The Obama administration has been tight lipped about this, but CBN News has learned that five Muslim soldiers were arrested shortly before Christmas.  The five Muslim men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.  Of course this administration kept this quiet. They don’t want to be seen as being weak on terrorism despite O’Biden’s claims that they are doing a better job than the previous administration.

CBN News:

CBN News has learned exclusively that five Muslim soldiers at Fort Jackson in South Carolina were arrested just before Christmas. It is unclear whether the men are still in custody. The five were part of the Arabic Translation program at the base.

Patrick Jones, the Deputy Public Affairs Officer for Fort Jackson, confirmed for CBN News Thursday afternoon that an investigation was ongoing.

Prior to this posting, CBN News learned that these details were also confirmed by a government official with knowledge of the investigation.

The men are suspected of trying to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson.

A source with intimate knowledge of the investigation, which is ongoing, told CBN News investigators suspect the “Fort Jackson Five” may have been in contact with the group of five Washington, D.C., area Muslims that traveled to Pakistan to wage jihad against U.S. troops in December. That group was arrested by Pakistani authorities, also just before Christmas.

Coming as it does on the heels of November’s Fort Hood jihadist massacre, this news could have major implications.

Perhaps someone will tell Attorney General Eric Holder and the President that we are at war especially when are soldiers become targets.

The Huffington Post is reporting that Obama’s FBI, headed by Attorney General Eric Holder, has been torturing Americans being held in Pakistan. The 5 Americans being held alleged they were subjected to electric shock and other torture methods by the FBI.

As the Americans were being driven to a court, one of the men threw a tissue to a reporter with the following message written:

“Since our arrest, the U.S. FBI and Pakistani police have tortured us,” read the message. “They are trying to set us up. We are innocent. They are trying to keep us away from public, media and families and lawyers. Help us.”

Defense lawyer Tariq Asad said one suspect told the judge that the police gave them electric shocks and warned them not to mention the alleged torture to the media or court. The suspect, Ramy Zamzam, said police threatened to destroy their passports and their lives.

Attorney General Eric Holder has been investigating CIA agents who, under the Bush administration, used enhanced interrogation methods authorized by the Justice Department immediately after 9-11.  Obama, who has pledged an end of torture, has ordered the closing of Guantanamo Bay prison camps in an effort to improve the US image overseas.  The FBI has denied allegations that they are involved with torturing Americans.

1.  Liberals were having fits when some of us called Nidal Malik Hasan’s actions terrorism.  In fact, some accused us of being racists or bigots for even floating the idea that Nidal’s actions were terrorism.  How dare we accuse a Muslim of terrorism when there are so many law abiding Muslims in this country.  But reality is that it was liberals who saw this man’s religion as a reason for our pointing out that this might be a terrorist act. We sensible thinking Americans only needed to read about Hasan’s opposition to the war and his calling for people to strap on bombs in Time Square to make an educated assumption that his actions on Fort Hood could be a terrorist act.  Well now ABC reports that U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda.  SURPRISE!!!  Not.

2.  And it should come as no surprise that Attorney General Eric Holder plans on giving the keynote speech at the Muslim civil rights group, CAIR. Yes, CAIR, which supports the terrorist group HAMAS that is been responsible for thousands of Israel deaths, will have the honor of having the Attorney General has their speaker.  I guess no one has told Mr. Holder that the agency he’s responsible for has a ban on CAIR.  Then again, I don’t think he really cares.  Maybe he can brag how he’s investigating our brave CIA agents and get a standing ovation for it.

3.  Democrats in New York are shaking in their shoes after Governor Patterson demanded cuts in education and at hospitals before year end.  You see, when Republicans tried to educate these liberals about raising taxes on the rich, explaining that it would decrease revenue by causing the rich to flee the state, Democrats refused to listen.  Guess what?  As Reverend Wright would say, “the chickens have come home to roost”.

4.  Obama’s faux review to decide whether or not to send more troops to Afghanistan is complete with the President deciding to provide most of what his General requested.  I write “faux”, because many Washington insiders predicted that the President would authorize more troops to Afghanistan within two weeks of last Tuesday’s election.  Politics seems to be at play here.  Insiders say that the President didn’t want to upset his liberal base and was hoping to keep their support solid leading up to Tuesday’s election.

5.  And to address a few comments left on my blog.  As an international celebrity blogger, I am much more well-known and popular than Clay Aiken. In fact, when people hear his name they immediately think of me. If anything, Clay Aiken needs to ride my coattails to popularity.
