Fox News<\/a> reports that the White House has finally ordered that flags fly at half-staff until July 25th. I can’t find anything on it at the White House website, but there it is.<\/p>\n

In a proclamation issued early Tuesday afternoon, Obama said of the Chattanooga victims, “We honor their service. We offer our gratitude to the police officers and first responders who stopped the rampage and saved lives. We draw strength from yet another American community that has come together with an unmistakable message to those who would try and do us harm: We do not give in to fear. You cannot divide us. And you will not change our way of life.” <\/p>\n

He ordered flags flown at half-staff at the White House and “all public buildings and grounds,” as well as over military posts and naval stations and vessels — until July 25. Flags will be flown at half-staff at U.S. embassies and other overseas diplomatic offices. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congress leaders are already on the ball, so it was only a matter of time before the White House got on board, but it appears that it happened reluctantly, or, like I said, there would have been something on the White House website already – they had more than five days to do something. <\/p>\n

Editor’s Note:<\/strong> My mistake, there is a Proclamation on the website now<\/a>, that wasn’t there when I wrote this.<\/p>\n

Abdel Qader al-Khatib told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he was barred from seeing his client and that family members were prevented from visiting. Al-Khatib identified his client as Asaad Ibrahim Abdulazeez Haj Ali, a maternal uncle of the Tennessee attacker, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
