There's a rat in the house

By Sam Huntington  

Several years ago, an acquaintance served as an Embassy attaché in one of the Central American cesspools.  During this period, local government arrested and detained a known (thoroughly nasty) narcoterrorist.  It was difficult to distinguish between the objections voiced by the UN Humanitarian Mission, and demonstrations engineered by communist insurgencies.  Both conspired to intimidate thousands of peasants to participate in demonstrations, demanding release of the narcoterrorist.  As was typical of the communists, dozens of bombs exploded throughout the capital city, and innocent persons were targeted for assassination.  As the communists threatened utter chaos unless the government released the criminal, the constabulary cowered behind the thick doors of a very old citadel.

The government did have sufficient evidence of the narcoterrorist’s misdeeds, but it was mostly circumstantial. No one was foolish enough to offer first hand testimony at a public trial. In spite of the US Embassy’s strenuous arguments to retain the person behind bars, the host nation relented and released the murdering thug. The communists celebrated a major victory over the “Imperialistas norteamericanos,” evan though the US government's involvement in this novella was negligible. It wasn't long before the communists became even more brazen in their attacks upon the local populace, government agencies, police officials, and Catholic priests and nuns.

Not long after the government released this narcoterrorist, the army moved against other narcoterrorists and it was through a subsequent radio interview that a high-ranking military official let it “slip” that information leading to these new arrests had come from the narcoterrorist recently released from jail. It wasn’t true … but someone found the thug's horribly mutilated body within two days. Some argued that justice comes in many forms.

In May 2011, President Barack Obama made a televised announcement about his victory over Osama bin Laden. In this speech, Obama identified Pakistani doctor Shakil Afridi as the person responsible for fingering bin Laden to US intelligence agents. Afridi is now serving 33 years in prison for treason. Is this mere coincidence, or is it something more sinister? Would Barack Hussein Obama destroy a Pakistani family in order to serve his own presidency?

Now let us consider this glut of White House leaks of national security information to the New York Times involving covert operations in Iran, and the so-called "kill list," which some say are designed to make Obama appear competent and “in charge.” In the case of Dr. Afridi, was it Obama’s intention to warn other pro-American Muslims to keep their mouths shut?  Is Mr. Obama attempting to conform to his Muslim roots, providing aid and comfort to our enemy, without actually committing an overt act of treason?

President Obama has proven he is a very clever fellow.  No matter, eh?  We are only speaking about the security of the United States of America.
