Muhammad Caricature Watch: Abu Ghraib Image Hypocrisy FLAP
This image is from video made available Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2006 by the Special Broadcasting System in Australia is said by the broadcaster to show a prisoner bent forwards towards a seated man wearing a combat-style uniform. The Australian television network said the images of prisoners were made at the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad in late 2003, and were among photographs the American Civil Liberties Union was trying to obtain from the U.S. government under a Freedom of Information request. SBS refused to give details on the source of the photographs, and the authenticity of the images could not be verified independently.
Washington Post: Australian TV Network Airs More Abu Ghraib Photos
An Australian television channel today broadcast more photographs of abuse of Iraqi prisoners at the U.S.-run Abu Ghraib prison outside Baghdad. The graphic images, which included naked, blood-soaked prisoners, were quickly picked up by Arabic television stations and Web sites around the world.
The abuse pictures were similar to or the same as the now-infamous images that came out in April 2004, sparking public outrage, a congressional investigation and the military trials of several U.S. soldiers. But their release could be significant because it comes at a time of already heightened tension between Muslim nations and the West over European newspaper cartoons satirizing the prophet Muhammad.
So, let’s look at the coverage of the newly released (but a few years old) Abu Ghraib prison photos and the Muhammad Caricatures.

Images obtained by The Washington Post reveal more about the treatment of Iraqi prisoners.

Official sworn statements from Iraqi detainees in Abu Ghraib describe their experiences.
Muhammad Caricature
This handout photo from SBS TV allegedly shows a hooded and bound prisoner being attacked by a dog in Iraq’s notorious Abu Ghraib jail supposedly during interrogation by US soldiers in Baghdad in 2004. The Pentagon has confirmed the authenticity of a set of photographs of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib that were aired for the first time by Australian television, a defense official said.
Now, let’s look at the Washington Posts’ statement of the Muhammad Caricatures which they have NOT published.
From the Editor and Publisher:
“They wouldn’t meet our standards for what we publish in the paper,” said Leonard Downie, Jr., executive editor of The Washington Post, which ran a front-page story on the issue Friday, but has not published the cartoons. “We have standards about language, religious sensitivity, racial sensitivity and general good taste.”
Downie, who said the images also had not been placed on the Post Web site, compared the decision to similar choices not to run offensive photos of dead bodies or offensive language. “We described them,” he said of such images. “Just like in the case of covering the hurricanes in New Orleans or terrorist attacks in Iraq. We will describe horrific scenes.”
Hypocritical treatment of the Muhammad Caricatures?
Different publishing standards?
You betcha……..
Muhammad Caricature
This handout image from Australian public broadcaster SBS TV allegedly shows a prisoner in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison being displayed by US soldiers with his throat cut in Baghdad in 2004. SBS has shown what it said were previously unpublished photographs of the abuse of prisoners by US soldiers in Abu Ghraib.
The MSM are all over the “NEWLY RELEASED” (but not new) Abu Ghraib prison photos from a couple of years ago.
From Reuters: New graphic Abu Ghraib images
Yet, the Muhammad Caricatures have ONLY been published in the blogosphere and a couple of MSM newspapers?
Tell Flap why?

NSA Surveillance Watch: Congressional Probe of NSA Surveilance Is in Doubt
A worker at the National Security Agency (NSA) sits at her computer terminal in the Threat Operations Center during a visit by U.S. President George W. Bush in Fort Meade, Maryland January 25, 2006. Bush visited the ultra-secret NSA on Wednesday to underscore the importance of his controversial order authorizing domestic surveillance without warrants.
Washington Post: Congressional Probe of NSA Spying Is in Doubt
Congress appeared ready to launch an investigation into the Bush administration’s warrantless domestic surveillance program last week, but an all-out White House lobbying campaign has dramatically slowed the effort and may kill it, key Republican and Democratic sources said yesterday.
The Senate intelligence committee is scheduled to vote tomorrow on a Democratic-sponsored motion to start an inquiry into the recently revealed program in which the National Security Agency eavesdrops on an undisclosed number of phone calls and e-mails involving U.S. residents without obtaining warrants from a secret court. Two committee Democrats said the panel — made up of eight Republicans and seven Democrats — was clearly leaning in favor of the motion last week but now is closely divided and possibly inclined against it.
The Leftie Democrats WIMPED out because they know the NSA Surveillance program is legal and has been effective in protecting America.
Frankly, they do NOT have the votes to raise much of a “stink” here. But, they also know that if they sabotage this progam and the United States is hit again by Al Qaeda that it will be their ASS on the line.
Now, isn’t that what Flap said a few weeks ago?
A video wall display inside the Threat Operations Center of the National Security Agency (NSA) shows recent internet threat activity worldwide during a visit by U.S. President George W. Bush at Fort Meade in Maryland January 25, 2006.

Muhammad Caricature Watch: The FLAP Over Publication of Muhammad Caricatures on the Internet
Michelle Malkin: THE ISLAMISTS’ WAR ON THE INTERNET
Last Tuesday, during or immediately after my appearance on Fox News Channel to discuss the Mohammed Cartoons, this blog was hit by a large, foreign-based denial of service attack. Last night, my hosting service notified me that it is receiving ongoing threats from individuals vowing to take down this site–and others along with it–which will presumably continue until I take down the cartoons. For now, we are on guard and continuing with business as usual. But you should know there’s something much wider and deeper going on:
I. Security Pro News reports on the latest Islamist hacker attacks spurred by Cartoon Jihad.
This blog has also published the Muhammad Caricatures and has NOT received notice of a denial of service attack – YET. Flap has an alternate Blog where I can transfer posts should this site ever be attacked and taken down.
The attacks are coming from all over; last week, a Tampa, Fla.-based hosting company took down a hacking site that had targeted the Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper that originally published the 12 Mohammed Cartoons.
II. ISN notes the growth of the “virtual jihad community:”
III. Andrew Cochran at The Counterterrorism Blog reports on Muslim cyberterrorist hacking of American websites, and posts one reader’s thoughts on where this is headed:
The outstanding question is law enforcement response to Islamist “hack-tivists” defacing or otherwise compromising non-critical websites. Again, considered in isolation, defacing a women’s motorcycle club website for a day or two is an aggravation but not a threat to society. Considered in aggregate, however, defacing and compromising thousands of webpages is a dangerous pattern, a sure sign of probes preliminary to a coordinated attack of potentially massive proportions.
Other blogs have been attacked as well…….
Via LGF, I learned that my favorite photoblog, zombietime, has been attacked as well:
I have been seriously targetted too. Had a DDOS attack from Turkey. Just in the last hour I’ve been reverse-spammed with dozens of viruses from these email domain addresses:
smtp2.ste.net.sy
alesta.sbs.com.tr
easynet.co.uk
touchtelindia.netLooks like they’re coming from Syria, Turkey, Britain and India today (all countries with large populations of Muslims).
Every day the attacks come from new countries: Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Jordan, UAE, etc.
It’s craziness.
So, stay tuned……..

Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran’s Ambassador to Portugal Questions Holocaust
An Iranian man reads a newspaper with a front page picture of Iran’s nuclear negotiator Javad Vaeedi at a newsstand in Tehran, Iran February 15, 2006. Iran on Tuesday resumed feeding uranium gas into centrifuges for nuclear-fuel enrichment after a break of 2-1/2 years, stoking a diplomatic showdown with the West which suspects Tehran secretly seeks to build atomic bombs.
Reuters: Iran’s envoy to Portugal questions Holocaust
Iran’s ambassador to Portugal told a Portuguese radio interviewer it would have taken the Nazis 15 years to burn the corpses of 6 million people, a remark reflecting the denials of the Holocaust made by his president.
“When I was ambassador in Warsaw, I visited Auschwitz and Birkenau twice and made my calculations,” ambassador Mohammed Taheri said in an interview with Portuguese state radio RTP on Tuesday.
“To incinerate 6 million people, 15 years would be necessary,” he said
Flap thinks he should read some history and recalculate. Good Grief!
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad has repeatedly denied that the Holocaust, the Nazis’ killing of 6 million Jews during World War Two, took place. He has also called for “Israel to be “wiped off the map.
More than 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, died at Auschwitz-Birkenau, a death camp set up by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland.“When our president wants to talk about the Holocaust with historians and scientists, the whole world is against him,” Taheri said, referring to plans by Ahmedinejad to organize an academic conference on what happened in the Holocaust.
“Historians need to get together to give their opinions,” the envoy added.
And give their opinions on what?
The evidence has been sadly and morbidly presented for decades.
Taheri said the publication by European newspapers of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad, outraging many Muslims and provoking widespread protests, was an Israeli conspiracy designed to cause conflict between Muslims and Christians.
“We think that this is a conspiracy by Zionists who want to put Muslims against Christians in Europe,” he said.
Absolutely NOT.
Moronic statements from the Iranian Mullahs.

Muhammad Caricature Watch: Tens of Thousands Take to the Street in Pakistan – 3 Killed
Pakistani police officers remove the burning debris from outside U.S. fast food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) restaurant, which was damaged by angry mob during a protest against the publication of cartoons depicting Islamic prophet Muhammad, Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2006 in Peshawar, Pakistan. Protesters burned the KFC restaurant and movie theaters in Pakistan’s biggest protest yet against the Prophet Muhammad cartoons, the third straight day of violent demonstrations in the Islamic nation. Three died and dozens were injured in protests in two cities Wednesday, police and witnesses said.
ASSocaited Press: Cartoon Protests in Pakistan Leave 3 Dead
Gunfire and rioting erupted Wednesday as tens of thousands of people took to the streets in several Pakistani cities during the country’s third consecutive day of violent protests over the Prophet Muhammad cartoons. Three people were killed, including an 8-year-old boy.
More than 70,000 people flooded the streets of the northwestern city of Peshawar, said Saeed Wazir, a senior police officer. The massive crowd went on a rampage, torching businesses and fighting police, who struck back with tear gas and batons. A bus terminal operated by
South Korea’s Sammi Corp. was torched, police said.Protesters burned a KFC restaurant, three movie theaters and the offices of the main mobile phone company in the country. A Norwegian mobile phone company’s offices were also ransacked. Gunfire was heard near the burning KFC, as police tried to clear people from a main street, witnesses said.
An 8-year-old boy died after being struck in the face by a bullet fired by a protester, police officer Shahid Khan said. A 25-year-old man was killed by an electric cable that was snapped by gunfire, said the man’s cousin, Jehangir Khan.
At least 45 people were being treated for injuries in Peshawar’s two state-run hospitals, Khan and witnesses said.
Pakistani protesters burn a Danish flag during a protest in Peshawar February 14, 2006.
Of course, this is an oirganized attempt by Al Qaeda and other radical Islamofascists to undermine the pro-Western government of President Gen. Pervez Musharraf.
But, the government needs to immediately quell the violence and NOT let it linger and fester like Jacques Chirac did earlier in the French riots.
Hundreds of Afghan refugees joined the protest in Peshawar, the capital of the conservative North West Frontier Province. Many chanted “Death to Denmark!” and “Hang those who drew the insulting cartoons!” Others burned Danish flags and effigies of the Danish prime minister.
Rioting also broke out Wednesday in the northwestern town of Tank, near the South Waziristan tribal region where security officials have said al-Qaida-linked foreign fighters are hiding. Protesters set fire to 30 shops selling CDs, DVDs, and videos, said Attiq Wazir, a local police official. Suspected Islamic militants had warned music shops to close, witnesses said.
One policeman was injured when a protester opened fire to resist arrest.
In the eastern city of Lahore, fighting flared up for the second straight day. A 30-year-old man was shot dead in a clash with police as about 1,500 students staged a rally outside a university, hospital and police officials said.
Will President Musharraf have the ability to calm the Mullah inspired/incited masses?
Stay tuned…….
