The idea Lugovoi was an assassin is an interesting one, except the fact he was not a Putin supporter, was an ally of Boris Berezovsky and was working business opportunities with Litvinenko for over a year. Other than that he is the perfect candidate for the Putin directed assassin: He said their relationship became business-like […]

I am loath, like most, to discuss technical possibilities related to terrorist attacks because they can educate the terrorists and give them ideas. At times it leaves me to debate with one hand behind my back – but so be it. But once the media reports then the genie is out of the bottle and […]

Al Zawahiri plans to send a new video message soon. I am not sure, but I think there is a pretty good correlation between these tapes and some new attack on the West. I guess we shall see.

It seems Rumsfeld’s replacement is as bullish on Iraq as The Don himself. Gates is clearly laying down the law – failure is not an option. Neither is surrender in any cutsie variant Mad Murtha can conjure up. And that includes redeployment (a.k.a., an organized retreat). So while Bush and Gates play Churchill, the Dems […]

If you ask U2’s Bono who has more compassion (i.e., the desire to act) for the needy in this world he would probably bluntly tell you Bush is by far the biggest champion, while Congress is home to the cheapskates – especially Democrats. No votes to be bought? Then no interest.

It looks like UK investigators have all they need or can get from the Russians they wanted to interrogate with respect to the Litvinenko investigation, as they seem to be heading back to the UK tomorrow: British detectives probing the murder of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko have wound up their investigation in Moscow and […]

It seems that Al Qaeda is preparing to send undercover warriors into the West, using native Westerners has the undercover Jihadists: Media reports have claimed that Osama bin Laden’s terror outfit Al Qaeda is currently training a 12-member team of Westerners in Pakistan to carry out a special mission. The 12-member squad is likely to […]

It is disturbing when an entire species hits extinction. The Tasmanian Wolf/Tiger was lost in the last century. And it seems the White-fin Dolphin of China may be lost this century. Note the difference between China’s ecological record and that of America’s. We actually lead the world in how cleanly we support large numbers of […]

Finally even the Times UK is now acknowledging that the amount of Polonium-210 used to kill Litvinenko (now down to only $10 million in value) was way beyond what was necessary for assassination, and are facing the possibility this was a smuggling ring gone bad: British investigators believe that Alexander Litvinenko’s killers used more than […]

President Bush’s determined stance on 6 way talks to deal with North Korea’s out of control nuclear program is paying big dividends right now: THE prospects for continued peace in north Asia depend on the six-party talks on North Korea’s nuclear status, which resume in Beijing today after 15 stormy political months on the Korean […]
