The politically craven surrender to special Muslim pleading does not start and stop with Israel, and did not begin with Jimmy Carter in Teheran. See below, and read link to this truly horrific story (link to article) of official cowardice. It is time that these people have the same privileges, responsibilities, and consequences as everyone else. Read excerpt below:

Retired detective revives unsolved 1972 homicide investigation with book

By BILL HUGHES

THE JOURNAL NEWS

(Original Publication: October 8, 2006)

Nearly 35 years after the fact, it still reads like a fiction movie. Four New York City police officers rush into a mosque in Harlem, responding to a call of an officer in need of assistance. The doors are locked behind them,they are surrounded, beaten, stomped and one is fatally shot with a policeman's service revolver, possibly his own. A phalanx of responding officers storms the building, herding 16 suspects into a basement room.

Outside the building, a crowd grows, first hurling insults, then bottles, bricks and burning rags. Within minutes, commanding officers order all police personnel out of the building, leaving all the suspects and evidence behind. After that, all white police officers are ordered to leave the area, leaving a handful of African-American cops to face an out-of-control mob.

Before Patrolman Phil Cardillo died from his injuries six days later, the department issued statements implying he was at fault for entering the mosque and that he could have shot himself or been shot by one of his fellow officers. After Cardillo's death, Mayor John Lindsay and Police Commissioner Patrick Murphy refused to attend his funeral.

For many current and former members of the NYPD, April 14, 1972, stands as one of the darkest days in the history of the department.

Now, at the age of "60-something," the Westchester County resident is adding nonfiction author to his lengthy resume with the publication of "Circle of Six," co-written with another retired NYPD detective, Robert Cea. The book presents a raw, unvarnished, insider's perspective of the events surrounding the incident and its aftermath, albeit a decidedly one-sided version.

The title refers to the six people the authors blame for the fact that Cardillo's death remains an unsolved homicide to this day, including the former mayor and police commissioner, along with U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan, former Deputy Commissioner Benjamin Ward and Chief of the Department Michael Codd.

According to the book, those six were instrumental in ordering all of the police out of the mosque, which resulted in evidence being tampered with or destroyed and no suspects being identified or interviewed. During the riot that ensued, Jurgensen was hit in the head with a brick, a moment captured in a dramatic photograph by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Eddie Adams that ran on the front page of The Daily News and The Reporter Dispatch, a precurser to this newspaper.

*snip*'

According to the book, Rangel had worked out a deal between Farrakhan, Ward and others to bring all the potential suspects to a police precinct later in the day for questioning in exchange for having all the police leave the mosque immediately.

The police left, but the mosque members were never brought in for questioning.

*snip*

Even though more than 1,000 people were in the streets to protest the police presence in the mosque, Lindsay was so image conscious that he demanded that the disturbance wasn't big enough to be referred to as a riot and, by not attending Cardillo's funeral, he became a reviled figure among the police rank and file and their families.

I guess no one finds this an outrage.

An outrage yes, surprising no.

1972 was a key year in many respects in the world's race to the moral bottom:

  1. Nixon goes to Peking, in order to sell out a reliable US ally for November votes;
  2. Nixon goes to Moscow, in order to sell out US security and well-being for euphoria about peace and November votes;
  3. Nixon sells wheat to Russians at bargain prices to Russians, to appease Communists
  4. Nixon goes to Ottawa, trolling for US votes in election;
  5. Jane Fonda goes to Hanoi, makes treasonous broadcasts to demoralize US POW's;
  6. Nixon was re-elected despite the fetid swamps of Watergate and general thuggery;
  7. Mass media coddled the Palestinians after the Olympic Massacre (I'll e-mail PDF's of articles showing the support after that horror, if you PM or e-mail me);
  8. Bobby Fischer won the chess championship despite violating every rule in the book in order to unsettle Spassky, made the tournament a circus

The list goes on

Many Canadians have expressed surprise that the US is also infected with the deadly disease of political correctness.

Actually that's where it came from before we were infected. You might be surprised to find out that it originally came from 1920's Germany where its various components were conceived in a school called the Frankfurt school.

I'm not surprised. In the US it came and went. I guess it hasn't left Frankfurt or Canada yet.
