When someone desecrates veteran’s graves and burns flags, replacing them with swastikas, you know that ”peace” movement leftists must be around. In the previous update I speculated about Code Pink, and guess what I found on the San Juan Islander web site?

Atlas has a story up about Bill Warner being sued for reporting on potential links to terrorism, from Atlas:
