    Rashard Mendenhall is an uneducated pinhead.

    I apologize to anyone I unintentionally harmed with anything that I said, or any hurtful interpretation that was made.

    Was it the "White House narrative" or was it reporters caring more about being first than being accurate?

    Either way, seriously, I do not see the "typical partisan bickering" on this thread. There are questions being bantied about and, yes, some accusations of bias and partisanship. But, jeez, what the heck do people want...70+ pages of "Yeah! We got him! High-five!"

    Early clubhouse leader for "Teacher of the Year" ... *blue font off*

    Teacher in Houston put on administrative leave after telling a Muslim student, "I bet you're grieving over your uncle's death."

    In the wake of Osama bin Laden's demise, is al Qaeda falling apart?

    The Saudi Interior Ministry said today that a senior al Qaeda member on Riyadh's most-wanted list named Khaled al-Qahtani called from abroad and turned himself in.

    "Interior Ministry's spokesman Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki said in a statement Wednesday that Khaled Hathal Abdullah al-Atifi al-Qahtani contacted the security authorities from an undisclosed country and expressed his wish to come home," the Associated Press reports.

    "Al-Qahtani was reunited with his family and his surrender will be taken into consideration while looking into his case, Al-Turki said."

    The Saudi Interior Ministry spokesman did not indicate when Khaled al-Qahtani gave himself up, but many members of the group's Yemeni wing, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), have recently fled from Yemen, the AP writes.
