Cheney warns of new attacks

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans — and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

Breaking NOW on FOX

US Coast Guard has “opened fire” on a suspicious boat in the Potomac.

[jersey117]

Wow. Thanks for the breaking news info.

[Velveeta]

CNN: Coast Guard fired 10 rounds at a boat on the Potomac River. Reuters calls it a “high security incident.”

[fanfan]

Thanks Velveeta. I should check my pings first, eh?

[Velveeta]

Nah...sometimes things happen fast.
Best to ping it and sort it out later. ;-)

[Velveeta]

Good grief.

Now FOX reporting this was a training exercise.

Catherine Herridge reporting it IS an exercise.

[fanfan]

I can’t believe it! An exercise, today???

[Velveeta]

Unfreakingbelievable!

Heads should roll for this idiocy.

It was probably Zero’s idea.

TSA Defends Holding Student With Arabic Flash Cards at Philadelphia Airport

The Transportation Security Administration is defending its treatment of a California college student who was detained at the Philadelphia airport after Arabic flash cards were found in his backpack.

Nick George, a senior at Pomona College, told a Philadelphia Daily News columnist that the stereo speakers he was carrying in his bag on Aug. 29 led TSA workers to pull him out of the metal detector line and search him.

When they found 200 Arabic/English flash cards in his carry-on, they escorted him to another screening area and questioned him for about 45 minutes, he said.

Suspicions may have been raised because his passport had stamps from Jordan, where he’d studied abroad, and from his trips to Egypt and the Sudan, the News reported. It didn’t help that “terrorist” and “explosion” were among the words on his flash cards — which George says he was using to help him understand Al Jazeera TV.......
