This requires at least a basic understanding of the issues in the Middle East. With it you are likely to find this funny, regardless of which side you are on.¹

CAIR

It seems that the Council for Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) ¹ has been protesting too loudly about being an unindicted co-conspirator of another organization that was found guilty of funneling funds to the HAMAS terror organization.

The US Department of Justice has issued an opinion to a member of Congress regarding the CAIR-HAMAS link, which sums up the problem that CAIR has. According to the DOJ:

“Enclosed are … trial transcripts … contain testimony and other evidence … which demonstrated a relationship among CAIR, individual CAIR founders, and the Palestine Committee. Evidence was also introduced that demonstrated a relationship between the Palestine Committee and HAMAS.” ²

On the other hand, CAIR might not need to protest about being an unindicted co-conspirator for much longer, as according to some reports there is a federal grand jury investigation into the matter.³

Central Intelligence Agency

The unintentional release of a confidential Transportation Security Administration (TSA) document by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “outed” a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) program known as Worldwide Operations Meet and Assist Program (WOMAP) less than two weeks ago.¹

WOMAP is an interesting program, as it was not publicly known before the release. For example, Google showed no CIA related hits for WOMAP prior to the unintentional release.

Naturally over the past two weeks a large number of amateur and professional “investigators” have attempted to figure out what WOMAP really means.² As would be expected in the era of Google searching, without Internet leads little new information has been forthcoming.

What terrorist needs an intelligence gathering operation when it has the Department of Homeland Security doing what it does best: screwing up?

This time DHS decided to post a sensitive document — apparently not classified, but sensitive — online, detailing airport screening procedures, titled “Screening Management Standard Operating Procedures“.¹

Terrorists — aka Enemy Combatants — in Guantanamo Bay Prison must be humming to the tune of Happy Days.¹ That’s because they’ve moved from an enemy combatant held under Geneva conventions up to apparently the same rights as those afforded to American citizens. No longer do they need to worry about a criminal tribunals like others who were similarly situated in former conflicts.²

But what does it really mean to kick out past precedent and start anew?
