This is treason in my book.
So mind-bendingly insane is this that I thought Roggio might have been duped by his sources. Not so: Both the Guardian and now Jake Tapper have independently confirmed that it’s true. Remember Qais Khazali? We wrote about him a bunch in early 2007. He used to be an al-Sadr deputy, then broke away and hooked up with Iran to start his own little mini-Hezbollah. That group, the “League of the Righteous,” ended up pulling off one of the most notorious, sophisticated anti-American operations of the Iraq war in Karbala. The toll: Five Americans murdered, four of them after they were kidnapped, bound, and shot in the head like animals. U.S. troops caught up to Khazali two months later and captured him and his brother; the ID cards of several dead American soldiers were recovered at the scene. No less a figure than David Petraeus went on to blame the Karbala raid squarely on Khazali’s outfit and accused Iran’s Quds Force — the creme de la creme of the Revolutionary Guard, responsible for assisting Iranian proxy jihadis like Hezbollah in other countries — of bankrolling the whole thing.
And now, after three years in U.S. custody, he’s free.
“We let a very dangerous man go, a man whose hands are stained with US and Iraqi blood,” a military officer said. “We are going to pay for this in the future.”

This is why the MS is failing. It does not report news, it pushes a political agenda and HIDES news to do it.
Fox News has earned the right to crow about nine top stories of 2009 that you would have never heard of — if CNN, MSNBC, HLN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and the rest of the MSM had been your sole source for news propaganda.
Moonbattery.com was there too:
Van Jones — a damn commie in damn commie’s Czar House.
ACORN Tapes — a lesson in how not to community organize child trafficking and prostitution.
Science Czar John Holdren — eugenics made easy.
ClimateGate — new dictionary listing under "hoax."
Politicizing the NEA — but, it’s art.
Chas Freeman — because having a bin Laden associate in the Obama Administration would be real cool.
Tea Party and 9/12 March on Washington Protests — a few thousand, tops.
Kevin Jennings, Safe Schools Czar — because pedophiles and perverts are people, too.
Democratic Stimulus — porkulus bucks for everything from sex studies to dead folks went 2 to 1 toward Democrat districts.

Well, it sounds like he will be ok, but details are sketchy.
HONOLULU — Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh’s radio program says he is resting comfortably at a Honolulu hospital where he was taken with chest pains.
The program said in a statement Wednesday that Limbaugh appreciates people’s prayers and well-wishes. The statement says Limbaugh will keep people updated via rushlimbaugh.com and his radio program.
A simple story like this, and the AP just couldn’t let it go without mentioning that he was addicted to drugs at one time. A full page story, but what was the last paragraph?
Two years later Limbaugh acknowledged he was addicted to pain medicine. He blamed the addiction on severe back pain, and took a five-week leave from his radio show to enter rehab.
It had nothing to do with the story and was obviously tacked on the end.
