| American National Security | | 2008-06-20 12:39:00 | | America has the most capable, best-trained and best-led military force in the world. But much needs to be done to maintain our military leadership. John McCain is committed to ensuring that the men and women of our military remain the best, most capable fighting force on Earth - and that our nation honors its promises to them for their service. As President, John McCain will strengthen the military, shore up our alliances, and ensure that the nation is capable of protecting the homeland, deterring potential military challenges, responding to any crisis that endangers American security, and prevailing in any conflict we are forced to fight. Fighting Against Violent Islamic Extremists and Terrorist Tactics The attacks on September 11th represented more than a failure of intelligence. The tragedy highlighted a failure of national policy to respond to the development of a global terror network hostile to the American people and our values.

| Global Warming is Now Being Called a Threat to National Security | | 2008-03-09 17:27:08 | | This is perhaps the most fear-mongering, ludicrous article I have ever read about global warming. I know it is hard to believe with all of the stupid articles out there that blame plastic bags, light-bulbs, earthworms, and Halloween. Global warming has been linked to cats breeding too quickly. Hell, Cate Blanchett is going to drink her own [...] | | By: Wake Up America | | |
| | Immigration and National Security - Back To The Future | | 2008-02-12 15:35:12 | | Two stories have just surfaced in the media that once again demonstrate the direct linkage of immigration issues and national security. First, we learn the FBI and DHS are concerned about the possibility of Americans or Europeans trained by al-Qaeda in terror camps in the badlands of Pakistan making their way into the United States to conduct attacks against our homeland. US citizens would be able to enter the US on their US passports. European citizens would be able to enter under the Visa Waiver...(read more) | | By: An American Warning | | |
| | Kyrgyzstan National Security Service keeps silence on details about seized radioactive material bound for Iran | | 2008-01-17 06:14:00 | | The Kyrgyz National Security Service continues to decline comment on taking possession of a small load of a radioactive substance discovered aboard a train bound for Iran, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reports.RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service notes that it took the security services nine days to announce the discovery of the material, which was found already on December 31 when radiation detectors alerted Uzbek border guards who reportedly promptly sent the train back to Kyrgyzstan.Kubanych Noruzbaev, an official from the Kyrgyz Ecology and Environmental Protection Ministry, said the material was cesium-137, a product of nuclear reactors and weapons testing that could also be used in a crude radioactive explosive device or a "dirty bomb", radio marks. Kubat Osmonbetov, a geologist, told RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service that there was a uranium-processing plant in northern Tajikistan, raising the possibility that the Tajik train in question might have been used in the past to transport radioactive material. Osmonbetov also noted that cesium-137 and cesium-140 are definitely lethal in large doses. He said the radioactive material should have been discovered long before the train arrived in Uzbekistan. | | By: THE NEW BABYLON TIMES | | |

| Reflections Concerning National Security | | 2007-12-28 13:47:57 | | The assassination of Benazir Bhutto once again demonstrates how fragile life is. It also reinforces how vulnerable democratic and open societies and those seeking free societies are to devastating terrorist attacks. This underscores the importance of national security. The intelligence and law enforcement community, most notably the CIA and FBI, should be afforded the best mechanisms to collect, assess and act upon intelligence information. Agency leaders along with Director of National Security...(read more) | | By: An American Warning | | |

| | Immigration Fraud and National Security Threats - Deja Vu All Over Again | | 2007-09-25 23:01:52 | | On September 24, the Cybercast News Service ran a story about a GAO report issued September 21 reflecting that our Diversity Visa program was at notable risk of fraud abuse and that risk was particularly vulnerable to misuse by foreign terrorist operatives seeking to enter and remain in the United States, utilizing the program to gain “legal” immigration status and cover. The Diversity Visa program was initially established to facilitate immigration from countries with otherwise low levels of immigrant...(read more) | | By: An American Warning | | |
| | National Security Letters | | 2007-03-09 11:18:00 | | Ignore Congress... Ignore the Rule Of Law
ƒcGlenn Greenwald notes that the Silent Patriot at Crooks & Liars points to the fact that the possible lawbreaking by the FBI concerning NSL's is rooted in the Signing Statements Bush penned when the Patriot Act was renewed in 2006. So much for accountability from this criminal administration. Will the Dems have the guts to force the issue...? Story Developing...
Glenn Greenwald
The FBI's lawbreaking is tied directly to President Bush
Multiple media outlets are focusing on the unsurprising story that the FBI seems to have been abusing its powers under the Patriot Act to issue so-called "national security letters" (NSLs), whereby the FBI is empowered to obtain a whole array of privacy-infringing records without any sort of judicial oversight or subpoena process. In particular, the FBI has failed to comply with the legal obligations imposed by Congress, when it re-authorized the Patriot Act in early 2006, which required the FBI to report to Congress on the use of these letters.
That the FBI is abusing its NSL power is entirely unsurprising (more on that below), but the real story here -- and it is quite significant -- has not even been mentioned by any of these news reports. The only person (that I've seen) to have noted the most significant aspect of these revelations is Silent Patriot at Crooks & Liars, who very astutely recalls that the NSL reporting requirements imposed by Congress were precisely the provisions which President Bush expressly proclaimed he could ignore when he issued a "signing statement" as part of the enactment of the Patriot Act's renewal into law. Put another way, the law which the FBI has now been found to be violating is the very law which George Bush publicly declared he has the power to ignore.
