While there was an increase in the overall budget, due to reallocation of funds within the Department some agencies actually experienced a budget cut in security measures.

It was true in Shakespeare's Hamlet and it seems to be true now as that lovely little country on the Baltic Sea has scored a liberal hat trick in the past two weeks. First there was the Copenhagen Climate Summit, officially the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference, which allowed the Danish capital to host the movers and shakers of the hoax known as human-caused climate change. Next came Politiken, the second largest newspaper in Denmark, with their editorial claiming President Barack Obama is greater than Jesus.

The attack occurred in the Northwest of the country, where a terrorist drove a car onto a field where a Volleyball game was taking place. The blast killed at least 75 and wounded more than 60 people. The Taliban are suspected, and it may have been revenge against the community for organizing a local militia to keep the radical Islamists from controlling the area. . . .

CEO Richard Anderson told employees in a recorded message Thursday that airlines have done everything the government has asked since 9/11 to follow advanced passenger notification requirements and heightened screening measures.

Mughrabi led the worst terror attack in Israel's history in 1978, when she and other terrorists hijacked a bus and killed 37 civilians. Present at the ceremony were Palestinian dignitaries and a children's marching band. Earlier this year, Abbas sponsored a computer center named after Mughrabi.
