		<description><![CDATA[Political correctness in the CIA may be deadly. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/cia_floor_seal.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59198" title="cia_floor_seal" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/cia_floor_seal.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="302" /></a></p>
<p>Last December 30th, a horrific bombing snuffed out the lives of seven American patriots. We can only wish that the same blast had snuffed out the politically correct policies that  may have led to those young peoples’ deaths. With heavy hearts, and a salute to our fallen heroes, it is fitting and proper that we should soberly consider the bureaucracy that placed those brave but inexperienced officers at a fire-base in a war zone.</p>
<p>Was it political correctness that killed the CIA operations officer, the analyst, and the others supporting the meeting, just as surely as the blast and fragments from the package strapped under the bomber’s robe? Every clandestine meeting with a terrorist is dangerous and potentially deadly. The meeting itself is a tiny part of the operation. Training and preparation, planning and cultural knowledge, understanding your asset’s personality, motivations, needs, and problems, are just a few of the issues that an operations officer must juggle and attempt to control. But the first step is the selection process itself that chooses candidates who will become operations officers in a war zone.</p>
<p>When the meeting is held in conjunction with a foreign intelligence service, as the presence of the Jordanian intelligence officer seems to suggest this one was, another layer of complications is introduced into an already complicated situation. Language, control, compatible goals, strategy, tactics, all must be coordinated, discussed, hashed out, and agreed upon with the partner. Vastly separated by culture and objectives, a CIA ops officer and her foreign counterpart must dance down a delicately balanced tightrope.</p>
<p>By their very nature, penetrations of terrorist organizations are dangerous, crafty, deceptive, and hard to handle. Whether the source is playing the role of a terrorist at the behest of a hostile intelligence handler, or is a real terrorist cooperating with friendly intelligence officers, the key element of the source’s personality is deception.</p>
<p>A terrorist is not usually the most savory character. In fact, he probably has a long history of walking on the wrong side of the law. Arrests, jail, detention, prison, living double lives, lying about his true intentions, beliefs and plans are second nature to a terrorist. Crimes, deceit, double-dealing, conspiracy, murder, rape and robbery are every day facts of life for a terrorist. He has been involved in black market schemes, counterfeiting, visa fraud, online fraud, identity theft, and multiple other schemes, cons, and rackets.</p>
<p>As if the background of the target does not pose enough challenges, remember that the target comes from a culture so different from that of middle America that, for the average American, the terrorist source may as well be from Pluto.</p>
<p>The target is likely a Middle Eastern male, probably native Arabic-speaking. He is also a member of a vastly complex, interwoven network of social, tribal, national, religious, clan, ethnic, and other groups. The flavor of Arabic he speaks, and the name he bears immediately identify him as a certain clan/tribe/ethnicity. He practices, or used to practice, a form of Islam that is strongly affected by his tribal and ethnic background.</p>
<p>He likely has participated in some sort of Islamic revival movement. He has probably traveled abroad, perhaps to the West. He has been bombarded with Western culture from the day he was born. He has a grasp of English, at least in reading. He probably has been educated in a technical discipline. He is of above average intelligence. He is able to use charm, and knows how to manipulate Americans. He has a strong, though misguided, understanding of American culture and lifestyles. His view of Americans is not complex. He thinks that American men are big, play football and drink a lot of beer. He thinks American women are blond, have large breasts and are eager to engage in casual sex with strangers they have just met. He admires, covets, and loathes the American lifestyle, economy and culture. He is interested in converting any American he meets to Islam.</p>
<p>The target is smooth like a snake, and would rather slip a knife into your American ribs than deal with you. He is meeting with an American intelligence officer for his own reasons, which very likely have nothing to do with the reasons the American is meeting with him.</p>
<p>While every case is different, that is a rough profile of a potential terrorist asset.  It might also be helpful to review who a terrorist asset is <em>not</em>. This man is not a diplomat. He does not attend embassy cocktail parties. He is not a European sophisticate looking for an American contact to discuss the Copenhagen round of global warming talks. The terrorist is not impressed with American ideas of equality or political correctness. He does not fear a sexual harassment lawsuit.  He shares not one of PC America’s concerns about “offensive speech,” or “the glass ceiling.” He is not interested in hearing the American view of the Middle East.</p>
<p>A CIA ops officer has the task of meeting, assessing, developing a close friendship with, and then recruiting the terrorist described above. The most highly coveted recruitment would be a member of an enemy terrorist organization. If that terrorist had, or could nurture a connection to, or information about the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden, the recruitment would be a ticket to super-stardom for the ops officer.</p>
<p>Who are the CIA ops officers that are pitted against this hardest of hard targets? What is the profile that the CIA uses to find and hire the operators to work against these kind of adverseness? Based on the CIA’s profile for hiring, you would think this job requires the same skills as an investment banker, an NGO advisor, an accountant, a lawyer, or another high-class professional.</p>
<p>CIA’s recruitment center, flooded with applicants after 9/11, set an arbitrary minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.75 for a candidate to be considered. Falling back on traditional profiles of clandestine service candidates, created during the Cold War, the CIA filled huge classes with eager young faces. The typical recruit came from a prestige school, with a BA or MA in International Relations, Political Science, Area Studies, or other soft liberal arts. The recruit had studied a foreign language, to less than fluent proficiency. Since a class-action lawsuit in 1993, it is now more likely that the recruit is female.</p>
<p>She has foreign experience, probably a semester, or a year, in an American university’s study abroad program, most likely in Europe. She is in her mid-20s. She has never been arrested, never been involved in anything shady or illegal, has never used drugs, and drinks alcohol moderately. She sweated through her polygraph test, probably the first time she has ever been questioned by a hostile authority.</p>
<p>After passing the academic screening and an interview, candidates passed a security clearance, including a thorough background check, drug testing, psychological screening (“I’m fascinated by fire:  T or F”), and a polygraph exam. Those with arrest and criminal records are deemed unsuitable.  A rowdy, street-smart male is likely to be screened out at some point in the process.</p>
<p>These recruits are the type of kids you would want your child bringing home as a life partner. They come from all the best schools, eager, arrogant, confident, swaggering, innocent, and full of potential. But are they the right candidates for dealing with cunning terrorists?</p>
<p>The answer should be clear. Absolutely not. The recruits make very good choir boys and girls, squeaky clean, innocent, naive, and wholly unsuited to deal with terrorists. However, the problems with the CIA’s process just begin at recruitment. You think that these fresh kids will be trained. Training could be used to create some of the street-smarts required to deal with terrorists and other dangerous sources. But the training to prepare the choir boys to deal with reprobates would take years and years. They only have a few months.</p>
<p>Mandatory sexual harassment training in the CIA is rigorous and repeated. More like communist “self-criticism” sessions, this training infuriates most males, and empowers most females. The video vignettes used in the training paint with a broad brush. Males are pig-headed imbecilic, racist predators. Females are hard-working, put-upon, victims of the white male hierarchy. Past lack of female representation in management has given way to a flood of newly minted Senior Intelligence Service females, and mid-level female managers up and down the chain of command, including in the field.</p>
<p>The “street smarts” training that CIA operations officers go through is quite helpful, if the recruit brings a high level of street sense to the first day of class. If not, the training is all but wasted on the naive innocents. If you’ve never been worried about being detected by the police, if you’ve never been arrested, if you’ve never lied about your activities, if you’ve never cased a location to prepare for an illegal activity, if you’ve never sweet-talked someone into (or out of) something, the training is a confusing whirlwind of alien concepts.</p>
<p>The recruits, selected for their high GPAs, and pristine backgrounds, gamely go through the motions. They learn the basics, and the concepts, intellectually, but for the vast majority, they are in a frightening upside-down universe of moral ambiguity and repulsive manipulation. Where right is wrong, and wrong is right; where you must become best friends with your worst enemy; this is the universe of deadly con-games.</p>
<p>While it is true that females can often be much better, generally speaking (and on certain realms), at manipulating and reading subtle signs in others, the unspoken issue of sex and sexual expectations greatly complicates a female ops officer’s attempts to ply her craft. Political correctness dictates that the CIA and its experienced ops officers should not mention this fact of nature, and in fact, they pretend it does not exist. Unlike other, highly effective intel services, which use sex as part of their arsenal, the PC CIA treats every ops officer as if they are interchangeable.</p>
<p>After training, the newly minted female ops officer is assigned to a post in “the Sand Box,” Afghanistan or Iraq, or to a more genteel post. In neither one does she learn anything about the realities of the street culture of her targets. What she does learn, and become acculturated to, are the realities of American government culture. She learns how to survive and prosper in the bureaucracy.  At either the fire base, or genteel circles, she becomes adept at negotiating the social maze of American PC culture. And while this is important for her career, it does not advance America’s fight against terrorists.</p>
<p>In human intel ops, initial attempts at making contact with a potential source might involve an arranged meeting in a public place, or the source may walk-in to volunteer. When a female ops officer approaches a stranger in public, especially an Arab male, the sexual electricity is super-charged. Even with a walk-in, the ops officer is thrust into a highly emotionally charged relationship, with an immediate need to begin to sort out truth from lies and distortions.</p>
<p>Even if operating in the same culture and language, such situations are extremely difficult to handle. But when attempts at befriending and manipulating take place in an alien culture and language, maybe through an interpreter, the relationship is so complicated as to be unmanageable. A male ops officer has a difficult enough time in navigating through the twists and turns of a development, without sexual baggage hanging over each meeting.</p>
<p>PC denial of reality may not have much immediate effect in other US government offices, like the Department of Agriculture, but in CIA operations, the effects are immediate and obvious, to an objective observer. Painful as it may be for the PC crowd to admit, we must adapt to the target culture. We cannot force our targets to adapt to our culture. We should not send a woman in to do a job, and pretend she is not handicapped by her gender.</p>
<p>The father of one of the dead officers knew instinctively that a war zone was not the right place for a girl who had graduated from Keith Country Day School and Colby College, which offers a semester abroad program in Spain, and one in France. The bereaved father recalled: “I begged her not to go, I said, ‘Do you know how dangerous that is? That’s for soldiers.’”</p>
<p>Acknowledging this reality does not demean the work of old, new, or current female ops officers. They are doing their best, and are patriots, one and all. Any exception that one may cite (as there are highly effective female ops officers), simply proves the rule. They clearly have a role to play in the CT intel war. However, just as in our armed forces, where women are not allowed in combat roles, we should use the debacle at Khost as impetus to sift PC dreams of equality from the realities of operating against terrorists.</p>
<p><strong>Kent Clizbe is a former CIA operations officer with extensive counter-terrorism experience. He has written articles on the CIA and the Obama administration’s war on the counter-terrorism operators, for Newsmax, ParcBench, and others, since he stopped contracting with the Agency in 2007.</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/bishop1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-51443" title="bishop" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/bishop1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="347" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Visit <a href="http://www.newsrealblog.com/">Newsreal</a></strong><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/21/us/21bishop.html" target="_blank"><em></em></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/21/us/21bishop.html" target="_blank"><em>The New York Times</em>’ front page profile</a> on Saturday of professor Amy Bishop, who allegedly executed three University of Alabama Biology Department colleagues after being denied tenure, appears to be an exhaustively reported piece based on “numerous interviews with colleagues and others who knew her.” It portrays Bishop as violent and unpredictable, rejected by Harvard because of mediocre work and shunned by a series of neighbors and co-workers scared off by the suppressed rage that kept bubbling up to the surfaces of her social life, and also someone who may already have gotten away with the murder of her brother years earlier possibly because of her mother’s political connections in her home town of Braintree, Mass.</p>
<div>
<p>“Between brilliance and rage” is the caption of the photo of Bishop used by the<em> Times</em> for the story, although the piece makes no case for the former.  But is this all the news that is fit to print about the perpetrator of this murder spree in academe?  What about the “family source” who told the Boston Herald that Bishop was,</p>
<blockquote><p>“<a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/guideDesc.asp?catid=144&amp;type=issue" target="_blank">a far left</a> political activist who was ‘obsessed’ with <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1511" target="_blank">President Obama</a> to the point of being off putting”?</p></blockquote>
<p>What about the student who called her a <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/guideDesc.asp?catid=115&amp;type=issue" target="_blank">“socialist”</a>? What about one report that Bishop complained about a rule issued by University  of Alabama administrators regarding underclassmen living on campus because she believed it was destructive of “diversity.”  And what about the crowning irony of this case, whether or not she made this complaint: that two of the colleagues she allegedly killed were black and one was South Asian, and that Bishop thus wiped out the 14 person Biology department’s entire diversity in one burst of gunfire?</p>
<p>Considering the politics of Bishop’s <em>ressentiment</em> might have helped fill out the Times’ portrait of a psychopathic time bomb who had already gone off several times in her disordered life on her way to the Big Explosion on February 12 in Huntsville. There is no doubt, as the blogosphere has already noted, that the paper would have pursued even the vaguest hint that Bishop had been a fan of Glenn Beck or was a Tea Party fellow traveler as a major story line. For the Grey Lady, only the politics of the Right is personal.</p>

<p>Al Franken is a U.S. Senator representing Minnesota. His 2008 Senate race against Republican Norm Coleman was hotly contested and extremely close. It was also marred by what journalist Matthew Vadum called &#8220;<a href="http://spectator.org/archives/2009/04/14/fighting-frankenstein/print">appalling irregularities</a> that characterized both the initial and subsequent vote-counting.&#8221; The morning after the election, Coleman led Franken by 725 votes. But Franken refused to concede, and the thin margin triggered an automatic recount. As <a href="http://discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6968">ACORN</a>-aligned Secretary of State Mark Ritchie presided over the recount process, Coleman&#8217;s lead gradually vanished due to a host of mysterious, newly discovered votes that almost invariably benefited Franken. A detailed account of these developments can found <a href="http://spectator.org/archives/2009/04/14/fighting-frankenstein/print">here</a>. By the time the recount (and a court challenge by Coleman) had ended in April 2009, Franken held <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090630/ap_on_el_se/us_minnesota_senate">a 312-vote lead</a>. On June 30, 2009, after the Minnesota Supreme Court unanimously rejected his lawsuit, Coleman officially conceded and Franken was declared the victor.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/walker.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-48751" title="walker" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/walker-294x300.jpg" alt="" width="294" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><strong>[Visit<a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/"> Pajamas</a>]</strong></p>
<p>According to a recent <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/muslim-american-convicts-yemen-pose-threat/story?id=9602228&amp;page=2">ABC report</a>, “As many as three dozen criminals who converted to Islam in American prisons have moved to Yemen where they could pose a ‘significant threat’ to attack the U.S., according to a report on al-Qaeda from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. … Also of concern to U.S. officials, the Senate staff found, is a group of ‘nearly 10 non-Yemeni Americans who traveled to Yemen, converted to Islam, became fundamentalists, and married Yemeni women so they could remain in the country.’ … An American official described them as ‘blond-haired, blue-eyed types’ who fit the profile of Americans who al-Qaeda has sought to recruit for terror missions.”</p>
<p>These, of course, are not the first Americans — black, white, or in between — to convert to Islam and join the jihad: <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/1779455.stm">John Walker Lindh</a> wound up fighting fellow Americans alongside Taliban forces in Afghanistan; <a href="http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/gadahn_a.htm">Adam Gadahn</a> became a major character in al-Qaeda’s propaganda machine; <a href="http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2008/07/21/Homegrown-US-terrorist-sent-to-prison/UPI-68091216683932/">Gregory Patterson, Levar Washington, and Kevin James</a> plotted terror strikes against the U.S.; <a href="http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2008/June/08-nsd-492.html">Christopher Paul</a> and <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22784470/">Jose Padilla</a> conspired to use weapons of mass destruction.</p>
<p>Then there are the countless European converts, such as the British “shoe-bomber,” <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/asiapcf/southeast/01/30/reid.alqaeda/">Richard Reid</a>, who attempted to achieve “martyrdom” by detonating explosives in his shoes while aboard a passenger aircraft; the late <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4762591.stm">Germaine Lindsay</a>, who <em>did</em> achieve “martyrdom” by killing himself and 56 of his fellow citizens and injuring over 700, in the London bombings of 2005; and <a href="http://www.free-abu-hamza.co.uk/abu-abdullah-interview-cnn.html">Abu Abdullah</a>, the native Briton-turned-fiery-Islamist-preacher who makes no secret of his vitriolic hatred of the West (all, of course, while enjoying that unique Western liberty, freedom of speech).</p>
<p>What causes such men, born and raised in the West, often from Christian backgrounds, to abandon their heritage, embrace Islam, and become radicalized to the point that they conspire to kill their fellow countrymen?</p>

<p>Bill Clinton was the 42nd President of the United States. His administration presided over the degradation of the American military. It failed to address the growing threat of Islamic terrorism. It compromised U.S. intelligence and made it vulnerable to Chinese espionage. It erected a &#8220;wall of separation&#8221; between law-enforcement and intelligence agencies, thereby making it easier for the 9/11 terrorists to carry out their plot successfully. And it helped lay the foundation for the current economic crisis. <strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=644">To view the full Bill Clinton profile, click here</a></strong>.</p>

<p>Howard Zinn died Wednesday at the age of 87. He is best known for writing <em>A People&#8217;s History of the United States </em>(1980), a Marxist tract that describes America as a predatory and repressive capitalist state &#8212; sexist, racist, imperialist &#8212; that is run by a corporate ruling class for the benefit of the rich. <em>A People’s History</em> has sold more than a million copies, making it one of the best-selling history books of all time. It has long been one of most influential texts in college classrooms. <strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=939">To view a comprehensive profile of Zinn and his ideas, click here.</a></strong></p>

<strong><em>Excerpt from the Susan Sarandon profile:</em></strong></p>
<p>&#8230; Sarandon was a member and financial supporter of <a style="color: maroon; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6163">Not In Our Name</a> (NION), the <a style="color: maroon; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6197">Revolutionary Communist Party</a>-led project whose &#8220;<a style="color: maroon; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.notinourname.net/statement_conscience.html" target="_new">Statement of Conscience</a>&#8221; condemned not only the Bush administration&#8217;s &#8220;stark new measures of repression,&#8221; but also its &#8220;unjust, immoral, illegitimate, [and] openly imperial policy towards the world.&#8221; According to NION, it is the American government &#8212; and not that of any other nation &#8211; which poses the most &#8220;grave dangers to the people of the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sarandon was also an endorser of <a style="color: maroon; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7213">World Can&#8217;t Wait</a> (WCW), the <a style="color: maroon; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6197">Revolutionary Communist Party</a>-led group that sought to organize &#8220;people living in the United States to take responsibility to stop the whole disastrous course led by the Bush administration.&#8221; Other celebrity endorsers of WCW included <a style="color: maroon; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=837">Harry Belafonte</a>, <a style="color: maroon; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1813">Gloria Steinem</a>, <a style="color: maroon; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1270">Martin Sheen</a>,<a style="color: maroon; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1326">Jane Fonda</a>, <a style="color: maroon; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1128">Gore Vidal</a>, <a style="color: maroon; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1086">Sean Penn</a>, and <a style="color: maroon; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=939">Howard Zinn</a>.</p>
<p>Likening Islamic terrorism to American capitalism, Sarandon has said: &#8220;Let us find a way to resist fundamentalism that leads to violence; fundamentalism of all kinds &#8211; in <a style="color: maroon; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6211">al Qaeda</a>, and within our government. And what is our fundamentalism? Cloaked in patriotism, and our doctrine of spreading democracy throughout the world, our fundamentalism is business &#8211; the unfettered spread of our economic interests throughout the globe.&#8221; &#8230;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Presumably Martha Coakley, the Massachusetts attorney general aiming to be that state’s next U.S. senator, has more political skill than she’s demonstrated in recent days. She must be on a spectacularly ill-timed run of bad luck and rookie mistakes.</p>
<p>As Republican Scott Brown has roared from unknown to potential upset winner, Coakley came under fire for having her campaign largely go dark for weeks after the primary, but there was a certain logic to keeping a low profile during the holiday season; voters’ minds are elsewhere. What’s worse is what happened once the holidays ended.</p>

In May 1996, CAIR coordinated a press conference to protest the decision of the U.S. government to extradite Marzook for his connection to terrorist acts performed by Hamas. CAIR characterized the extradition as &#8220;anti-Islamic&#8221; and &#8220;anti-American.&#8221; When President Bush closed HLF in December 2001 for collecting money &#8220;to support the Hamas terror organization,&#8221; CAIR decried his action as &#8220;unjust&#8221; and &#8220;disturbing.&#8221;</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> &#8230;</span></span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Far better to be blown to smithereens than to be politically incorrect.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-45840" title="Obama 2008" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/obaman.jpg" alt="Obama 2008" width="450" height="335" /></p>
<p>The latest &#8220;screw-up&#8221; that let a man with explosives get on a plan on Christmas day is only part of a larger laxness and irresponsibility when it comes to national security. This administration pays lip service to national security and gives out with a lot of rhetorical notions that makes it notional security instead of national security.</p>
<p>The Muslim major who was arrested for the murders of American soldiers at Fort Hood had left so many clues to his hatred of this country that all you had to do was count the dots, without even connecting them, to see where he was coming from. But for a fellow officer to alert higher authorities to the danger would have meant risking damage to his own career moreso than to that of Major Nidal Hasan.</p>
<p>That is because we have become so obsessed with political correctness that both common sense and self-preservation have to take a back seat. We don&#8217;t dare &#8220;profile&#8221; anybody going through security checks because that&#8217;s not politically correct. Far better to be blown to smithereens than to be politically incorrect.</p>
<p>Probably the country with the strongest security checks for airline passengers— and the strongest reason for such checks— is Israel. Israel profiles. I have been to Israel more than once and it is clear that they profile.</p>
<p>Fortunately, my wife and I obviously don&#8217;t fit their profile, whatever that may be. Others who have been to Israel are amazed when I tell them that we have gone through Israeli security four times and they have never opened our luggage.</p>
<p>That is all the more surprising, since we take a lot of luggage. We have stopped in Israel while on trips completely around the world, including countries both above and below the equator, so we had to have clothing for hot weather and cold weather, since the seasons are the opposite in the northern and southern hemispheres. Moreover, I carry a lot of photographic equipment in a large, separate piece of luggage.</p>
<p>In short, our luggage could carry enough explosives to blow up any building in the country.</p>
<p>But, whatever their security system and whatever their profile, they didn&#8217;t seem to want to waste any time on us.</p>
<p>The last time we flew into Israel was from Cairo, where the Israeli security officials at the Cairo airport detained the lady in line in front of us for 45 minutes, opened her luggage, spread the contents across the counter, and asked her all sorts of questions. When they had finally finished with her and my wife and I stepped up to the counter, the official in charge waved us on impatiently, saying, &#8220;Hurry up, you&#8217;ll miss the plane.&#8221;</p>
<p>This was no special treatment for us. They had no idea who we were. We were just not the kind of people they spent time on, for whatever reason.</p>
<p>Recently, an Israeli security official was interviewed on Fox News Channel by Mike Huckabee. The official said that he has testified before Congress and offered to help with suggestions on how the American airport security system could be improved— and he clearly thought it needed a lot of improvement.</p>
<p>Apparently the only response he got from American security officials was a polite letter. &#8220;They didn&#8217;t tell me to go to Hell,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They were polite.&#8221;</p>
<p>There is no stronger indication of danger than officials who don&#8217;t want to hear what anybody else has to say, even when those who offer to help have a system that works better than ours.</p>
<p>The fundamental issue goes beyond the Fort Hood massacre or the Christmas bomber. These are just symptoms of a larger set of attitudes and expediences reflecting the same outlook.</p>
<p>Putting terrorists on trial in American criminal courts, under rules designed for American citizens, tells you all you need to know about whether the Obama administration is serious about security or is still playing the political correctness game.</p>
<p>Terrorists are not covered by the Geneva convention for the simple reason that they do not abide by the Geneva convention. They are enemy combatants and you do not turn enemy combatants loose to go back to killing Americans while the war is still on— not if you are being serious, as distinguished from being political or ideological.</p>

<p><strong><em>Excerpt from the Spike Lee profile:</em></strong></p>
<p><span style="COLOR: black">In October 2005 Lee produced and directed a movie for HBO entitled </span><em>When the Levee Broke &#8211;</em> a reference to the devastating floods of Hurricane Katrina that had engulfed much of New Orleans the previous month. Lee made clear his belief that President Bush had been slow to dispatch federal aid workers to Louisiana because so many of the victims were black. When Lee was asked by CNN anchorwoman Daryn Kagan whether he thought the government had purposefully allowed blacks to drown or to lose their homes, he replied, &#8220;It&#8217;s not too far-fetched … I don&#8217;t put anything past the United States government. I don&#8217;t find it too far-fetched that they tried to displace all the black people out of New Orleans.&#8221; The film featured<a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/Articles/Spikes%20Storm.html"><span style="COLOR: maroon; TEXT-DECORATION: none; text-underline: none">interviews</span></a> with <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=837"><span style="COLOR: maroon; TEXT-DECORATION: none; text-underline: none">Harry Belafonte</span></a> and <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1086"><span style="COLOR: maroon; TEXT-DECORATION: none; text-underline: none">Sean Penn</span></a>.</p>

Black people have never had the power to enforce racism, and so this is something that white America is going to have to work out themselves. If they decide they want to stop it, curtail it, or to do the right thing … then it will be done, but not until then.&#8221; &#8230;</span></p>

<p>On September 13, 2006, O&#8217;Donnell <a style="COLOR: maroon; TEXT-DECORATION: none" href="http://www.mrc.org/Profiles/odonnell/welcome.asp" target="_blank">said</a> that &#8220;radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America.&#8221; Condemning the U.S. military response to 9/11, she added: &#8220;We were attacked not by a nation. And as a result of the attack and the killing of nearly 3,000 innocent people we invaded two countries and killed innocent people in their countries.&#8221; &#8230;</p>
