Iran EFP Story Quickly Crumbles Under Scrutiny

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/IJ27Ak05.html


Explosive charge blows up in US's face
By Gareth Porter
"...The explosive expert who claimed at the February briefing that EFPs could only be made in Iran was then made available to the New York Times to explain away the new find. Major Marty Weber now backed down from his earlier statement and admitted that there were "copy cat" EFPs being machined in Iraq that looked identical to those allegedly made in Iran to the untrained eye."

Repeat a lie long enough and it becomes truth.

Top ten most dangerous political institutions in America according to Family Security Matters (laughing!) contributing editor Jason Rantz:

10) ThinkProgress
9) Muslim Student Association
8) CodePINK
7) American Civil Liberties Union, National
6) Family Research Council
5) Center for American Progress
4) League of the South
3) MoveOn.org
2) Universities and Colleges
1) Media Matters for America

Worth a read if only to examine the highly specious sources he uses for reference. Maybe someone should question his time in (2. Universities and Colleges) college??? Any indoctrination or loyalty oaths sworn to anti-American influences in the dorms, Jason?

FEMA Meets the Press, Which Happens To Be...FEMA

"Of course, that could be because the questions were asked by FEMA staffers playing reporters. We're told the questions were asked by Cindy Taylor, FEMA's deputy director of external affairs, and by "Mike" Widomski, the deputy director of public affairs. Director of External Affairs John "Pat" Philbin asked a question, and another came, we understand, from someone who sounds like press aide Ali Kiri."

Xenophobia or Cleverness?

I am requesting that [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] come into our building and do a door to door documentation of everyone's legal status in this country ... If you do not make yourselves available with your documentation, I will allow authorities to do whatever they deem necessary, including forcible entry into the unit," wrote Lilyann Ferrara, in a letter circulated Oct. 8 among tenants, about 70 percent of whom are Brazilian.

After some tenants called their lawyers and denounced the letter, Ferrara abruptly resigned Oct. 14, citing health problems. At an emergency meeting Thursday, board members voted in a new president.
