Slovak police send explosives to Ireland by mistake

Posted: 06 Jan 2010 09:23 AM PST

The world may be on high alert for airline attacks, but that didn't stop a consignment of plastic explosives being smuggled into Ireland, by accident. As part of a training exercise, Slovakian police hid explosives in unsuspecting travellers' luggage at the country's main airport. They found most of it, but a batch of explosives still managed to end up on a Dublin-bound Danube Wings plane, leading to a police raid and the temporary arrest of an unwitting smuggler.

Michelle MalkinMeet the Beltway bloodsuckers. They convene in the dead of night, when most ordinary mortals have left work and let their guard down or are lying asleep in bed.

Democratic leaders have been promising the most ethical, transparent, open and engaged administration for years. Instead, they have delivered a bleak and creepy legislative environment that could double as a "Twilight" movie set.

AIPAC's Role in Spying & U.S. Foreign Intervention

Posted: 06 Jan 2010 07:48 AM PST

Jewish American citizens Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman were both "Big Shots" in the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's (AIPAC) hierarchy. They had one other major common bond. Rosen and Weissman were spies. They spied for Israel. They spied on their own country, America. That is, presuming that America is their true country. I doubt it.

First we had Jonathan Pollard, who plea-bargained his "treason" charge down to a life sentence. If you recall, Israel defiantly denied any association with Pollard. Eventually, however, Israel finally admitted that Pollard was a spy. A spy for Israel.

When Does It Become Genocide?

Posted: 06 Jan 2010 07:48 AM PST

During a visit to Ramallah a year ago while the Israeli bombardment of Gaza was underway, I shared my fears with a close Palestinian friend. "It may sound insane, but I think the Israelis' real objective is to see them all dead."

My friend told me not to be silly, the assault was horrific, but it was not mass killing. I said that wasn't the issue: This was a population already very vulnerable to disease, ill-health, and malnutrition after years of siege, with its infrastructure rotted, its water and food contaminated. Israel's war would surely push the people over the brink, especially if the siege was maintained — as it has been.
