The Insider - British special forces caught dressed as Arab 'terrorists' British soldiers have been caught posing as Arabs and shooting Iraqis in the occupied city of Basra in southern Iraq.
A group of them was caught yesterday by Iraqi police. They were driving an Iraqi car, wearing Arab clothing, and carrying weapons and explosives. The Iraqi police were patrolling the area looking for suspected "terrorists" or "insurgents", and they noticed that the men were acting suspiciously. Suddenly, without warning, the suspicious men started shooting at people, but the new Iraqi security forces managed to capture some of them before they could escape. Obviously, if these men had not been caught, the mass media would now be reporting the incident as just another attempt by evil "terrorists" to create civil war in Iraq. There have been a number of incidents in this area and throughout Iraq in which police and civilians have been targeted and killed by "terrorists" or "insurgents". The Iraqi police arrested the men and put them in prison. Gmancasefile: TSA: Fail.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was formed to ensure America’s freedom to travel.
Instead, they have made air travel the most difficult means of mass transit in the United States, at the same time failing to make air travel any more secure. TSA has never, (and I invite them to prove me wrong), foiled a terrorist plot or stopped an attack on an airliner. Ever. They crow about weapons found and insinuate that this means they stopped terrorism. They claim that they can’t comment due to “national security” implications. I have a unique position from which to make these statements. I am, as I have said before, a political conservative, a law and order kind of guy and I get misty when the national anthem is played at a football game and jets fly over in salute.
I have been a pilot for more than 35 years. My father's position at United Airlines was Manager of Security. As a SWAT Agent, I was fully trained to interdict hijackings. The entire TSA paradigm is flawed. 1. 2. 3. Tariq Sabri documents. Ex-soldier in Mount Rainier killing stationed at deeply troubled base. The body of Iraq war veteran Benjamin Colton Barnes, 24, was found at Mount Rainier National Park, Wash.
NBC's Kristen Dahlgren reports. By M. Alex Johnson, Staff Writer, NBC News Updated at 8:50 p.m. ET: Brandon Friedman, an Army combat veteran in Afghanistan and Iraq and author of the highly regarded memoir "The War I Always Wanted," warned against linking post-traumatic stress disorder or conditions at Joint Base Lewis-McChord to Barnes' alleged behavior. There's "obviously no question of a tie between combat and PTSD," Friedman said in a Twitter message to msnbc.com.
Mount Rainier National Park remains closed until at least Saturday, park officials said. Barnes was from Riverside County, Calif., and as a teenager attended a community day school for expelled and troubled students, the Press-Enterprise newspaper reported.

On 12 April 2004, the Coalition Provisional Authority in Erbil in northern Iraq handed over $1.5 billion in cash to a local courier.
The money, fresh $100 bills shrink-wrapped on pallets, which filled three Blackhawk helicopters, came from oil sales under the UN’s Oil for Food Programme, and had been entrusted by the UN Security Council to the Americans to be spent on behalf of the Iraqi people. The CPA didn’t properly check out the courier before handing over the cash, and, as a result, according to an audit report by the CPA’s inspector general, ‘there was an increased risk of the loss or theft of the cash.’ Paul Bremer, the American pro-consul in Baghdad until June last year, kept a slush fund of nearly $600 million cash for which there is no paperwork: $200 million of this was kept in a room in one of Saddam’s former palaces, and the US soldier in charge used to keep the key to the room in his backpack, which he left on his desk when he popped out for lunch.
