Liberal media poster boy for unfair 'no fly' list gets arrested for being ISIS cell member...

Color me shocked...

Via PJ Media:
A man, who just two years ago was the poster boy for the far-Left media’s attacks against the U.S. government’s no-fly list for “unfairly” targeting Muslims, finds himself and several family members sitting in a Turkish prison — arrested earlier this month near the Turkey-Syria border as members of an ISIS cell.
It’s a long way from 2013 when Saadiq Long’s cause was being championed by MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, Glenn Greenwald, and Mother Jones, and was being represented by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) terror front.
His story got considerable media attention when his CAIR media representatives here pushed the story that Long wanted to return to his native Oklahoma from his current home in Qatar to visit his ailing mother but couldn’t because he was on the TSA’s no-fly list. They said his case represented institutional “Islamophobia.”

Too Little Too Late: UN Approves Libya No Fly Zone


The rebels are already mostly defeated. The UN is a completely ineffective international body.
UNITED NATIONS, March 17 (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council voted on Thursday to authorize a no-fly zone over Libya and "all necessary measures" -- code for military action -- to protect civilians against leader Muammar Gaddafi's forces.

Genius: UK Immigration Officer Puts Wife on Terror Watch List So She Can't Fly Home


This was a brilliant plan to get rid of an unwanted wife. It was foiled when the man got a promotion and it was discovered during the vetting process.
(MailOnline)- An immigration officer tried to rid himself of his wife by adding her name to a list of terrorist suspects.

He used his access to security databases to include his wife on a watch list of people banned from boarding flights into Britain because their presence in the country is 'not conducive to the public good'.

As a result the woman was unable for three years to return from Pakistan after travelling to the county to visit family.

The tampering went undetected until the immigration officer was selected for promotion and his wife name was found on the suspects' list during a vetting inquiry.

The Home Office confirmed today that the officer has been sacked for gross misconduct.
If my wife is reading this, she shouldn't worry. Homeland Security turned down my job application. J/K

Shameful: No Fly List Has Only 4000 Names


Most people believe Al Qaeda has thousands of members. The US has a terrorist watch list of 550,000 people. Why is the no fly list only 4000? Why hasn't President Obama added the other 500,000 people with suspected terrorist ties to the list?

The NYT reported:
The embassy sent a cable to Washington that resulted in Mr. Abdulmutallab’s name being entered in a broad database of 550,000 people with possible ties to terrorism. But he was not put on the much smaller no-fly list of 4,000 people, or a list of 14,000 people who require additional screening before flying, nor was his multiple-entry visa to the United States revoked.

Why Wasn't Airline bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on "No Fly list"


Senator Ted Kennedy is the most famous false positive on the "No Fly List." It took Kennedy three weeks to get his name removed. Americans have to wonder why Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab wasn't on the list. He was on a US watch list for people with extremist links and had been barred from entering Great Britain for a year.

The Times reported:
THE son of a prominent Nigerian banker, who allegedly attempted to blow up a transatlantic flight over America, was barred from returning to Britain earlier this year.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, graduated from a university in London last year but his visa request was refused in May when he attempted to apply for a new course at a bogus college.



Has the Obama Administration changed the rules for putting people on the "No Fly List?" Americans deserve an answer to this question.
