“… the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13338 of May 11, 2004″

Certainly has that Wehrmacht ring to it, doesn’t it? Here’s the full copy of this EO.

Um, isn’t it under such “national emergencies” that the Preznit can declare martial law?

Was this “national emergency” ever lifted?

Why didn’t the MSM report on this more widely?

From the top post:

If you’ve read Three Cups Of Tea, you know the enormous difference that a bit of education and some measure of hope can make in the lives of the residents in these forgotten corners of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

NPR had a report this morning on how the public education system in Pakistan is collapsing. And who is there to step into the void? The mullahs of the Taliban, naturally. If we spent as much on books and teachers as we do on bombs, we could turn this thing around.

Christy, thank you. And Jane, too. If it weren’t for y’all and FDL’s great frontpagers, I doubt I’d ever hear about a lot of what goes on in this world of ours.

Y’all freakin’ rock!

Well, substitute USA for Syria on this part, and you have a big HELLO…

I further find that the conduct of certain members of the Government of Syria and other persons contributing to public corruption related to Syria, including by misusing Syrian public assets or by misusing public authority, entrenches and enriches the Government of Syria and its supporters
