"Speak no evil: The new EU lexicon on terrorism"
Apr 24, 2006
by Diana West ( bio | archive | contact )

COMMENTARY SNIPPET: "How wunderbar, merveilleux and perfectly ripping that the European Union is creating a new "lexicon" to discuss Islam and terrorism so as never to conflate the two. The Telegraph tells us that EU officials -- having double-checked that George Orwell and his satirical pen are dead and gone -- are putting together a "non-emotive lexicon for discussing radicalization."

Islamic "radicalization," that is."

Couple From England Charged With Smuggling Cash Into U.S.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents arrested a British couple arriving in Phoenix on a flight from London after discovering more than $130,000 in cash secreted in their luggage, officials said.

David Robinson, 41, and Tracy Jane Robinson, 33, were arrested Saturday after customs officials found the cash during a screening at Sky Harbor International Airport, said Brian Levin, a Customs spokesman. The Robinsons are from Portsmouth.

The couple were charged in a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Phoenix on Monday with evading currency reporting laws which require those entering the country to declare cash in excess of $10,000.

The Robinsons told customs inspectors they were coming to Phoenix to visit a friend and were unemployed. Suspicious agents asked how they could afford the trip, and then searched their luggage and found large bundles of money taped to the insides of several pairs of jeans, according to a Customs agent's affidavit filed in support of the charges.

The couple later told agents a man who had previously sold them marijuana offered them $1,000 and four days in Phoenix if they could carry a suitcase with them, the affidavit said.
