. Brodhead that went to all Duke students Friday. According to Duke’s news office, the e-mail also went to faculty, staff and the parents of undergraduates:

"As you may know, we learned from reports in the news media last evening that an organization known as the New Black Panther Party had announced that it plans to hold a demonstration at the Chapel Drive entrance to West Campus on Monday morning, May 1. These reports indicated the group intended to enter the campus and that they may be carrying guns. Guns are not permitted on Duke’s campus.

 Excerpts:

Last month, speaking at the Army War College, Donald Rumsfeld said, "If I were grading, I would say we probably deserve a ‘D’ or a ‘D-plus’ as a country as to how well we’re doing in the battle of ideas that’s taking place in the world."

The problem isn’t so much, as Rumsfeld claimed in another recent speech, that Bin Laden and al-Qaida spread their ideas through mass media more skillfully than we do. The problem is that to the rest of the world, we appear to have no ideas at all.

Juan Cole, a blogger and professor of Middle Eastern history at the University of Michigan, has come up with an intriguing idea for how to fill this gap. He wants to hire skilled linguists to translate into Arabic the classic works of American political thought—especially those works that deal with freedom of religion, division of powers, sovereignty of the people, and equal rights. He has in mind the essays and speeches of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Tom Paine, Benjamin Franklin, Martin Luther King Jr., and Susan B. Anthony; a solid history of American Jews and other minority groups; maybe a few good books, written by American historians, about Iraq. Cole also wants to subsidize Middle Eastern publishers to print these books in large numbers and at low prices, and he wants to pay fees to book dealers throughout the region—just as publishers pay Borders and Barnes & Noble here—to display the books prominently.

The anti-American MSM not only in America but the rest of the world, continuously adds to the negative view of America. It’s going to take more than a few dozen translated books to change peoples minds. Perhaps they need to work on changing/educating the MSM’s mind-set instead.

From TerroristWarning.com:

May 1st 2006, Civil War Begins

On May 1st 2006 The "Great American Boycott" also known as the "Day without immigrants" is scheduled to occur. Participant’s stated goals are a general strike, No Work, No School, No Sales, and No Buying. These people want to shut down individual cities, all across the nation, thereby impacting the country as a whole.

Make no mistake about it, this is not just simple protesting, protesting with the goal of causing financial harm is Economic Terrorism plain and simple - and those people who participate are economic terrorists.

By shutting down certain cities, or even portions of cities, these protestors will be :

• Keeping children out of school,
• Hampering the abilities of local law enforcement to enforce the law,
• Hampering the abilities of first responders to respond to car accidents, fires, people having heart attacks, and hampering their ability to transport them to the hospital.
• Hampering the abilities of local mass transit systems to operate properly.
• Causing financial harm to local businesses iregardless of whether or not those businesses have harmed them, resulting in a nationwide economic impact.
• Advocating the breaking  of our laws by demanding, yes demanding, that illegal immigrants be given amnesty.

ter·ror·ism - "The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons." - American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition

How can you fight back?

Ensure that your children go to school, and stay there on this day.
Purposely go and buy products and services in those cities affected by the protestors - gas up your car, go see a movie, go grocery shopping, buy a little more than you would have any other day. Counter their ‘protest’ with a positive economic impact in those areas affected.
Perhaps you might also consider making a donation to those organizations seeking to secure our borders on this day as well.  Show these terrorists that you can and will fight back!

While the current situation is one of mass irresponsible action, causing financial harm across the nation, it will inevitably escalate into violence and deaths if these sorts of activities continue.

Does this constitute a civil war? Perhaps not yet, but its clearly heading in that direction, this may just be the first battle.

Watch Lou Dobbs on a Declaration of War Lous Dobbs had the courage to tell this sorry bastard that all these illegals didn’t have the courage to fix their own corrupt government in Mexico and are now illegally in America demanding shit.  That fact that they can openly protest on American streets waving Mexican flags, placards with "This is Our Land and Go Home Gringo" means they not only have amnesty–they’ve won.

KUWAIT(Army News Service, April 29, 2006) – Life can go down many avenues. For then-Specialist Fourth Class Gordon Roberts, the roads treaded deep into Vietnam’s Thua Thien Province, testing his every attribute that would win him a spot in military history.

Roberts, a native of Lebanon, Ohio, joined the Army three days after graduating from high school, a natural step for someone from a military family growing up in a small, patriotic town.

At the age of 17, he was an Army infantryman.

INDIANAPOLIS – An editorial in the Ben Davis High School newspaper caused controversy and led to some minor unrest at the school Friday. The opinion, written by students, denounced illegal Hispanic immigration and the nationwide walkout scheduled for Monday.

The editorial, titled "Migrant Slack-Off Day Also Known As May 1" takes up almost an entire page of the paper. It is unsigned and reflects the views of a student editorial board, 6News’ Jeremy Brilliant reported.

Some students told 6News there were fights in the hallways and verbal confrontation — including racial slurs — after copies of Spotlight were handed out.

"It was disrespectful kind of, and I figured at school, that would never happen, but I guess it can happen anywhere," said Ben Davis junior Charles Allen.

"It wouldn’t be fair if they turned the tables and did that to the other people, so it just wasn’t fair," said senior Daren Vicknair.

In the column, students wrote: "Illegal immigrants are doing nothing but breaking our laws."

Another portion of the editorial read" "If these Illegal aliens think they are making a difference in our society, they have another thing coming," alongside a caution road sign picture depicting a man, woman and child running.

"That was rude. They shouldn’t have put that on there in the first place. That’s basically saying, ‘Caution, watch out for the Hispanics,’" said junior Melissa Rodriguez.

A journalism advisor approved the piece. Wayne Township Schools spokesman Tom Langdoc advocated a point-counterpoint type of editorial for future papers.

Student Alfredo Camacho, who was born in the United States to Mexican parents, said he was personally offended.

"(It’s) like saying, ‘We don’t want you in our school.’ We’re all there to get an education and it just kind of makes you not want to go," Camacho said.

School administrators did not endorse the editorial, but said they do agree with at least one part, which asked students to come to school Monday instead of taking the day off. 

We fail to see where the student writers in posting “national slack off day” (May 1^st) did anything wrong. This would be their opinion which they are allowed. Or “illegal immigrants are breaking our laws”–which would be the truth.  At any rate, we’re sure the students will receive sensitivity training as to not offend the illegal aliens in the future.

Hezbollah’s deadly network isn’t limited to the Middle East. In fact, in the past 20 years Hezbollah has created an extensive web of operations within the United States itself – a sophisticated terror network better established here than any other terrorist organization in the world. The network is organized and directed by Hezbollah’s Special Security Apparatus, the group’s international terror unit.

According to Tom Diaz and Barbara Newman, co-authors of the recently published book, Lightning Out of Lebanon: Hezbollah Terrorists on American Soil (Presidio Press, 2005), active Hezbollah cells have been identified in Boston, New York, Newark, Atlanta, Miami, Tampa, Charlotte, Louisville, Detroit, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland. Diaz and Newman quote former FBI Hezbollah unit director, Bob Clifford, as saying, “they are the best light infantry in the world and can strike the United States anytime, anywhere.”
