Mike Beebe has directed that flags fly at half-staff on Monday to honor Pvt. William Long, a new soldier who was fatally shot outside an Army-Navy recruiting center this week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, his murderer was in court;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Defendant Abdulhakim Muhammad was in a Little Rock courtroom Friday morning to have a defense attorney formally appointed to his case.<\/p>\n<p>Muhammad has pleaded not guilty to capital murder. He stood silent during the court hearing &#8211; though lawyer Jim Hensley had said previously that his client had wanted to make a statement or hold a news conference to \u201cexplain himself.\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although you won&#8217;t read it in any of the so-called mainstream media, since they&#8217;re too busy fawning over their martyred abortion doctor, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.katv.com\/news\/stories\/0609\/628704.html\">PVT Long&#8217;s funeral is scheduled for Monday<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Griffin Leggett Funeral Home in Conway says the family of Pvt. William Long will hold a public funeral at 10:00 a.m. Monday at the Harlan Park Baptist Church in Conway. The funeral home says Long will be buried at the Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery in North Little Rock at noon Monday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The story about the funeral also reprints a supposed statement from the White House;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I am deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence against two brave young soldiers who were doing their part to strengthen our armed forces and keep our country safe. I would like to wish Quinton Ezeagwula a speedy recovery, and to offer my condolences and prayers to William Long\u2019s family as they mourn the loss of their son.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I say &#8220;supposed&#8221; because there&#8217;s no record of an official <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing_room\/PressReleases\/\">statement from the White House on the website<\/a>. However, there is a statement on the murder of the Left&#8217;s newest martyr, but nothing about PVT Long.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> Rurik sends an email with links to <a href=\"http:\/\/directorblue.blogspot.com\/2009\/06\/mosque-in-memphis-and-eric-holder.html\">Doug Ross<\/a> who uncovers the reason that the Administration isn&#8217;t particularly interested in the murderer Bledsoe.
