A horrible twist to that tale also, but very worrying concerning the security lapse.

How can this be improved because it has to get better.

Well Michelle do you think the dead man sent notice to everyone saying, "Please cancel my request as I am now dead." ???

Michelle is a smart cookie but lately she is reaching.

Welcome to FReeRepublic.

What are you thoughts on this?

Bush has had 3 years to hold people accountable and almost no one has been held accountable. We are only now cleaning out the viper's nest of left-wing partisans and outright Osama worshipping kooks at CIA.

Pathetic.

They could have sold that document for big bucks to some guys with names like Mohammed or Abu or whatever. Phony license, phony ID, phony green card.

So what if it's difficult? (In fact it's not hard-- just about every death is reported to the SS admin).

How much money are we paying thousands of people to get it right? How many more people have to get killed before we have Federal agemcies effective at monitoring immigrants?

Much as I enjoy Malkin's columns, I think she's stretching it here. There's no central record of deaths for either citizens on non-citizens, so how was INS to know if his survivors didn't tell them?

She might better have remarked on the application's taking (at least) three and a half years to filter through the system.

So we clean house at the CIA but does this fix things elsewhere?

The bureaucrats it would seem need to be connected to databases within the security agencies. this then leads to data security issues I would guess? Could those bureaucrats be trusted with that data?

I didn't say that all is well. But this story is a waste of print. Interdepartmental communication is abysmal at all levels of government. Posting deaths is not going to save any lives. So much more than Michelle knows is going on to monitor those who pose a threat. More needs to be done. But this story is a non-story IMHO.

Not only that, but a few weeks after 9-11, a new a dozen or so Syrian nationals came to Meacham Field in Fort Worth to start training to be pilots.

Thank you.

She gets on my last nerve with the attitude and tone she adopts. She'll excite a certain faction but turn the rest of us off.

Cat got your tongue? Or do you just not have an opinion on your post? If that is the case why did you post it? Are you fearful of the threat that dead people pose?

Speak up

The only thing pathetic is your whining and disingenousness.

Well I was definitely on her side when she was attacked by the spitter on Hardboiled.

She hits the mark sometimes but this one and a few others lately indicate she is just writing.
