“Confused” or “Malicious”? You tell me.
Today, yet another indication that making every single person–whether Muslim or blue-haired WASPy granny from Pasadena–wade through airport security (and throw out their half used toothpast tubes) ain’t workin’:

A man allegedly circumvented security Friday at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport in Charlotte, North Carolina, causing headaches for screeners and passengers.
The Transportation Security Administration said the man went around security on Concourse C of the airport.

“It’s too soon to say whether there was malicious intent or whether it was someone who was confused,” TSA spokesman John Allen told The Associated Press. [DS: They never found him. So, they will wait to see if a plane gets blown up to decide whethere he was “malicious” or “confused”?! Just wondering. And, yes, no-one knows that you have to go through airport security screening. It’s a new concept. So, for sure, he was “confused.” Absurd.]
It was not immediately clear where the man went after allegedly skipping the security checkpoint.
The incident caused problems for passengers on some flights. The TSA said seven planes were searched afterward. The man was not found, and the airport later was cleared.
Passengers on another 15 planes that took off after the breach will have to go through screening again when they reach their destinations, the TSA said.
The TSA released no details on how the man bypassed security. Videotapes were under review, and TSA officials were working with local law enforcement.

Again, I ask: “Confused” or “Malicious”? If he was testing the system, he surely succeeded in finding a new gaping hole.

TIME Magazine has an article claiming that American motel owners are racist for advertising their motels as “American-owned.”
Like many 7-Elevens, many American motels across America are owned by Indian immigrants and their relatives. There numbers are so significant that there is an Asian American Hotel Owners Association, which is urging motel owners to refrain from using “American-owned.” Their association President, the very-Indian-named Fred Schwartz, is claiming that those who use it “are trying to prey on peoples’ prejudice under the gusie of patriotism.”

But that’s bunk. Most of these Indian motel owners are naturalized U.S. citizens and many of their kids who run and have even inherited the hotels are born U.S. citizens. Why are they afraid of the “American-owned” label that they, presumably, can truthfully use for themselves? And if they are not U.S. citizens, not Americans, it’s hardly an issue of racism and prejudice, since, again, there are plenty of Indians who are American citizens.
Who knew that saying you are an American is suddenly a verboten “expression of racism”? I guess it’s the new manifestation of “no-tell motel.”
For the record, I have nothing against Indians and, in fact, patronize plenty of Indian businesses, including a . I admire Indians’ entrepreneurial spirit. And, in general, Indians are among the few who mostly understand the Islamic problem and the Jihadist threat. They see it every day in their native India, where 100 million to 150 million Muslims among a billion people are creating extreme problems of intolerance, violence, and havoc daily.
But there are one or two hotel chains that I will never patronize specifically because of who owns them and what they did, and it has nothing to do with Indians:
* The Four Seasons Hotel chain is owned in significant part by Saudi Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal (and his buddy Microsoft’s Bill Gates), the man who offered then-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani $10 million right after 9/11, so long as America changed its policy toward Israel. He blamed Israel for 9/11 and has been a funder and supporter of Palestinian terrorism. (And he’s the of .)
If you don’t want to fund Palestinian terrorism, then don’t stay there. That’s why my friend, producer Sandy Frank–who was a good customer of the hotel chain–will no longer stay there. He knows that the dollars he pays there for a hotel room end up in Prince Al-Waleed’s pocket and, then, “The Martyrs'” pockets.

Saudi Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal:
The Guy on Our Right Owns The Four Seasons Hotel
* Then, there is the Intercontinental Hotel chain. I won’t pay for a room there, either. When Jordan controlled the old city portion of Jerusalem, it allowed the hotel chain to build its Jerusalem Intercontinental Hotel atop the centuries-old holy Jewish cemetery and Jewish graves on the Mount of Olives. That Jordan allowed this is no shocker–they hate Jews. That a hotel chain had no problem with it is unconscionable. And they will never get a dollar from me. Not from you either, I hope. (The hotel went on to become a major meeting place for P.L.O. terrorist operatives to meet, have coffee, and plan murderous attacks on innocent Jews.)

Remember: Cross The Four Seasons and The Intercontinental Hotels off your list of acceptable lodging.

Yesterday, I posted most of a Wall Street Journal article announcing or are illegal aliens who must be fired. Today, the news is all over the media.
But as the article stated, the rules were actually formulated by the Bush Administration and Michael “Serpenthead” Chertoff’s Department of Homeland Security a year ago and never implemented, in favor of the phony “comprehensive immigration reform” baloney:

The department first proposed the regulations in June 2006 but then failed to implement them while an immigration-overhaul made its way to the Senate floor.

Even a year ago was too late. But now–with 16.5 months left of the George W. Bush Administration–is way too late. Where was President Bush for the first 6 and 2/3 years of his Administration on this issue? Where was he for the 6 years since 9/11?
Too little, too late. And as the WSJ article noted, the illegal aliens population is growing by more than half a million per year (and that figure doesn’t account for their anchor babies).
But, hey, at least they are finally admitting they lied about claiming they can’t enforce the law unless they grant illegal aliens instant amnesty.

In Jewish folklore, there is a city called Chelm, where the “Wise Men” who run the town are extremely stupid and illogical. Whatever would make sense, they do the exact opposite.
It appears that Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak’s ancestors hail from the mythical city and descended from “The Wise Men of Chelm.” His logic sounds a lot like John Kerry’s “I voted for it before I voted against it”.

Ehud Barak: Seeing The World Through Rose-Colored Glasses
He’s saying that Israel must have a missile defense system in place to protect is from Palestinian rocket fire before Israel can give away to its enemies the strategically important so-called “West Bank.” That’s like saying, “We need chemotherapy on our stomach first to prepare for the cancer we’ll get tomorrow by cutting off our legs.” It simply makes no sense. He’s basically admitting that he knows that the rocket fire Israel is getting from Gaza will continue and will probably happen from the “peaceful,” favored Fatah terrorists in the “West Bank,” too.
So, to solve the problem, first let’s develop a system to shoot down the rockets, then let’s give them the base from which to shoot the rockets at us, then let’s try to shoot the rockets down and hope we succeed in saving innocent lives targeted by terrorists. It’s absurd.
If you know your enemies will be attacking you from land you own, why give it to them to make it easier to do reverse containment, with them making your country ever-smaller and more vulnerable? And this guy is the “Defense” Minister and was a General (as well as a very-failed former Prime Minster). And also, why put a band-aid on one gash, when tomorrow, another one will appear on the other end of your body? Israel seeks to protect itself from aerial assault by rockets, but not from land-based attacks on all sides, including the “West Bank” from which it now seeks to surrender.
It’s a good thing we don’t have such Israeli logic in our leaders here in America. Oh, wait, we have the President calling the 19 hijackers “19 kids” in a press conference, today, and we have the chief of “Homeland Security” claiming that all terrorists are in a cave “a half a world away” and not her.
I guess we do have Ehud Barak’s Israeli logic running America, too. That’s why both Israel AND America are losing the War on Terrorism.
The Wise Men of Chelm rule the West. And that’s why we’re doomed.

From Today’s Wall Street Journal:

Proving Worker Status Poses Burden to Farms

Here are some other headlines that could have been written by the same person:

Showing Driver’s License to Police When Stopped for Speeding Could Burden Drivers

Showing Passport to Return to America from Saudi Arabia Could Burden Muslim Terrorists

Flushing Toilet After Use Could Burden Users

Using Fork and Knife At Restaurant Could Burden Eaters

So sad, too bad. So farmers–who’ve been using illegal aliens for years–are now having to prove they comply with U.S. law. Ditto for landscapers, according to the article. If we could insure that farm workers were just innocent Mexicans and not Muslims, like one of the ’93 World Trade Center bombers, who fraudulently use farmworker visas, I’d say leave them alone. But that’s not the case. And if ICE went after all Muslim illegal aliens and only left Guatemalan farmworkers, hotel maids, etc., I’d say go for it. But that’s not the case. In reality, we are still not tough enough. Not on any employer. Not on the group of illegal aliens who are co-religionists with the 19 9/11 hijackers, or as President Bush today absudly called them “19 kids”.
Here’s a little more of the whining, along with a new euphemism for Open Borders (“Immigration Overhaul”):

Employers warned of labor shortages, particularly in agriculture during the fall harvest, as the Bush administration appeared ready to implement new rules that would press employers to fire workers who appear to be in the U.S. illegally.
“With no expectation there’s a fall-back workforce, you’ll put employers in the position of either firing workers or losing their crops,” said Craig Regelbrugge of the American Nursery and Landscape Association, a trade group.
The administration is under pressure from voters, and particularly Republican conservatives, to show it’s tough on illegal immigration after an immigration bill supported by President Bush collapsed in the Senate in June. The administration’s apparent intention to proceed with the regulations, a year after first proposing them, was reported earlier by the Los Angeles Times.
The regulations will require employers to play a greater role in verifying that their workers are in the U.S. legally, potentially putting new administrative burdens on industries, particularly agriculture, health care and construction, that typically hire large numbers of immigrants.
In return for the increased records checks and a willingness to fire suspected illegal immigrants, the regulations offer employers “safe harbor” protections against prosecution for illegal hiring.
The Department of Homeland Security said it would implement the regulations “in the very near term,” without saying when. But if that happens during the harvest season, trade groups predicted huge problems for growers who already face labor shortages. An estimated two-thirds of agriculture workers are thought to be in the U.S. illegally.
The department first proposed the regulations in June 2006 but then failed to implement them while an immigration-overhaul made its way to the Senate floor. That bill collapsed in part because of a public outcry over the administration’s lax enforcement of immigration laws already on the books.
Currently, an employer reports a new worker’s name and Social Security number with the Social Security Administration, and if the two don’t match government records, the employer receives a so-called “no-match” letter. The department sends a similar letter if the worker’s name doesn’t match the identity document that the worker shows to prove he or she has the right to work in the U.S.
Employers aren’t required to act on those letters, so workers can present counterfeit or stolen Social Security numbers without much danger of being challenged by labor-hungry bosses.
Under the new regulations, employers would have to sort out the discrepancy by asking the worker for new identity and immigration documents. If the problem still isn’t resolved, the regulations say that “the employer must choose between taking action to terminate the employee or facing the risk” of prosecution. Employers who complete and document the multi-step verification process and still don’t discover that the worker is an illegal immigrant also wouldn’t be prosecuted under the department’s safe-harbor provision.
The new rules “will provide clarity for employers,” said Russ Knocke, a DHS spokesman. . . . Employers in industries that are highly dependent on immigrants predicted the regulations could lead to a slowing economy.
“Employers might have to start firing, and then you might have a workforce that’s barely adequate,” said Shawn McBurney of the American Hotel and Lodging Association.
The regulations also are likely to cause paperwork burdens for employers in low-skill industries, which typically have high turnover and attract immigrant workers. Those employers will be faced with sorting through the documents of workers suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, but also of workers who receive no-match letters because of clerical errors, name changes or records confusion.
The regulation could quiet criticism by Republican conservatives that the administration’s failure to enforce immigration laws is attracting some half million illegal immigrants yearly. . . .
But advocates of immigration overhaul contend that tougher enforcement will create labor shortages and drive illegal workers into the underground economy, but it won’t keep them from coming. Mr. Regelbrugge also predicted that employers would move more operations overseas or, as with agriculture, to Mexico and Canada. “Doing enforcement only is going to have tremendous downside consequences on the economy,” he said.

Yeah, like saving jobs for Americans and keeping criminals out of the country. That is a tremendous downside.

Yesterday, Crain’s Detroit Business reported that , Founder and Executive Director of the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services, was picked by Michigan’s liberal Democrat Governor Jennifer Granholm a/k/a “The Governatrix Gran-HO” to head the State of Michigan’s Department of Human Services.
Readers of this site are familiar with Ahmed because . The former head of Jesse Jackson’s Michigan Presidential campaign, heads a Muslim-dominated agency that defrauds Medicaid by helping bring pregnant Muslim women from all over the world to America and giving them phony Social Security numbers to use so they can defraud Medicaid and have you–the taxpayers pay thousands of dollars to cover the deliveries of their babies. Plus the babies get U.S. citizenship.

Ismael Ahmed: Islamofascist Fox Now “Guarding” Infidel Medicaid Henhouse
Granholm knows a lot about this because she was Michigan Attorney General in December 2002, when agents of her office and the FBI raided ACCESS in connection with a Medicaid fraud investigation her office oversaw. That’s why it was strange when she hired her friend, Ahmed, to Co-Chair her Gubernatorial Transition Team, since she knew of Ahmed’s organizations involvement in this scam. (She’s since appointed him as a Regent of Eastern Michigan University.)
BUT, that she hired Ahmed to now oversee Michigan’s disbursements of Medicaid–now as the new Director of the Michigan Department of Human Services–is even more outrageous. Trite but true, it’s exactly like hiring the fox to guard the henhouse. It’s also disturbing because Ahmed’s agency to get commercial driver’s licenses and hazardous material hauling certificates.
And his agency used government money to sponsor the University of Michigan Divestment (from Israel) Conference. Imagine what Ahmed will do with access to and control over Michigan’s giant budget for everything that falls under “Human Services.”
Make no mistake. Michigan’s top Republicans aren’t clean in this either. Current Michigan Attorney General and Republican Mike Cox carefully waited until Muslim women defrauding Medicaid left the country before he issued bench warrants for their arrest. He did that, so he would never actually have to arrest them, interview them, and go after ACCESS and the other malefactors involved in this . . . and offend Muslims. He’s and believes they are the route to his becoming Governor when term-limited Granholm leaves office after 2010.
He appeared on FOX News Channel’s “O’Reilly Factor” to gush all over himself for issuing these empty warrants and lied to Bill O’Reilly, claiming that the people who turned these women in were “Arabs,” themselves, “from the community,” implying they were also Muslims. In fact, none of them are–all Infidels of non-Arab extraction. And what’s worse, Cox issued the warrants, despite Justice Department requests not to, tipping off targets. (An incompetent, stupid former Assistant U.S. Attorney gave him the documents and information.) But rather than do the right thing for a proper investigation, he needed his time to shine in the “O’Reilly Factor” sun. After all, he wants to be Governor and, then, President.
To date, Cox done nothing to stop the Medicaid fraud at Ismael Ahmed’s ACCESS, which continues and has throughout his five years as Michigan’s chief law enforcement official. He is as culpable as Granholm in the wholesale giveaway of U.S. citizenship and tax-paid Medicaid dollars in Michigan to those who–surprise! surprise!–share the same religion as the 19 hijackers of September 11th.

If you’re going to cheat on your spouse, you might want to consider the hilarious case of Leroy Greer. This advice would best be considered by a certain preoccupied .
On Monday, Greer filed suit against 1-800 FLOWERS for $1 Million, claiming breach of contract (Leroy Greer v. 1-800-Flowers.Com Inc., Case No. H-07-2543 (Houston)). Greer cheated on his wife and sent flowers to his extramarital girlfriend via 1-800 FLOWERS. He asked them not to send a receipt or any record of it to his home or office, conditions to which he alleges the company agreed.

But, months later, the company sent a thank you note to his home. His wife saw it, called the company, obtained the receipt, and found out the whole deal. She filed for divorce. Above the Law has a copy of the receipt, which says, “Occasion: Love & Romance,” and “Must Include Cuddly Plush/Stuffed Animal.”
I doubt Greer will collect much in this suit. He certainly doesn’t deserve $1 Million for it. Damages have to be foreseeable by the party who allegedly caused the damages. Did 1-800 FLOWERS know Greer was cheating on his wife? I doubt he openly said so. But when a man orders flowers sent to a woman who does not live at his home and asks that there be no record sent to his home or office, it’s probably a likely suspicion that the woman is an extramarital paramour.
And then there is the amount he paid for the flowers. In a breach of contract suit, if you win, you will usually, at least, get that back. So maybe he’ll get back $40 or $50, plus the filing fee. 1-800 FLOWERS probably has a standard agreement with all purchasers on its website, limiting the damages to a certain small sum. And finally there is the issue of adultery, which is still illegal in most states. Under some law, the commission of a an illegal act limits your ability to sue and get damages over being caught engaging in it. Plus, a court geneally won’t want to reward that.
Most people wouldn’t have the gall to sue over this. Now everyone around the world knows about the private life of Leroy Greer. And for what?

**** UPDATE, 06/05/08: ****
**** MUST CITE and/or (That means you, & ) ****
To update an old Mark Twain (and Benjamin Disraeli) quote, there are lies, damned lies, and Hollywood scripts.
Sometimes the lies are not what is in the script, but what is removed under pressure from whining, politically correct interest groups. These days, those groups are primarily Muslim and Middle Eastern.

Honor Killing Scene Deleted From “ICE, The Movie” a/k/a “Crossing Over”
Muslim groups have successfully gotten scenes–accurately depicting them as terrorists and murderers–removed from scripts or changed to another, more acceptable nationality. Brilliant blogger Sultan Knish drew my attention to the latest such cave-in: “Crossing Over,” starring Harrison Ford and Sean Penn and produced by the Weinstein Brothers. I’ve been and .
Muslim Iranians were upset that a scene portrays them committing an honor killing. Late last week, they succeeded in getting it removed from the film. No worries, though, about the anti-Semitic scenes in the movie. Those remain. The Weinsteins and Writer/Director Wayne Kramer are Jewish, and we can’t expect them to cave on those the way they did for the “more worthy” Muslims. It’s politically correct to attack Jews, not so–these days in Hollywood–to attack those who attacked us before and on 9/11 and repeatedly try to again.
In the movie–about immigration, illegal aliens, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents–Hamid Baraheri is a Muslim Iranian ICE agent in his early forties. Predictably, he is Hollywood’s version of a kind, decent, hard-working, loyal American agent, much unlike the real-life Muslim federal agents, many of whom have been the subject of insubordination and tipping off targets in federal terrorism investigations.
But Baraheri’s brother, Farid, murders his sister, Zahra, in an honor-killing, and ICE Special Agent Hamid Baraheri is in on it. After all, Zahra is dating non-Muslim men and sleeping with a Latino. An honorable Muslim family cannot allow her to live and continue to shame them with her existence.
And though you will never get to see that scene, my spies in Hollywood got me the script, so I’m reposting the scene below (scanned from the script).
**** HERE IS THE MUSLIM HONOR KILLING SCENE, recently deleted from the “Crossing Over” script:


In their successful campaign to get the scene removed, Iranian Muslims whined that Iranians don’t commit honor killings. But they should tell that to the Iranian Supreme Court, which–only four months ago–acquitted a gang of six men who brutally murdering a woman because she was holding hands with a man to whom she was engaged. And there have been many other instances of honor-killing in the country (including here and here). To claim that Iranians don’t commit honor killings is like saying Americans don’t eat at McDonalds.
It appears that the part which most offended Muslim Iranians was not the honor killing itself, but the invocation of the name in the script that we all know comes with most honor killings:

May Allah have mercy on your soul.

Of course, even that was a sanitized version of what happens at Muslim honor killings. Usually there are no well-wishes for Allah’s mercy on the “dishonorable” victim. Instead, it’s the general, Allahu Akbar [Allah is the Greatest/Greater, as in “Greater” than other gods], asserting the “godliness” of the despicable cold-blooded murder.
Since the honor-killing is a theme discussed in several scenes toward the end of “Crossing Over,” one wonders whether it will be sanitized out completely from the movie, which has already wrapped filming. That’s a likely bet.
The Weinsteins say they removed the scene because:

While we believe strongly in freedom of expression, we also believe in the importance of constructive dialogue between artists and the communities they seek to portray.

Apparently they and Wayne Kramer had no dialogue between their own community of fellow co-religionists because these scenes remain:
* Gavin Kossef, a Jewish illegal alien Hebrew Teacher (who barely knows Hebrew) from South Africa, and the Israeli principal of the L.A. Jewish school where he teaches discuss their plan to openly defraud Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) officials so he can get U.S. citizenship and keep teaching at the school. This is phony, since there are no shortage of U.S. citizens trying to get jobs at Hebrew schools. And unlike him, they can actually speak Hebrew.
* Gavin is sleeping with an illegal alien Australian actress who is also sleeping with a CIS adjudicator, so she can get citizenship. After one of their sex-scenes, she throws a Siddur (Jewish prayer book) at his naked body, while she gets dressed. Ask yourself: Would this scene remain in the movie if it was a Koran being thrown? Trust me, if this guy doesn’t know Hebrew and is sleeping around with a gentile actress, he ain’t carrying around a Siddur (it’s in Hebrew).
* The CIS adjudicator assigned to Gavin’s case doesn’t believe he knows Hebrew, that he is lying to get a special skills visa (as I said before, Hebrew-speaking is not a “special skill”; Enough Americans speak it to keep the Hebrew schools running). The adjudicator brings in a rabbi, Rabbi Yoffie, to hear Gavin sing a Hebrew song or prayer. Gavin hasn’t a clue and sings something completely jumbled and non-sensical. Yet, the “trusted Rabbi” lies to the adjudicator, saying Gavin did well, and bingo, he’s approved.
Yes, Muslim imams never do this, but Rabbis are defrauding immigration all the time. Right? That’s despite report after report from Homeland Security and Congress that MUSLIMS–not Jews, not any other religion–are fraudulently obtaining special visas for “religious workers.” But, hey, it’s Hollywood. Who cares about facts?
And while we’re discussing facts, there are the “facts” of Writer/Director Wayne Kramer that remain in question. He recently became a U.S. citizen, and as Sultan Knish (who gave me a lot of background on Kramer) points out, Kramer says the script is based on his own life:

“I’ve lived every step of the way in the screenplay. The average American citizen does not understand how hard it is to get status in America.”
The director said the immigration issue is much bigger than people crossing the Mexican border illegally. For that reason, his script also examines “how the system works and who are the people caught up in it and forced to do fraudulent things.”

Sultan Knish notes that like, Gavin Kossef, the Jewish South-African character who defrauds Immigration officials to get citizenship, Kramer is also a Jewish South-African. And Sultan Knish raises another point:

It’s also listed elsewhere that Kramer had malaria back in South Africa. Is malaria a condition that bars immigrants? Did he lie about it?

Is Wayne Kramer “Gavin”? Did he fraudulently obtain citizenship? If so, his citizenship application can be re-opened and he can be stripped of it and deported.
Based on this horrid PC movie, that would be just desserts. But don’t hold your breath for ICE and CIS–the two largest Homeland Security agencies–to even care.
Their “leadership” is too busy doing more important things, like recruiting new Muslim agents to honor-kill their sisters.

**** UPDATE: New Video Posted Below. SCROLL DOWN. ****

We’ve long known that Islamofascist Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat didn’t exactly practice the Islam that he preached. I’ve always said that he was gay, that he died of AIDS (I said so on the day of his death on the Howard Stern Show and, later, on this site– and ), and that the daughter his wife bore is the product of someone else’s sperm or artificial insemination of his. That’s important, not only because of his hypocrisy, but because gays are persecuted by the Palestinian “government(s),” including with the death penalty.

Now, it’s official. Arafat’s doctor admitted he died of AIDS and cites this video, below. Carl in Jerusalem has interesting info about Fatah-Al-Yasser, a new Palestinian Islamic terrorist group, a “West Bank” offshoot of HAMAS, that bears the first name of the departed Arafat, May He Burn in Hell:

Aren’t you glad he donated blood for the victims of 9/11? Thankfully, the blood was not used.

Michael “” Chertoff, once again–actually, twice again–displays why Abraham Lincoln gave good advice when he counseled against speaking and confirming you are a dummy.
* On Monday, he said this:

It chills me sometimes to think there are people a half a world away who are spending the same period of time in a cave, trying to figure out how to kill us.

“See No Terrorism, Hear No Terrorism”:
The Michael “Serpenthead” Chertoff Story
No, what’s really chilling is that there’s a person heading what’s supposed to be “Homeland Security” who still doesn’t know that those people are NOT “a half a world away.” They are here, Dhummi. Were the “a half a world away”? Were the “Lackawanna Six” “a half a world away”? Was Nuradin Abdi, who wanted to blow up a shopping mall in Ohio and just pleaded guilty, “a half a world away”? Is “a half a world away”? Are , the two Smiling Muslim Mugshot “Just Fireworks” terrorists caught Saturday Night on a highway in South Carolina with pipe bombs “a half a world away”? Was “a half a world away”? Were the JFK plotters “a half a world away”?
I could go on forever, but you get the point. Too bad the “Serpenthead” does not, since he’s one of the ones who most needs to. Maybe that jibes with his little , here in Detroit. They are their congregants are under investigation for various ties to and money-laundering for terrorists. But they really couldn’t be bad because, after all, they’re not within his geographical distinction for terrorists, “a half a world away.” Gee, where were Mohammed Atta and his 18 “co-workers” on 9/11? I guess they weren’t terrorists, after all, because, hey, they were not “a half a world away.”
As my friend, the brilliant patriot Ruth S. King, writes:

WILL SOMEONE TELL CHERTOFF THAT THE ENEMY IS HERE . . . PREPARING?

Un-fricking-believable, this guy, Mr. “Gut Feeling.”
* Yesterday, there was this BS from Chertoff on the :

“Whatever turns out to be the case with these two individuals, it underscores the importance of people being alert,” Chertoff said. “Even if this turns out to be benign, if it turns out not to be a big deal, this is the kind of alertness and response that creates real homeland security for the people of this state as well as the country as a whole.” . . .
Chertoff said he would not speculate as to whether the incident is related to an act of terrorism.
“It is up to the court system now to resolve it,” he said.

If he’s too wimpy and PC to see this as terrorism, just what is terrorism? Pipe bombs are just fashion accessories for Muslims? Just curious. Pipe bombs can be “benign”?
Well, at least he’s consistent. He’s not calling these guys “terrorists” because by his geographical definition, they simply can’t be. After all, the are not “a half a world away.” So how could they possibly be terrorists?
Memo to Next President: Do Not Hire Incompetent Harvard Lawyer to Head Homeland Security. Duh.
Chertoff, You’re Doin’ a Heckuva Job.
