Jack Idema Blogburst

One old post I found at some other blog dated some time in 2005, details some FOIA information, claiming they even have Jack Idema’s social security number. That particular post stands in direct contradiction to everything they have posted over there about his being a ‘renegade’ and ‘conman’. But it goes further; proposing the idea that Jack was conducting a ‘black op’ and that the American government should come clean about what he was doing in Afghanistan. The reasoning they use, however, I find extremely interesting; it’s because Jack’s wearing an assault vest while dressing Skurka’s wounds violated his agreement with Partners International and the public has a ‘right to know’.

This allegation stemming from humanitarian groups reminds me of the recent Haditha incident and complaints of ‘human rights violations’ by the George Soros-funded “Human Rights Watch” along with the newly formed Hammarubi group in Iraq. Hammarubi, by the way, isn’t even registered as a human rights organization and has only two members, one of which took the video footage that McGirk used for his Times piece about Haditha. McGirk’s piece pointed to our marines as murdering ‘innocent civilians in cold blood’, something which Jack Murtha and Code Pink seemed to relish. And the Stuporpatriots say this has nothing to do with politics? Puhleez.

And what about their attacks on Christian values? If they hadn’t pulled that rabbit out of their hat, I might have gone for their ‘nothing to do with politics’ claim. Who exactly is ‘for’ wiping ‘in God we trust’ off of our money again? Who is it that petitioned to have school children stop saying the pledge of allegiance because it says ‘one nation under God’ in it? What movement across American is trying to take down memorials to our soldiers like the Mount Soledad cross?

Several leftist groups have been applauding Ed Artis and his recently released film as some kind of victory for Knightsbridge; but the only thing I see in that, is that he is everything that his detractors say; someone who enjoys the limelight, and who, as one man who was with him in Rwanda said “gets almost a sexual pleasure out of publicity’ and wants desperately be a hero in the eyes of the public; so much so, according to my sources, that he lies about his exploits and puts other people in danger. What was it they said at one point? Oh yeah, lol…that he’s a cross between Mother Teresa and Indiana Jones!

As far as Jack is concerned, it doesn’t take a reasonable person to wonder how it could possibly be that a con-artist fake wannabe green beret could survive even a short time in Pulacharke let alone survive 7 Al Qaeda assassination attempts. I’d like to see Artis do THAT. Actually, since he’s been toting around his bags of rice in a well-known area of the Philippines infested with Al Qaeda, one has to wonder exactly what side of the war on terror he is actually on; and whether or not he’s aided and abetted the enemy the way Code Pink did; giving over $600,000 to the terrorists in Fallujah.

The humanitarian groups seem to not be interested in ‘human rights’ at all- only the human rights of terrorists, because if they were really interested in human rights, they would have raised questions over what happened to Jack and his men at the hands of Afghanistan’s KGB-trained NDS with the FBI standing in the hallway laughing- shortly after they were arrested in July of 2004. These men were brutally tortured, yet these human rights groups said nothing.

They were transferred after their first trial to Pulacharke because the Northern Alliance took them under their wing; it is the Afghans who are keeping them safe from harm; not the American government which doesn’t seem to give a damn about them in spite of all that they’ve personally sacrificed to fight this war. Interestingly, what Jack Idema has maintained on the situation in Afghanistan has turned out to be true–you can read a great piece he wrote about Afghanistan here called “The Lords of War”.

Ed Caraballo was released from Pulacharke at the end of April 2006, but Brent and Jack remain at Pulacharke (the torture ceased after they were transferred to Pulacharke under the watchful eye and protection of the Northern Alliance). Jack and Brent are now considered ‘prisoners of war’ - it says it on their ID cards. The torturer complaint and allegations against Jack and his men- have turned up illegitimate, yet some lefty blogs continue to repeat it as if telling the same lie over and over again is going to suddenly make it true. As I recall doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity…but I digress.

Terrorists like Jose Padilla get their habeas petitions answered within 30 days; Jack and his men had to wait over 9 months to get an answer to their habeas petition. Terrorists at Gitmo have lawyers flocking to defend them; Ed Caraballo, Brent Bennett and Zorro Banderas asked for assistance, and not one lawyer stood up to offer pro bono assistance. Not a one.

Oh and one more thing while I’m at it: In this article from Reuters, they’ve made the announcement (while Bush is in Europe talking about closing Gitmo down), that Al Qaeda prisoners at Gitmo will be transferred to Pulacharke prison. So it looks as though our friends will be seeing more ‘friendly’ faces. I wouldn’t be surprised, though, with Karzai’s ‘give peace a chance policy’, that many of these ‘friendly’ faces will end up walking out of Pulacharke–either with visitors like some did a short time ago, or with Karzai’s blessing, a couple hundred bucks, and a new pakol so they can blend in with the Northern Alliance. What is happening in Afghanistan right now is disgusting and US policy is at fault.

KABUL, June 14 (Reuters) - The United States will soon extradite all 96 Afghans, including several senior Taliban officials, being held at its Guantanamo Bay prison camp for terrorist suspects, an Afghan government official said on Wednesday.

Some of the prisoners would be transferred immediately and the others would be sent back to Afghanistan later, said Abdul Jabar Sabit, an interior ministry official.

The prisoners were being extradited was part of an understanding reached between President George W. Bush and Afghan President Hamid Karzai last year and would be tried by Afghan courts, Sabit said.

“All of the Afghan prisoners will be extradited in different batches,” Sabit, who was member of an official delegation which recently visited Guantanamo Bay, told a news conference.

If what happened to Jack and his men in the Taliban kangaroo court is any indication, we’ll have to see if any of these terrorists will even be charged. My gut feeling is…they’ll walk. And we’ll see more dead American soldiers…either that or…dead terrorists and Americans on trial for killing them.

Jack and Brent were declared innocent by the Afghan court in a second trial, and we should find out-we deserve to know-why they’re still being held at Pulacharke. Is it so they can give the Gitmo terrorists a little welcome party?

So what can we do? Well, anyone reading this with their own blog, and who believes the WoT still needs fighting, can sign up for the weekly Free Jack Idema Blogburst by emailing Cao or Rottweiler Puppy for details. I’d urge everyone to do this, as we’re still terribly short on takers. If you want to know more about the story, Cao’s Blog has a large section devoted to Jack Idema. There’s also a timeline here, and, of course, a huge amount of information is available over at SuperPatriots, without whose work none of us would have learned about Jack’s story.
