(NBC) –Attorney General Eric Holder signed off on a controversial search warrant that identified Fox News reporter James Rosen as a “possible co-conspirator” in violations of the Espionage Act and authorized seizure of his private emails, a law enforcement official told NBC News on Thursday.

The disclosure of the attorney general’s role came as President Barack Obama, in a major speech on his counterterrorism policy, said Holder had agreed to review Justice Department guidelines governing investigations that involve journalists.

“I am troubled by the possibility that leak investigations may chill the investigative journalism that holds government accountable,” Obama said. “Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs.”
……
A Justice Department spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Department of Justice later issued a statement about the review of media guidelines: “This review is consistent with Attorney General Holder’s long-standing belief that freedom of the press is essential to our democracy,” it said. “At the same time, the attorney general believes that leaks of classified information damage our national security and must be investigated using appropriate law enforcement tools.  We remain steadfast in our commitment to following all laws and regulations intended to safeguard national security as well as the First Amendment interests of the press in reporting the news and the public in receiving it.”
……
It also said that Google was specifically instructed not to notify “the subscriber” — Rosen — that his emails were being seized.

In new documents disclosed Thursday, the Justice Department sought and obtained approval to keep the search warrant, which was approved by a federal magistrate, under seal. It was unsealed in November 2011, but never made a part of the docket of Kim’s case and went unnoticed until this week.[...]

A group of Muslims called ‘Muslims against Crusades’ offended the whole of Britain on Remembrance day by burning our sacred poppy.
This was on the 11th November 2010 at 11 o’clock in Central London.
The Muslims shouted chants such as ‘British soldiers burn in Hell’.

The Muslims are a disgrace to the UK.

R.I.P Lee Rigby

Drummer Lee Rigby – the soldier killed close to Woolwich Barracks, in south-east London – was “a bubbly character” and “loving father”, the MoD has said.

The 25-year-old, from Middleton, Greater Manchester, had been in the 2nd Battalion Royal Regiment of Fusiliers since 2006.

Neighbours on the Langley Estate, where he grew up, spoke of their “shock” and “disbelief” at his death and talked of a “wonderful lad”.

One thought Drummer Rigby had been due to return home soon to see his mother.
……
Another neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: “He had always wanted to be in the Army since he was knee high.”

The Manchester United fan, who was born in Crumpsall, Manchester, had a two-year-old son called Jack.
‘Highly popular’
……
Floral tributes have been left at the barracks with messages of sympathy for the soldier and his family.
……
In April 2009 he was deployed for the first time to Helmand province, Afghanistan, where he served as a member of the Fire Support Group in Patrol Base Woqab.

Lee survived his deployment in Afghanistan yet was not safe walking down the street in broad daylight back home. Slaughtered by the very muslim scum he fought against in the ‘Stan.

Keep bowing to the enemy people, it has worked out great so far. Spit.

Quran (8:12) – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore *strike off their heads* and strike off every fingertip of them” No reasonable person would interpret this to mean a ‘spiritual struggle’ (whitewashed version of jihad -ed.) Source: TROP

(Ynet) British Prime Minister David Cameron said the brutal killing of a soldier who was hacked to death in London by two men shouting Jihadist slogans was a betrayal of Islam.

“We will never give in to terror or terrorism in any of its forms,” Cameron told reporters outside his Downing Street residence on Thursday.

Oh yes you do. Psst…bowing in submission is –GIVING IN (GIVING UP-SURRENDERING):

“This was not just an attack on Britain and on the British way of life, it was also a betrayal of Islam and of the Muslim communities who give so much to our country. There is nothing in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act.”

……

One of the men who carried out the attack was British-born and of Nigerian descent, a source with knowledge of the investigation said. The other man may also be British with a Nigerian background, the source told Reuters. British media has identified one of the men as Michael Adebolajo, citing police sources.

Sir Winston would disagree: “No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.” “Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.”

Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 (London: Longmans, Green | 1899

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.

The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”

(Present) UK PM David Cameron’s testicular fortitude = raisins

(Former) UK PM Sir Winston Churchill’s testicular fortitude = stones

Update: Bridget Johnson reports at The PJ Tattler:

Al-Qaeada-linked Somali terror group Al-Shabaab disagreed with that in a series of tweets from its official media arm this morning.

It is not a “betrayal” of Islam as he’d put it but rather a “portrayal” of Islam. Don’t expect Muslims to simply turn the other cheek!

**GRAPHIC** Video Of Islamic Jihadist Swearing To Allah Who Beheaded A Soldier In Woolwich London [Update: “We want to start a war in London tonight”]

A dramatic video tonight emerged of a man with bloodied hands, carrying knives and ranting ‘We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you’, after a serving soldier was hacked to death by two men just 200 yards from an Army barracks.

The man can be seen and heard talking to the camera. The video came as terrified eyewitnesses saw two men shot by police marksmen after the machete attack in Woolwich, south-east London.

The two men are thought to have waited around for 20 minutes until Metropolitan Police officers arrived and then tried to attack them – but were swiftly shot by armed policemen, including a woman.

They apparently shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’, which means ‘God is great’ in Arabic, and tried to film the attack, the BBC’s political editor Nick Robinson said.
……
This afternoon the area’s MP, Nick Raynsford, told BBC Radio 5 Live he believed the victim, a man aged in his 20s, was a serving soldier.

The man is believed to have been hacked to death after a car crash. The scene of the attack is just 200 yards from Woolwich Barracks.

Mr Raynsford said: ‘We think a serving soldier was the victim. We don’t know the circumstances surrounding the incident. We do know a number of weapons have been seized.

‘They include a gun, various knives, and a machete, apparently. The police clearly had to take action in order to try and arrest these individuals.’

He also told Channel 4 News: ‘It is my understanding this man was a serving soldier based at the barracks. He had been on duty in central London and was making his way back to the barracks.’

A mother-of-two described tonight how she put her own life on the line by trying to persuade the soldier’s murderers to hand over their weapons.

Cub scout leader Ingrid Loyau-Kennett selflessly engaged the terrorists in conversation and kept her nerve as one of them told her: “We want to start a war in London tonight.”
……
Mrs Loyau-Kennett, 48, from Cornwall, was one of the first people on the scene after the two Islamic extremists butchered a soldier in Woolwich, south east London.

She was photographed by onlookers confronting one of the attackers who was holding a bloodied knife.

“Being a cub leader I have my first aid so when I saw this guy on the floor I thought it was an accident then I saw the guy was dead and I could not feel any pulse.

“And then when I went up there was this black guy with a revolver and a kitchen knife, he had what looked like butcher’s tools and he had a little axe, to cut the bones, and two large knives and he said ‘move off the body’.
……
“I asked him if he did it and he said yes and I said why? And he said because he has killed Muslim people in Muslim countries, he said he was a British soldier and I said really and he said ‘I killed him because he killed Muslims and I am fed up with people killing Muslims in Afghanistan they have nothing to do there.” [...]

Bentivolio: You went to law school. Did you study the Constitution?

Shulman: I believe I took Constitutional law, but I’m not prepared to take an exam at this time. Meaning I’ll answer any of your question but I can’t promise that I’m an expert.

Bentivolio: “Well, you know the First, Second Amendment and one of my favorites, the 19th, right? You know those?

Shulman: Excuse me.

Bentivolio: You know those amendments. The Constitutional amendments? You know the First, you know the Second, and you know the 19th?

Shulman: I don’t necessarily have the Constitution memorized, sir.

Bentivolio: Ok, well, they’re pretty general in what each one is.

Bentivolio: Like the First Amendment is the freedom of the press, freedom of religion, and freedom to petition the government for a redress of grievances. First Amendment, right?”

Shulman: I really can’t recite the Constitution, sir.
