Do we also need the "do not try this at home" disclaimer?
Yes indeed, good ideas.

Good informative post...
It suggests, that a newspaper could easily dedicate a page or two to just illegal aliens.
It’s amazing and not a bit surprising of the amount of traffic accidents along the Southern highways. I used to travel I-8 in Arizona because of the low traffic and open roads. Illegals have the same idea. Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas have without question, become very dangerous.
Laredo, Texas and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico are the most dangerous border towns in the U.S.. For a long time, finding dead females in Juarez, Mexico was as common as finding dead cockroaches, but Nuevo Laredo has taken over the headlines. The least desired job in Nuevo Laredo, is law enforcement. The average life expectancy varies from a few hours, a day, and two weeks. It’s liken to a surreal life and death paint ball game. Whereas, you get the job, they paint a target on you, then you run for your life. Wacky, not so, but very true. Mexican gangs and drug cartel are in control, not Fox’s corrupt military.
I think they gave up on the May 1, protest because of several reasons. First, Mexican flags waving in the breeze, and chants of “this last land is our land,” on American TV didn't go over very well. Second, May 1, is still the world communist party’s holiday. The organizers (communist party USA and others) finally realized that tying the illegal immigration cause to a dead red star was going look even worse.
On the bright side, the protests exposed the large numbers of illegals, and made the American couch potato aware that he/she was being invaded by a people flipping off American sovereignty and rule of law. Moreover showed, that any false way of entry, SS cards, driver license, multiple aliases goes with them.
Also, our government has shown to be woefully sleep walking and misleading us to believe that all of this is just a bowl of cherries. It also exposed, that American employers are more cheap labor motivated, then about long term social ills, who will pay for those mindless sicknesses. The American trial lawyers are no doubt scheming and licking their chops as to how to to keep 12 million illegals tied up in U.S. Courts, at the expense of the taxpayers. Full employment is great, isn't it!
In all, a big, huge wake up call. If we sit back, and say or do nothing, then we can’t ever complain one iota later.

"CIA Officer Fired for Leaking Classified Info to Media"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "WASHINGTON — A CIA officer has been relieved of his duty after being caught leaking classified information to the media.
CIA officials will not reveal the officer's name, assignment, or the information that was leaked. The firing is a highly unusual move, although there has been an ongoing investigation into leaks in the CIA.
One official called this a "damaging leak" that deals with operational information and said the fired officer "knowingly and willfully" leaked the information to the media and "was caught."
The CIA officer was not in the public affairs office, nor was he someone authorized to talk to the media."

State says clerical error to blame for unaccounted anthrax

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - New Jersey health officials on Friday said they cannot account for some anthrax once thought to be stored at a government laboratory, but said mistakes during previous inventories of the deadly bacteria may be to blame.

"AP: FBI Says 2 in Ga. Plotted Terrorism"
Apr 21st - 1:10pm
By GIOVANNA DELL'ORTO Associated Press Writer
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "ATLANTA (AP) - A 21-year-old Georgia Tech student and another man traveled to Canada to meet with Islamic extremists to discuss "strategic locations in the United States suitable for a terrorist strike," according to an affidavit made public Friday.
Syed Haris Ahmed and Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, both U.S. citizens who grew up in the Atlanta area, met with at least three other targets of ongoing FBI terrorism investigations during a trip to Canada in March 2005, the FBI agent's affidavit said.
The affidavit said the men discussed attacks against oil refineries and military bases and planned to travel to Pakistan to get military training at a terrorist camp, which authorities said Ahmed then tried to do."

United States Attorney David E. Nahmias
Northern District of Georgia
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 2006
http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/gan/
CONTACT: Patrick Crosby
(404)581-6016
FAX (404)581-6160
ATLANTA MAN INDICTED FOR MATERIAL SUPPORT OF TERRORISM
ATLANTA - A federal grand jury in Atlanta has indicted Syed Haris Ahmed, 21, of Atlanta, on a charge of material support of terrorism.
"This indictment is the first public result of an extensive and ongoing terrorism investigation led by the Atlanta Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF)," said United States Attorney David E. Nahmias. "The agents of the JTTF have worked with great diligence and skill in developing the evidence that was presented to the grand jury. This is the first international terrorism charge filed in Georgia. The charge against Mr. Ahmed is serious and involves national security, and it will be prosecuted with that in mind."
The indictment was returned under seal on March 23, 2006. The only allegations or facts about the case that are currently in the public record are those in the indictment. The body of the indictment reads as follows:
From on or before March 2005 until the date of this indictment, in the Northern District of Georgia and elsewhere, the defendant, Syed Haris Ahmed, a person within the jurisdiction of the United States, did knowingly and unlawfully provide, attempt to provide, and conspire with others known and unknown to provide material support and resources, and to conceal and disguise the nature, location, source, and ownership of material support and resources, knowing and intending that the material support and resources were to be used in preparation for and for carrying out a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 956 (conspiracy to kill, kidnap, maim, or injure persons or damage property in a foreign country) and 2332b (acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries), all in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2339A(a).
"During the course of the investigation, the JTTF worked diligently with many different government agencies both here and abroad," Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Atlanta Office Gregory Jones said. "These partnerships along with a variety of investigative techniques enabled the FBI to effectively disrupt and prevent any potential threats whether here in the United States or internationally. The Atlanta JTTF, which is composed of local, state and Federal investigators, has been fully engaged over the past several months with this terrorism investigation. Let me assure you that at no time were we aware of an immediate danger to the Atlanta area or the United States."
According to United States Attorney Nahmias and documents presented in court:
Ahmed was arrested on the afternoon of March 23, after the indictment was returned. Later that day, he spoke by telephone with United States Magistrate Judge Joel M. Feldman, who advised him of his rights and determined he was eligible for appointed counsel. Magistrate Judge Feldman then appointed an experienced criminal defense lawyer, John R. (Jack) Martin, to represent Ahmed. On March 24, after meeting with his counsel, Ahmed signed a voluntary, written waiver of his right to an initial appearance and arraignment, including his right to a bond hearing; that waiver was filed with the court. The waiver was extended, in writing and with the advice of his counsel, on March 31 and April 7; each waiver was filed with the court. On April 13, counsel for the Government and for Ahmed met with Judge Feldman to request that the initial appearance and arraignment be scheduled for April 19. On April 19, Ahmed appeared before Judge Feldman and entered a plea of not guilty. Judge Feldman ordered Ahmed to be detained pending trial. Judge Feldman also entered an order declaring the case to be complex for speedy trial and discovery purposes, and the case was assigned to United States District Judge Clarence Cooper for trial. No other proceedings are currently scheduled.
Since his arrest, Ahmed has been detained in facilities regularly used by the United States Marshals Service to detain pre-trial federal defendants. From the day after his arrest, his location has been known to his lawyer and his family, who have been able to visit with him. The location is not being made public because of the nature of the case.
All of the documents and proceedings in this case were placed under seal by order of the court, at the joint request of the Government and Ahmed. The court unsealed the documents earlier today at the request of the Government, based upon the public reporting of Ahmed's arrest and developments in the ongoing investigation.
The charge in the indictment carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
This case is being investigated by agents of the Atlanta Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), which is led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Atlanta Division.
United States Attorney David Nahmias and Assistant United States Attorneys Robert McBurney and Katherine Monahan are prosecuting the case.
Members of the public are reminded that the indictment contains only allegations. A defendant is presumed innocent of the charges and it will be the government's burden to prove a defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.

Moussaoui craves martyrdom
That is, Islamic martyrdom, which involves killing and being killed in the service of Allah (cf. Qur'an 9:111). The-Americans-Love-Pepsi-Cola-We-Love-Death Alert from AP, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
ZACARIAS Moussaoui, who has pleaded guilty to conspiracy in the September11, 2001 terror attacks in the United States, craves martyrdom and would be disappointed not to be sentenced to death, said a British imam acquainted with him.
In court in Alexandria, Virginia, US, however, Moussaoui has expressed a belief that US president George Bush will release him from prison....
“It is my personal belief that the reason he is doing this is that he wants that martyr status,” Abdul Haq Baker, chairperson of the Brixton mosque in south London, said yesterday.
“If he receives the death penalty, he believes in the eyes of the Muslim community he will be seen as a martyr,” Baker said in an interview with BBC radio.
“If that is discredited in any way by questions of his sanity, then he will just be locked up in prison for a long time, and that will not give him any credibility at all.”...
“He wanted a sense of belonging, and there was frustration at what was being seen as atrocities being committed in the Muslim world,” Baker said.
“He was actively seeking a reason for jihad.
“We had conversations about that.
“He asked me ‘Where is the next jihad?’ and do I know where jihad is, and I said ‘No, I don’t.’
“He got very frustrated, because he believed I was withholding information from him.
“He was actively seeking a battlefield.”

"Private Airports Urged to Boost Security After Web Forum Posting"
The Associated Press
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The government is encouraging private jet owners and airports to boost security after a message posted in Arabic on a Web forum last week urged Muslims to destroy such aircraft.
The Transportation Security Administration issued a security advisory that quoted the message as saying, "Destroy private American aircraft...We call upon all Muslims to follow and identify private civilian American aircrafts in all airports of the world."
"It is the duty of Muslims to destroy all types of private American aircrafts that are of the types Gulf Stream and Lear Jet and all small jet aircraft usually used by distinguished (people) and businessmen," the April 13 message said, according to the TSA."
