A world without the U.S. would be a sorrier world indeed, especially when leadership in humanitarian causes is needed. http://www.canoe.ca\NewsStand\Columnists\Toronto\Peter_Worthington\2005\01\0 3\806494.html Whenever and wherever disaster strikes on the globe, the U.S. responds immediately with relief and medical supplies as they have in Asia, writes Peter Worthington By PETER WORTHINGTON -- For the Toronto Sun Thank goodness for the Americans. What would this wor...
By Ryan Mauro There is no doubt that the Soviet Union played a tremendous role in the expansion and evolution of Islamic terrorism. Many of the people responsible for the policy of promoting fundamentalist miliancy still hold key positions in Russia. People can accept the fact that there are "anti-Bush" cliques inside the CIA and State Department, and the fact that there are "pro-Bin Laden" cliques in the Pakistani military ISI. Yet, for some strange reason, they cannot accept the f...
Doubts about the Terror War have taken the strangest forms of late. Many who are against the war in Iraq and critical of the War on Terror have begun using a favorite tool of fiscal conservatives to question military and homeland security expenditures. And it would seem to be a clever and plausible move (albeit a little hypocritical). In short, critics are asking whether we should spend so much money on the military and homeland security. Is it overkill -- or more aptly, perhaps, ov...
Key players are fleeing for the private sector and other agencies in droves, even as the bureau struggles to meet post-9/11 standards. Why??? Because of the money!! The govt is out-sourcing almost everything area of intel and analysis. Why should we make minimum when we can take a contractor job and make much more. The vendor then sells us back to the govt and we end up doing the same task/job. The only difference is that we don't get benefits and health..... In the long run, it is che...
Interesting article from a guy who teaches political science at Tehran University. But, the fact remains that Iran is pursuing WMD and we are in Iraq for the duration. Iran is playing terrorist supporter and even recruiter. I personally think that "W" is trying hard to keep Iran on the radar scope but his advisors realize that we can't handle another front. NK is on-hold as they are isolated from Russia, China, and SK/US. Iran is now the front-runner for supporting terrorism. Syria is a...
No, we usually wore what the locals wore to fit in. Many a day blue jeans and t-shirts fit the mode. Our hair was longer than military standards and we only had to military up when we had an awards ceremony with a VIP. That meant months could go by and we were long-haired and grudge. Excellent cover in overseas locations!! FM By CHARLES T. PINCK and DAN PINCK McLean, Va. FOR those who have been around long enough, the debate over the reorganization of the United States int...

Excellent analysis…Pryce-Jones hits all the salient points of our current war with Islam. FM Only a few years ago, mass-murder attacks on the West in the name of Islam, like those of September 11, would have seemed like a thriller writer's fantasy. Nor would anyone have imagined that a bombing by Islamists could swing a general election in a European country, that a Dutch movie-maker might be shot dead on the street for a film about the abuse of women in Islam, or that one might find ...
Herbert E. Meyer served during the Reagan Administration as Special Assistant to the Director of Central Intelligence and Vice Chairman of the CIA's National Intelligence Council. His DVD on The Siege of Western Civilization is a nationwide best-seller. November 11th, 2004 By Herbert E. Meyer Are you nuts? Forgive me for being so blunt, but your reaction to our re-election of President Bush has been so outrageous that I'm wondering if you have quite literal...
And so we should!! This just provides better interaction among the INTEL community and the law enforcement community which does not historically know how to deal with one another.

No matter what the press says, ICE and others are looking and working very hard to ensure our borders are secure. Granted, many illegals cross everyday and these illegals can be from Middle-East countries but I doubt that Al-Qaeda holds a presence in Arizona. Agents from all agencies are all over this threat and investigate any and all leads provided by the community.
