Thanks for the ping A_D.

A very disturbing story. I lived in Memphis for 10 years and was a police officer there for 8. My how things change in 20 years!

Most Memphians are apt to think of Homeland Security in Memphis as airport security, a solitary Coast Guard boat cruising up and down the Mississippi River between the bridges, a police car parked on the shoulder of the interstate, or inspectors and dogs checking packages at the FedEx Super Hub. The Mawlawi case puts a different light on things.

There is no doubt that this Country has been infiltrated in ALL areas, and we better not be relying on the FBI to protect us.

As Texas Cowboy would say..."Lock and Load"

Hi Jan.

You are so right about the infiltration. Now is the time for us all to take the responsibility for our safety and that of those around us. Stay vigilant!

OFF TOPIC:
Speaking of TexasCowboy, have you seen his prayer thread? His post surgery recovery is slow and painful. He really needs our prayers right now.

Here's the link.
