A man, who just two years ago was the poster boy for the far-Left media's attacks against the U.S. government's no-fly list for "unfairly" targeting Muslims, finds himself and several family members sitting in a Turkish prison -- arrested earlier this month near the Turkey-Syria border as members of an ISIS cell. It's a long way from 2013 when Saadiq Long's cause was being championed by MSNBC's Chris Hayes, Glenn Greenwald, and Mother Jones, and was being represented by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) terror front. His story got considerable media attention when his CAIR media representatives here pushed...

While the Post, Journal, and Times all ran quotes from one of the attackers as transcribed from a cell phone video filmed by a bystander, the Times curiously left out a portion of the rant where...

The online video that launched former U.S. Rep Anthony Weiner's New York City mayoral campaign Wednesday featured someone who until now had played a limited public role in his political life: his wife, Huma Abedin. Ms. Abedin opens the video in a shot that shows her and Mr. Weiner feeding breakfast to their son, and she closes it sitting beside the candidate on the stoop of a brownstone.
