Important Security Note regarding the US Military

There are support the military "forums" on the Internet
who are NOT USA based.
A word of caution when posting to foreign websites,
you never know who you are really posting to.
Check the domain registry and verify that the domain is in the USA
I made the mistake of posting on a non USA forum
and stopped once I found out the foreign origin of the website.

Failed bureaucracy An Agency Rife With Fraud Would Administer Guest-worker Program
New American ^ | 4-19-06 | Parousia


Posted on 04/20/2006 1:39:06 AM EDT by parousia


As President Bush and his allies in the Senate push forward for amnesty for the 11-12 million illegal aliens already in the United States and for a guest-worker program that would bring in millions more "temporary" workers, they are withholding an important report that indicts the agency that would be processing the massive influx of aliens we would expect under the proposed programs.

An investigation by the (GAO) has found that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS), the agency within the Department of Homeland Security in charge of adjudicating immigration benefits such as citizenship and permanent residency, is rife with fraud. The report has not been released, but a draft of the report obtained by the Washington Times says, "Adjudicators we spoke with said that management's focused attention on reducing the backlog placed additional pressure on them to process applications faster, thereby increasing the risk of making incorrect decisions, including approval of potentially fraudulent applications." The report says that fraud in some categories of visas is as high as 30 percent.

Sen.Grassley (R-Iowa), who has seen the report, told his colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 2: "Let's be realistic. Our government bureaucrats simply cannot implement a program for 11 million illegal aliens. You'd all be shocked if you learned about the internal fraud and abuse at the Citizenship and Immigration Service. I have been investigating the internal problems at CIS as well as their backlog of national security cases. The bureau doesn't have an effective practice for reviewing these cases. Officials are being bribed. Visas are being given away. Green cards are being sold. CIS is giving out interim benefits, which is a precursor for additional privileges.... And we want this agency to handle the program in an effective manner? That's unrealistic."

"Palestinian Authority prescribes the death penalty for eating falafel."
Reason ^ | April 19, 2006 | Jacob Sullum

Posted on 04/19/2006 11:40:30 PM PDT by neverdem

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The day after I visited my niece in Tel Aviv, a young man named Sami Hamad blew himself up at a restaurant there. I had no particular reason to think my niece was anywhere near Mayor's Falafel at 1:30 p.m., but I called her anyway, just to make sure. She was on her way to a concert in Jerusalem.


Others calls that day resulted not in reassurance but in concern escalating to panic and culminating in grief. Hamad, who was from the West Bank village of al-Gharakah, killed nine people who were working in the restaurant, waiting in line for falafel or shwarma, or passing by when he detonated his bomb, including a 47-year-old security guard who stopped him at the entrance, a 29-year-old from Holon whose wife was about to give birth to their third child, and two foreign workers from Romania. The bomb injured about 70 people, including two children, a 60-year-old French tourist, and a 16-year-old American who was critically wounded."

"Chinese military linked to missile smuggling"
By Bill Gertz
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
April 20, 2006


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Chao Tung Wu, 51, of La Puente, Calif., pleaded guilty yesterday at U.S. District Court in Los Angeles to conspiracy to smuggle Chinese QW-2 anti-aircraft missiles into the United States. It was the first conviction under a 2004 anti-terrorism law aimed at preventing the spread of shoulder-fired and portable anti-aircraft missiles.

Wu and a second defendant who is awaiting trial, Yi Qing Chen, met an undercover FBI agent and sought to sell 200 QW-2s, as well as launcher and operational hardware for the missiles, according to court papers. A statement of facts read in court yesterday revealed that Wu had offered to provide enough missiles "for a regiment" of soldiers."

CBP Officers Find Three Migrants In Secret Compartment

(Wednesday, April 19, 2006)
contacts for this press release

Tecate, CA- U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Tecate border station arrested a man Tuesday morning after he allegedly attempted to smuggle three undocumented migrants into the U.S. inside a hidden compartment of the vehicle he was driving, officials announced.

The migrants were discovered in a specially constructed gas tank compartment in the rear of the 1989 Ford utility truck. Firefighters from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF) and the Campo Fire Department were summoned to assist with freeing the migrants from the compartment.

CBP officers encountered the driver, an 18-year old U.S. citizen from Tecate, Mexico, when he entered the port at about 7:45 a.m. yesterday. The primary officer conducting routine border security inspections referred the vehicle and lone driver to the secondary lot for an in-depth investigation.

In the secondary area, CBP officers utilized a non-intrusive inspection device employing gamma-ray technology to produce a high-resolution image of the conveyance’s contents. The scan produced anomalies consistent with that of images of people.

CBP officers immediately called CDF firefighters for assistance in extracting the three undocumented Mexican nationals hidden in the compartment. Two females, ages 23 and 36, and a 13 year old male juvenile from Mexico were apprehended without incident.

The driver was arrested on federal charges of alien smuggling and was transported to the Metropolitan Correctional Center to await arraignment. The undocumented migrants will be paroled into the U.S. as material witnesses for prosecution. The California-plated truck was seized by CBP.


“Apprehensions like this would not be possible if not for vigilant CBP officers on the frontline protecting our nation everyday,” said Tecate Port Director, Mitchell Merriam. “CBP fulfills its primary mission of anti-terrorism while carrying out traditional border-related responsibilities, such as stemming the tide of undocumented migrants and illicit drugs and protecting the food supply and agriculture industry from pests and diseases.”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control, and protection of our Nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.

IRAN: Women with skimpy clothing to be cracked down


TEHERAN: Iran’s police force outlined plans for a renewed onslaught against women who show off too much of their bodies in the streets of Teheran. Teheran’s police chief, Morteza Talai, said here on 18th April.

In their campaign, the police will confront women showing their bare legs in short pants.

The police is also going to combat women wearing skimpy headscarves, short and form-fitting coats. The police will crackdown those ones walking with pets in parks and streets.

Every post-pubescent female in Iran, regardless of her nationality or religion, is obliged to observe the Islamic dress code and cover her shape and hair whenever outside the home.
