Washington Times:

Two leaders of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) continued to run the Pakistan-based terrorist group's operations while locked up in a Pakistani prison, according to a 2009 diplomatic message by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

In her Aug. 10, 2009, cable, part of a document dump by the website WikiLeaks, Mrs. Clinton wrote that LeT founder Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and Zaki ur Rehman Lakhvi, the group's operations commander, "continue to run the organization, despite being detained for their role in the November Mumbai attacks."

Terrorists attacked Mumbai in a three-day assault in November 2008, killing 166 people, including six Americans. U.S. and Indian intelligence agencies believe LeT was behind the attack.

Mrs. Clinton wrote that Lakhvi was responsible for LeT's military operations budget, which was around $5.2. million a year. He reportedly used the money to purchase "all materials required for [LeT] operations other than weapons and ammunition, according to a source claiming direct and ongoing access to [LeT] leaders," she said.

The Pakistani government has banned LeT, but the group continues to operate under different names, including the charity Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD).

...
This information suggest that Pakistan is not serious in dealing with terrorist operating from its territory and is possibly complicit in their attacks. If they were really serious they would ship these guys to India where they could be tried. If nothing else they could make clear to the perps that is where they will go if the activity continues.

Vote against Democrat boondoggle 'stimulus'

James Freeman: President Obama's $825 billion (and counting) "stimulus" is steamrolling through Congress. One group of conservative Republicans is betting that it will only worsen the country's economic plight. That's where the House Republican Study Committee comes in. "No Trillion Dollar Spending Spree" is the message from this conservative caucus. Led by its new chairman, Rep. Tom Price of Georgia, the RSC now counts more than 100 House Republicans among its members. Mr. Price calls the Democrats' proposal "the non-stimulus plan" and says it "simply won't work" because it offers no market incentives to create jobs. What the plan does offer are multibillion-dollar gifts to state governments, teachers unions, and the environmental lobby, with such gems as a $6 billion program to "weatherize modest-income homes." In contrast, Mr. Price and company have drawn up their own plan, the "Economic Recovery and Middle...

Obamagate, The Movie

WND: The Irish-born filmmaking couple Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinny are known for their film  "Gosnell,"  which exposed the seamy underside of the abortion industry by turning transcripts and evidence from the trial of the Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell into a cinematic drama. Now, in yet another effort to counter a conventional narrative with first-hand evidence, they're about to release  "Obamagate: The Movie,"  showing how the Obama administration tried to take down Donald Trump.They turned gripping testimony from the 2014 Michael Brown case into a play, called  "Ferguson."   And lately they did the same with the infamous texts of FBI agent Peter Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page in  "FBI Lovebirds: Undercovers,"  starring Dean Cain and Kristy Swanson. "We would be unemployed if the media did its job," McAleer told WND in an interview. "They're not reporting spin anymore," he said of the establ...
