"It puts our soldiers in jeopardy very likely," he told ABC News Tuesday. "And I think, in fact, images from such activity could very well be used by extremists here and around the world."
Former Vice Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Jack Keane, an adviser to Petraeus, called it "outrageous" and "insulting to Muslims."
"Moderate" Muslims would never have resorted to violence over the Koran burning in Florida. And it was still burned elsewhere. The ones that would have behaved that way were the same in their religion as the Florida pastor was in his.

Yeah, because burning a book is equivalent to rioting and killing people. So-called "moderate" Muslims rioted and killed people in response to cartoons of their pedophile Prophet (pig's blood upon him). They were quite ready to riot and kill over the burning of a dirty little Qu'an.
They also take hostages and kill priests in Iraq because of a false rumor that a church in Egypt was holding two Christian women who supposedly converted to Islam. Any act that shows an infidel standing up to a Muslim as an equal or showing any disrespect to Islam is met with violence. It's built in to their ideology that Muslims are the superior people and everyone else must submit to them.
The prisoner did what he was supposed to do to avoid having his arse kicked or sensory deprived. You don't know what they did to him to get that confession.
And YES OF COURSE it would come from a MUSLIM, they're the ones who are TRYING TO KILL US!
Hmmmm, aren't we in their country trying to kill them?
Is it okay for us to kill, but not them?
I don't think it's okay for anyone to kill, but that's probably just me.

So we are supposed to give up our freedom of speech because of a perceived threat. That is plain giving into terrorism and blackmail ;IMO. Nothing less.

Go USA.
They want to kill our civilians and when our troops do that they get investigated by their superiors just in case they killed a couple of them accidentally. One group wants to kill large groups of civilians and the other wants to kill militants. It seems to me to be a large difference, but then that could be just me.

I agree with you and we shouldn't give up freedom of speech. Just saying "moderate" (a term not used by Muslims to refer to themselves or ideology) don't behave in that manner.

Really? Why do you behave like this - and call yourself a Christian? Is that what your Christ taught you?
To be sure, the failure of what US, British, and Yemeni officials say was a plot by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) to deliver its bombs is the latest in a long string of militant efforts that have come up short thanks to dramatically improved coordination of international intelligence and security efforts since 9/11.
But many of the key pieces of intelligence that set those networks into action came from Muslims – some former militants themselves – who have stepped forward to stop Islamist militants.
Same with the Times Square bomber--a Muslim spotted the smoking SUV first and asked the vendor to call the cops because his own English was limited. Same with the would-be subway bomber--his imam was an NYPD informant and ratted him out. The informant also let the bomber know the cops were asking about him, giving the bomber time to get rid of the fertilizer, but he still had the nine cellphones and nine backpacks. For tipping off the bomber, the informant was deported.
None of this is ever as simple or cut-and-dried as everyone would like it to be.
He was not in Yemen when he confessed, he was in Saudi Arabia.
Also, he could have been a plant by the Saudi Government. Saudi Arabia pays for information leading to the capture of terrorists or other terrorist activity.
Quote:
The tip came from Jabir al-Fayfi, a Saudi who was held for years at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and was released to Saudi Arabia in 2007. Soon after, he fled Saudi Arabia and joined the al-Qaida affiliate in Yemen, until he turned himself in to Saudi authorities in late September.
Quote:
Yemeni security officials said they believe al-Fayfi may have been a double agent, planted by Saudi Arabia in Yemen among al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula militants to uncover their plots. The officials said that after his return to the kingdom, he told authorities that al-Qaida was planning to send bomb-laden packages.

Nobody is saved because someone died in September in that UPS plane that went down that was a dry run.
