We Will Never Give UP On Our Support For Jack Idema and His Men

Although we’re getting a little now, Christmas in Britain passed without so
much as a dusting of snow. Not so in Afghanistan, as we can see from this
photograph, taken from inside the Pulacharke prison compound. The mountains,
in particular, give a nice, Christmassy feel to the scene, as do the three or
four inches of white stuff covering the ground.

In fact, the only things that really spoil this vista are the watchtowers,
the prison bars and the knowledge that, behind them, are three American patriots
— Special Forces soldier – Jack
Idema, his right-hand man Brent
Bennet, and journalist Ed
Caraballo.

Jack, Brent and Ed were originally sentenced to a decade in prison after a
chaotic show trail in September 2004. Their judges were members of the Taliban
regime who’d crept back into the new Afghan government. More worrying, perhaps,
the bearded crazies were assisted by groups within the FBI and U.S. State
Department, who disappeared evidence and collaborated with the men who tortured
Jack, Brent and Ed. Since the trail, there have been numerous assassination
attempts mounted against Idema and his men by the Taliban and al-Qaeda scumbags
they are being held with.

Most disturbing of all, however, is the fact that all three men were declared
innocent after a retrial almost exactly a year ago. Now, granted, there are
bound to be some differences between our legal systems and the one in
Afghanistan, but we’re pretty sure one thing they do have in common is the
notion that locking up completely innocent people isn’t acceptable …

… So why are Jack and his men still incarcerated? For answers, we
need to look at the way the War On Terror is actually playing out in
Afghanistan, and to understand the extent to which many of the players in the
FBI and U.S. State Department have edged away from killing and capturing
Islamofascists, and back toward policies of appeasement and (false) stability.
This has meant, at least for the State Department and the Karzai government,
that men like Jack Idema became something of an inconvenience, hunting,
arresting and killing the very terrorists they were foolishly attempting to
broker deals with. In an effort to push their flawed agendas, then, sections of
the U.S. government have seen to it that Idema and his men stay behind bars.

In essence, this means that Jack Idema is a political prisoner, who,
bizarrely, is being held by America in order to prevent him hunting
down and killing the very people who masterminded 9/11.

And, yes, you really do need to read that, last sentence over
several times in order for its full implications to sink in. Four years after
that terrible, September day, instead of bringing the sword of justice to the
bearded crazies responsible for 3000 murders, we’re bringing injustice
to the men whose mission it is to hunt down
the bin Ladens of this world and make them pay for what they did.

And, make no mistake, this is exactly what Jack Idema intends to do.
Here he is, in an interview he gave a couple of months ago, laying down
the principles upon which the WOT,
should be fought.

Americans now are saying let’s have this peace and appeasement and all of this
— listen. Remember about this? People forget about the fact that people were
diving out windows on 9/11 to avoid being burned to death. This is a war. War
is a war of attrition –that means you kill the enemy. You don’t make
peace with them, you don’t make nice with them, you don’t take ’em in for a
steak dinner-you kill ’em. And believe me–these people deserve to die. They
are the worst terrorists on the face of the earth. Look what they did on 9/11
and that is only one small part of what they want to do to us.

You can hear the whole thing here.

In the meantime, and while the head-hackers tuck into those steak
dinners courtesy of the State Department, Jack Idema and his men are
subjected to the petty malice of U.S. Consul Adrienne Harchick. Adrienne
(or ‘Addie’ to the friends she doesn’t deserve to have) has denied Jack
and his men access to clean drinking water, refused to allow them to
send hand-made gifts to their families back home, and even went so far
as to seize 21 Christmas packages sent to Jack, Brent and Ed via regular
Afghan post. Adrienne’s lame excuse for this, last, piece of spite was
that Christmas gifts ‘violate the Muslim religion’. (This, even though
Jack’s many Muslim friends in the Northern Alliance have offered to
deliver the presents to him themselves.)

But. This intolerable situation might, finally, be coming to an end.
Last week, the Northern Alliance-backed Yunis Qanooni took the reigns of
power in the Afghan Parliament, and, unlike the appeasing weasel Karzai,
intends to prosecute the war against terrorists hard. We must also hope
that Qanooni resolves to release Jack and his men so they can help in
this endeavour.

Because here’s the thing: someone like Jack Idema is doing no good
looking at the Afghan mountains through the bars of a prison
cell. He needs to be in those mountains, finishing the fight
al-Qaeda started with us back in September, 2001.
