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.

It seemed to the state senator that it was urgent or an emergency situation as he put it.

I personally hope it’s more of the same ol stuff.

Oh don’t get me wrong, there are problems, some major ones and there are actually some people noticing now, but they have been there for years with nothing being done and I frankly don’t think anything will be done now.

Terror Training Camps on American Soil

Human Events ^ | February 19, 2009 | Robert Spencer

“We are fighting to destroy the enemy. We are dealing with evil at its roots and its roots are America.”

So said the Pakistani Sheikh Muburak Gilani, leader of the jihad terrorist group Jamaat ul-Fuqra. And the way that he and his organization are “dealing with evil at its roots” is to set up jihad terror training camps all over the United States -- often under the noses of government and law enforcement officials who are either indifferent or too hamstrung by political correctness to do anything about it.

Images depict Syrian chemical weapons site
February 18, 2009

A review of satellite imagery suggests activity at a site in northwest Syria is consistent with features associated with a chemical weapons site, analysts say.

A report from Jane's Intelligence Review says commercial satellite imagery of a site in Syria, al-Safir, depicts what are thought to be the defining characteristics of not only chemical weapons manufacturing, but also of heavy construction activity near a missile base.

Al-Qaida Holding 2 Canadians Hostage

CFRA News Staff
Wednesday, February 18, 2009

Al-Qaida members in North Africa say they are holding two Canadian diplomats and four western tourists hostage. The authenticity of the statement could not be independently verified, but was confirmed by a U.S. organization that monitors militant messages.

United Nations envoy Robert Fowler and his aide Louis Guay disappeared in Niger on December 14th. Western intelligence officials in Algeria say they believed the Canadian diplomats were first abducted by local gunmen and later traded to Al-Qaida.

A tour operator says four tourists, two Swiss, a German woman and a British man, were taken hostage by unidentified gunmen on January 22nd in Mali.

Canada’s Foreign Affairs department says it’s aware of the latest report, but has no further comment.

-------See you tomorrow. :-)

Lord of War Caught Due to Help from Romania

Viktor Bout, the world’s greatest arms dealer, was caught in Thailand, due to help from Romanian authorities. Bout’s life and activity attracted film producers and he turned into a hero for the “Lord of War”, with Nicholas Cage playing the leading part.

The Romanian customs police had a decisive contribution to the this event. Viktor Bout was being searched by the Interpol because of breaking UN embargos on gun trade in several states. He was arrested last Thursday in Bangkok. According to the US prosecution, both Bout and Andrew Smulian, an accomplice of the Russian criminal, who has recently activated on Romanian territory too, were charged last Thursday by the New York Justice. But authorities in Thailand haven’t decided yet whether to sue him in the country or extradite him to the US or Russia....
http://www.ocnus.net/artman2/publish/Dark_Side_4/Lord_of_War_Caught_Due_to_Help_from_Romania.shtml

Viktor Bout only became a high priority for international authorities when his African arms dealings became very prominent. His criminal profile in the public eye reached a high-water mark with the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Bout supplied weapons to the Taliban, which has close ties to al-Qaeda. This placed Bout on a top-priority list for U.S. officials.
