| Hate preacher Abu Hamza is to be given a new prosthetic hands after U.S. authorities refused to allow him to wear metal hooks in place of his missing hands when he is outside of his jail cell. The radical Islamist cleric is facing U.S. terrorism charges after finally been extradited from Britain after an eight-year legal battle. The Egyptian-born preacher, lost his hands and left eye after mine exploded while he was fighting the Soviet army in Afghanistan. Hamza's lawyer, Jeremy Schneider, told reporters outside the courtroom his client would have his prosthetics changed on Tuesday.

He wants to eat?
Give him a length of duct tape and a plastic spork for meals.

It would be cheaper to make the other inmates feed him. That would be interesting. At least somebody in law enforcement doesn't sound real happy about it.
FTA - Non electric prosthetics costs between $5,000 and $8,000 each, while high spec models featuring sensors can cost up to $55,000.
Hamza, who faces months in jail before being put on trial, will be given the cheaper option, according to law enforcement sources.
'The rule is you give the guy what they had before. Not anything better.'

Here is a solution. Give him his hooks to wear outside of his cell, but hang a bomb around his neck, like the pizza bomber guy, and give a guard the remote control to blow it up if he steps out of line.
Problem solved, on the cheap.

According to his schedule, President Obama will take time out this week to address a gala thrown by Planned Parenthood--the abortion industry’s favourite lobby. It’s an extraordinary move, not just because the issue is so controversial but because Planned Parenthood has recently disgraced itself over the Gosnell trial. [Snip] He also operated a filthy clinic covered in cat feces and used untrained employees to carry out medical procedures. A question that has repeatedly been asked is “Who knew about this?” and “What did they do about it?” Last week, Planned Parenthood answered with “We did” and “As little as possible.”

Two encouraging things happened in the last week, but you may well have missed them in the flood of horror coming from Boston.[Snip] On Wednesday, attempts by President Obama to get restrictions on gun ownership through the US Senate failed, and failed because even some Democrats voted against the Bills. This was not expected. What followed was as nasty a response as we have yet seen from this president. Worse, he spoke to the Press with children tucked up near his podium: it looked very like the human shield of children Saddam Hussein used on camera in the run-up to

If you want to understand why the American Right is fuming about the Left’s attitudes to the Boston bombings, look no further than this stunningly one-eyed article by Glenn Greenwald, The Guardian’s "security and liberty" correspondent. [Snip] No basis? I’m not for trial by media, or for wild speculation--you’ll note that the Telegraph has not jumped to conclusions this last week when other media outlets have--but it simply flies in the face of the known facts to suggest that the Boston bombings are indistinguishable from those mass shootings. So let me try and “meaningfully distinguish”

As Boston mourns, as Massachusetts holds a minute´s silence, the Marathon bombing has reignited a fierce political debate. It is a hugely sensitive tussle over the nature of Islamist terrorism, Islam itself and how America responds to terrorism and a religion it doesn´t truly understand. In many ways it is a replay, a reflection, and occasionally a distortion of the major disagreement between supporters of George W Bush and Barack Obama. President Obama´s opponents portray him as reluctant to use the word terrorism, overly sympathetic towards Islam, and insufficiently focused on the dangers of violent expressions of militant Islam.

The climax to the bloodsoaked saga of the Boston Marathon bombings could hardly have been more dramatic. [Snip] There should be no puzzle about this atrocity. The Tsarnaev brothers were Islamic jihadists and their actions were all too predictable. They were behaving as jihadists usually do, striking terror into the hearts of the infidels and blowing people up. Intolerance, butchery, assassination and intimidation are at the very core of Islamist ideology. Since 9/11 in New York there have been 20,000 terrorist incidents perpetrated across the globe in the name of militant Islam. From Madrid to Bali, Toulouse to Algeria

A man lies on a stretcher at a hospital in Herat, west Afghanistan recovering from having his leg and hand cut off by Taliban militants. The attack yesterday saw two men captured and dragged in front of a Taliban court who ruled the men should have a leg and a hand each chopped off for working with the allied forces. The men work for a company that provides logistics for NATO convoys in western Herat province, police said. ´These two men are from Koshk Robat Sangi district. They were caught by the Taliban.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is under guard and handcuffed to the bed in a hospital in Boston and cannot talk due to a gunshot wound to the throat. The authorities had expressed fears that his injuries meant he might never be able to answer their questions, but ABC and NBC reported that he had started responding sporadically in writing. USA Today also cited a law enforcement official as saying he was awake and responding, but the reports have not been officially confirmed. Investigators are hoping he will be able to shed light on why the pair attacked the Boston Marathon.

In Obama´s Audacity of Hope, he stated, "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in any ugly direction." He also asserted in Bob Woodward´s Obama´s Wars, "We can absorb [another] terrorist attack." These are two straightforward statements that raise the question of whether a man who has been seemingly obsessed with reaching out to "the Muslim world" since taking office is capable of fulfilling his duty as commander-in-chief to keep America safe and secure.

George W. Bush will return to the spotlight this week for the dedication of his presidential library, an event likely to trigger fresh public debate about his eight fateful years in office. But he reemerges with a better public image than when he left Washington more than four years ago. Since then, Bush has absented himself from both policy disputes and political battles. A new Washington Post-ABC News poll suggests that the passage of time and Bush’s relative invisibility have been beneficial to a chief executive who left office surrounded by controversy.

In debate classes or law school, it is often referred to as the ‘arguing against the non-existing opponent’ tactic. The way it works is you imply your opponent is making an outlandish, unsavory claim (though he isn’t), hoping others will run with it or, at worst, that your opponent won’t sufficiently correct it and the claim sticks. To illustrate, imagine Sally is arguing in favor of marijuana’s legalization against Tom. In the middle of the debate, Tom suddenly shrieks: “Well, Sally, you can talk about legalizing marijuana all you want but I just don’t believe

THE graying man flashing fury in the Rose Garden on behalf of the Newtown families, the grieving man wiping away tears after speaking at the Boston memorial service, is not the same man who glided into office four years ago. President Obama has watched the blood-dimmed tide drowning the ceremony of innocence, as Yeats wrote, and he has learned how to emotionally connect with Americans in searing moments, as he did from the White House late Friday night after the second bombing suspect was apprehended in Boston.

President Obama´s sequester scare strategy has been a political flop, but his government keeps trying. The latest gambit is to force airline flight delays until enough travellers stuck on tarmacs browbeat enough Republicans to raise taxes again. This week the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began furloughing each of its air-traffic controllers for one day out of every 10 to achieve roughly $600 million in savings this fiscal year. The White House dubiously claims that the furloughs are required by the sequester spending cuts enacted in 2011.

The two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings were not licensed to have the firearms they used in several shootouts with police on Friday, Reuters reported Sunday night.The news that the suspects were not authorized to own firearms will likely add fuel to calls for tougher gun laws – an issue that was put on the back-burner last week after the Senate blocked the central elements of a gun-control package backed by President Obama. Because Massachusetts state law bars handgun ownership for those younger than 21, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, age 26, was the only brother who could have

REP. KEITH ELLISON (D-MINN.): Well, you know, it is too early for me to second-guess the FBI. I think we need to know more about what they knew. The fact of the matter is that it is good that they contacted him. That wasn´t enough to deter him, obviously. But the fact is that before I’m going to say the FBI should have done something different, what I, I’m not prepared to say that yet. There is just not enough information. What I will say is this: We don´t know what their motivation was yet.

Like a lot of Americans, when I woke up on Friday morning and found out there was a manhunt in the Boston area for the remaining suspect in Monday’s bombing at the marathon, I turned on CNN. It’s a common impulse, although less common than it used to be. The news audience has been chopped up into ideological camps, and CNN’s middle way has been clobbered in the ratings. The legacy networks’ news divisions can still flex powerful muscles on big stories, and Twitter and other real-time social media sites (Snip) But the biggest damage to CNN has been self-inflicted

Apparently the latest craze in NYC is to let your babies’ freak flags fly by letting them go commando: When Jada Shapiro decided to raise her daughter from birth without diapers, for the most part, not everyone was amused. Ms. Shapiro scattered little bowls around the house to catch her daughter’s offerings, and her sister insisted that she use a big, dark marker to mark the bowls so that they could never find their way back to the kitchen.

Next week, the "Argo" and "Good Will Hunting" actor will join thousands of others when he lives off of $1.50 per day as part of the Live Below the Line campaign, from April 29 to May 3. Billed as a means to challenge the way people think about poverty, the campaign requires participants to feed themselves on no more than $1.50 a day for five days.
