Texas: Potential terrorists released due to lack of jail space, congressman says

Here's one that will build your confidence in our border controls. From the Brownsville Herald, with thanks to Al-Canine:

Middle Easterners with possible terrorist ties have been detained after entering the country from Mexico but released for lack of jail space, said U.S. Rep. Solomon P. Ortiz, the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness.

“It is true. It is very reliable information, from the horse’s mouth, and it’s happening all over the place,” Ortiz, D-Texas, told The Herald on Thursday.

“It’s very, very scary, and members (of Congress) know about this. We have contacted several agencies, and I have talked to some people, but I can’t say who.”

Yes, it is happening all over the country. It seems that law enforcement is passing the buck. This idiocy is suicide! The Keystone cops in action. What happened to our famous American problem-solving? Will it become necessary to fall back upon our ancestor's dangerous and frowned upon vigilanteeism and citizen's arrest?

Something must be done. Yesterday they apprehended a woman with a false identity that had entered 250 times. Members of Congress know about this problem yet seem paralyzed. They, too, are passing the buck.

They are bearing out another cliche: a politician's main job is to get elected and then stay in office. Their self-serving actions during this election cyle prove that.

Thought they had corrals in Texas...

No jail space huh,"Right", we have most of Americas youth imprisoned for drug crimes.
Why? Dunno, maybe we like to continue destroying our civic structure by waging the war on drugs that costs gazillions.

This shows that local Elections are in portant!!!

Just How Serious is "Top Secret"?

This is precisely the reason that Mr. Berger’s behavior must be seriously investigated. It matters not what his political affiliation is – though from my experience Democrat appointees seem more dismissive of rules of classification than Republicans. Perhaps it springs from an anti-establishment view. Nevertheless, safeguarding classified information is – or ought to be – drummed into the heads of all government officials, uniformed or civilian, career or political appointee, cabinet level or lounge lizard – from day one on the job.

Think about this when you vote!
The President can't do this alone we have to get people like the sherrif in AZ who will put them in tents in the desert?If that is what it takes!!

In MI they are going to let out terrorist if they do not get a public defender in a short enough time weather they are gulty or not the only thing to do is arm yourselfs and learn to shoot streight?

Simple solution to this one then :
The Mexicans are letting them in, so why not lock 'em up in mexican jails. They'll soon be missing Gitmo.

Time to borrow the Israel Sceurity Wall blueprints....The Mexicans, under their crooked Presidente Miss Fox, are more bother than they're worth.

The immigration has to stop. I don't care who gets offended. In fact, the easily hurt, fragile Muslims are already hurt over the fact that the 9/11 Commission has named our enemy. Our security comes before the feelings of those who aren't from here, that want to come here and not pay taxes while we're cost and tolerance burdened with their presence and arrogant, demanding attitudes here.

Correction: Security Wall blueprints

Chuck,

Before you get all high and mighty, consider this: al Qaeda and the Taliban draw their primary sources of income from drugs, not oil, despite Osama's Saudi connections. These "poor misguided youth" your heart bleeds for are actually aiding the enemy, when, of course, they are not busy shooting each other and innocent bystanders.

These punks belong in jail, or in a pine box. There are every bit as guilty of supporting terrorism as are farmers that grow the opium.

Put that fact in your bong and smoke it.

Well said DC ,ditto for the ports of Dover and Southhampton in the UK, minus the wall, pehaps several leagues of the worst offending harbour docks choc-a-bloc with sea-mines.

Bob,
Whats the heroin scene like in the States? It got worse over here for a few years but the government seem to be fixing it now with more treatments for drug-addicts than ever(for all age groups) and a much higher rate of drug-busts.
I'll point out again as you did, that most of the Heroin/Opium smugglers are of middle eastern origin, who connect with "british" muslim dealers already in drug/crime/prostitution havens such as Bradford and Leicester (which have two of the largest muslim populations of all UK cities). The heroin epidemic is an effective and lethal form of terrorism that acheives 3 main goals:
1.)Taking chunks out of the economy through soaring crime rates,prison needs,treatment programs,rehabs, and therapy.
2.)Turning innocent "infidel" kids/teens with bright futures into smack-head zombies zombie, whose quality of life plummets drastically, increases risk of deadly viruses spreading+risk of overdose, and taking away their desire and sometimes their ability to breed, causing population decrease, as muslim populations increase.
3.)As you suggested, to fund terrorist organizations and smokescreen islamic butt-kissing groups like CAIR in the US.They also make money from hookers who they pimp out ,pay them in drugs and rake in the cash.
Sickening, infuriating, but sadly, true.

Rikki, I don't have anything to add to what you have already said, other than the "popular" drug of choice tends to ebb and flow.

Terrorists were released for lack of jail space? Unbelievable..

Well.. I guess we could put one of those electronic monitoring devices onto their ankles. I hear these devices are virtually indestructable.

I guess the good news is that if one of these guys blows himself up in a daycare center while wearing one of those ankle devices, the device itself won't be destroyed..

...Either that or give them self destructing neck collars like those in The Running Man and pen them all off in a field like animals.

kj
it is always fun for me to talk about Sandy Berger stuffing papers in his pants?


Why was he stuffing papers in his pants?


UBL and Arafat are YELLOW

Somebody finally has a rational plan for dealing with the Palestinians:


Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

To start off, I don’t know much about the Middle East. I don’t know who is an arab and who is technically not an arab, how much killing the Koran actually condones, or even what continent the Middle East is on. I mean, it’s wedged right in there between Europe, Africa, and Asia, so which one is it? What I do know is that it’s really hard to sympathize with the Palestinians. Maybe if once I read off the AP “Today, a group of Palestinian thugs grabbed a man they thought to be plotting a suicide bombing of an Israeli daycare and beat him severely for eight hours straight. France has already denounced it as one of the worst acts of violence they have ever witnessed.” then I’d be like, “Hey, those Palestinians are pretty cool. Maybe the Israelis should be nicer to them.” Instead I’m always hearing things like “A bomb has gone off in a crowded marketplace in Israel. Reports are still sketchy on the dead and injured, but we already have video of the Palestinians celebrating by jumping up and down and screeching like deranged howler monkeys.” and I’m like, “I hate the Palestinians. Why haven’t the Israelis killed them all yet? Don’t they have some sort of Zionist conspiracy to deal with these ‘people?’”
Obviously, those Palestinians cannot be reasoned with like adults, so I say Israel should treat them like children. They should force all the Palestinians to sit in the corner for a couple hours thinking about why what they have been supporting is wrong. After that, they must all write one hundred word essays on why murder is bad. All answers will then be graded on a bell curve. The top five percent of scorers will be leaders of the new government, the middle ninety percent will be sent back to their business, and the bottom five percent immediately executed. Finally, in celebration of the new government, Arafat will be shot out of a cannon.

I could live with that.
