Well, it looks like the investigation into who leaked the NSA surveillance program against Al Qaeda members overseas (and as a by product, who they talk to here in the US) has added a new member. Mac Ranger picked up on Sen Jay Rockefeller when his name appeared in the original NY Times story last […]

I cannot recall who posted on the newly released Battleground Poll (most likely RCP) so I cannot give a hat tip, but I wanted to expand on their observation that America is losing its respect and confidence in Washington DC, as highlighted in Ed Goes’ (R) assessment of the poll results: The bottom line is […]

America, in a fit if Ayrab fear over the DPW stock buy out of a British company, is risking so much in listening to the facsist nuts like Michael Savage (now an advisor to Democrat Sen Harry Reid). The potential of someone slipping though all the security arrangements now in place with The UAE and […]

Terrorists target innocent, unarmed people (like children) primarily because they are gutless cowards. They will not attack armed forces because they will lose. What they do is find useful idiots who they brain-wash and send them out to die. You will never see Bin Laden dressed to kill. Arafat died of old age – no […]

Why do we need The UAE as an ally both commercially and with regards to security? Listen to the experts, one of whom commented on this site most intelligently about what is a real threat and what is a politically made up threat: Since I work in the cargo industry, I am not surpised in […]

What do China’s President, Sandy Berger and US Port Security have in common? More importantly, why should they have anything in common! Sandy Berger is a confessed thief of national security information which he claims he destroyed using scissors in his office (was the shredder not working?). China is not an ally of the form […]

People see what they want to see in issues I guess. I was reading Tom Blevan’s latest panic attack on RCP and it still strikes me how few people understand how the Federal Government works and how security issues work. Until I started blogging I had no idea how unique my knowledge was after being […]

I’m very sorry for the broken RSS feed problem since the upgrade to WordPress 2.0.1. I thought I was doing the smart thing and not upgrading to 2.0 until they had at least one bug fix release out (2.0.1). This was definitely a WordPress bug and I’ve implemented the fix. It works for me on […]

The AP has to be one of the dimmest bulbs in the news media these days.  In a piece straight out of Orwell’s 1984 they attempt to rewrite the history of Katrina regarding who was sounding the warning bells and who was ignoring the threat. On the eve of Hurricane Katrina’s fateful landfall, President Bush […]

Kieth Phucas, writing in the Norristown Times Herald uncovers some critical timeline data regarding Able Danger and The China study [hat tip Vi at Able Danger Blog] and the purging of data (and work and contractors) at LIWA. I had assumed the terrorist study, known as Able Danger, had started prior to the China technology […]
