Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio: report of a $1 million bounty on his head
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 2/Aug/2010 20:06
“PHOENIX — A sheriff in Arizona known for his anti-immigration policies says his office is investigating a report of a $1 million bounty on his head.
A spokeswoman for Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says the report was relayed by the FBI and by a caller who told Fox affiliate KSAZ-TV in Phoenix that the threat was from a Mexican drug cartel. Phoenix is the seat of Maricopa County.
Lisa Allen says it wasn’t known whether the threat actually came from a drug cartel but authorities believe it was made using a disposable cell phone in Mexico.
Arpaio says it’s not unusual for him to receive death threats as sheriff and an outspoken advocate of immigration enforcement.”

US to end its combat mission in Iraq by the end of this month?
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 2/Aug/2010 19:33
“…the United States is on track to end its combat mission in Iraq by the end of this month, transitioning from a military to a civilian-led effort.
Though Iraq is now grappling with political uncertainty five months after a parliamentary election, and with bomb attacks in Baghdad and other cities, the president and others in his administration are highlighting the coming formal end of the U.S. combat mission.
The president said 90,000 troops will have come home from Iraq by the end of August. He noted the United States is in the process of moving millions of pieces of equipment from Iraq, and continues to close or turn over military bases to Iraqi government troops.”
Going around lawmakers to let illegal immigrants stay?
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 2/Aug/2010 19:27
“WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is considering ways it could go around lawmakers to let illegal immigrants stay in the United States, according to an agency memo.
The internal draft written by officials at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services outlines ways the government could provide “relief” to illegal immigrants – including delaying deportation for some, perhaps indefinitely, or granting green cards to others – in the absence of legislation revamping the system.
It’s emerging as chances fade in this election year for a measure President Barack Obama favors to put the nation’s estimated 12 million illegal immigrants on a path to legal status, and as debate rages over an Arizona law targeting people suspected of being in the country illegally.”

Iran Flag
“A Pentagon report to Congress about Iran’s current and future military strategy noted the activities of an elite unit, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps – Qod Force.
The Qod Force’s role is to “clandestinely exert military, political and economic power to advance Iranian national interests abroad.†Those activities range from gathering intelligence to supplying training, arms and financial support to surrogate groups and terrorist organizations, according to the 12-page unclassified version of the report. Those groups include Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine.
The Qods Force is well-established in the Middle East and North Africa “and recent years have witnessed an increased presence in Latin America, particularly Venezuela,†the Pentagon report said, noting that if the U.S. gets more involved in local conflicts in those regions, contact with the Qods Force “directly, or through extremist groups it supports, will be more frequent and consequential.â€
