Part deux:
And in honor of our buds that go on trial today at Gitmo:
Jeff Dunham - Achmed the Dead Terrorist
Tom Elia at The New Editor: Rezko Convicted of Corruption. A clip:

Steve Schippert at The Tank hits a home run with this one: RE: Prison Is So Confining for Terrorists. Guaranteed to raise your blood pressure…
Bob Owens at Confederate Yankee point us to this great piece at the WSJ: The Audacity of Death. A really hot issue which more should chime in on - all life should be sacred…
