who will stop the Pre-Pardons?

"With the Supreme Court so nicely stacked with proponents of Executive Branch "Unitary Authority" buffs, who will stop the Pre-Pardons? And, what's to prevent some really grotesques crimes from being committed, knowing the "Pardons' are Pre-printed? The gaul is astounding and the Dems' weak kneed, non-opposition is criminally negligent."

"Al Qaeda has named Abu Hamza al-Muhajer to replace al-Zarqawi. His name may also spelled Al-Muhajir. Not much seems to be known about him."

"Fears of an imminent U.S. assault on the Sunni city of Ramadi are increasing. On Saturday U.S. and Iraqi forces cordoned off the city of 400,000 people. The Los Angeles Times reported that fleeing residents say the U.S. has begun bombing residential areas. Thousands of families are reportedly trapped in the city and facing a mounting humanitarian crisis. Food and medical supplies are running low. Prices for gas have soared because of shortages. The Iraqi government has tried repeatedly to send medical and food aid into Ramadi, but it has been thwarted by insurgent attacks. A former governor of the city said that people in Ramadi are caught between two plagues: the vicious, armed insurgents and the American and Iraqi troops."

"And a 25-year-old Maryland man will be in court today on charges connected to a plot to bomb an abortion clinic in College Park Maryland. The man Robert Weiler was arrested last week after his own father contacted the FBI. Police said Weiler admitted he was planning the bombing and told investigators that he also intended to "shoot doctors who provided abortions." Last week police detonated a pipe bomb that Weiler had built at a friend’s house. According to the National Abortion Federation there have been 11 bombings, 25 attempted bombings and 35 arsons at the offices of abortion providers nationwide over the past decade."
