Classified military documents from Iraq ended up in Arabic translator’s apartment in Brooklyn
Via JihadWatch: No worries. “This is not a terrorism case. This could happen to any immigrant.” Of course. Any immigrant could inadvertently get a job handling classified military documents, and mistakenly take some home with him, and — who knows? — perhaps without intending to let a few drop into the sight of Iraqi jihadists. But keep your shirt on! This could happen to...
The deadly tentacles of the Arab lobby
In October of 2001, Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, a CAIR financier, offered New York City a check for $10 million dollars to go towards relief efforts in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.

Hezbollah Mole in the CIA Faces a Light Sentence, If Any
The double-standard for Jews. While spying for Hezbollah and Muslim terrorist enemies of the USA, Nada Nadim Prouty apparently faces only 6-12 months behind bars.

Illegal immigrant, Muslim from Lebanon, worked for FBI, CIA, stole info, passed it to Hizballah
How social engineering skills plus a Koran get Jews and Americans killed. Via Jihad Watch: Whew. This story has everything: an illegal immigration angle, a Keystone Kops angle, an espionage angle, a moderate-Muslims-condemn-terror-or-do-they angle, and more. It would make a great movie. If this kind of thing doesn’t kill us first. The illegal immigration angle is of course that illegal...
