Airline terror is a complex problem
David Frum at FrumForum has a post up that examines who the real culprit might be in the failed terror bombing on Christmas Day. while I agree with David on the points he makes about the breakdowns that allowed the terrorists to fly I must disagree with him on screening for bombs.
Airline terrorism is a [...]

Charles has a great update here, and many more indicators have come to light that the Fort Hood shootings were an act of terror similar to the recent recruitment center shootings.

September Morn
September Morn
Eight years ago I walked into mission control at work just like every other day, stopping by to check if there were any large technical issues that needed resolving. Dave was staring at the bank of televisions above the rows of 20 monitors that kept track of the call centers we actively watch all [...]

Left Wing Domestic Terrorists Sentenced for Plot to Firebomb RNC Convention
Left Wing Domestic Terrorists Sentenced for Plot to Firebomb RNC Convention
The perps had a trailer full of screw-studded plastic shields manufactured from stolen traffic control barrels and molotov cocktails stored at an apartment. Mckay was perfectly ok with police deaths or injuries:
During the same conversation, while discussing the use of Molotov cocktails, McKay was heard [...]

Is Worldwide Islamic Terror on the Ebb?
Is Worldwide Islamic Terror on the Ebb?
There’s certainly no dearth of terror events to report from Pakistan, the Mid-east, Afghanistan, Thailand, Indonesia, Iraq, etc. in any given week, however there are now single days without a report of Islamic terror anywhere.
For three years I’ve done an almost daily surf of news from all electronic sources [...]

Pakistan Lost II
Pakistan Lost II
Back in December both Bill Roggio and I said Swat was lost, (Pakistan Lost.) The post is ironically titled – Swat itself is a beautiful mountain paradise, or could be without the Taliban infestation. Traveling to Swat now would be like going upriver to meet Colonel Kurtz. Here’s what I said back then:
The [...]

Bill Moyers Backpedals the Cycle of Violence
I still believe Bill to be the worst sort of racist, those that profess not to be prejudiced while savaging by word and deed the people they are supposedly not prejudiced against; all the while maintaining a tone of high-brow snooty moral superiority. Stating that you are one of the good people does not make you one.

Pakistan Lost
As long as the ruling parties and elites in Pakistan continue to externalize their own problems this death spiral will continue. If they wake up one morning however and say “No, we don’t want to be the next Somalia, we must do something” then there could be some hope, the bird could gain wing and soar again; but in the current contretemps with India over Mumbai I don’t see many signs of that.

Piracy and Lunacy
The lunacy of Somalia being without a clear government the past 20 or so years is bad enough, but couple that with Piracy and you get a dangerous but equal harmony to paraphrase the smarmy McCartney / Jackson song of the 80’s. Since I’m the guy who likes to look beyond the next news cycle, I’ll [...]

The Confession on Mumbai: Timeline
There’s now a leaked confession in India from the one live terrorist out to the news, and it made the rounds yesterday. It came out very fast, and I’ll withold judgement on its veracity until more of the real evidence comes out. The confession does lay out a realistic timeline, but there are a few [...]

Iran Receives Praise For Terror Aid to Al Qaeda: Zawahiri Letter
In an intercepted letter to Iran, Ayman Al Zawahiri praises Iran for their aid in setting up the terror cells in Yemen responsible for the recent US Embassy attacks there. In the past both Al Qaeda and the Taliban have sheltered in Iran, and without Iran’s logistics and weapons aid it’s doubtful that they can [...]

Sayyid Imam Calls Zawahiri a Liar and Cursed Before God
In a book being published serially, Sayyid Imam points out the lies and double-dealing of Ayman Al Zawhari, and challenges him to a cursing before God. See here at Jihadica, partial list below:
Zawahiri repeatedly says I wrote the Document [the Tarshid] under the supervision of the U.S. and the Jews. He is a liar and [...]

Al Qaeda Kills More Muslims
The sad fact is that I could run this headline pretty much any day of the week and have it be fresh news and true. Al Qaeda will continue to kill muslims until muslims tire of it and kill Al Qaeda. For a report on the latest atrocity stop by Jawa Report.
