HOW JEOPARDIZED IS OUR NATIONAL SECURITY?
A great IBA post, by our friend Always on Watch, from Astute Bloggers:

Last night, blogger Z! attended a gathering at which the speakers were Liz Cheney and Debra Burlingame.

What Z has to say about what she learned with regard to how our national security is being jeopardized by BHO is a must-read!

One excerpt:
[Debra Burlingame] met with Obama regarding Gitmo and she reminded him how he'd once said how safe and good for prisoners it was there and she added that it would help if he'd elaborate on that and remind Americans of that fact. She said he simply "shrugged" and took the next question....

[...]

Debra Burlingame flashed on a screen a flier Gitmo detainees got for months....it was in Arabic and told how CRUEL and INHUMAN their treatment was there and gave ways to get out of having to answer interrogators, lies to use, etc etc. This was published by American attorneys....

Pastorius, thank you so much. I have listed two links in my comments section for articles we were passed last night at the dinner...I'll link them here so it's easier than going to my place and searching through the comments section:

Burlingame info:

Cheney info:

The links fill in the details on what we heard....of course, hearing them speak and taking questions so eagerly and answering them so well was quite an experience.

Thank you, Z.

Pastorius,
FYI....

I meant to cue this up for cross-posting at IBA and forgot. A bit of a kitchen-sink plumbing crisis here this morning! **sigh**

Pastorius said...

Oh, you got my hint, then.

;-)

Remember, gents, the ones who will crawl under the sink are the ones you want to hang on to. . .

Pastorius,
I did get your hint. I know you fairly well, huh?

Thank God the problem with the sink was easily repaired by my cousin-in-law and I didn't have to call the plumber. The cousin-in-law does minor repairs for free.
