—No, I didn’t forget.  But they’ll be no dancing tonight, I’m afraid.  At about 2:30 this afternoon, Patrick Fitzgerald showed up at the house with a pair of federal marshalls and took the little guy into custody, claiming he’d “lied” to the grand jury about his relationship with Judith Miller. Which, from what I understand, was nothing more than a mezcal-fueled one-night stand—the details of which he refused to disclose.

From ABC News: The United States should close its prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and avoid using secret detention facilities in the war on terror, the U.N. panel that monitors compliance with the world’s anti-torture treaty said Friday. The Committee Against Torture also said detainees should not be returned to any country where they could face a “real risk” of being tortured. The criticism, contained in an 11-page report, followed

Craig Caughman emails:  “Utter bilge.  Saccharine, maudlin cliches. Contrast this with United 93.” Well, I would, but I haven’t seen United 93.  But for those of you who have, here’s your chance to compare the two.

PunkAssBlog (“I’m so punkass that when I speak Truth to Power, Power listens, because it knows if it gets all stubborn and shit, I’ll chuck a brick through a Starbucks’ window just to do it.  If, you know, no cops are around.”) says that Robert Spencer, Charles Johnson, Bryan Preston, Allahpundit and, naturally and especially, yours truly (who for the record has no pretensions to being an Islamic scholar) “lied”

From TalkLeft: “Another Internet Report of Karl Rove Indictment”: Wayne Madsen, whom I have not read previously, is reporting there will be an announcement of Karl Rove’s indictment Friday. His story somewhat tracks Jason’s Leopold’s article, except he says the meeting at Luskin’s office Friday was not for 15 hours, Rove wasn’t given 24 hours to get his affairs in order and he adds that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales met

In last week’s post, “An Islamic Declaration of War?”, I (and a number of other bedwetters and paste-eaters) tried to divine (sorry) the intent behind Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s letter to President Bush—a letter that Robert Spencer noted at the time was curiously like a da’waan Mohammedan mandate required before waging war against unbelievers. Today, we’re again confronted with the prospects of a letter from Ahmadinejad, this one to be addressed

Oh.  The humanity Writes Allah of the streaming video, “try to imagine what the moonbat hordes would say if Glenn Reynolds or Hugh Hewitt was involved in an ad this dumb.” And TKS’s Jim Geraghty …well, he seems as in awe of this thing as I am: It seems to me to be a form of a Public Service Announcement, warning that if you run against a hawkish Democrat [in
