Former Gitmo detainee in human bomb attack in Mosul

AP/Miami Herald:

Al-Arabiya television reported Thursday that a former Guantánamo detainee carried out a recent suicide bombing in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

A cousin said Abdullah Saleh al Ajmi, a Kuwaiti who was released from Guantánamo in 2005, was reported missing two weeks ago. His family learned of his death Thursday through a friend in Iraq, al-Arabiya said.

The cousin, Salem al Ajmi, told the station on Thursday that the former detainee was behind the latest attack in Mosul, although he did not provide more details.

Three suicide car bombers targeted Iraqi security forces in Mosul on April 26, killing at least seven people.

Mosul is believed to be the last urban stronghold of al Qaeda in Iraq.

...

The terrorist right crowd that wants to close Gitmo and give all the terrorist there Constitutional rights is not likely to be bothered by this. It is just more evidence that they should be ignored and that we should keep these guys at Gitmo until the war is over if they live that long.

    If you think this is bad, there have been two NY Times editorials about this story that I consider to be flat out treasonous in their blatant support for the enemy and criticism of the U.S. Prepare to be disgusted.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
