Remember the bulk, disposable TracFone cellphone purchasers—-who were arrested in Southern Ohio, last year.
The Dearbornistan residents admitted to Washington County Sheriffs that they knew what they were doing was wrong and that the phones wouldn’t be going for a good purpose.
Remember the three Jerusalem-born Palestinians—-also arrested, last summer for doing the same thing? They had a computer program, which altered the phones to rip off free cellular service from any phone company anywhere in the world. And they had photos of the grates of Michigan’s Mackinac Bridge. Hardly “touristy.”

Yet, despite all of this, the and immediately declared the Muslim cellphone purchasers innocent.
Well, as I recently told you, a Muslim was arrested in Texas, buying multiple cellphones. He . Last year, an Al-Qaeda training manual, which came to light last year, recommended that terrorists purchase disposable cellphones. And Zacarias Moussaoui–believed to be the 20th 9/11 hijacker–had a Nokia disposable TracFone.
Now, Al-Qaeda’s top IED maker tells TIME Magazine that he uses his Nokia cellphone (same brand as most of the disposables) to detonate the phones:

Saif Abdallah says his inventions have helped kill or maim scores, possibly hundreds, of Americans. For more than four years, he has been developing remote-control devices that Sunni insurgents use to detonate improvised explosive devices (IEDS), the roadside bombs that are the No. 1 killer of U.S. soldiers in Iraq. . . .
Such capacity for destruction makes him invaluable to the disparate groups that make up the Sunni insurgency, including al-Qaeda. “In our circle, everyone has heard of him,” says the commander of one rebel group, al-Nasr Salahdin.
Iraqi and American officials say they have shut down dozens of bomb factories, arrested nearly 18,000 insurgents and killed more than 3,000 others. But the only metric that matters to Abdallah is the number of Americans killed. By that measure, he figures his side is winning. U.S. casualties have risen every month since February, just after the start of President Bush’s surge strategy to quell the bloody Shi’ite-Sunni war. At least 230 service personnel were killed in April and May, making it the deadliest two-month period for U.S. troops since the war began. . . .
Their [Al-Qaeda terrorists in Iraq] most potent weapons are the roadside bombs being fashioned by men like Abdallah, which now account for roughly 80% of U.S. deaths, up from 50% at the start of the year. “People are calling me all the time, asking for new ways to …” Abdallah says, pressing down his right thumb on an imaginary remote control, and adds, “… Boom!” . . .
Abdallah says he has been asked to make trigger devices that work from as close as 75 feet away. . . . To demonstrate his prowess, he produces a black briefcase-size device with Japanese markings and flicks a switch on its side. He claims that the device is similar to those used by U.S. troops to block cellular signals around IEDs and disable bombs wired to detonate with a cell-phone call. Abdallah says he was given the device by a Saudi militant who asked him to find a way around jamming signals. He invites the four people in the room to try to use their cell phones; none of us can get a signal. “I’ve jammed you all,” he says, tapping the black device. But his own phone, a cheap Nokia, shows a full-strength signal. “I made a few small changes inside,” he says, holding up the phone and grinning triumphantly. “It took me just one day to figure it out.” It is grim evidence of the perils facing the U.S. in Iraq that men like Abdallah can still make killing Americans look easy.

Yes, these are the phones American Muslim travelers criss-cross American buying and shipping elsewhere. This is where a lot of them are going–to kill American soldiers.
So, what happened to Ali Houssaiky, one of the Dearbornistan residents arrested (who pleaded guilty to lying to the police)? Well, he’s still buying the phones in bulk. One store owner claimed to have found a Vicodin prescription Houssaiky allegedly dumped in the garbage outside the store. The man Houssaiky was buying the phones for in Dearbornistan has the same name as a man arrested in Jordan for making insurgent car bombs in Iraq to blow up embassies. They are probably related.
And Houssaiky’s been questioned by the FBI in West Virginia. Houssaiky showed one store owner the FBI agent’s card and laughed. I’d laugh, too, if I were him. He continues to buy the phones under the nose of the FBI, even while similar purchasers have admitted the phones are used in bombs, the bombmakers in Iraq admit the phones are used in bombs against our troops, Al-Qaeda recommends buying disposable cellphones, a convicted Qaeda terrorist–Moussaoui–owned a disposable Nokia phone, and there are plenty of other suspicious circumstances connected to them.
Yet, the FBI continues to do nothing. And Ali Houssaiky continues to buy phones. Yes, that is a source of laughter . . . if you are Ali Houssaiky.
But not if you are an American soldier blown to shreds.

**** UPDATE: Click on the links which go right to Scotland Yard’s files. The links in the second indented paragraph are especially interesting. They are the extensive Al-Qaeda reports on various New York sites and buildings. They are so extensive, with such confidential security details, that a lot of the reports are redacted. Still interesting to read though. These aren’t amateurs. ****
On Friday, London’s Scotland Yard released Al-Qaeda videos, maps, and plans for attack on New York’s financial district.
The materials were compiled by members of a terror cell run by Qaeda “general” Dhiren Barot. Seven members of his cell were convicted in the London bombing plot.

Al-Qaeda’s Map of Attacks in NYC
Although we already knew of the plot, the details of how extensive it was were never before made public. And the materials are important because they confirm plot details that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed revealed to the CIA under questioning. The videos put the lie to many on the far left–like Rosie O’Donnell– who claim that Mohammed only admitted to plots and detailed them because he was tortured, and that his admissions were fraudulent. They also put the lie to those who claimed that President Bush and then-DHS Secretary Tom Ridge fraudulently raised alert levels in New York City and made up reports about possible terrorist attacks. More from NBC News and WNBC reporter Jonathon Dienst:

As the 9-11 Commission Report stated, “KSM claims, at Bin Ladin’s direction in early 2001, he sent Britani (Barot’s alias) to the United States to case potential economic and “Jewish” targets in New York City.”
The map released Friday lays out the route Barot took around Lower Manhattan in April 2001, as he moved from location to location, shooting short videos of each site:

* New York Stock Exchange
* NYSE and surrounding area
* NYSE Visitor Center entrance
* NYPD officer in a police car
* Entrance to NYSE
* Liberty Plaza and North and South Towers of World Trade Center
* Fire Department New York station
* Nitrogen gas cylinders, which provide nitrogen for the New York subway system

In addition to the surveillance tapes, Barot kept specific notes about security in and around the targeted buildings:

* At Citicorp, for example, he mapped the best place to plant bombs, kept track of security personnel and times of heaviest pedestrian flow, and highlighted exact times and locations of when puppet shows for children are held in the building’s atrium;
* At the Stock Exchange, he had detailed information on the building itself. He timed traffic lights and patterns and mapped out detailed escape routes for bombers through subway and sewage tunnels;
* At the Prudential building, he had the exact location of the garage, timed traffic lights around the building and suggested driving and exploding an oil tanker through the lobby to bring down the building; and
* As previously released documents show, Barot planned to use gas-filled limousines as bombs. The document also refers to the Madrid bombings of March 11, 2004 as a “respectable project” that “deserved to be emulated.”

After Sept. 11 and the subsequent U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, the plot fell apart, although one of Friday’s documents – a World Bank directory from 2003 – showed that at the very least, Barot hoped to carry out the attacks.

Even though we know they are always on the prowl for another attack on American soil, it’s still chilling to read the details. . . and to know that, someday (perhaps soon), someone else will have similar plans and won’t get caught.

He’s Baaaaack!
Remember Tom Ridge, the first incompetent, do-nothing Secretary of Homeland Security? Well, he’s back–tan, rested, and ready.
Ridge moved up from making silly commercials with his wife about having enough water and duct tape, is now a paid “consultant” to a travel industry group, Discover America Partnership. As I’ve repeatedly written, the travel industry opposes virtually every national security measure taken to protect and strengthen our borders. They’re interested only in getting paid for bringing the aliens here. Who the aliens are and what they want to do once they get here simply isn’t a concern to this industry without a conscience.

Tom Ridge: Shows Us How Much He Did @ DHS
Their new spokesman, Ridge, is upset that we are allegedly not “welcoming” tourists into America and giving them free reign. If only we weren’t. But, unfortunately, as we continued to do under his post 9/11 “leadership,” we are, indeed, welcoming plenty of “tourists” onto our shores who then become part of the 20 million-and-growing illegal alien masses.
Remember the –which lets hundreds of thousands of criminals and terrorists into our country, no questions asked (and no visa required)? The ridiculous program should be ENDED. But, incredibly, Ridge wants the Visa Waiver program expanded.
I’ve written about . It not only allows hundreds aliens (from countries which are supposedly our allies) into the country without a visa, but that means there is no extensive background check or interview with a U.S. embassy about why they are coming here. They just get to come on over, no restrictions. The program has been used by plenty of dangerous alien Muslims to come into our country and try to foment terrorist plots and other manifestations of Muslim extremism. And–surprise!–they don’t leave at the end of 90 days, like they are supposed to.
Ridge wants us to be nicer and friendlier to aliens:

The USA needs to do a better job welcoming international visitors rather than treating them as security threats, says Tom Ridge, the first chief of the Department of Homeland Security.
“We’d darn well better,” says Ridge, a former Pennsylvania governor who is now working in business. “Our ability to influence events around the world will rely more and more in the future on our ability to influence people.”

Memo to Mr. Ridge:
Our ability to influence people around the world will rely more on whether they respect our toughness and strength or laugh at our lack of it. Bending over backward and forward for our enemies in the name of selling plane tickets, hotel rooms, and car rentals will only make us more vulnerable in the world.
That Ridge didn’t recognize this after serving as the first Homeland Security chief should make us grateful he’s gone from that perch. He’s a high-class prostitute, with absolutely no principle. Just how much did it take for the travel industry to buy him? Unfortunately, his replacement is just as bad, if not worse.
Among Ridge’s other dangerous and absurd recommendations:
* Expanding the trusted traveler program on an international basis:
Just what we need–allowing more aliens to forgo extensive scrutiny at airport security. Many of the 9/11 hijackers–with no criminal background or record–would have qualified for the trusted traveler program.
* Forcing airlines to collect a $10 fee from alien tourists to pay for foreign marketing of U.S. travel and a system to records visitors’ exits:
Yes, more fees to help give more corporate welfare to his chosen industry. And more money for a system we already have in place–U.S. VISIT (which is supposed to track alien entries and exits)–but which plenty of money thrown at it has done nothing to fix.
Like I said, glad this guy is gone from DHS. Taking bets on where his equally awful replacement, Michael Chertoff, will go after he leaves. For which industry will he pimp?
Since Ridge already has the travel industry locked up, I suggest Chertoff become the spokesmodel for Bin Laden, Inc. With his support for open borders and amnesty and his lax attention to all Homeland Security domains under his control, he’s apparently apprenticing for that job, already.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
While most American fathers love their children and want to be involved in their lives, the Mainstream Media has spent the last week attacking them in anticipation of today, Father’s Day. The annual drumbeat against Dads is getting louder and louder in a manner you’d never hear regarding Mom.

Photo by Trevor Romain of Trevor’s Blog
(Read Trevor’s Touching Letter to His Father)
Instead of hearing about the many dedicated, loving, concerned fathers, we hear about sperm donor fathers who sleep around and aren’t their for the kids they fathered. Or “deadbeat dads” (which I prefer to call “deadbeat parents”–there are, indeed, mothers in this group). And, for those who are in the picture, we hear about absentee fathers who spend all day at work, slaves to their job. Because, after all, their role is . . . not to be a breadwinner and put food on the table? A hard-working father is now a national villain.
I frequently site studies done by the National Fatherhood Initiative that fathers and dads portrayed on TV are largely idiots, screw-ups, losers, jerks who womanize and sleep around, and other assorted malefactors. That’s in the cases where there even is a father figure around on TV. Usually, there is not, though even in those cases, he is referred to negatively.
But now, on Thursday, USA Today informed America that America’s dads are not even good enough to measure up to Homer Simpson, and that–again–they work too hard and should be home more. Ludicrous. McNewspaper tells us that slacker dads who stay home as Mr. Moms are preferable. Puh-leeze.
Sorry, but I just can’t believe most people would rate Homer Simpson as better than their own Dad. TV really is having a negative “Defining Dad Down” effect:

Fathers in the USA are a lot less supportive and accepting than TV sitcom dads, even falling short of the low bar set by Homer Simpson, a study of college students’ views suggests.
Many young people blame constant work demands–seldom portrayed on TV–for draining their fathers’ energy and time from parenting, says Janice Kelly, a communications researcher at Marymount Manhattan College in New York.
She showed episodes from eight comedies to 108 college students. The programs were as diverse as The George Lopez Show, The Simpsons, My Wife and Kids and Everyone Loves Raymond. She asked the students to rate TV fathers and their own on such qualities as support, guidance, acceptance of other family members and oppositional behavior (for example, ridiculing children). On every measure, TV fathers were rated significantly better than the students’ own dads.
Comments invited during the study were revealing, Kelly says. One young person wrote: “My father works two jobs to support the family. I don’t get to see him when he comes home, he’s tired.” Children from white-collar families portrayed their fathers as tethered to BlackBerrys and e-mail, fearful of losing their jobs. “One girl said: ‘So that’s why he makes pancakes on the weekend. He feels guilty,’ ” Kelly says.

These are bad Dads?! Sounds like they gave birth to a bunch of very spoiled, unappreciative brats. Me, me, me. If kids complained about their mothers being tethered to Blackberrys or working too much, the media would call them sexist and misogynist.

Everyone knows TV isn’t life, “but still, the real dad is being judged poorly compared to these television daddies,” says Glenn Good, an expert in the psychology of men at the University of Missouri. “There’s a lot of research showing these programs can create norms of what’s right.”
Many fathers see holding on to jobs as key to good parenting of their kids, he adds, but it’s a challenging economic time. Men’s real income from all sources fell from 2000 to 2005, according to U.S. government figures.
Several studies confirm that fathers are spending more time than ever on child care, says Vincent DiCaro of the non-profit National Fatherhood Initiative. It’s unknown whether Gen X and Y fathers–born between 1965 and 1994–will be seen as more nurturing than baby-boom fathers, DiCaro says. There’s very little research on the parenting of earlier generations of men, he says.

Sounds like Dads are being rated on whether they are good mothers, not good fathers. It used to be a father was a good father if he provided for his family. Now, that doesn’t count. Instead, he’s rated on nurturing?! Al-Qaeda is laughing at our girlie-man nation’s mentality.

Kelly says TV writers should show more of this true-life work/family conflict.
But that won’t happen, says Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University. “Working families are having a hard enough time balancing child care and jobs. Do you want to sit down and watch this at night? Most people would run away screaming.”
To the contrary, Thompson says, family sitcoms already “are on life support,” fast disappearing, because stressed-out viewers crave “anesthesia” in over-the-top “reality” and other escapist shows.
“It’s disturbing to think that kids might judge their dad as worse than Homer Simpson,” he says. “Ward Cleaver was one thing–nobody could measure up–but sitcom dads today are flawed at best.”

(Agreed on Homer. But speak for yourself on Mr. Cleaver. My Dad does measure of to Cleaver and surpasses him in every way.)
In a TV.com poll, Mr. Bennett of “Heroes,” Homer Simpson, Tony Soprano, Peter Griffin of “Family Guy,” and Commander Adama of “Battlestar Galactica” were the TV dads 6,800 voters chose as those they wish were their dads.
This is just as disturbing. Do you really want Homer Simpson, Tony Soprano, or Peter Griffin as your dad? Are you really that dissatisfied with your own father? Oy. Is this really where we are at in America, today?
Fathers are under attack, not only from the Mainstream Media, but our legal system and laws. According to divorce attorney Dennis Vatsis, in over 70% of divorce cases in Michigan, for example, a father does not get physical custody of his children. When you add in cases where the father does not get any form of custody (such as joint custody), the cases exceed 90%, where the mother has custody, not the father.
The laws are skewed against fathers. We should not wonder why psycho-liberal Alec Baldwin attained a new level of crazy in a voice-mail to his young daughter. There are so many cases like it, in which mothers who have custody of their children turn them against their fathers forever. We should not condemn the frustration of fathers who are fed up with being shut out.
On a happier note, this Father’s Day, I salute my Dad, a devoted, mainstream American Dad who served his country and loves his family. My dad taught me so many things in my life and has always been there for me. My father gave me love, education, sage wisdom and advice, and moral support. I am so fortunate and appreciative. Most important, my father taught me to have the courage of my convictions and to passionately fight for them above financial gain.
The Greek Philosopher, Epicurus, said, “Of all the things that wisdom provides to help one live one’s entire life in happiness, the greatest by far is friendship.” Thanks for being my greatest friend, Dad, and Happy Father’s Day! I’m lucky to have you, and I hope there are many more Father’s Days with you.
I love you very much.
***
Let’s also not forget that there are hundreds of thousands of American Dads who are not in their children’s lives at the moment, not by choice, but because they are busy sacrificing and fighting for our country overseas. Many of them try to stay in their kids lives–many of whom were born while they’ve been away and have yet to see them–over the phone, e-mail, etc. Let’s recognize them and their important contributions on this Father’s day.

This weekend’s big box office release, “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” the sequel to 2005’s “Fantastic Four,” is much better than the first installment. But, then, that’s not saying much, since the first one was so lackluster and silly.
Here’s the scoop: The earth’s energy and power is being sucked out of it by a cloud/planet (“Galactus” in the F4 comic books). The earth will cease to exist, unless it is saved, which–of course!–happens, courtesy of the “Fantastic Four.” Sort of. Actually, in this one, the villain–the “Silver Surfer”–saves the day. He is sent here to do the cloud/planet’s bidding.

What I did NOT like about this movie was the VERY CLEAR statement against our military, Guantanamo, and torture of terrorists. In one scene, we see the Fantastic Four being held prisoner by the U.S. military, in a jail-like facility like Gitmo. The U.S. General who heads the place wants to torture the villainous “Silver Surfer” to get the truth out of him about the plot against the Earth. Jessica Alba a/k/a “Susan Storm” a/k/a “The Invisible Woman” yells and screams against the torture of the innocent alien terrorist being. She sneaks into his chamber and is nice to him. Because of that, he is nice back, shares the plot, and eventually helps save the day–by betraying his evil alien planet master.
Like that ever would happen. Yeah–We play nice-nice to Islamic terrorists, and then they spill everything AND turn against Bin Laden and Islam AND save us from Al-Qaeda. Uh, sadly, NO. Only in some liberal’s dreams. Back to reality.
Ironically, this is the same beautiful and beautifully-stupid Jessica Alba who–in summer 2005, when the first “F4” debuted–was wailing against the War in Iraq in press interviews, . She was upset that, instead of a vacation in Italy, he was sent to Iraq.
Hey, Jessica, shut up and act. And get rid of the “Gitmo/U.S. torture of terrorists” political scene and statements from your superhero movie, while you’re at it.
I did like the Silver Surfer character, though. The movie was okay. But definitely not “Fantastic.”
(Although there are a few minor sex jokes/references, you can take your kids to see it. They won’t get the references.)

American Greetings has announced that the company is “coming out” with a new “ellen collection” of greeting cards, featuring the name, likeness, and “wit” (if you consider that “wit”) of comedienne and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
Not sure what the cards will say, but here’s my guess:

“Happy Birthday . . . and I’m Gay.”

Fortunately, the cards will not be “out” in time for Father’s Day. They arrive in drug and grocery stores on Monday. So, no, you can’t give a card–at least, this year–saying:

“Happy Father’s Day . . . . I’m Gay.”

And no

“Dear Butch Mommy #2: Happy Father’s Day.”

Nostra-TIME-us: Magazine Cover Previewed Sample Ellen Greeting Card
I predict this line of cards to be as successful as another gay-oriented product: the WNBA. Except that Ellen cards won’t be put on artificial, PC life-support for 11 years.
Think about it. Who the heck would want to give an Ellen DeGeneres card to anyone?
“Not that there’s anything wrong with that. . . .”

Today’s Wall Street Journal reports an interesting racial divide regarding who will be the real home-run king, should alleged steroid user Barry Bonds surpass Hank Aaron. In the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll,

A 58% majority of whites say they will still consider Hank Aaron baseball’s home-run king even if steroids-linked Barry Bonds passes him this summer, but a 38% plurality of blacks would consider Bonds the true record-holder . . . . Bonds’ negative ratings exceed his positive marks by 20 percentage points, slightly better than Bush’s net negative of 25 points.

One commenter, “KDM,” remarks:

So did Clinton [exceed Bush’s positives in surveys]: Who said cheaters never prosper? Although I would believe Clinton would never use steriods becase of the side effects.

Who Will Be the Real Home Run King?:
Hank Aaron v. Steroidal Barry Bonds

Now, he’s really gone too far.
Republican Party Chairman and Florida U.S. Senator Mel Martinez needs to get out of politics before he single-handedly (well, actually with the help of President George W. Bush and other Senators like Jon Kyl) destroys the Republican Party forever.
Today’s Wall Street Journal Washington Wire reports that–despite the GOP’s jilted lover stalking of the Hispanic vote (including such tactics as the Illegal Alien Amnesty Bill)–more Hispanics than ever identify themselves as Democrats rather than Republicans. A new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll finds that they identify 51% to 21% as Democrats to Republicans.
But, instead of facing the music that open borders advocacy doesn’t help the GOP even from a pragmatic, vote-whoring point of view, Martinez instead BLAMES America for “past foreign interventions in Latin American countries” for the downward decline in Hispanic GOP identification. And, Martinez maintains, “a skillful 2008 Republican candidate can recover.”

Sandinista, er . . . GOP Chairman, Senator Mel Martinez
HUH?????!!!!! Ronald Reagan is turning over in his grave . . . again.
The last American “foreign intervention in Latin America” was when we supported the Nicaraguan Freedom Fighters–the Contras–against the Communist tyranny of the Sandinistas, headed by Gucci-glasses, pre-Lasik Daniel Ortega. We need to “recover” from that?!
If only we had listened to Oliver North in Nicaragua’s elections, last year, and had But we did not, and .
And, guess what? Our lack of “foreign intervention in Latin America,” this time around, didn’t help the GOP, Senor Martinez.
But it did lead to this . . .
Mr. Martinez, time for you to say Adios . . . before the rest of America says Adios to you and your party.
Oh, and by the way, that same Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showed that fewer than 30% of members of both parties–the GOP and the Democrats–call the Senate immigration amnesty bill “acceptable.”
Like I said, take the hint, Mr. Martinez. Say bye-bye. Please.

In a bizarre liberal study marking Father’s Day, Yale researchers found that male Congressmen with daughters are more likely to vote for “reproductive rights”–the sanitized phrase for abortion:

The findings, an update to a study published last year by the National Bureau of Economic Research, also show that the more daughters a congressman had, the more likely he was to vote for reproductive rights, says Ebonya Washington, an assistant economics professor at Yale.
Her new research, not yet published, expands on an analysis she did of roll-call votes during the 105th Congress in 1997-98 when she examined family composition and compared the data with voting records compiled by other groups. She used rankings by the National Organization for Women, based on votes on 20 women’s issues such as equal rights, women’s safety, economic security, education, health and reproductive rights. She also reviewed voting data from the National Right to Life Committee.
Her new analysis included congressional votes through 2004 and added information from another group: the American Association of University Women. She again found voting record support for a daughter-to-father influence.

The conclusion they want you to get from this is that pro-life Congressmen are insensitive to women and don’t have contact with any.
But I’d draw a different conclusion: Congressmen who are liberal are more likely to have slutty daughters. And therefore, they are more likely to support abortion for selfish, personal reasons.
Another conclusion: If you are pro-life, don’t vote for candidates with daughters.

Someone please tell me how the Immigration Amnesty Bill will stop more cases like that of Adam Bender, a now former Customs and Border Protection (CBP) inspector at both Detroit-Windsor, Canada entries–the tunnel and the bridge:

A former U.S. border inspector pleaded guilty Wednesday to alien smuggling charges.
Adam Bender, 49, of Eastpointe pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Robert Cleland and faces up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine at sentencing Oct. 11.

“He was a dupe,” his lawyer, Marc Lakin of Birmingham, said Wednesday.
[DS: Riiiight.]
He said a co-defendant, Hassan Saad, 35, of Detroit, a roofing and home improvement contractor, befriended Bender and his family and exploited the relationship to smuggle friends and relatives into the U.S. for a profit. Lakin said Bender would wave through immigrants at the bridge and tunnel in Detroit, based on Saad’s word that they were legal.
[DS: Uh-huh. CBP inspectors at the border aren’t actually there to inspect the immigration status of parties entering the U.S. Instead, they’re there to be “duped” and to take the word Muslim Hezbollah supporters’ word for it that smuggled aliens are “legal.” Because they would nevah-evah lie.]
Saad has pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit alien smuggling and is awaiting sentencing. He faces a possible 6-12 month prison sentence based on an agreement with prosecutors. Saad told Cleland that he gave gifts and money to Bender.

More:

An associate of Bender’s, Hassan Saad, would accompany the aliens through Bender’s station at the U.S.-Canada border.
Saad, 35, of Detroit, and a Windsor man, Hani Bazzi, pleaded guilty earlier and await sentencing.

What neither article points out–and what I’ve reported many times on this site–is that the Bazzi family is a well-known Lebanese family active in Hezbollah. The family comes from the Hezbollah stronghold of Bint Jbeil in South Lebanon, where a Bazzi is the Hezbollah-installed Mayor. So, it’s safe to assume this CBP inspector, Adam Bender, was allowing Hezbollah illegals into America for bribes. GUH-REAT.
My sources at the border tell me there are plenty of Adam Benders who are never caught. They got lucky catching him. And hopefully, he gets the book thrown at him for betraying America at the northern border.
And the Bush immigration bill will stop them how?
