The Iraqi Willie Horton

Galley Slaves, a blog run by the Weekly Standard's editors, tells us more about one of the Jordanian bombers: He'd been detained on suspicion of terrorist activities by US forces in Iraq, and then released due to a lack of compelling evidence.

Without knowing more about the circumstances of his detention and release, I'm not going to throw too many stones. We have a finite amount of jail space, interrogators, etc. It doesn't do us any good to lock up people and hold them indefinitely without cause, and it doesn't win us any friends. On the other hand, I have to agree with the Slaves:

Maybe requiring our military to meet the full burden of U.S. law when it comes to detaining terrorists isn't the best idea.

While you're over there, check out their post on the incompetent MSM hitjob on CS Lewis. Teaser--he smoked many cigarettes! He had sex once! Possibly with his wife, I can't tell!

It's hilarious how the intelligentsia try to manipulate Christians based upon their own warped understanding of them, no doubt derived from their own hilarious propaganda.
