The fish that threatened national security. Lara Hayhurst, a student at Pace University, needed to take one small thing through the checkpoint at LaGuardia Airport: her pet beta fish MJ. This was, however, an apparent threat to the security of the airport and Lara's flight home to Pittsburgh for winter break. Flush the fish or become a felon? Read about Lara's decision and how the TSA forced her hand. Remember, when 2" long tropical fish can freely gain access to our airliners, the terrorists have... yada yada.

What does a European call Osama
bin-Laden? ... "Sir"

What does a European call Osama
bin-Laden? ... "Sir" 04/09/2004 04:11 PM

Spain has been in the news lately, both for her Muslim guests who bombed the trains of Madrid (killing more than 200 people) and her citizens who voted for a new pro-appeasement government.  U.S. media are expressing shock that the instinctive reaction of Christian Europeans was to cave in to the demands of a violent minority.  Sitting here in a country where any attack is met by voters rallying around the government and pressing for a strong counterattack the European propensity toward appeasement seems odd.

But is there anything truly new here?  Even the mere threat of Islamic terrorism has for several decades been very effective at steering European nations' foreign policy. Going back further consider the Germans in the 1930s and early 1940s.  A small minority of people living in Europe had an ideology and the will to use violence to back up that ideology.  Without a whole lot of effort or actual force they were able to conquer nearly every other European nation and convince those Europeans to accept major elements of their ideology.  European democracies appear strong but apparently are easy to control by anyone who threatens to disrupt the bourgeois comforts of the populace.  Nor do Europeans have the internal strength to dislodge violent minorities who've gained control of their societies.  In the 1940s it was the leveling of German cities by the British and American air forces and Soviet artillery that convinced Europeans of the impracticality of Naziism.

It would be tempting to attribute the cravenness of the average European to the climate or their proximity to Muslim countries.  Yet the English have been stubbornly resistant to both the Nazis and various Islamic threats despite being geographically proximate to Europe and hosting a large Muslim minority within their borders.

Even if we can be sure of the answer to what the average European would call Osama bin-Laden ("Sir") we'll probably never figure out any way to stiffen the backbone of the average Christian European.  The political scientist quoted in this blog on August 28, 2003 was perhaps correct in his prediction that France and other European nations would become Muslim dictatorships within the next generation's lifetimes, partly through demographics and birthrate but mostly because the non-Muslim majority lacked the will to oppose a unified minority.

Continuing to help Osama bin Laden with

prisoner at a time

Continuing to help Osama bin Laden with
his recruiting drive, one tortured Iraqi
prisoner at a time 04/30/2004 12:37 AM
Via 60 Minutes, the Memory Hole has these extremely graphic pictures of American soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners. What a command failure -- General Abizaid, the Central Command commander, should be relieved on the spot, as should every commander in the chain of command between the him and the general in charge of the jail. A description of the pictures, from CBS 60 Minutes: 60 Minutes II has a dozen of these pictures, and there are many more – pictures that show Americans, men and women in military uniforms, posing with naked Iraqi prisoners. There are shots of the prisoners stacked in a pyramid, one with a slur written on his skin in English. In some, the male prisoners are positioned to simulate sex with each other. And in most of the pictures, the Americans are laughing, posing, pointing, or giving the camera a thumbs-up .... But the Army investigation found serious problems behind the scenes. The Army has photographs that show a detainee with wires attached to his genitals. Another shows a dog attacking an Iraqi prisoner. Frederick said that dogs were “used for intimidation factors.” Part of the Army's own investigation is a statement from an Iraqi detainee who charges a translator - hired to work at the prison - with raping a male juvenile prisoner: "They covered all the doors with sheets. I heard the screaming. ...and the female soldier was taking pictures." There is also a picture of an Iraqi man who appears to be dead -- and badly beaten. What is this war doing to American soldiers? What are we doing to Iraqis? What will the Arab and Islamic reaction for these foul and barbaric acts be when Aljazeera broadcasts the pictures through the Arab speaking world? We are behaving in Iraq exactly as Osama bin Laden would want us to act. How many more jihadists did we create today?...
