John Murtha Echoes Dean: We Can’t Win In Iraq

As Democrats continue to bristle at being called a bunch of defeatists Rep. John Murtha gives us all another reason to tag them with that title:

"There's no way you can win a war when not only have you lost the hearts and minds of people, when you have become their enemy," Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., said during a press conference at the Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia.


Too bad for Democrats that the people of Iraq don't share Rep. Murtha's feelings.

As close as we are to victory in Iraq what else can we call this defeatism but a blatant attempt to undermine American foreign policy for the sake of political gain?

You are right, don. We already won the war. Now we are working toward giving the people of Iraq the chance to rule their own country. The war on terror moves on to the next theater of operations. Where that will be is the question we should all be focusing on.

IMMIGRATION JUDGES ESCAPE FEDERAL PROSECUTION FOR BRINGING CONTRABAND AS DEFINED BY 28 CFR 511.11(c) INTO A FACILITY THAT HOUSES FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS INMATES AND DEPT. OF HOMELAND SECURITY DETAINEES.

IS THIS PRESIDENT BUSH’S IDEA OF FIGHTING TERRORISM BY BRINGING BOOZE INTO A FACILITY THAT HOUSES SUSPECTED TERRORISTS, WHERE IS THE CONCERN FOR SECURITY?

This is to notify you that the Executive Office for Immigration Review (Director Kevin Rooney in particular) turned a blind eye to Immigration Judges smuggling booze into a facility that houses both Federal Bureau of Prisons inmates and Dept. of Homeland Security detainees.

28 CFR 511.12(a) states, “...it is a Federal crime to bring upon the institution grounds any...intoxicants....”

However, the court of appeals for the federal circuit, even though provided with a copy of the Dept. of Justice Schedule of Disciplinary Offenses which lists possession of intoxicants as an offense decided the MSPB judge did not error in determining that I could not have reasonably believed that things listed as offenses are actually offenses (Schoenrogge v. Justice, 05-3135) which is one of the reasons I am in the process of filing before the Supreme Court.

Immigration Judges Sean H. Keenan, Thomas M. O’Leary and John Davis violated federal law and brought booze into a facility, located in Eloy, Arizona that houses both BOP inmates and DHS detainees.

They were not disciplined in anyway.

The whistleblower however had his signature forged on a promise to appear that was used as grounds for his removal (MSPB Docket no. DE-0752-03-0465-I-1 statement of facts and issues exhibits D to G).  Check that signature against the hundreds of certificates of service I signed while working for the Immigration Court, it is a clear forgery.

The same whistleblower had his calls to agency counsels Brooke Grandle and Charles Smith in which he reported acts of reprisal, falsification of computer records, wrongdoing and witness intimidation termed as inappropriate conduct and used as one of the basis for his removal.

The allegation of witness intimidation involved my being called to testify on behalf of Elizabeth Sanchez in the discrimination matter she had filed against the agency (Dept. of Justice docket no. B-00-2377) and the Supervisory Legal Assistant’s (Shirley Coolbaugh) attempts to influence my testimony in that matter.

A review of the transcripts of calls will reveal that the acts of Ms. Coolbaugh and the failure of the counsel representing the agency (Charles Smith) to stop the acts of witness intimidation resulted in my contacting Mr. Smith and volunteering to submit evidence against the person who had called me as a witness (Ms. Sanchez).  In my filing with the Supreme Court I will be alleging that this violated the due process rights of Ms. Sanchez.

It gets even better.  Chief Immigration Judge Creppy in his decision to remove me from federal service invented a prior finding of guilty to misconduct involving alcohol.  I have never been charged with any alcohol related offenses and Mr. Creppy knows this based on a document he signed (statement of facts and issues exhibit N).

The alleged prior misconduct in question was my off duty contacting of medical personnel that Assistant Chief Immigration Judge Robert Owens termed as disruptive in an attempt to fire me in December 1997 because I had filed complaints against him and others.  Judge Creppy (based on the brief and exhibits in that matter prepared on my behalf by Immigration Judge Jack Staton (statement of facts and issues exhibits A1-A133)) signed a document (exhibit N) stating no decision would be made and that the matter was moot.

Mr. Creppy it would appear is less than honest.  Since he knowingly made false statements in court documents one could say he comitted perjury.  Of course it is begining to appear that dishonesty is a requirement to become an Immigration Judge.  Which is sad, because there are good and decent Judges out there that I have worked with.

As screwed up as the Executive Office for Immigration Review has become under Director Rooney do you think any action will ever be taken against these Judges for bringing booze into a federal prison in violation of federal law, or against Mr. Creppy for knowingly making false statements?

I do not know if this is worth your time to look into this matter, I hope you will.

it as is. And they justify their traitorous calls for retreat (and many other foul behaviors) with their disdain for “the current administration”. Let’s start this one with more pronouncements of doom by (current) leading Democrat and media darling - John Murtha (D-Mogadishu) on our fight for victory:  “There’s no way you can win a war when not only have you lost the hearts and minds of people, when you have become their enemy,” Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., said during a press conference at the Ritz Carlton
