Not
only is the supposed CIA asset not a CIA asset at all, but the entire
operation was exposed prematurely and the double-agent's life was
immediately threatened by an intelligence leak that very well may have come

Technology’s capabilities are moving at
lightning speed, so fast that, ironically, they may be turned against the
U.S. by end users who now possess the knowledge

The ghosts of Somalia
past, Iraq present and
Iran future haunt the U.N.’s “Responsibility to
Protect” (R2P) doctrine - created to stop genocide, war crimes, crimes
against humanity and ethnic cleansing. Is R2P irrelevant?
Both parties’ establishments favor big

been forced to bow before Iran
on its nuclear program, demonstrating the West's abandonment of
Israel and paving the way for the Islamic regime
to annihilate the Jewish state.
From today's New York Times, a story
about Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the lone American POW in
Afghanistan.

disaster as conceived and executed by Gens. Petraues and McChrystal under
Presidents Bush and Obama.
