"It's not a news story, it's recon"
Apply a little creativity to this problem. The porous border is no secret to our enemy. Who is anyone kidding to think otherwise?
However, if you grant Al Jazeera the interview and show them how porous the border in fact is on TV, don't you think that would cause some outrage and ultimately a political firestorm resulting in a positive reaction (tightening of border security) in the end?
I do. Use these guys toward a positive end, even if they are slime. As bizarre as it may seem to some, this idea is probably the fastest way to seal the border than any other I've seen, given the political realities.
If we were to get the right amount of exposure in the US to this event, you're right.
This report in WND is the first I've heard of this, and I've noticed that WND tends to repeat newsreports rather than go out and find the actual news.
How many Americans watch al jezeera tv.? The American people will never hear about this.
Let's see, al jezeera shows up at the most convenient moments. Just as someone is going to attack our troops or behead someone. I wonder what kind of convenient incident will happen just as they happen to be there?
