The case of the three Texas men arrested on terrorism charges with hundreds of cell phones is going to be one to watch. Prosecutors are not shying away from their claim these men were part of an effort to take down a major bridge: Tuscola County prosecutors have filed terrorism-related charges against three Texas men […]

Lee Hamilton was on MTP and made the idiotic claim that resources being used in Iraq were diverting resources from protecting us here – and it was another in a long line of dumb soundbites. The discussion was on the lack of elements in the airport protection. But what in the world are we going […]

David Gregory sat in for Russert on MTP and asked Homeland Security head Chertoff a question about the coordinated efforts between the US and UK. Chertoff’s response was the ability to foil the attacks was due to trust and respect between the US an dUK intelligence agencies. Chertoff noted that the information was shared openly […]

Some articles today (H/T RCP) are showing how the Lamont debacle is going to impact the Democrats given the news of the massive airline terror plot that was stopped in the UK and the fact more terrorists are still out there. The first article is a clear headed discussion on the polarization of the two […]

The Dearborne Duo who were arrested for having 600 cell phones and $11,000 dollars in cash on them are rightfully suspect.

The New York Times is in full delusional fantasy mode as they try and compare the rise of the conservative movement with the immature rantings eminating from Kos and DU posters. Like the current Democratic insurgency, the conservative movement was driven by activists who combined journalism with partisanship. Just as today’s insurgents often post their […]

I was surprised to find a very rational and reasoned discussion of why the US must continue to gather intel and disperse leads to law enforcement in the manner we have been doing since we corrected a lot of quaint and dangerous legal theories after 9-11. This article in the New Republic explains well why […]

I agree with the reader at Powerline that news reports regarding a recent letter from UK Muslim leaders to PM Blair and other UK leaders basically says “change your ME policies, or else”: Dr Bari, secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain and one of the signatories, said: “As Muslims we condemn attacks on […]

The Seattle Post Intelligencer is reporting again that financial monitoring, of the exact same kind exposed by the NY Times recently in a fit of Bush Derangement Syndrome as a ‘legal’ and ‘successful’ program, was key to exposing the plot details and the arrests. Investigators on three continents worked to fill in the full, frightening […]
