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
out of the White House for political gain.
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
we created. The implications for counterintelligence are profound.
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
government because they derive and maintain power by delivering favorable
legislation and distributing tax revenues to patrons. So will they always
oppose reform efforts?
We can’t take comfort in the successful
thwarting of bomb maker Al-Asiri’s plot. One official described the spy who
intercepted the explosive as “gold dust…such assets are few and far

On the essential issue, R. Emmett Tyrrell

IEDs.

Iranian outlets have been claiming
recently the United States has
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.
We still don't know the circumstances under which he was captured in 2009,
but we do know something about his outlook on the counterinsurgency (COIN)
disaster as conceived and executed by Gens. Petraues and McChrystal under
Presidents Bush and Obama.
