(IsraelNN.com) The Obama administration has cancelled airport security restrictions on 14 terror-related countries, including American Muslim allies such as Saudi Arabia. Instead, the United States is relying on "real-time” intelligence to prevent terrorist attacks in the air. American security officials several months ago clamped down on travelers from Cuba and 13 Muslim countries after Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab passed through security systems and tried to blow up a plane from Amsterdam to Detroit. Shortly afterwards, new regulations required travelers with passports from those 14 countries to undergo a thorough body search before boarding.

HEREFORD — Nearly three decades ago, a two-story barracks on Fort Huachuca was carefully dismantled. There was no tearing the structure down without regard for ensuring the pieces couldn’t be used again.

The old barracks, once part of what was called Splinter Village on the post, wooden structures constructed in the 1940s to house two black divisions that trained in Arizona during World War II, was put together on an acre of land...

The communist government hopes the Olympics will burnish the country's international image, and knows positive foreign reports will help. At the same time, it has clamped down on domestic media and Internet essayists in the fear that unfettered...

Apparently, the excrement has hit the fan, and Rove is in hot water with prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald’s two-year-old investigation was initiated to determine whether officials Bush’s administration violated a 1982 law designed to protect the identity of covert...
