Well, the AP got the story, the story that I’ve been sitting on for months.

It wasn’t really important for me to be the one that broke it. What IS important is that he’s been vindicated with a fair article in the press announcing his release. I don’t see a single reference here to his ‘torturing innocent Afghans’, Mariah Blake’s “Tin Soldier” or the other garbage and lies that’s been put in print about him, and it’s about time that someone started telling the TRUTH on this story. It’s been an exhausting couple of years.

I’ve been thinking about the possible ramifications for the government and the Bush administration on this. We have so many examples of people who have been fighting the war on terror only to find themselves in a legal mess because of leftist lawyers who elevate the rights of terrorists over our own soldiers. Ilario Pantano, David Pasarro, the marines of Haditha and numerous others have been brought back only to face what seems to be retaliation from our own system for prosecuting the WoT. Special Forces soldiers have been brought up on charges, all facing the same Judge Terrence Boyle. Sadly, the ‘human rights’ organizations have done little to stand up and object to mistreatment of soldiers and others at the hands of terrorists, even though we’ve seen incidents like Michael Mann’s horrible torture and death at the hands of terrorists, the horrible deaths of Menchaca and Tucker, and the horrible death of the humanitarian aid worker, Margaret Hassan- while they don’t lift a finger.

Northern Alliance

Terrorists don’t have any ‘rules of engagement’ except to lie about the mistreatment of their captors, that war is deception, and al takeyya (lying for the sake of Islam) is acceptable. Above all, they sure seem to know how to leverage their buddies in the media. They don’t abide by the Geneva Conventions, we saw that with Iran last week, taking the British sailors and marines hostage, and forcing them to write written statements, parading them in front of the media in coerced confessions. The Revolutionary Guard of Iran broke the law for a propaganda campaign that the AP absolutely lapped up.

It seems that terrorists are the only ones they care about, which raises a lot of questions. This convoluted sense of ‘justice’ is something we should all be concerned about.

Idema is an example of how people are getting screwed over by our own system when only trying to do the next right thing. Bin Laden is offering a large monetary reward to whoever kills Idema. That alone and in itself should be enough to support Idema’s efforts. Idema didn’t belong in that horrible prison alongside Al Qaeda and the Taliban; Idema is not and was not a criminal who deserved torture, starvation and beatings.

Thankfully, the Northern Alliance agreed with that assessment, even though the American government stopped supporting them and turned its back on our former allies. Idema didn’t turn his back on our former allies, and that is just one of the components of this sick and twisted story. Massoud’s United Front stood by his side with honor and courage, and many laid down their lives to keep him alive.

Jack told me to put up some of the pictures he’s been sending, and I’ll be putting some of them up now.

This is Mullah Mujahed, the Taliban General over 200,000 Taliban fighters who was in prison also at Pulacharke. Strange circumstances lead to interesting relationships. Jack, in fact, not only knew him, but when they were at Saderat, the Extreme Interrogation Facility, Mullah Mujahed shared his food with Jack, Brent and Ed while they were being starved and tortured.

This is the only known picture of Mujahed, although I have others. I want to be careful as to which ones I put up, because there are vicious people like Joe Cafasso, Kathryn Cramer and others, who will attempt to spin whatever it is I do, whatever pictures I print, into something negative about Idema.

Although now, I would bet those people who said nasty things about Idema have now gone into hiding. It is plain, and will become clearer over time, that he is exactly who and what he’s always said he is. More on this later.
