(U.S.) Continuing Reports on Abdulmutallab Foiled Terror Plot
http://www.unitedstatesaction.com/abdulmutallab.html

January 10, 2010 Abdulmutallab Reports

— London Times: “Human rights gagged MI5 over Abdulmutallab - Intelligence on Muslim radicals cannot be passed to the US because of privacy fears”
-— London Times: “MI5 failed to alert America to intelligence highlighting the extremist links of the Detroit plane bomber because of concerns about breaching his human rights and privacy.”
-— “MI5 has privately conceded that as early as 2006 its surveillance operations had picked up ‘multiple communications’ between the 23-year-old Nigerian student and suspected terrorists in Britain.”
-— “Asked why that information had not been passed to the US, a Home Office official with detailed knowledge of the case said the security service did not pass information to its allies about the thousands of Britons who were merely suspected of having radical Islamic views.”
-— “An investigation by The Sunday Times has found that dozens of Britons have travelled to the impoverished Arab country and stayed at colleges linked by US authorities to Al-Qaeda. While many attend the institutions legitimately to study a hardline version of Islam, some end up supporting the jihad.”

Yemen: “Why it’s wrong to rule out nation-building in Yemen”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/09/AR2010010902011.html
-— Comment: Shouldn’t “nation-building” begin with consistent support for unqualified universal human rights among the nation’s leaders? Otherwise - what are we “building” exactly? This is problem with ALL of the OIC nations and their alternate universe code of human rights called the “Cairo Declaration of Human Rights” which only allows human rights based on Sharia. It is unacceptable for a nation that prizes our universal human rights of EQUALITY and LIBERTY for all - a truth that we hold self-evident, remember? Nation-building begins with insisting on support for UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS — FIRST.
-— What does it take for us to LEARN the lessons from our failures in Paksitan?
