Companies at US airports get approval to hire employees without complete background checks

The agency did not say how many airports have taken advantage of the change and given workers preliminary clearance, nor how long employees can work without full security clearance. The memo sent at Atlanta’s airport — the world’s busiest — did say that all employees must eventually be given full security clearance, and those who fail the check will immediately have their clearance revoked.

CIA Veteran Jose Rodriguez Defends Waterboarding in New Book

In a memoir being published Monday and obtained by The Daily Beast, the former CIA official Jose Rodriguez defends the waterboarding program and says he was right in 2005 to order the destruction of videotapes of the harsh interrogation sessions, in which suspected Al Qaeda terrorists were held down and subjected to a simulated drowning.

Can Obama Safely Embrace Islamists?

White House spokesman Tommy Vietor clarified that while the “war on terror” concept has been dropped, “we absolutely have never said our war against al Qaida is over. We are prosecuting that war at an unprecedented pace.”

French Counterterrorism Policy in the Wake of Mohammed Merah’s Attack

The first successful terrorist attack in 16 years in France is shaping up to be a watershed moment for French counterterrorism policy. The failure to prevent the attacks, the eight-day delay in identifying Merah as the assailant, and the police’s inability to capture him alive to stand trial after a 32-hour media frenzied stand-off prompted unusually vocal public and pointed criticisms of the French counterterrorism establishment. Such criticisms are uncommon in France because counterterrorism operations usually occur far from the public sphere and parliamentary oversight is limited.

Tawriya: Islamic Doctrine of ‘Creative Lying’

Though tawriya is technically not “new”—as shall be seen, it has been part of Islamic law and tradition for centuries—it is certainly new to most non-Muslims, hence the need for this exposition and the word “new” in the title.

Obama Funds Terrorists

On April 23^rd, Obama stopped by the Holocaust Memorial Museum where he mouthed the words, “Never Again” and two days later he issued a memorandum waiving restrictions on funding to the terrorists of the Palestinian Authority, which routinely calls for the murder of Jews, and for its president who has described the Holocaust as a “fantastic lie.”

It’s Time to Revise The Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam

From an international human rights perspective, the controversial nature of the Cairo Declaration lies in its claim of adherence to Shari’ah. Its preamble affirms that“fundamental rights and universal freedoms are an integral part of [Islam]” and these rights and freedoms are “binding divine commandments” revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the Quran.

So, how can Islam reconcile Sharia with any recognized standard of Human Rights? BR

Egypt’s women urge MPs not to pass early marriage, sex-after-death laws:

As Egypt continues into the so-called “Arab Spring” radical Islamists who overthrew the Western-friendly Mubarak government are ready to enforce Sharia law. In doing so their actions are bringing back to Egypt the the true barbarity of Muhammad’s Islam.

Sex with the very young and sex with the dead may soon become the norm in what was once a civilized Muslim nation. BR

Sri Lankan held for “witchcraft” in Saudi Arabia

“The punishment is always beheading for anyone found guilty of witchcraft,” a Saudi lawyer and human rights activist, Waleed Abu al-Khair, told Reuters by phone.

That’s right folks! “Modern” Saudi Arabia, one of the best friends that the US has in the Middle East has a witchcraft investigation branch of their government and the guilty are beheaded.

We need a sane energy policy so that we can stop making moral compromises with oil exporting Muslim nations. BR

Iran’s Meth Empire

Iranian drug rings are a sizable presence everywhere from Europe to Southeast Asia to the United States. By the spring of last year, Thai authorities had already arrested their twentieth Iranian meth smuggler. The same story repeats itself in Indonesia, Malaysia, Burma and Vietnam. Asia is no stranger to the drug trade, yet it’s being swamped by Iranian meth, Iranian meth labs and Iranian dealers.
