It is my understanding, correct me, please, if I am wrong. That if one is a 'convicted felon' one cannot have a US Passport. So how come he has one.. or were his felonies in other countries and therefore not counted so to speak?

I love the part in his blog about being the youngest GB ever....... and he uses the GB words, NOT QP or SF.... that pretty much says it all doesn't it?

TS, you owe me bigtime.. first you bann Bangladesh and then they come visiting my Laptop and bring China and Sri Lanka with them.. Zone Alarm said so... next you close the gloved one thread so I cannot whine about being forced into listening to a couple of hours of his music while being stuck behind a steering quadrant fixing a bilge pump diaphram... and now this... geez..that blog is ten minutes of my life I will never get back, not to mention the bile that rose in my throat as I read. So where's that steak you are gonna owe me.. I will settle for some ribs ...

Since I have never been convicted of a Felony I have never researched that. I would think we would want them to travel and let other countries lock them up. They are a lot harsher than the US.

Convicted felons who have completed their sentence can have passports. If they are still on probation the decision is made by the court.

Hope it was okay to share the info of this blog...since the FIRST paragraph of his blog yestersay makes my skin crawl...

"Mr. Big is indeed a very large grey haired man who towers over Jack Idema and has a face that reminds one of Winston Churchill. In contrast Jack Idema is an intense smallish man with dark hair who looks every inch the physically fit Special Forces soldier."

Yuk!

Actually, for those of you who have not already looked - the Wikipedia accountof Idema is pretty complete - best of all, it lists over a hundered searchable and linked references that support what is there (both pro and con)..

One thing that also shows up about him is that he learned quickly "in times of national crisis (9/11) for example - the non-stop media is willing to talk to anybody - who appears to be a subject mater expert.

This is clearly discussed, as well as everything prior in the accoutns in this Wikipedia article.

Al-Qaida predicts Obama's fall by Muslim nation

Al-Qaida predicts Obama's fall by Muslim nation

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090922/...al_qaida_video

"..............The message included a lengthy section on U.S. prisons and torture facilities and showed footage of what appeared to be an American torturing an Afghan for information by dunking his head into a bucket of water.

The SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors extremist Web sites, identified the person conducting the torture as Jonathan Keith Idema, who also appeared in last year's al-Qaida video................."

I know it's old video but if you do it and it's on tape it will be around forever. Also, if you do something for training and tape it others can take it out of context and try and present it as something or an idea that is not true.

That's it! Al-Qaida is now in big (legal) trouble! You can bet your ass the moron known as Jonathan Keith Idema will be suing them in international court next week for those statements!
