“then we might as well blow these make believe boats out of the water the next time.”
Opinion..I think they should have done that then.
Fox released the audio of the Navy Ship and the Iranian
vessel.
I will post a link when I find it. But the Iranian vessel
said that the Navy Ship would blow up in two minutes.

OPINION: She’s just as bad as any of the honor killers.
I have no sympathy for her and hope she’s arrested soon.
On a lighter note, it was different than the Quran-in-the-toilet articles.
A brilliant idea, Godzilla.
That’s very serious.
Thank you for posting this dryman’s wife.
I’ve always wondered what could happen with passenger useage of the internet while flying (including the personal laptops).
Makes one wonder if those same things can happen on trains, subways, cruise ships.
Probably.
Thank you all4one.
I’ll post this around.
The wings of an El Cajon flight school are clipped for now, as it goes under the microscope of a federal agency. Immigrantion and Customs Enforcement agents are investigating Anglo-American Flight School.
It may have been sloppy recordkeeping which caused ICE agents to swarm the offices of Anglo-American Flight School at Gillespie Field in El Cajon. Dozens of agents plowed through paperwork in what ICE officials would only call a criminal investigation. "It's focusing on technical violations of immigration rules that allow schools such as these to provide documents to foreigners for permission to come to the United States as students. If there was some sort of technical violation, obviously we want to deal with it, we will correct it," Anglo-American Flight School attorney Jeremy Warren said.
Sources tell News 8 that agents specifically seized flight and repair logs. Investigators are also apparently looking closely at I-20 forms, which foreign students fill out regarding their schooling plans, including tuition and residency costs.

Pakistan braces for second wave of violence
Wed Jan 9, 2008
ISLAMABAD - Plagued by mounting attacks by Islamist militants loyal to al Qaeda, Pakistan now faces a second wave of violence as its minority Shi'ite Muslims prepare for their annual mourning period.
The 40-day Shi'ite mourning period, expected to begin on Thursday, has become a lightning rod for sectarian violence and comes as the country is still reeling from the assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto in a gun and bomb attack.
The Interior Ministry said 35 districts in the country had been declared "sensitive" and all security agencies had been put on high alert to avert sectarian violence during the mourning period, known as Moharram.

“Al Qaeda suicide cell leader captured in Pakistan”
By BILL ROGGIO
January 9, 2008 1:29 PM
Imperia - The Italian interior ministry issued expulsion orders for an imam of a mosque in Turin in northern Italy on public order and security grounds, the online version of the Italian daily Corriere della Sera reported on Wednesday.
Mohamed Kohaila, 44, was accused last year of delivering fundamentalist sermons at Turin mosque in a television programme aired on Italian state-run RAI television.
During the programme, broadcast on 29 March 2006, hidden cameras were used to film Kohaila as he called on Muslims not to integrate with Christians and Jews in Italy, according Corriere della Sera. The video also showed photocopies of a newspaper said to be close to al-Qaeda. The TV programme led to an investigation into Kohaila's activities by the authorities in Turin. The explusion orders issued on Wednesday now have to be validated by local judges.
Reacting to the explusion order, the Italian Muslim website, Islam-online.it said that that they were "amazed" by the details of this case. The website also said it was worried about the "consequences for the lives of Mohamed Kuhaila and his family". "Kuhaila and the association in which he is the imam have been the subject of a provocation," said Hamza Piccardo, the leader of the main Italian Muslim group, the Union of Islamic Communities in Italy (UCOII).
"In a video that was filmed using hidden cameras, documents praising Jihad were 'found' in the mosque on Via Cottolengo and then it was reported and 'translated' that in the imam's sermon he preached of a war against unbelievers," he said.

Insurgents threaten Norway
09 Jan 2008
A coalition that's described as one of Iraq's most powerful insurgent groups is threatening retaliation against Norway if Mullah Krekar is sent back to Iraq.
Krekar is under an expulsion order after being determined a threat to Norway's national security. He initially came to Norway in the early 1990s as a refugee, but later emerged as the head of guerrilla group Ansar al-Islam and he repeatedly violated the terms of his asylum by traveling back to northern Iraq to lead guerrilla activities. He hasn't been expelled yet, however, because he faces the death threat in Iraq. Norway won't extradite anyone, even criminals, if they risk being executed back home.
The Supreme Court recently cleared the way for his expulsion when the situation in Krekar's homeland stabilizes. The insurgent group "Front for reform and holy war" is demanding that Krekar be allowed to stay in Norway, regardless. It sent a warning to the offices of French news service AFP in Baghdad late Wednesday afternoon, demanding that Krekar remain in Norway.
“...agents specifically seized flight and repair logs.”
That’s interesting.
Thank you Oorang.
Thanks for the Mullah Krekar update in post no. 391, Oorang.

“Girl found dead in river ‘had feared a forced marriage’”
The Guardian ^ | Jan 9 07 | Helen Carter
Posted on 01/08/2008 9:43:04 PM PST by camerakid400
The parents of a 17-year-old girl whose badly decomposed body was found in a river may have been trying to force her into marriage against her will, an inquest heard yesterday.
Shafilea Ahmed disappeared from her home in Warrington, Cheshire, four months after a family trip to Pakistan, on which she was introduced to a potential suitor. During the holiday she drank bleach and self-harmed in an apparent cry for help. The inquest was also told of reports that she had been subjected to domestic abuse at home. Police launched a murder inquiry after her body was found concealed in undergrowth in February 2004, after the river Kent in Sedgwick, Cumbria, was swollen by floods.
Shafilea’s father, Iftikhar Ahmed, 48, and his wife Farzana, 45, vehemently deny any involvement in their daughter’s disappearance or death and claim they were victims of racial stereotyping. Detective Superintendent Geraint Jones, who led the murder inquiry, told the inquest in Kendal that her parents had been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping in December 2003, but were released without charge. Suspicions had been aroused by statements from people who knew Shafilea claiming that she was “subject to domestic abuse and potential for forced marriage”. He said there was reason to “suspect her family of involvement in her disappearance”.

“Thousands Protest Against ‘Vampire’ Bush”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “(ANSAmed) - GAZA, JANUARY 9 - Burning American flags, thousands of Palestinian protesters took to the Gaza streets this afternoon to protest against the visit of U.S. President George W. Bush. The protesters, amassed by Hamas, brandished banners which defined Bush “assassin and vampire”. During the rally puppets of the American president were raised and then burned. Israeli flags were also burned.”
His head is obviously already not screwed on right (being the jihadi he is).
French probe e-mail threatening Paris
French prosecutors are investigating a cryptic e-mail sent to an Islamic Web site urging attacks on the capital's mayor and its tourist sites, judicial officials said Wednesday.
The e-mail's sender and the site were not identified by the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. They said only that the message went to an Internet site run by Salafists, or Islamic fundamentalists.
Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe said on RTL radio that authorities informed him of the threat Saturday.
"I am calm. I have the information I need and I have complete confidence in the work ... of police headquarters vis-a-vis security problems in general, terrorism in particular and finally the protection of the mayor of Paris," Delanoe said later on the TV station iTele.
Snippets:
Readers of ThreatsWatch and related sites are probably not strangers to the controversy surrounding the firing of Stephen Coughlin, late an Islamic law scholar on the Joint Staff. Reportedly he was sacked for his “extreme” opinions on radical Islam, which included such radical ideas as not affiliating with Islamic groups with known, or suspected, ties to terrorist organizations.
Absent a substantial cadre of scholars of Islam’s cultural, theological and legal systems advising our defense and intelligence organizations, we cannot hope to win this war of ideas. Rather than abating the spread of hateful ideologies that ferment future generations of would-be jihadists, we will allow myths to perpetrate and falsehoods to go unchallenged. Our best-but-ill-informed intentions will become time and money sinks. Worse: our inability to successfully prosecute this aspect of the war guarantees that the balance of the conflict will have to contain a primarily kinetic component, when we should be striving to take our citizens out of harms way.

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Unless the United States drastically changes its foreign policy toward the Muslim world – and supports democratic efforts at every turn – Islamic radicalism will continue to thrive, according to a new book from a Michigan State University professor.
