RUSH: Al-Reuters today says, "Al Qaeda is trying to acquire the technology that would enable it to use a nuclear device to attack Western targets including Britain, a senior British official said on Monday. 'We know the aspiration is there. We know attempts to gather materials are there, we know that attempts to gather technology are there,' the senior Foreign Office official told reporters. The comments at a briefing came days after the head of Britain's domestic spy agency said Muslim extremists were plotting at least 30 major terrorist attacks in Britain which could involve chemical and nuclear devices."
Now, is this news to anybody? Once again, this is news that everybody who's had the guts to face it has long known has been one of the objectives of these creeps. This is obvious, Al-Qaeda seeking nuclear weapons to use against the West. But fortunately, ladies and gentlemen, we are going to be protected now, because we have elected Democrats to run Congress, and they know how to talk to these people, and they know how to make deals with these people, and they know how to tell these people that we don't mean them any harm. In fact, Pat Leaky Leahy, the incoming judiciary committee chairman has an idea. He wants to give Al-Qaeda habeas corpus rights. He wants to ditch the foreign surveillance legislation the president negotiated before the election, and if he doesn't ditch it, he wants to add a provision that grants Al-Qaeda prisoners of war habeas corpus rights. That will of course make everything better. The terrorists will find out we mean them no harm, that they have friends in high places in Washington, DC, who understand their rights and are going to do everything that they can to see to it that their rights to explore for nuclear materials are not discovered by prying, evil spies in the Bush administration or Republican agencies of our government.
Patrick Leahy has let it be known, he's let the terrorists all over the world know it, that he and his Democrats are their protectors. They will do everything they can to see to it that secret activities undertaken by Al-Qaeda are not discovered. In this effort Al-Qaeda will understand how compassionate and worldly we are and how we intend them no harm, that this was all Bush's fault, that if Bush hadn't been elected there would have never been any terrorism. "A battle is shaping up between Democrats and the White House over the Military Commissions Act, signed into law last month by President George W. Bush. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., is expected to take over as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and The (Calif.) Daily Journal reports that Leahy is drafting a bill to undo portions of the new law in an effort to restore habeas corpus rights for enemy combatants." That's prisoners, ladies and gentlemen, enemy combatants, terrorist prisoners that we capture.
This is all part of the Al-Qaeda Bill of Rights, and I'll tell you what, I want to commend the people of America who voted for these Democrats, because you are visionary. You are so farsighted, you see so much more than all the rest of us, you understand why these Al-Qaeda people hate us so you have installed in power in Washington the equivalent of their buddies, their supporters, people like Patrick Leahy and the Democrats, Jack Murtha. First we're going to cut-and-run and we're going to get out of there, and then we're going to grant these people all kinds of secrecy and privacy rights so that whatever they're doing, trying to find nuclear components for their terrorist weapons, will not be discovered. That just wouldn't be fair. It wouldn't be right to learn those things.
