Danger: Porous Borders


FBI: Iraqis Being Smuggled Across the Rio Grande - Brian Ross

The FBI is investigating a human smuggling operation that has been bringing "Iraqis and other Middle Eastern" individuals across the Rio Grande from Mexico for more than a year.An FBI report issued last week says the smuggling organization "used to smuggle Mexicans, but decided to smuggle Middle Eastern individuals because it was more lucrative." Each individual paid $20,000 to $25,000.

Beefing up the border security? Next we'll hear about how vulnerable our shipping ports are. Did George W. hire John Kerry as his new press secretary? That migh explain the cover of the Times today that said Administration officials admit Al-Qaeda policy was a crock (to paraphrase). You might also want to look at Thomas Friedman's column today for more Mideast Soundbites!
