Didn't you know? If you're not white, then you're not an American.
Regardless of your place of birth, place of your upbringing, your native language, or citizenship. None of that matters to these losers unless your skin is pale.

Seriously though I can almost imagine this happening.

NSA spying under fire: 'You've got a problem':

"In a heated confrontation over domestic spying, members of Congress said
Wednesday they never intended to allow the National Security Agency to build a
database of every phone call in America. And they threatened to curtail the
government's surveillance authority.

Top Obama administration officials countered that the once-secret program was
legal and necessary to keep America safe. And they left open the possibility that
they could build similar databases of people's credit card transactions, hotel records
and Internet searches."

See:

http://news.yahoo.com/nsa-spying-und...164530431.html

The Obama crew seems to think that privacy is a privilege, and not a right.

I guess they thought Orwell's "1984" was an instruction manual, instead of a
warning.......

Purported Taleban letter explains why they shot Pakistani schoolgirl

Quote:

Islamabad, Pakistan (July 18, Thu): In a letter to a Pakistani schoolgirl shot in the head on her way home from school, a senior Taleban commander purportedly tells her that she was targeted not because she advocated education for all girls, but rather for her criticism of the militant group.

The letter attributed to Adnan Rashid was released just days after 16-year-old Malala Yousafzai took the stage at the United Nations, where she delivered an emotional plea for the right to go to school on behalf of all children.

Malala was 15 when gunmen jumped on her school bus and shouted her name, scaring other girls into identifying her, in the Swat Valley on Oct 9 last year. The attack sparked massive protests in Pakistan and condemnation worldwide.

CNN cannot confirm the authenticity of the letter, but its validity has been generally accepted by Pakistan intelligence officials.

CNN

We aren't misogynist, really. But we'll kill you all the same. Just because.

They seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that shooting a teenage girl in the head for speaking out is a heinous thing to do for any possible reason.

Dumber than Dumber.

It is bizarre to see even terrorists can fear bad PR. Guess the shooting incident must have hampered their recruitment efforts sufficiently for them to try and do damage control. But as you might expect, Terrorists don't have any experience with trying to make themselves look good...

I always thought that Disney and Pixar made a fantastic attempt at portraying evil organisations (or even NOLF). They have lots of evil plans but it is always ruined by their incompetent evil minions even in their planning cadre.

I call bullshit. They never intended to allow citizens to know about it, that's all. They knew full well what was happening the entire time.

No, the government in general (not just one side) know it's a right, but would rather tout "security" as being #1 most important, trumping everything.

I think that is more true of the Senate, whose Intelligence committee has oversight responsibilities in this area. The House is a lot less plugged-in, especially the backbenchers. What makes this issue politically interesting is that it joins the libertarian wings of the Democrats and Republicans against the centrists.

Satellite images show entire Tibetan villages ‘relocated’ under controversial Chinese program:

"By the end of this year, the report estimates, 90 percent of Tibet’s nomadic
population will have been moved into sedentary “New Socialist Villages,” effectively
ending their traditional lifestyle and, because many know no other way to provide for
themselves, making them reliant on the Chinese government."

That sounds REALLY familiar...

Hate to say it, but that definitely sounds very... Colonial. China would definitely hate to be compared to the old British Empire, but in this case the label is well-deserved.

DETROIT — Detroit on Thursday became the largest city in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy, as the state-appointed emergency manager filed for Chapter 9 protection. Kevyn Orr, a bankruptcy expert, was hired by the state in March to lead Detroit out of a fiscal free-fall and made the filing Thursday in federal bankruptcy court.
