Mark Dankof's America

Mark Dankof is a broadcaster for the Republic Broadcasting Network. A member of the Taft/Buchanan wing of the Republican Party historically, his radio show and print op-ed productions for BATR's Columnist Guild and the American Free Press warn of the dangers of a takeover of the American Republic by the advocates of globalism, central banking, and World Zionism. He is a severe critic of the Bush Administration's War on Terror, the influence of Jewish Neo-Conservatives on American foreign policy and culture, and the increasing utilization of American military might abroad as a first resort rather than the last. Like Mark Glenn and Michael Collins Piper of the American Free Press, Dankof represents a minority viewpoint within the American Right Wing in advocating an independent, autonomous Palestinian State and the serious curtailment of the domestic influence of the Israeli lobby in the government and news media of the United States.

Mark Dankof to Attorney General Mukasey: Free Dr. Sami Al-Arian

13 March 2008



The Honorable Michael B. Mukasey
Attorney General of the United States
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20530-0001
(202) 307-6777 Fax

Dear Mr. Mukasey:

I write you today to request that Dr. Sami Al-Arian be freed from his federal detention center, effective immediately.

I became familiar with the Al-Arian case through interviewing Dr. Al-Arian's wife, Nahla, for a radio broadcast aired on the Republic Broadcasting Network.  I have also followed the details of the case through news updates provided by the Washington Report for Middle East Affairs (WRMEA) and other agencies.

As I see it, the two (2) salient points are as follows.  First, Dr. Al-Arian has been convicted of absolutely nothing in an American court of law.  The lion's share of the federal charges against him were rejected by a jury of his peers in the State of Florida.  While the remaining charges against him resulted in a hung jury, it is noteworthy that the vast majority of the sitting jurors voted for complete acquittal on these accusations as well.  

Let me be absolutely clear about who it is that writes your office today.  I am an orthodox Lutheran pastor and a Pat Buchanan Republican.  I am an endowed Life Member of the National Rifle Association.  My father is a retired United States Air Force Colonel with 32 years of active duty service to his country.  No credible person this side of Fox News and The Weekly Standard would possibly accuse me of being anti-American or pro-terrorist.

As one who is proud to be an American, I am, however, pro-Constitution and pro-Bill of Rights, which means that I possess the Constitutional presumptions of individual innocence until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, the sustenance of habeas corpus, and the rejection of the acceptability of the physical and psychological torture of suspects.  The Al-Arian case is especially noteworthy since the complete absence of adherence to said Constitutional foundations in this specific instance, is not simply a threat to this man's "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", but a potential threat to the life and liberty of any American accused of subversive activities and crimes, minus due process of law--the domestic machinations of the Israeli Lobby notwithstanding.

Let your office and the Congress of the United States work to restore our most basic and cherished principles as Americans.  The American public has had enough of Patriot Acts; the Military Commissions Act; NSA warrantless electronic surveillance; and the insistence of the current Presidential administration that it retains the prerogative to employ any form of surveillance or surreptitious entry it so desires against anyone in this country, without regard for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) provisions for judicial review and the foundational presuppositions of the Founding Fathers.

And let this entire recovery of what we once stood for in the land we love, begin with the release of Dr. Sami Al-Arian.


Sincerely,



Pastor Mark Dankof
