1993 World Trade Center bombers exhort jihad in letters. It was 12:18 p.m. on Feb. 26, 1993, lunch time, when the van exploded. The massive bomb rattled the World Trade Center, leaving a giant crater in the underground garage. Six people were killed and more than 1,000 were wounded. At the time, it was the worst act of terrorism ever committed on American soil. Three Islamic extremists were among those convicted; each sentenced to more than 100 years in prison. Former prosecutor Andy McCarthy convicted others involved in the attack. "It's difficult to imagine people who are more evil or...

“When Clinton Lied, Nobody Died” B.S. by Col. Bob Pappas, USMC, Ret. The Democrat National Committee (DNC) is a past master at smear campaigns and predictably is the one that makes the most noise, like a child throwing a tantrum, when unvarnished truth comes back to haunt it. One of the hundreds of examples of Democrat smears appears as a Bumper Sticker (B.S.), “When Clinton lied, nobody died,” with the clear implication being that it was okay for Clinton to lie then, and for them to continue to lie now, just as the B.S. itself is a lie. As the...

The CIA and State Department are actively working to undermine the U.S. war on terrorism by deliberately ignoring evidence that al-Qaeda conspired with Baghdad in the 9/11 attacks. That's the contention of terrorism expert Laurie Mylroie, who detailed the case against the two agencies in an interview with WABC Radio's Monica Crowley earlier this week. Before President Bush launched the Iraq war in March, "[the CIA and State Department] continually sought to undermine the U.S. case [for war] by leaking to their allies in the media that there was no evidence about Iraq's involvement with al-Qaeda," Mylroie explained. "They...

Sitting in the 107th floor restaurant atop the World Trade Center, Matt Morsa watched his soup bowl launch into a herky-jerky dance. The cause was incomprehensible: 1,400 feet below, as Morsa waited for his appetizer, terrorists had tried to bring down the twin towers. It was Feb. 26, 1993, and a rented van loaded with 1,500 pounds of explosives was detonated in a basement parking garage. Six people died, and more than 1,000 were injured on a wintry afternoon. Thousands more, like Morsa, walked down endless staircases filled with choking black smoke, emerging to gulp the frigid air off New...
