1. Where did Hussein Barack bin Abdallah Obama apply for the

Top Dog post at?
2. Does this come as a surprise?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.02.13)
It shouldn't. Can anyone spell Aldrich Ames? How about Robert Hanson? And don't anyone even THINK of saying Jonathan Pollard. Pollard spied for one of the good guys. Ames and Hanson -- or, for that matter, James Jesus Angleton, the Walker family, Alger Hiss and Whittaker Chambers -- did not.
3. Given CIA's "outreach" policy, hardly surprising
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (09.02.13)
Especially since 9/11, it's been clear the US intelligence agencies lacked analysts and translators sufficient to deal with the troubles centered in the Islamic world. So they've been recruiting. But rather than turn to communities whose values and loyalties better reflect those of the US - Sephardi Jews, Arab Christians, Iranian Baha'is, etc. - they've turned to the Arab and Muslim communities. But if they're recruiting in Dearborn, for example, where many support Hamas and Hezbullah, it shouldn't surprise if many take the opportunity to try to infiltrate these agencies. After all, they were "invited".
4. Head of CIA Moslem Convert
Bill Stein ,   USA   (09.02.13)
What do you expect the head of the CIA is a Moslem convert
5. Snowden vs Tyranny
Brod ,   USA   (09.02.13)
Freedom loving Americans should side with Snowden in defending freedom against the tyranny of government. Government can't simply spy on the people of America who have nothing to do with terrorism. Doing so is tyranny and great injustice.
6. bad guyh apply
freddie ,   USA   (09.02.13)
good way to get your name on watch list
7. and what subset would that be?
David ,   USA   (09.02.13)
A particular subset .... now which one would that be. Unfortunately, I suspect political correctness prevents actually disclosing this relevant piece of information.
8. #5 brod - anarchy and tyranny
solomon ,   bklyn   (09.02.13)
How does one know who does and who does not have anything to do with terrorism, until you find out about them? If there are suspicions, find out. If it helps us from getting killed, keep finding out.
9. #1 ... you're sick. really sick.
Robert Levita ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.02.13)
10. YEAH...

shut the barn door after the horses bolted.
11. Solomon #8
Brod ,   USA   (09.02.13)
It does not take Rocket Science to know who are the Terrorists. They are Islamist-Jihadist Terrorists who worship the god of Terrorism and 72 Virgins!
12. #11 brod
solomon ,   bklyn   (09.03.13)
And how does one discover who they are? Not all of them dress the part. Some are naturalized US citizens. Never underestimate your enemy.
13. Solomon #12
Brod ,   USA   (09.03.13)
Naturalized or not, the Trojan Horse shares an Islamist name. They attend Mosques to be incited by their Islamist-Jihadist Hate Preachers that spew their venom against Jews, Christians and Western Civilization.
