Today the Drudge Report linked to the MRC’s cyberalert #3. And it’s a killer. The MRC is getting so many hits that it’s hard to get through. Keep trying, though, it’s a scream. Here’s the summary:

Four years ago, the NBC Nightly News tookseriously the appearance of the letters “RATS,” in a single frame of an enlargement of part of the word “BUREAUCRATS,” in an anti-Gore ad from the Bush campaign. The September 12, 2000 NBC Nightly News carried two full stories on the controversy. Jump ahead four years, and on Monday night the NBC Nightly News displayed the letters “ILIE” for 16 seconds next to President George W. Bush’s face in a “Decision 2004″ graphic beside anchor Tom Brokaw as he introduced a story by David Gregory. The letters came from the word “FAMILIES” in a sign on the far side of Bush, which read: “TAX RELIEF FOR WORKING FAMILIES.” See, or try to:

Dr. Rihab Rashid Taha, aka Dr. Germ and Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash, a biological weapons researcher known as “Mrs. Anthrax” should stay exactly where they are–in prison. Zarqawi with his cowardly threats can go screw himself! I don’t know why some psychotic Americans are out on the internet ‘demanding’ their release-these are two dangerous and deadly women.

Ammash–aka “Chemical Sally” or “Mrs. Anthrax”

Chemical Sally, or “Mrs Anthrax”, Huda Ammash, was No. 53 on the U.S. list of 55 most wanted Iraqis and the five of hearts in the deck. Born in 1953, Ammash received a masters degree in microbiology from Texas Women’s University in Denton, Texas. She obtained a doctorate from the University of Missouri-Columbia.

- Huda Salih Mehdi Ammash was the only woman included in the U.S. military’s list of 55 most-wanted Iraqis. She was number 39 on the list and the Five of Hearts in a deck of cards issued to soldiers to help them identify fugitives. She was taken into custody on May 9, 2003. Some reports indicate she gave herself up.
- U.S. officials believe Ammash was instrumental in rebuilding aspects of Iraq’s biological warfare production capability during the mid-1990s. At that time, she served as head of biological laboratories at Iraq’s military industrialisation organization.
- One of her mentors was Nasser Hindawi, believed to be the founder of Iraq’s biological warfare programme.
- Ammash, the first woman appointed to Iraq’s Baath Party regional command, earned a doctorate in microbiology from the University of Missouri in 1983. She earned a master’s degree from Texas Woman’s University in 1979.
- Ammash’s father was a leader of the 1968 Baath Party revolution who served as an Iraqi minister and ambassador before being killed in the 1980s, reportedly on Saddam’s orders. Later, she was obedient to her father’s murderer.
- In the months before the war, she appeared in videotapes of Saddam meeting with his war cabinet.
-Ammash and Zarqawi know each other. They are old friends.

Dr. Rihab Taha - Although she was not on the U.S. list of 55 most-wanted Iraqis, Taha was described by the U.S. military as a former director of the Iraqi bacterial and biological warfare programme. She was taken into custody on May 12 last year. (Reports are she also gave herself up)

- Taha was exploring the weapons potential of pathogens that cause anthrax and plague at the Al Hakam research lab, beginning in 1987.
- Taha admitted producing germ warfare agents in the past, including anthrax and botulinum, but said all such Iraqi weapons were destroyed. (liar)
- She was educated in Britain at the University of East Anglia, where she completed a PhD in plant toxins between 1980 and 1984. She later returned to Iraq and took charge of the country’s major biological facilities in the late 1980s.
- Taha is married to Amir Muhammed Rasheed, who ran Iraq’s military industries until becoming oil minister in 1995. He was number 47 on the U.S. list.
- In an interview with ABC News, Taha said her work helped protect Iraqis from Israel: “We haven’t done anything to harm other people. It is our right to be capable enough to defend ourselves — all what we have done is just a deterrent.”

“Defend ourselves”? These two murderous women ran tests on animals and humans in their labs on the effects of these toxins and were proud of their work. In fact, bragged about it.

I have to wonder about the effects of these and Gulf War Syndrome…and how they’re connected. I have no doubt that Taha, Ammash and Zarqawi are to some degree responsible for what happened to our boys over there.

In addition, our priceless environmental GREEN organizations are running around claiming these two are ENVIRONMENTALISTS. One of them wrote a paper on how American chemical weapons are destroying the environment over there. If that isn’t the biggest joke.

Let them rot in jail.

Our Constitution, developed by some of the brightest and most able statesmen in the history of the world, is the supreme law of the land.

Its carefully drafted text, with its careful concept of checks and balances, and a division of powers-resulted from the efforts of brave men in order to limit the reach and power of government and to protect liberty. A cursory glance at the tremendous freedom and economic prosperity of America as compared to other nations, even developed nations, should tell you that what the US Constitution and its principle foundation have allowed are the envy of the world.

Even the Wall Street Journal took notice of this, three years ago, reporting that in part, due to their legal tradition the “US and Britain have bigger stock markets and more shareholding citizens than Germany and France.”

Foreign legal ideas from different legal traditions may be worth studying. But even if desirable, they should only be adopted through proper channels of legislative deliberation and enactment. More and more often, our judicial elite seem to believe the Constitution’s principles can be “bent” to an agenda to make our law look more like that of other nations.

How being like other nations improves life in the US is hard for many of us to see, but Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has openly advocated this position in her remarks to the American Constitution Society, when she decided our country’s “Lone Ranger mentality.” Other justices say we can’t ignore the rest of the world and they are correct. However, diplomacy is the job of the State department, not the judiciary.

If other nations want to adopt the legal infrastructure that makes America the economic destination of choice, great! But is it sensible to risk our pgoress for a gamble on judicial globalization? Judicial “transjudicialism” could very well make us like other nations in ways we won’t like.

Foreign courts often cite US courts when “life and liberty are at stake”, which is the way it should be. Why should we, as the world’s only superpower and as the leader of the free world, bow to adopting foreign legal precedents to interpret-or reinterpret-our law? Legal precendents have enough unforeseen results, and we have enough trouble with our courts interpreting our own Constitution. Why go seeking fresh legal problems abroad?

If courts can amend the Constitution with the wave of a magic wand by selectively incorporating foreign law to reach their desired results, then they have too much power. God bless the memory of America’s Founders who rejected other traditions of law of their day to create this, the best, most free and prosperous nation on earth.
