TERRORISTS' RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME
November 26, 2008


I thought the rest of the world was going to love us if we elected B. Hussein
Obama! Somebody better tell the Indian Muslims.


As everyone but President-elect B. Hussein Obama's base knows, many of the
Guantanamo detainees cannot be sent to their home countries, cannot be
released and cannot be tried. They need to be held in some form of extra-legal
limbo the rest of their lives, sort of like Phil Spector.


And now they're Obama's problem.


If Obama wants his detention of Islamic terrorists to be dramatically
different from Bush's Guantanamo, my suggestion is that he cut off -- so to
speak -- the expensive prosthetic limb procedures now being granted the
detained terrorists.


Far from being sodomized and tortured by U.S. forces -- as Obama's base has
wailed for the past seven years -- the innocent scholars and philanthropists
being held at Guantanamo have been given expensive, high-tech medical
procedures at taxpayer expense. If we're not careful, multitudes of Muslims
will be going to fight Americans in Afghanistan just so they can go to
Guantanamo and get proper treatment for attention deficit disorder and
erectile dysfunction.


After being captured fighting with Taliban forces against Americans in 2001,
Abdullah Massoud was sent to Guantanamo, where the one-legged terrorist was
fitted with a special prosthetic leg, at a cost of $50,000-$75,000 to the U.S.
taxpayer. Under the Americans With Disabilities Act, Massoud would now be able
to park his car bomb in a handicapped parking space!


No, you didn't read that wrong, because the VA won't pay for your new glasses.

I said $75,000. I would have gone with hanging at sunrise, but what do I know?


Upon his release in March 2004, Massoud hippity-hopped back to Afghanistan and
quickly resumed his war against the U.S. Aided by his new artificial leg, just
months later, in October 2004, Massoud masterminded the kidnapping of two
Chinese engineers in Pakistan working on the Gomal Zam Dam project.


This proved, to me at least, that people with disabilities can do anything
they put their minds to. Way to go, you plucky extremist!


Massoud said he had nothing against the Chinese but wanted to embarrass
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf for cooperating with the Americans. You
know, the Americans who had just footed -- you should pardon the expression --
a $75,000 bill for his prosthetic leg.



Pakistani forces stormed Massoud's hideout, killing all the kidnappers,
including Massoud. Only one of the Chinese engineers was rescued alive.


As a result of the kidnapping, the Chinese pulled all 100 engineers and dam
workers out of Pakistan, and work on the dam ceased. This was bad news for the
people of Pakistan -- but good news for the endangered Pakistani snail darter!


In none of the news accounts I read of Massoud's return to jihad after his
release from Guantanamo is there any mention of the fact that his prosthetic
leg was acquired in Guantanamo, courtesy of American taxpayers after he was
captured trying to kill Americans on the battlefield in Afghanistan.


News about the prosthetic leg might interfere with stories of the innocent aid
workers being held captive at Guantanamo in George Bush's AmeriKKKa.


To the contrary, although Massoud's swashbuckling reputation as a jihadist
with a prosthetic leg appears in many news items, where he got that leg is
almost purposely hidden -- even lied about.


"Abdullah Massoud ... had earned both sympathy and reverence for his time in
Guantanamo Bay. ... Upon his release, he made it home to Waziristan and
resumed his war against the U.S. With his long hair, his prosthetic limb and
impassioned speeches, he quickly became a charismatic inspiration to
Waziristan's youth." -- The New York Times


He's not a one-legged terrorist -- he's a freedom fighter living with a
disability. I think we could all learn something about courage from this man.


"He lost his leg in a landmine explosion a few days before the fall of Kabul
to the Taliban in September 1996. It didn't dampen his enthusiasm as a fighter
and (BEGIN ITALS)he got himself an artificial leg later, says Yusufzai."(END
ITALS) -- The Indo-Asian News Service


Where? At COSTCO?


"The 29-year-old Massoud, who lost his left leg in a landmine explosion while
fighting alongside the Taliban, often used to ride a horse or camel because
his disability made it painful for him to walk long distances in hilly areas."
-- BBC Monitoring South Asia


Side-saddle, I'm guessing. And you just know those caves along the
Afghan-Pakistan border aren't wheelchair accessible.


"He was educated in Peshawar and was treated in Karachi after his left leg was
blown up in a landmine explosion in the Wreshmin Tangi gorge near Kabul in
September 1996. He now walks with an artificial leg specifically made for him
in Karachi." -- Gulf News (United Arab Emirates)


Karachi? Hey, how do I get into this guy's HMO?


They can't lick leprosy in Karachi, but the Gulf News tells us Massoud got his
artificial leg at one of their specialty hospitals.


Anyone who thinks the Guantanamo detainees can be released without consequence
doesn't have a leg to stand on.
