One of the segments featured on Your World w/Cavuto today (August 18, 2006) was captioned, "Why is Russia Doing Business with Nations that Hate America?" Cavuto's guest was Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the Vice-Chairman of Russia's Parliament. Zhirinovsky spoke only Russian and appeared with a translator who himself had difficulty speaking English.
Cavuto prefaced his introducting, with a graphic that read, "From Russia With 'Hate'?" over his shoulder, by saying that Russia recently sold... (more)
TERRORISTS are "rolling around the caves of Pakistan, laughing" at Britain's response to the terror threat, an airline boss said last night as he gave the government a seven-day deadline to relax restrictions or face legal action.
Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary described some of the security measures as "farcical, Keystone Kops-like and completely insane and ineffectual".
Pilots also attacked the measures, which ban them from taking toothpaste on to aircraft, and sai... (more)
A six-year, $4.7 billion effort to slash Colombia's coca crop has done little, according to an article slated for Saturday's New York Times, RAW STORY has learned.
"The latest chapter in America’s long war on drugs — a six-year, $4.7 billion effort to slash Colombia’s coca crop — has left the price, quality and availability of cocaine on American streets virtually unchanged," reports Juan Forero for The Times.
German officials said on Friday that suitcase bombs that failed to go off on two regional trains July 31 were likely part of a failed terrorist attack and released surveillance video of possible suspects they are seeking.
"If these bombs were detonated, this very likely would have caused deaths and injured," German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said.
"Therefore we have to take this event very seriously. And we have to expect that the danger of a repeat attemp... (more)
A single airliner -- a "magic plane," if you will -- was responsible for all of the carnage on Sept. 11, 2001.
It first struck the north tower of the World Trade Center, flew through the building, circled for 17 minutes before striking the second tower. It headed down the Eastern seaboard where it struck the Pentagon, took off again, landed at a secret Air Force installation, reloaded with clones -- yes, clones! -- and headed off to its final crash site in Pennsylvania. ...

In their resignation letter, Serene Sabbagh and Jomana Karadsheh wrote "We can no longer work with a news organization that claims to be fair and balanced when you are so far from that."

(CBS4) BOSTON There are new details emerging about a Vermont woman’s bizarre behavior that forced a trans-Atlantic flight to be diverted to Logan Airport Wednesday.
In federal court documents released Thursday, investigators said 59-year-old Catherine Mayo of Braintree, Vermont was "biting her fingers, rubbing her feet and in a constant state of movement" aboard United flight 923, which was heading from London to Dulles Airport in Virginia. The pilot declared an in-flight em... (more)
ONE of the terror suspects detained in Britain last week over an alleged plot to bomb transatlantic flights was involved in helping victims of the July 7 bus and tube bombs in London last year.
Umar Islam, then a ticket inspector on London buses, helped search for bombs on other buses and assisted victims of the Tavistock Square bus bomb to safety.
Further details emerged yesterday of some of the 23 British Muslims arrested under Britain's new anti-terrorism laws la... (more)
Ryanair today threatened to sue the government for compensation unless airport security measures are returned to normal within seven days.
Michael O'Leary, the outspoken chief executive of Ryanair, described the new restrictions as "farcical Keystone Cops security measures that don't add anything except to block up airports", as he issued the ultimatum.
At a news conference in London, Mr O'Leary, described as "nonsense" the increased body checks and the new carry-on... (more)
Four out of five Britons believe the west is losing the "war against terror" and want Tony Blair to distance British foreign policy from the United States, a poll revealed today.
The YouGov survey for today's Spectator magazine, conducted following the arrest of 24 people in the alleged airline terror plot last week, also revealed that a majority thought it fairly likely Britain would suffer a terrorist attack in the next year, while a third thought it very likely.
Police investigating the alleged plot to blow up airliners over the Atlantic have reportedly found a suitcase described last night as a potential ''bomb kit."
There was no confirmation from Scotland Yard of a BBC report suggesting the bag contained items that could be used to construct a device able to bring down a plane.
Detectives have been given another seven days to question 21 suspects arrested in London, the Midlands and in the Thames Valley. They have five da... (more)
President Bush’s job approval rating dipped two points in the last three weeks, despite the foiling of an airline terror plot and the adoption of a cease–fire deal between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, a new Zogby International telephone poll shows.
The survey was conducted Aug. 11–15, 2006, included 1,018 respondents, and carries a margin of error of +/– 3.1 percentage points.
The numbers continue to reflect erosion in the Presiden... (more)
CLINTONVILLE, Ohio, Aug. 17 -- Married women with children, the "security moms" whose concerns about terrorism made them an essential part of Republican victories in 2002 and 2004, are taking flight from GOP politicians this year in ways that appear likely to provide a major boost for Democrats in the midterm elections, according to polls and interviews.
This critical group of swing voters -- who are an especially significant factor in many of the most competitive suburban distric... (more)
Quote from Moseley's "9/11 Bush Bashers": At a national conference broadcast nationwide on C-SPAN, key conspiracy leader Alex Jones announced that the American government has already collapsed and a shadow government is now running our country. This radio talk-show host next announced – on tape – that Osama bin Laden is now a paid agent of the CIA... (more)
Analysis The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air;
And a loud voice came forth out of the temple of Heaven,
From the throne, saying, "It is done!"
--Revelation 16:17
Binary liquid explosives are a sexy staple of Hollywood thrillers. It would be tedious to enumerate the movie terrorists who've employed relatively harmless liquids that, when mixed, immediately rain destruction upon an innocent populace, like the seven angels of God's wrath pouring out ... (more)
Fox gave airtime again today (August 16, 2006) on Your World w/Cavuto to a guest who represents the Christian version of the mullahs and clerics and Socialists and "new Hitlers" Fox constantly reminds us of who lurk in dark corners of the world waiting to destroy us. Today's Armageddon-based Rapturist was Joel Rosenberg, who Fox benignly identified as a "Middle East Analyst" and the author of "The Copper Scroll."
Yesterday's guest, John Hagee was vehement but Rosenberg was practic... (more)
WorldNetDaily has learned that ally Pakistan failed to outlaw an al-Qaida charitable front after it was tied to last year's London bombings, and the inaction allowed the charity to finance the new London-based plot to bomb U.S.-bound jetliners.
On April 28, the U.S. Department of State added Pakistan-based Jamaat-Ud-Dawa to its blacklist of Specially Designated Global Terrorist Organizations. But the Pakistani government did not follow suit.
A majority of British people wants the Government to adopt an even more "aggressive" foreign policy to combat international terrorism, according to an opinion poll conducted after the arrests of 24 terrorism suspects last week.
However - by a margin of more than five to one - the public wants Tony Blair to split from President George W Bush and either go it alone in the "war on terror", or work more closely with Europe.
Only eight per cent of those questioned by You... (more)
Top Pakistani intelligence agents said today the alleged terror suspects arrested last week over an alleged plot to blow up a number of planes crossing the Atlantic did not have had the experience to carry out the attack.
But the two senior agents said that if the alleged terror cell members arrested in Pakistan and Britain last week had undergone appropriate weapons and explosives training, they could have emulated massive attacks like those five years ago in New York and Washing... (more)
Yesterday morning [8-17-06] Lt. Col. Ralph Peters appeared on FOX & Friends to give his assessment of the recent cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon. The gung-ho ultra-conservative military advisor and author delivered his take on the recent hostilities. In the Colonel's world, all is black-and-white and one doesn't negotiate with bloodthirsty heathens.
At one point Peters departed from the usual script on Hezbollah and Israel and opined that Israel lost the last war. However, h... (more)
It is only a band of silver, imprinted with a Bible verse, worn by a schoolgirl.
But the decision by one of the country's top state schools to ban American-style 'purity rings' - increasingly worn by Christian teenagers to symbolise a pledge not to have sex before marriage - has prompted not just a standoff with local parents, but a debate over religious expression and sex education.
Heather and Philip Playfoot have spent almost two years in dispute with Millais Sch... (more)
A Fox News guest proposed having a "Muslims only" line for airport travelers, an idea that "Dayside" co-host Mike Jerrick called attention to it so that viewers did not overlook the proposal.
Conservative radio host Mike Gallagher suggested the idea during a segment Tuesday (August 15, 2006) with constitutional lawyer Michael Gross discussing racial profiling.
"Dayside" co-host Juliet Huddy set up the debate by noting that all terrorists have been Muslim extremists,... (more)
NORFOLK - When Ariel J. Weinmann stepped off an international flight into the Dallas airport on March 26, a federal customs agent was waiting for him.
Before the plane's arrival, customs had run passengers' names through a database listing outstanding arrest warrants. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Allen Brock knew only that the Navy wanted to arrest the 21-year-old petty officer third class on a charge of deserting the submarine Albuquerque last July.
