Ten years after the terror attacks, the city is safer, thanks to the NYPD—but the threat remains.On a clear summer day, Lieutenant Isa Abbassi and Officer Jamal Kilkenny are taking in the sights, NYPD-style. Their Agusta A119 helicopter, bearing the NYPD’s distinctive blue and white markings, soars 700 feet above the East River, its single engine purring at top speed. Heading north at 70 miles per hour, the chopper whirls by the Brooklyn and Williamsburg Bridges as Kilkenny points its L-3 Wescam multisensor camera at various tourist destinations: the South Street Seaport, the United Nations’ headquarters, the 59th Street Bridge....

The U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee is weighing fresh concerns about the sweeping nature of domestic spying using one controversial section of the Patriot Act. This particular part of that law is notable because it has been divisive for years — and because during those years President Obama has quietly moved from being a Senator skeptical of the provisions to being an enthusiastic spy chief whose Administration embraces them. Last Tuesday the committee met to consider the worries of some members, mostly Democrats, who say the Justice Department has drafted a breathtakingly broad interpretation of Section 215 of the Patriot Act....

Let the People Suffer by Ari Bussel Elected officials seem to be exempt from what we, commoners, have to endure. They have their own health plan, and will not subjugate themselves or their family members to what they force down our throats. They will not be patted down at airports, for they go via security points unchecked. But you and—more often than not—I have to endure long waits at the airports and unpleasant TSA officials who do not think – the extent of their training is to follow procedures. They are not allowed to profile, i.e. common sense is out....

Former Vice President Dick Cheney addressed his health and offered another defense of Bush administration "necessary" but "controversial" anti-terrorism policies Saturday...at the Bakersfield Business Conference where he was "interviewed" by his wife, Lynne.

SNIPPET: "Hard hit by budget cuts the NYPD has decided to fight spiking crime rates by reassigning anti-terror cops to street patrols in tough neighborhoods. But not everyone thinks shifting patrols is a good idea. Outside the Empire State Building, one of the top terror targets in the city, some New Yorkers were outraged by the shift and had some strong words for Mayor Michael Bloomberg. "He's cutting down? Hmm … why is that a bad thing?" said Francisco Santos of East New York. "Because we might get bombed again? Yeah, definitely consider it a bad thing."" SNIPPET: "The anti-terror...

New anti-terrorism rules 'allow US to spy on British motorists' By Toby Helm and Christopher Hope Last Updated: 3:06am BST 21/04/2008 Routine journeys carried out by millions of British motorists can be monitored by authorities in the United States and other enforcement agencies across the world under anti-terrorism rules introduced discreetly by Jacqui Smith. The discovery that images of cars captured on road-side cameras, and "personal data" derived from them, including number plates, can be sent overseas, has angered MPs and civil liberties groups concerned by the increasing use of "Big Brother" surveillance tactics. Images of private cars, as well...

WASHINGTON, July 11, 2007 – Coalition and Iraqi forces have killed or captured hundreds of al Qaeda members in Iraq over the past two months, including 26 of the terror network’s “high-value” leaders and a would-be bomber, a Multinational Force Iraq spokesman said. Speaking with reporters in Baghdad this morning and during a conference call with bloggers later today, Army Brig. Gen. Kevin Bergner said combined forces also have shut down an important terrorist information artery, and he described the cumulative results of these operations. Bergner said successes are occurring in spite of ongoing resistance from al Qaeda, proxy groups...

Marines To Conduct Gregory Canyon Exercise; Environmentalists Criticize Plan To Conduct Training At Old Dairy By: DAVE DOWNEY - Staff Writer Thursday, June 21, 2007 NORTH COUNTY (San Diego)-- An old dairy at the planned Gregory Canyon landfill will become an anti-terror training ground next month for 40 to 60 Marines from Camp Pendleton, a military official said Wednesday. Local environmentalists said they are worried the exercise could damage the fragile environment near the San Luis Rey River or ignite a wildfire in a tinder-dry area at one of the driest times of the year. Marine officials said care will...

Stephen Harper's beaux stratagems BRIAN LAGHI Toronto Globe and Mail Saturday, March 10, 2007 OTTAWA — About a month ago, Prime Minister Stephen Harper buttonholed Stéphane Dion in a backroom off the House of Commons. According to sources, he wanted to discuss the progress of legislation to reform the Senate — which sounds innocent enough. But four weeks later, Mr. Dion's allies are starting to wonder whether the Prime Minister had an ulterior motive: Would he somehow use the meeting against them in the future? “I have no doubt,” a senior Liberal said. “They're going to play silly buggers...

A TV commercial aimed at thwarting terrorism has hit Middle Eastern TV networks using high-tech effects to show the anatomy of a suicide bombing in graphic detail. [snip] The US$1 million (€800,000) ad is packed with special effects including the time-suspension technique made popular in the "Matrix" movies to show bodies, cars and broken glass flying in slow motion through the air.

The boy sees the bombs just before they go...

SACRAMENTO — State intelligence reports released Thursday by the Schwarzenegger administration include material suggesting that the governor's anti-terrorism operation was interested in the actions of the Minuteman volunteer border patrol group. The reports also include a cryptic reference to "suspicious conversations at a mosque" in San Diego. State officials released more than 80 intelligence reports prepared for the state Office of Homeland Security, in response to The Times' disclosure that two reports carried information about domestic political protests ranging from antiwar gatherings to protect-the-seals rallies. Large sections of the reports shown to reporters had been removed. The homeland security office...

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered special services to "find and destroy" the killers of four Russian diplomats taken hostage in Iraq. The head of Russia's security services immediately pledged to see Putin's order carried out.

WASHINGTON - Vice President Cheney raked the media yesterday for exposing a secret Bush administration project to look into financial transactions of Americans as part of the war on terror. "What I find most disturbing about these stories is the fact that some of the news media take it upon themselves to disclose vital national security programs, thereby making it more difficult for us to prevent future attacks against the American people," Cheney grumbled at a GOP fund-raiser in Illinois. "That offends me." The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal first broke the story, infuriating Cheney, who has...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. government gained sweeping access to international banking records as part of a secret program to choke off financial support for terrorism, officials said Thursday. Treasury Department officials said they used broad subpoenas to collect the financial records from an international system known as Swift. Stuart Levey, Treasury's undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, called the subpoenas "a legal and proper use of our authorities." "Since immediately following 9-11, the American government has taken every legal measure to prevent another attack on our country," Dana Perino, deputy White House press secretary, said Thursday evening. "One of...

TORONTO - Canada unveiled on Friday anti-terrorism measures aimed at bolstering security at the country's airports, railway systems and marine ports in the next few months. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the government also would spend more than $224 million to beef up the country's ability to detect potential terrorist attacks as part of the $1.3 billion approved in the federal budget for security. "This is how the fight against terrorism will be won ... plugging the holes, filling the gaps," Harper told a news conference at a Toronto airport cargo bay. " Some in Washington have criticized Canada's immigration...

..... Honor our fallen heroes ------------------------------- Posted: May 26, 2006 1:00 a.m. Eastern© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com Today, millions of families across America will begin packing their bags and getting ready for the Memorial Day weekend. I wonder how many people will take the time to actually pay tribute to the true intention of the holiday: to honor those who have given their lives for the cause of American freedom.

This is remarkable film footage. This is a night vision movie from Iraq, showing live action against Iraqi insurgents. The pictures were taken from an AC-130 Specter gunship two and a half miles from the target. The guys in the picture are setting up a roadside bomb and planning to ambush an American convoy which followed a short while after the pictures were taken. They were setting up the ambush and were pacing off the distance from the bomb to where the convoy was to pass by. Turn your sound up. The level of effort these Specter crews put forth...

The West Plains school superintendent confirmed Monday the Federal Bureau of Investigations served search warrants last week on a truck driving school. School officials say they were told the agents were looking into allegations of improper issuance of drivers licenses.

One of the agents identified himself as being with the anti terrorism unit of the F.B.I.

TORONTO: Like many Canadians, Ghazanfar Khan feels his country is far too much under US influence. The 24-year-old man of Pakistani origin, standing for next week's general election, wants to do something to change things. A debut candidate in the January 23 ballot, Khan has a definite agenda for Canada and feels that his country should carve out its own identity that is separate from its superpower neighbour to the south. Instead of jumping on the bandwagon of major parties like the Liberals or the Conservatives, Khan is with the Canadian Action Party, a little-known entity but one he believes...

SO it wasn't a political stunt. It isn't about Iraq. And the threat of Islamist terror right here is more real than many pretend. How real? If the police are right, they have saved scores of you from being blown up -- as people in Madrid and London were blown up. As NSW Police Commissioner Ken Moroney put it, the arrest yesterday of 17 Muslim men disrupted "the final stages of a large-scale terrorist attack". He said explosive material had already been collected. Yet only last week, Prime Minister John Howard was pilloried by many for having warned of an...

Antiterrorism law may expire; Congress debates Tue Dec 20, 2005 7:48 PM ET By Thomas Ferraro WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Republican leaders on Tuesday appeared ready to let key provisions of a U.S. antiterrorism law expire and blamed Democrats who have blocked a renewal in a bid for more civil-liberties safeguards. If these provisions of the USA Patriot Act expire on December 31, as scheduled, the Republican-led Senate could take another crack at renewing them as soon as Congress begins a new year in January, aides said. Democrats, who are using a procedural maneuver known as a filibuster to block...

Tom Tancredo WASHINGTON – It was a victory the once-obscure Colorado congressman savored yesterday. When the House of Representatives passed a tough new border control bill last night, Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo was all smiles.

Bali, already on edge following deadly suicide bombings just 10 days ago, was stepping up security Tuesday ahead of services to remember the 202 people killed in attacks three years ago on the resort island. Snipers will be deployed on building tops surrounding a memorial close to ground zero, a now-empty lot in the heart of the tourist district where Qaeda-linked terrorists blew up two packed nightclubs on Oct. 12, 2002. Thousands of soldiers, police and intelligence officers also will be stationed at nearby beaches, resorts and businesses. Despite the tensions, the police urged people to attend the commemorations Wednesday....

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (Army News Service, Aug. 24, 2005) - More than 21 local, state, federal and military agencies last week took part in “Orbit Comet,” the largest full-scale anti-terrorism exercise ever in North Carolina. The exercise began Aug. 15 with a scenario a few minutes before 8 a.m.: on a Fort Bragg range road, two MPs escorting two buses of VIPs were fatally injured when the convoy was hit by improvised explosive devices. Several congressmen were taken hostage and scurried to an unknown location. Others remained captive on one of the buses which became disabled by the assault. Developing...

In U.S. military anti-terrorism training currently under way, the American general kidnapped by Italy’s Red Brigades and held captive for six weeks is used as an example both of what to do and what not to do. He was an exemplary hostage, who “maintained his composure and survived…,” according to the anti-terrorism training materials. Yet Brig. Gen. James Dozier had been studied for a month by the leftist group before his kidnapping in December 1981. The terrorists considered kidnapping three other U.S. generals but “chose Dozier because his personal security was less rigorous,” the training materials say. Dozier, now 76,...

Today, on July 21, 2005, the Facts About Islam (FAI) website returned after being down for over six months. The FAI was originally founded under the name of "TE" (known as "AMS" by some) in November 2002 by Former ATC President Stalfos. During the rest of 2002 and the first few months of 2003, the TE received hundreds of visitors a day (and sometimes up to 2000 visitors a day). Since its very existence, the TE was faced with attacks and bannings. Yahoo Geocities, on which the TE was hosted on, had and still has a double standard when it...

The first Muslim anti-terror rally will be held this month in Washington D.C.! I heard this through the Michael Reagan Show tonight on KNUS 2. Although painfully late in world events, it was exciting news to hear. Unfortunately when I went to their web site http://www.freemuslim.org/sohof/theroots/index.htm my first reaction, again, was pessimism. The headline of their English translation is "Islam is the religion of peace, purity, acceptance and commitment." I know from ProphetofDoom.net that this is a false claim of Islam. Freemuslim.net is either very confused, or a false front for Islam. Renouncing terrorism means denying Islam's form of evangelism,...

CHICAGO, March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Anti-Terrorism and Aviation Protection Act," (H.B. 1098), passed out of the Illinois House of Representatives Human Services Committee today, a homeland security bill to prevent a terrorist from using a .50 caliber sniper rifle to shoot down a civilian airliner during landing or takeoff. Rep. Elaine Nekritz (D-57th) and Rep.

Prime Minister Tony Blair won Parliament's support Friday for a new anti-terrorism law allowing the government to impose strict controls on 10 terror suspects — including an Islamic preacher accused of inspiring lead Sept. 11 hijacker Mohamed Atta — who have been granted bail. The House of Lords approved new powers to order house arrest and impose curfews and electronic tagging without trial on terror suspects after the government made concessions to end a bitter parliamentary deadlock just three days before similar legislation expired. The new law means the 10 suspects will remain free on bail but are subject to...

Majority of funding focuses on top homeland security agenda priorities: transportation, border, and port security RESTON, Va., March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- New legislation introduced to Congress this year recommends over $11 billion in grant funding to be spent on technology-focused initiatives to prevent terrorist attacks and address key security vulnerabilities, according to a report released today by INPUT, the quantifiable leader in government market intelligence. Current top priorities in the homeland security agenda focus on increasing the dependency on highly technical solutions to protect the nation against terrorist threats at its borders, seaports, and within mass transportation systems. "Concern over...

Controversial proposals for a new anti-terrorism law, which would allow Britain to place suspects under house arrest without the need for a trial, have cleared an important parliamentary hurdle. After a lengthy and, at times, fiery debate, lawmakers voted by 272 to 219 late Monday to back the Prevention of Terrorism Bill. It must now be debated and approved by Parliament's upper chamber, the House of Lords. Earlier Monday Prime Minister Tony Blair's government yielded a point to critics of the anti-terrorism law being rushed through Parliament, agreeing that a judge rather than a politician should issue orders to confine...

MOSCOW Russia's Parliament gave initial support Friday to a new anti-terrorism bill seen by some deputies as undermining people's rights, but the government immediately reacted by saying it should be toned down. The bill, initiated by parliamentary allies of President Vladimir Putin, was proposed in the wake of the Beslan school siege in September in which more than 330 hostages were killed - half of them children - after a Chechen rebel attack.

PARIS - In many countries of Europe, former inmates of the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have been relishing their freedom. In Spain, Denmark and Britain, recently released detainees have railed in public about their treatment at Guantanamo, winning sympathy from local politicians and newspapers. In Sweden, the government has agreed to help one Guantanamo veteran sue his American captors for damages. Not so in France, where four prisoners from the U.S. naval base were arrested as soon as they arrived home in July, and haven't been heard from since. Under French law, they could remain locked up...
