S. military and intelligence agencies would lose vital air, land and sea assets if Egypt falls into the hands of radical Islamists, as Iran did in 1979, foreign policy analysts say. The U.S. armed forces are entwined with Egypt's military more than with any other Arab country's. But if Islamists seize Cairo, as the mullahs captured Tehran, this complex relationship unravels.
NEW YORK, Jan. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A prominent national human rights and advocacy organization is again asking the Defense Department to resist efforts by the Hamas-linked Islamic supremacist hate group the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to dictate the nature and content of anti-terror training for military personnel. That renewed request by Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) comes after Hamas-linked CAIR, one of the nation's most notorious Islamic supremacist hate groups, demanded that the Defense Department not invite the noted Islam scholar Robert Spencer to offer training to military intelligence personnel. SIOA respectfully requests that the Defense Department repudiate this attempt by Hamas-linked CAIR to hinder national security by interfering with ...

LEVIN: It's a long report, and I haven't read it. But in terms of the briefing, a number of points struck me. One is, in terms of the role of military intelligence, which is the key question that we were looking at, there actually were more military intelligence people involved in the incidents that they've identified of abuse than there were M.P.s involved in those incidents.
We have just celebrated, on August 17, the 117th birthday of Marcus Garvey, a staunch advocate of the "Back to Africa" movement not only physically, but also mentally, culturally, spiritually and economically. Within three years of Garvey's arrival in the United States, J. Edgar Hoover was appointed to head the newly established General Intelligence Division to investigate and prosecute "troublemakers" like Garvey. Because of Garvey's love for and allegiance to Africans worldwide, he was a target of the political establishment and its Black lackeys. His self-love, and not self-hatred, was a threat to white supremacy. Interestingly, Garvey produced Black dolls for Black children, and the doll test would be embraced by the U.S. Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education to weaken "separ...
Syria is reorganizing its foreign intelligence operations and sidelining officials with unsavory pasts in an effort by President Bashar al-Assad to consolidate control and improve Syria's relations with the United States, Middle East specialists and former and current U.S. officials say. Richard Norton, a Levant specialist at Boston University, former CIA counterterrorism chief Vincent Cannistraro and two serving U.S. intelligence officials who asked not to be named because they are not authorized to talk to the press told The Washington Times that the task of overseeing Syria's foreign intelligence operations has been transferred from the heavy-handed military intelligence agency, known as the Mukhabarat, to Syria's General Intelligence Agency (GI), which formerly handled domestic matt...
[Paul Newhouse]: I'm sure that it does, but I'm not sure anyone's ever made a study of that. We tend to think of World War II as the "good war," but there was just as much ambivalence about what we were doing. It's not like the movies... I've talked to guys who fought on these Pacific atolls and thought they were in hell -- knew they were in hell -- and thought that the rest of the country didn't give a damn about them. I think that's a characteristic of all wars. PN: That's bullshit. I'm sorry. That's bullshit. Yeah, the Germans said that too, as we all know, and that's no excuse. The military doesn't buy that excuse. You're not allowed to follow an illegal order. People who were with Lieutenant Calley [at My Lai] said the same thing... I feel very badly for these kids who are accused,...
Regarding the subject of John Lockwood's article ("Sturges Rifles guard McClellan," Plugged in, Thursday), the Sturges Rifles, a group of more than 100 men who served as Gen. George McClellan's personal guards, included a soldier by the name of John Babcock. Babcock holds the distinction of being one of the first, if not the first, American civilian who served as a military intelligence analyst. Babcock, who worked as an architect in Chicago, joined the Rifles at the beginning of the Civil War. His talent for drawing led to a job as a mapmaker with McClellan's intelligence chief Allan Pinkerton. When President Abraham Lincoln relieved McClellan as army commander in 1862, the general ordered his personal guards to be mustered out, making Babcock a civilian once again. The army kept him o...
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - A scene of stomach-clenching gore confronted the special operations troops: the shredded remains of a suicide bomber, scattered around the checkpoint. But the blood and body are fake, like the Hollywood-style explosion that began a classroom exercise designed to teach these students to look past the grisly mess for the evidence that could lead to those who built the bomb.
