Last year, the FBI arrested two imams in Albany, N.Y., in connection with a sting operation involving laundered funds that the defendants were led to believe were proceeds from the sale of a missile launcher to be used in a New York City terrorist plot.

When the NE Intelligence Network broke their story of three Middle Eastern men seen with what appeared to be a rocker launcher near Tinker AFB in Oklahoma City, OK, nobody had any idea that this article would cause such strong but carefully worded denials by government officials, and cause the major media – even the Internet news media – to accept the official denials at their face and declare the whole story as a “hoax.”

But much to my absolute appreciation, relief and amazement; journalistic integrity DOES exist. Michelle Malkin, a syndicated columnist and the author of Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals, and Other Foreign Menaces to Our Shores performed her own investigation and wrote the following (excerpted):

”Be on the lookout for Middle Easterners carrying rocket launchers.”

”Yup, that’s right. Many readers have e-mailed me about a recent report floating on the Internet that reveals military concerns about a suspicious trio of Middle Eastern men who apparently pointed a rocket launcher at low-flying aircraft near Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma earlier this month. It’s authentic.”

”Tinker AFB staff and FBI officials remain tight-lipped about the incident. But Capt. Sean Carter, a public affairs officer at Hill AFB, verified the directive for me.”

The threat to commercial aviation in this country continues. Except for Michelle Malkin and other journalists with the same inclination for ferreting out the truth, the threat to journalistic integrity continues as well, as does the problem with dissemination of the truth to the American people. The United States continues to have a serious problem with Islamic terrorists STILL, four years after 9/11 and 3,000+ American dead later. Political correctness is a contributing factor to our war on terrorism as pointed out by Ms. Malkin herself: “This week, New Jersey Transit officials joined the New York Police Department in performing hapless random searches of Granny’s knitting bag and Junior’s Thomas the Tank backpack to prevent the next al Qaeda attack.”

Unfortunately, the Islamic terrorists are using and exploiting our own laws against us, laughing as they continue to board our airplanes, while they infiltrate our infrastructure, and tell us how improper it is to engage in “racial profiling.” At some point, someone’s gotta say “enough is enough,” don’t deny the undeniable, and tell the American people the truth.

Some say Britain waited far too long to do something about the clerics preaching jihad from their mosques there. And just look at the result (the London bombings and the subsequent failed attack). Now they’re playing “catch up” while their citizens contemplate the next one. It’s not a stretch to think that if this continues, we’ll be in the same boat.
