...Even the fanciest machines, however, won't make the system fail-safe. Security experts say the hunt for the perfect shield is misplaced: bullets always outrun armor, and the same is true of terrorists and scanners. Or as Winston Churchill warned of a different threat in a different war, "The bomber will always get through." (Read "Detroit Terrorism Suspect: The Nigeria Connection...
...Qaeda is bigger than Osama bin Laden As Obama sends 30,000 more troops to prevent Afghanistan from becoming a haven for terrorists, it is obvious that al-Qaeda has set up franchises to wage offensive war against the U.S. in places like Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. Yemen, which has vast tracts of lawless countryside, has been harboring - and nurturing - terrorists for years. It is the site of the 2000 attack on the U.S.S.

Thailand maintains that Hmong living illegally in Thailand are economic migrants, not political refugees in need of international protection - but the decision to forcibly repatriate them drew international condemnation.
