But you’d never know it. A cursory glance at technorati search results have our marines convicted in the Haditha incident, even before the results are in.

In the meantime, we have this story from Lt. Col. Gordon Cucullu, “Attack at Gitmo”, up at Frontpage Magazine, describing a horrifying situation between guards and detainees at Gitmo where the detainees who are the least confined and restricted, the most ‘compliant’ decided to attempt a murder of a guard. This happened, interestingly enough, just a few days ago–if I’m understanding this correctly, on June 1st. Update: This happened in May. So why didn’t the MSM report it and where are the pictures of the bloody guard covered in excrement from the jiz the terrorists threw on the floor? Where’s the spread in the NYT?

He describes the cell blocks, and the conditions under which these detainees were living, some apparent ‘overdoses’ of medication within the minimum security area, and finally, a terrorist attack on a guard. The horrendous circumstances are unimaginable:

At about 1800 hours, May 18, Zulu block exploded. Detainees smashed the iron floor fan that circulates air inside the bay, ripping it apart to make weapons. One detainee grabbed the pole that had held the fan in position and began to swing it wildly, deliberately smashing overhead security cameras inside the bay. The other detainees immediately threw feces, urine, and small objects at the guard watching them in his booth behind the wire mesh. With noxious material flying through the wire mesh he withdrew to a point where he could observe the disturbance and not be excessively hit.

Outside the alarm sounded. From all over Camp Delta officers, NCOs, and soldiers ran to assist at Camp IV. Inside the camp the door accessing Bay 1, Zulu Block was locked electronically. Meanwhile, many other detainees in Zulu began to join with their “brothers” in Bay 1. The QRF replaced Navy guards and positioned itself outside of the door. At that critical moment the beleaguered observer outside Bay 1 then called a “Snowflake” alert. Snowflake is a code word for a possible detainee suicide. The observer had seen a detainee fashion a noose from clothing and act as if he were going to hang himself.

Read the rest over at Frontpage. I went to Lt. Col. Gordon Cucullu’s website, you can sign up to get his weekly newsletter called “The Right Approach”.

Another terrorist incident that caught my eye was the news that in Canada, a bunch of terrorists were nabbed, and although Canada is another bastion of political correctness, notice the names:

1. Fahim Ahmad, 21, Toronto;
2. Zakaria Amara, 20, Mississauga, Ont.;
3. Asad Ansari, 21, Mississauga;
4. Shareef Abdelhaleen, 30, Mississauga;
5. Qayyum Abdul Jamal, 43, Mississauga;
6. Mohammed Dirie, 22, Kingston, Ont.;
7. Yasim Abdi Mohamed, 24, Kingston;
8. Jahmaal James, 23, Toronto;
9. Amin Mohamed Durrani, 19, Toronto;
10. Steven Vikash Chand alias Abdul Shakur, 25, Toronto;
11. Ahmad Mustafa Ghany, 21, Mississauga;
12. Saad Khalid, 19, of Eclipse Avenue, Mississauga.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police held a press briefing describing the suspects who appeared in court–all suspiciously wearing traditional Muslim male beards and requesting Korans–as coming from a “broad strata” of society.

Riehl View talks about the fact that these terrorist suspects are connected with some others here in the US, in Atlanta, Georgia.

And here, at Sweetness and Light, it’s pointed out that the Saudi-owned al-Reuters choses a very interesting misleading title for the article that accompanies this picture:

The title they chose was: “Students “executed” as Iraq violence rages on”. But when you read the article, it comes out that the men crying in this photograph are crying over their brother’s death at the hands of sunni terrorists. The title should have contained some of this information: Sunni terrorists murdered 24 Shiites in Iraq–some of them teenagers.

There is more…the story of the terrorist doctor…which I can hardly even imagine. This is the horrendous story of a doctor who sympathized with insurgents, and made sure that people would die who might have lived; when their injuries were not even life threatening. He is known as ‘doctor death’ and didn’t think he would ever be apprehended. He even went so far as to prepare a lethal cocktail of drugs to deliver to convalescing soldiers and Iraqi police, etc.-to kill them. That is the epitome of ‘cold blooded murder’.

And there’s another story of terrorists dragging what’s presumed to be the burned body of an American (although we do not know) helicopter pilot through the streets.
