Catch And Release

The Dutch have decided to release 13 men who tried to hijack a ship off the coast of Somalia because nobody wanted to prosecute them. They will be free to pursue their piracy and the Dutch even gave them wonderful parting gifts.

A Dutch defence ministry statement said the European Union had decided that the 13 detainees had to be freed because it was impossible to bring charges.

The suspects were seized in the Indian Ocean two weeks ago after allegedly attempting to attack a cargo ship.

They were put back on their own speedboat with some food and fuel.

This is the future of not only fighting piracy but the broader war on terrorism when you follow the law enforcement model. It leaves you shaking your head and glad you don't make your living working aboard a ship.

The pirates have figured out one hell of a business model. Hijack a ship, hold the crew for ransom, rake in millions in protection money which is funneled to your brothers in arms participating in the jihad, and if caught spend a few days getting three hots and a cot courtesy of your intended victims. It is enough to make me want to pursue a career on the high seas. One or two big scores and you are set and the odds seem better then winning the lottery.

Dutch TV Jury Finds Bin Laden "Not Guilty"

In another example of reality tv gone bad, a tv jury of the Dutch program "Devils Advocate" has found Bin Laden not guilty of carrying out the attacks on 9/11.

In the conclusion Wednesday night to the show "Devil's Advocate" on Dutch public broadcaster Nederland 2, the jury of two men and three women, along with the studio audience, ruled that there was no proof bin Laden was the mastermind behind the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001.

Well this ought to keep the flames of the conspiracy theorists burning bright. It also marks another landmark in the Dutchs' further submission to Islam. I guess having Theo Van Gough killed in broad daylight by a jihadist, running one of your MP's out of office for her stand on Islamic fundamentalism, Ayaan Ali Hirsh, and pilloring another member of your legislature, Geert Wilders, for his outspoken criticism just wasn't enough.
Remind me again where the Vikings came from. Maybe he will come out of hiding to accept the official verdict.

Dutch film wins award at Egyptian Film Festival

Well, not the one by Geert Wilders, that;s for sure, but still a Dutch film won an award at The International Cairo Film Festival

The International Cairo Film Festival jury awarded a children's short, "Doggie" the Golden Cairo for Short Features, less than two weeks after banning Dutch entries because of far-right politician Geert Wilders' film, which portrays the Koran as a "fascist book."

I don't have a clue what the film is about and the rest of the story just delves into the "Fitna" controversy and makes mention of the arrest of two suspects who apparentely planning to kill the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard.

Fear and cowardice wins again in the Netherlands

Dutch tv stations are refusing to air the much talked about Geert Wilders film entitled "Fitna" out of fear. Gone is the last vestiges of a once proud and powerful Viking ancestry. I guess the world will have to wait until March 28 when Mr Wilders is scheduled to post the 15 minute film on the web.

"While there are no concrete indications of impending attacks in the Netherlands, the increased international terrorism threat has prompted [us] to raise the threat level for the Netherlands from 'limited' to 'substantial,'" the Justice Ministry said.

Fear and intimidation wins!

Remember fireworks safety this year

But that is only part of the story. You guessed it. The Muslims are outraged I tell 'ya. Why they are seething. To the Islamofascists I say "Get a life" instead of taking one.
