I have spent the last several months co-producing a documentary for "Dateline NBC," along with Richard Greenberg of NBC News, on the 2006 Airline terror plot, widely considered Al Qaeda's most ambitious plot since 9/11. The program will air this coming Monday the 15th on NBC at 10pm Eastern. The plan, authorities alleged, was to explode up to seven airliners en route from Heathrow airport to North American cities. Based on interviews with key officials ...

The fruit of jihadist recruitment of Americans and Europeans, which we have noted many times here -- and which underscores that, despite the dominant understanding of this issue, it is not a racial issue at all.

It’s been seven years since the terrorist attacks on a bright blue September 11 morning. On this day we bear witness to the human beings whose lives were taken in a fiery act of jihad: the people in the airplanes, the people in the towers and in the Pentagon, the people who were forced to make a terrible choice between burning alive and jumping out into space toward the hard ground below. We haven’t forgotten ...

You can spend up to $100 a month for various cable and satellite services to watch the new season of programming that began this week. Or, if you've got an internet connection and are willing to be a little more creative than buying episodes for $2 off Amazon Unbox or iTunes, you can view most of it for free. There are limitations, of course, but after digging through each channel's website, I found the sheer ...

Like during most special days, or when something big happens, I have to take a stroll through the fever swamps of the Internet, to see what their talking points, and insanity, are. I usually avoid posting any of it on 9/11, though. This, though, yikes! Crooks and Liars(perfect name for a Liberal blog) posted Keith Olbermann’s special comment about the GOP trademarking 9/11. You can go over and view the video, as well as read ...

-By Warner Todd Huston Everyone was shocked when Barack Obama dumped his claim to be the agent of “change” by choosing a status quo, ages old politician for his vice presidential slot. Many laughed outloud the second Biden’s name slipped out of the messiah’s lips. Apparently even Senator Joe Biden is shocked. Slow Joe told a crowd on Wednesday that Hillary Clinton might have been a better pick to fill the second slot on the ...

Let us also remember the people, our neighbors, our friends, our loved ones, our countrymen, who were lost that day fondly. We can remember them by saying “never again.” We can remember them by not allowing the Muslim fanatics, who have the stated intention of destroying modern civilization, to do just that. We can remember them by rebuilding. We can remember them by resisting those who would have a 9/10 mentality. We can make their ...

The day before the seventh anniversary of al Qaeda’s Sept. 11 attacks on the US, Adm. Mike Mullen, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff said of the war which followed those attacks: “I’m not convinced we are winning it in Afghanistan. I am convinced we can.” DEBKAfile’s military and counter-terror sources note that the commander's frank words laid bare the impasse reached in America’s war on terror, with no real strategic solution for ...

Three jam-packed days, and 52 startup demos later, we finally have a winner for this year’s TechCrunch50. Every day, the presentations just seemed to get stronger and stronger. There were so many strong contenders this year that we are awarding five jury selection prizes, in addition to the top prize. But there must be a winner, and that winner is…Yammer. Yammer is Twitter with a business model. Created by an existing company, Geni, to scratch ...

The problem with Yammer is getting your non-techie coworkers to first understand what it is and then get them to use it. Once over those hurdles, it would be really nice in the workplace.

Matt Damon portrayed Bourne in the movie version of the novels and did a remarkable job with the character. Unfortunately, it would seem that Matt Damon has trouble with his brain in real life. He was interviewed and gave his impression of Sarah Palin. Damon stated that the ...

The National Enquirer has the details. They include allegations that Sarah’s teenage children did things that teenagers do. Allegations of drug experimentation, and “messing around”! Terribly shocking stuff! But I can’t beat Ragnar Danneskjold’s snarky sarcasm in describing it. The Enquirer alleges that Track Palin got himself addicted to pain-killers in high school. There are also allegations of addiction to cocaine and marijuana use. Man, who does this Track kid think he is? George W. ...

She said she’d be posting a clarification on the Google blog. That clarification just went up, here. In the original article, published in the LA Times, Marissa says search is “90 to 95%” solved: Search is an unsolved problem. We have ...
