US Defence Secretary Robert Gates, who has been named to the same Cabinet post by the incoming President-elect Barack Obama's Administration, has asked experienced members of the Bush war team to stick around to smooth the transition process in the Pentagon.

There is such an increase of interfaith dialogue in our community lately, that it raises some concerns. While it is important to keep the doors open for dialogue, it is imperative to know who you are dialoguing with. Freedom of religion in the United States allows Islamists to encourage interfaith dialogue but in their countries there is no such freedom. Many Muslim leaders project peace and love, but beneath that is an agenda of ingratiating themselves to the American community to obtain acceptance and support for their mission.

It's been a while since we have heard much about it, but, bioterrorism has once aging reared it ugly head. On December 3rd the Commission on Prevention of WMD Proliferation and Terrorism released its report: World at Risk. While the report deals a lot with the threat of a nuclear attack it also presents the conclusions of the expert panel on the threat of a bioterrorism attack on U.S. soil. The major conclusion of the study is that the World faces the likelihood of a bioterrorist attack sometime between now and the year 2013. It is quite likely that such an attack would occur somewhere in this country or at a U.S. facility in some other country.

The recent episode of letters sent thru the mail with white powder in them reaffirmed how easy such an attack might be carried out. While these envelopes were a hoax the episode in 2001 where envelopes laced with anthrax were sent to various Congressman and news commentators demonstrates that a biological agent can be transmitted in a relatively unsophisticated manner.

ALBANY — Before 9/11, information that young men were making large homemade firecrackers might have resulted in a knock on their door and a clunk on the head from a town cop telling them to cut it out.
But since Sept. 11, 2001, things have changed drastically, and a refocused FBI was never more evident than in a recent counterterrorism case that ensnared three Capital Region men on charges of making and trafficking in 'destructive devices.'
ALBANY — Before 9/11, information that young men were making large homemade firecrackers might have resulted in a knock on their door and a clunk on the head from a town cop telling them to cut it out.
But since Sept. 11, 2001, things have changed drastically, and a refocused FBI was never more evident than in a recent counterterrorism case that ensnared three Capital Region men on charges of making and trafficking in 'destructive devices.'
The investigation broke open on Dec. 5 when the men were arrested in a federal anti-terrorism task force raid of several homes in Watervliet and Troy. Police seized mail-order chemicals and materials used to make explosives, cannon fuses, rifles, BBs, a computer and a small amount of marijuana.

The insurance giant AIG has lately become the poster child for corporate risk-taking, mismanagement and greed. Its unimaginably large losses, rooted in insurance it extended to financial companies engaged in subprime mortgage-backed transactions, have destroyed both AIG's corporate reputation and balance sheet.

Fox News ran a story on December 16, 2008 about Guantanamo Bay that featured an interview with Army Brig. Gen. Gregory Zanetti, the deputy commander of Joint Task Force Guantanamo since February 2008. Gen. Zanetti, a West Point graduate who holds advanced degrees from Boston University and a master’s degree in strategic studies from the Army War College, is a professional money management expert in civilian life. So, while it is understandable that many things about this National Guard general’s first overseas deployment might have been new and different to him, the ideology of the prison’s high profile Muslim inmates should not have been one of them. And yet, for this highly educated, superb professional soldier, the reality that al Qaeda’s top commanders are in fact devout Muslims seems to have left him completely perplexed. That this level of our national leadership in the War Against Islamic Jihad does not yet grasp the fundamental nature of the enemy threat deployed against us is, in its way, even more terrifying than what that enemy wants to do to us.
