Flight 297

December 4, 2009 islamoyankee

Unfortunately, it’s not a sequel to the great track Flight IC 408 by State of Bengal. It’s a horrid fantasy by a testosterone challenged man who wants everyone to think he has no fear. What his adolescent daydream reveals is quite the opposite: he is a coward who wants to be a hero. To quote Atrios: “The stupid, it burns.”

Where is Osama?

I was recently called to task, and rightly so, for not being specific about failed DOJ cases, and few come to mind: Yaser Hamdi (I seem to recall that a US citizen cannot be coerced by the gov’t into giving up his citizenship, and it strikes me that’s what happened here…. Detroit Sleeper Cell Brandon Mayfield (2, 3) James Yee (2) (Yes, I know this isn’t a DOJ case, but I’m working to establish a larger pattern in the gov’t in general) Terrorism Cases That Weren’t (but it doesn’t mean they weren’t guilty of something) Lackawanna Six (2, 3) Portland Seven José Padilla’s case is still pending, but I don’t know how much traction the gov’t will get with him.

Two political movies
