From ACT! for America: "Political correctness, terrorist infiltration"

Subject: Political correctness, terrorist infiltration Date: Friday, December 10, 2010, 10:05 AM Visit our News page Political Correctness and Terrorist Infiltration Dear Lee, The review below in Pajamas Media hits the nail on the head when examining the differences between how our government deals with known terror organizations and individuals or small groups. The bottom line? We're very vulnerable due to politically-correct driven refusal to identify how Islamic supremacist, jihadist ideology is driving terrorism. Thank you to everyone who called and emailed Lane Community College yesterday! We are estimating that between 1,500 and 2,000 calls and emails were delivered. We don't have any indication that the college is going to change its mind regarding canceling the class, but at least the college knows people across America are watching. Political Correctness Kills: Study Shows How Terrorists Infiltrate U.S. Government Barry Rubin reviewed, "Top 10 Failures of the US Government on the Domestic Islamist Threat" in today's PJM: http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/political-correctness-kills-study-shows-how-terrorists-infiltrate-u-s-government/ The actual paper is here: http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/p18576.xml A review of PJM contributor Patrick Poole's hair-raising 10 Failures of the U.S. Government on the Domestic Islamist Threat. December 5, 2010 - by Barry Rubin There is a very important — one might even say life-and-death — distinction that should be made in considering U.S. counterterrorism policy. Certainly, U.S. forces have had many successes in stopping intended terrorist attacks against the United States. Yet there have also been a number of failures. How to distinguish what made the difference? The successes in the post-September 11 era have come when the techniques of police and military work or intelligence-gathering were used against full-time terrorists. Indeed, an observer could sum up the handling of terrorism in the United States in the almost-decade since September 11 by saying there have been no major attacks, and the policy has been successful. When it comes to organizations planning attacks, this approach works very well. But when the threat involves individuals or small groups being radicalized and perhaps joining or supporting terrorist groups, the record is much worse. The weakness is in analysis, profiling, decision-making, and understanding the nature of the enemy ideology. As a result, there have been a number of smaller attacks, including some not counted at all by a government that wants to keep its batting average high, and some near-misses that were averted due more to luck than to skill. In addition, a huge amount of money has been wasted and effort misdirected, as many are coming to see regarding the current methods of airport security. In understanding these vital issues one can read no better work than Patrick Poole's 10 Failures of the U.S. Government on the Domestic Islamist Threat. (Patrick Poole is a frequent PJM contributor.) He provides ten case studies, each of which is hair-raising, and none of which, arguably, has led to major corrective action. At the root of each one is a failure or refusal to comprehend revolutionary Islamism or the bureaucratic fear of taking on the enemy. Moreover, some cases show how the other side has even gained political influence in America. Consider Abdulrahman Alamoudi, the Muslim leader who most frequently visited the Clinton White House. Poole rightly describes Alamoudi as: The most prominent Islamic activist leader in America at the time, he had infiltrated the highest levels of political power. … [He was asked] by the Defense Department to establish the military's Muslim chaplain corps, and appointed by the State Department to serve as a civilian ambassador, taking six taxpayer-funded trips to the Middle East. … Just days after the 9/11 attacks, he appeared with President Bush and other Muslim leaders at a press conference at the Islamic Center of Washington, D.C. despite his public comments a year earlier at a rally just steps from the White House identifying himself as a supporter of the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist organizations. In July 2005 the Treasury Department revealed that Alamoudi had been one of al-Qaeda's top fundraisers …. Go back and reread the last two paragraphs. Shouldn't this experience have created great skepticism about proclaiming Muslim leaders to be moderate without critically examining their record? Instead, the opposite has happened. Then there was Ali Mohamed, a man who trained American soldiers on Arab culture and infiltrated the U.S. Army's training program for intelligence officers in the Middle East. Simultaneously, he was teaching Islamist militants in the United States — including the cell that carried out the 1993 World Trade Center bombing — how to shoot and blow things up. Later, he became al-Qaeda's chief military expert. How might the Army have known to distrust this man? Well, he had been expelled from the Egyptian army because of his terrorist sympathies, and Egypt warned the United States about him. We've heard a lot lately about al-Qaeda's new star, Anwar al-Awlaki, who has been behind many of the recent terrorist attacks on America. But did you know, as Poole writes: Despite being subject to a FBI investigation initiated in 1999, and having been interviewed by the FBI at least four times after 9/11 for his contacts with two of the hijackers, Al-Awlaki was leading prayers for congressional Muslim staffers inside the U.S. Capitol. … Al-Awlaki was also feted at a luncheon inside the still-smoldering Pentagon following the 9/11 attacks … Poole also writes of: … Anwar Hajjaj, a local Islamic cleric who still leads prayers for the Congressional Muslim Staff Association. Hajjaj headed the Taibah International Aid Association, which was designated a global terrorist organization by the Treasury Department in May 2004. And about lobbyist Faisal Gill, appointed to a senior post in the Department of Homeland Security: … a former aide to al-Qaeda fundraiser Abdurahman Alamoudi … [Gill] had omitted his previous employment as director of government relations for Alamoudi's American Muslim Council on the Standard Form 86 required for Gill's security clearance. Gill had been at the forefront of AMC's political efforts to end the use of secret evidence in terrorism deportation proceedings. In his position in the Homeland Security Intelligence division, he had access to a wide range of top-secret information, including vulnerabilities of national critical infrastructure. Gill was investigated and cleared at the time, despite the fact that he had lied. Hesham Islam has been an especially powerful figure: the senior advisor for international affairs for Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England and the Pentagon's point-man for Muslim outreach. When one officer wrote a good study of revolutionary Islamist ideology, Islam campaigned to get him fired. Other officials told me that Islam tried to push them out also. Islam's autobiography on a Defense Department site contained clear contradictions and omissions, while his own academic work was rather shockingly radical. His father had worked for Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, while Islam claimed that he had survived a ship sinking that apparently never happened. This study doesn't include many other cases, most notably that of Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood terrorist, where the Army's negligence was responsible for the tragedy. At the time, I called Hasan the first terrorist to give an academic lecture with Power Point — to an Army audience — explaining his intention to commit a terrorist attack. Since then, things haven't improved, including the Army's report that didn't even dare to talk about jihad. Let's be clear. There should be no witch-hunt of Muslims. This is about applying the same kind of scrutiny to Muslims that anyone else gets. The truth: bureaucrats are afraid to follow clear leads and point out obvious problems, lest their careers be injured by accusations of Islamophobia. During the 1930s, it was regarded as impolite to look into whether there were Soviet agents in the U.S. government. Despite the lies and exaggerations of certain people later, there was a very serious Communist infiltration that damaged U.S. interests. There is clearly a parallel effort — no matter how uncoordinated and individual in nature — today. Read Poole's study, and then demand better media coverage and government response to this problem.

My late cat Sunny. Smartest cat I ever knew. She basically ran the horse barn. RIP Sunny.

Page B1 had an overview of the memorial events, but it took second-tier next to a story about the buoys at Ala Moana Beach Park.  Shameful!  Did you know there are only about 2,000 Pearl Harbor survivors left?  "This may be the last national convention of the Pearl Harbor Survivors because of age. The youngest person is 86 years old. Our numbers are depleting rapidly," said Edward H. Smith, a 93-year-old Middletown PA resident, who departed for Hawaii Friday.  It's a disgrace that this day is not remembered with MORE fanfare – not less – with each passing year.  Soon, all those brave people who lost their lives on December 7, 1941 will be gone.  Soon, all those who responded to the call of duty after the attacks will be gone.  Yet America will continue to worry about Christmas shopping, newly elected Governors and beach improvements.  We should be so lucky.  American Thinker Blog:  Remember Pearl Harbor (with Video) Krauthammer on Holder &  Assange: "At a [recent] news conference, Attorney General Eric Holder assured the nation that his people are diligently looking into possible legal action against WikiLeaks. Where has Holder been? The WikiLeaks exposure of Afghan War documents occurred five months ago. Holder is looking now at possible indictments? This is a country where a good prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich. Months after the first leak, Justice's thousands of lawyers have yet to prepare charges against Julian Assange and his confederates? … Where is the Justice Department? And where are the intelligence agencies on which we lavish $80 billion a year? Assange has gone missing. Well, he's no cave-dwelling jihadi ascetic. Find him. Start with every five-star hotel in England and work your way down. Want to prevent this from happening again? Let the world see a man who can't sleep in the same bed on consecutive nights, who fears the long arm of American justice. I'm not advocating that we bring out of retirement the KGB proxy who, on a London street, killed a Bulgarian dissident with a poisoned umbrella tip. But it would be nice if people like Assange were made to worry every time they go out in the rain." –columnist Charles Krauthammer  UPDATE:  Assange Surrenders in Britain (And Holder had nothing to do with it.)

Here's what we're asking you to do.   Call the Lane Community College main switchboard, 541-463-3000. THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SENDING AN EMAIL. Why? Because we want to barrage the college with hundreds, even thousands of phone calls, today and tomorrow. This way the college will KNOW without a doubt that there are many Americans who object to the college's actions. When you call, ask to speak to Mary Spilde, college president, or the college's public relations employee. In a firm but respectful tone, tell the person you speak to (or leave a voice mail) that you are outraged by the college's decision to cave in to the demands of an organization like CAIR and suppress free speech on its campus, and that you are asking the college to reconsider and reinstate the class and Barry Sommer as instructor. If you're unable to get through when you call, that's a good thing! That means many others are calling. Please try again later, or tomorrow. If you can't get through on the phone, or just can't call for some reason, please send an email to Ms. Spilde expressing your outrage and asking that the class be reinstated—again, in a firm but respectful tone. Her email address is spildem@lanecc.edu. But remember—calling is better than emailing. We're sure Lane Community College receives federal dollars, so everyone of us who pays taxes, no matter where we live, are helping to support the college. Thus, we have a right to make our voice heard! What's more, we need to send a message to other colleges across the country that Americans are not just going to sit back and watch while CAIR assaults the first amendment in its goal to impose sharia law on America! Please place your phone call today or tomorrow! And please forward this email to others you know so that they can do the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make sure you receive all of your messages from ACT for America.

ACT! for America Action Alert (Facebook edition): "ACTION ALERT—Stop START!"

From ACT! for America: "HELP! "Will you read this note, take action by contacting your senator and then tell your friends? ... "(http://www.facebook.com/notes/act-for-america/action-alertstop-start/172807862742058)"See More ACTION ALERT—Stop START! Our Missile Defense will be compromised if this treaty passes   We MUST continue to build a robust missile defense system to protect ourselves from countries like Iran and terrorist organizations that are working to acquire the technology to launch missiles with nuclear weapons from cargo ships.... By:ACT! for America 15 minutes ago   ACTION ALERT—Stop START! by ACT! for America on Tuesday, December 7, 2010 at 1:47pm Our Missile Defense will be compromised if this treaty passes   We MUST continue to build a robust missile defense system to protect ourselves from countries like Iran and terrorist organizations that are working to acquire the technology to launch missiles with nuclear weapons from cargo ships. To allow a treaty with Russia to limit this right of self-defense is unacceptable. We have watched the progression of the New START nuclear missile treaty with great interest, assuming that it would get a full and open hearing in the next session of Congress. Unfortunately, the Obama administration is now trying to rush through, during the present lame duck session of Congress, what we consider a seriously flawed treaty that will endanger our national security. The proposed New START will limit our future ability and right to build missile defense systems. This goes beyond any concerns regarding Russia.   Please click here (http://www.actforamerica.org/index.php/contact-congress) to send an urgent email to your two U.S. Senators today urging them to oppose ratification during this lame duck session. Once there, scroll down to the Action Alerts and click on "Opposition To The New START." Please enter in your contact information and then click send.   If you wish to call your U.S. Senators instead, please click here (http://www.actforamerica.org/index.php/contact-congress). Then scroll down below the Action Alerts section and click on "Elected Officials." Please enter in your zip code and click search. This will bring up the contact information you need to make your call today!  A treaty like this has NEVER been rushed through a lame duck Congress—and for good reason. Something this important to national security should not be rushed through or crammed down the throats of the American people.   Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has stated that limitations on missile defense are "clearly spelled out in the treaty" and "legally binding." Here's why:   The preamble of the treaty gives the Russians a basis to claim a de facto veto of our missile defense options   There are explicit limits for using land- and sea-based offensive missile tubes for defensive missiles.  Earlier this year our grassroots efforts helped restore full missile defense funding in the House Armed Services Committee. Please help us continue to protect our present and future missile defense system. ACT today by either calling or sending an email to your U.S. Senators opposing ratification of the New START treaty during this lame duck session of Congress! Time is of the essence! It is especially important that the following Senators hear from their constituents:   John McCain (R – AZ) Bob Corker (R – TN) Jim Webb (D – VA) Olympia Snowe (R- ME) Susan Collins (R – ME) Lindsay Graham (R – SC) Ben Nelson (D – NE) George Voinovich (R – OH) Scott Brown (R – MA) Thank you for your support. We need you now more than ever!
