Gravel Urges Crowd to Stalk Prosecutor in Terror Case

The disgusting events of Al-Arian show up how much our Leftwing citizens WANT to believe that all this terrorist hokum is just another word for Jim Crow aimed at arabs. Al-Arian has the blood of Jewish babies on his hands. Gravel, Delahunt and the others that have been so impolitic as to explicitly go over to the jihadi side are only the tip of the iceberg. The simple fact is that Democrat elites hold George Bush and his hellish followers to be TRUE enemies. These guys blowing up pizza parlors? We can work with them.

So, where does Gravel live? Where do his kids go to school? Where is his office? Picket him all the time. Call him a Marxist. Call him violent. Call him criminal. Be in his face all the time.

Since I used to admire John Cage, I liked Ravel's conceptual TV spot, where he remained silent for two minutes and just stared at the camera. Like some attractive women, he ruins everything when he opens his mouth.

I'll put him down as another rag-head lover in the government.

I think the prosecutor should have Gravel arrested for a) obstruction of justice b) aiding and abetting a felony and inciting illegal behavior This is UNACCEPTABLE and needs to be address to the full extent of the law.

Mike Gravel has been seriously wounded by 4th generation warfare.'

Colonel T.X. Hammes, USMC (ret) is the author of The Sling and the Stone: On War in the 21st Century (Zenith Press, 2006) and an expert on insurgent, "4th generation warfare".

Hammes, who served in Iraq in 2004, explains that what America is facing in most of our current conflicts and what we are likely to face in future ones differs profoundly from war as we used to know it. In a conventional conflict (first, second and third generation warfare) military forces opposed enemy military forces, and battlefield victories ultimately brought the war to a definite endpoint. Although the weaponry and the way battles were waged through history differ, the formula remained the same.

In contrast, irregular conflicts (fourth and fifth generation warfare and beyond) rely more on destroying an opponents' political will rather than defeating the opponent's forces on the field of battle. Fourth generation warriors achieve success through skillful use of the media, co-opting opposition leaders, wreaking economic havoc and inflicting casualties on their opponents that are not significant enough to win the conflict in the conventional sense, but are frightening and dispiriting enough to convince the opposing public to demand an end to the conflict. These wars are political, protracted (measured in decades), networked and focus on attacking the minds of the enemy. Emphasizing technology over human resources, America's traditional hierarchical military structures tend to perform abysmally against fourth generation actors.

Fourth generation warfare (4GW) traces its origins to Michael Collins and the Irish Republican Army but was codified by Mao Tse Tung in his groundbreaking pamphlet Guerilla Warfare. Mao employed 4GW tactics to defeat Chiang Kai Shek's Nationalist armies for control of China, and Ho Chi Minh used Guerilla Warfare as a blueprint for the war against South Vietnam.

But 4GW is hardly the stuff of history books, and many of its core strategies are employed by today's counterinsurgents, including al Qaeda and Hezbollah. During his presentation, Hammes noted that an al Qaeda website was the first to provide extensive quotes from Hammes' own work on insurgent warfare, and Ayman al Zawahiri (a significant al Qaeda leader) observed that more than half of the battle takes place in the media. In 4GW fashion, al Zawahiri recognized the relative importance of political victories over military ones in asymmetric conflicts and the media's role in securing those political victories.

Presiding over a superb multi-media campaign, al Qaeda releases ads within 30 minutes of its attacks. The ads target a variety of audiences: supporters, those with the potential to become supporters and the citizenry of the opposition. Hezbollah also showed a shrewd understanding of how to manipulate the media during their summer 2006 conflict with Israel and put the requisite financial resources toward it -- $15-20 million a year toward the Hezbollah television station, Al-Manar TV, which was greater than Israel's entire public diplomacy budget. Skillful use of public opinion enabled Hezbollah to turn the conflict from one of Israeli self-defense to "Israel's destruction of Lebanon."

And with technological advances and tactical reassessments, 4GW and its practitioners continue to evolve. While Mao and Ho Chi Minh believed that conventional conflict was the third and final phase to winning a fourth generation conflict, current fourth generation warriors see military victory as superfluous - a political victory is sufficient to win the war. Today's insurgents see a strategic communication campaign (engaging key audiences) buttressed by a military and terror campaign as the most effective strategy.

They have already convinced Gravel that the so called war on terrorism is really US imperialism.

Karl Rove must be their consultant.

For your reading pleasure Mr. Gravel, below is a snippet of Title 18 Part I Chapter 73 Section 1503 of the US Code. Enjoy.

["(a) Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, endeavors to influence, intimidate, or impede any grand or petit juror, or officer in or of any court of the United States [snip] ... or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice, shall be punished as provided in subsection (b). If the offense under this section occurs in connection with a trial of a criminal case, and the act in violation of this section involves the threat of physical force or physical force, the maximum term of imprisonment [snip]

(b) The punishment for an offense under this section is--
(1) in the case of a killing, the punishment provided in sections 1111 and 1112;
(2) in the case of an attempted killing, or a case in which the offense was committed against a petit juror and in which a class A or B felony was charged, imprisonment for not more than 20 years, a fine under this title, or both; and
(3) in any other case, imprisonment for not more than 10 years, a fine under this title, or both."]

If only GW's Justice Dept would take just one case like this and make an example, this nonsense would have come to a grinding halt long ago. I hear Fitzgerald has some free time on his hands. What do you say, Mister President?

Find out where Gravel lives, find out where his kids go to school, find out where his office is, picket him all the time,

"Call him a racist in signs if you see him. Call him an injustice to the victims of moslem hatred, predudice of anyone not moslem, a usurper of Justice. Call him whatever you want to call him, but in his face all the time."

See how he likes the attention put on his family. What,s good for the goose....

Picketing someone's home is not legitimate political expression no matter who the target is, because the message it sends is "We Know Where You Live". It is terrorism and ought to be absolutely banned. It should be similarly illegal to share someone else's home address without his consent.

The only good side of this story is that, just maybe, it will create new court precedents that do ban those things.
