Ayman al-Zawahri behind lastest terror threat?

It's a shame we have never got this guy in a drone's sight...

Via Daily Mail:

The global terror alert that brought the closure of 19 U.S. embassies across the Muslim world was the result of a secret message the head of al Qaeda in Pakistan sent to his counterpart in Yemen ordering him to launch a strike, two security officials revealed today.
A U.S. intelligence official and a Mideast diplomat said electronic communications were picked up several weeks ago between Ayman al-Zawahri – the head of the global terror network who succeeded Osama bin Laden – and Nasser al-Wuhayshi, head of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
Officials had previously called the communication ‘strategically significant’ and likened the intelligence ‘chatter’ to that intercepted in the days leading up to 9/11.
‘This was significant because it was the big guys talking, and talking about very specific timing for an attack or attacks,’ one American official briefed on the intelligence reports told the New York Times.
The news comes as the State Department extended the closure of 19 embassies and consulates across North Africa and the Middle East for the rest of the week amid fears of a ‘big’ and ‘strategically significant’ terrorist attack.
The two officials said the target has not been revealed but was significant in that it is extremely rare for senior al Qaeda leaders in Pakistan to discuss operational matters with the group’s affiliates.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the sensitive issue publicly.

Amazon.com founder buys Washington Post...

I foresee a $250 million loss in Jeffrey P. Bezos' future.

Via The Washington Post:

The Washington Post Co. has agreed to sell its flagship newspaper to Amazon.com founder and chief executive Jeffrey P. Bezos, ending the Graham family’s stewardship of one of America’s leading news organizations after four generations.
Bezos, whose entrepreneurship has made him one of the world’s richest men, will pay $250 million in cash for The Post and affiliated publications to the Washington Post Co., which owns the newspaper and other businesses.
Seattle-based Amazon will have no role in the purchase; Bezos himself will buy the news organization and become its sole owner when the sale is completed, probably within 60 days. The Post Co. will change to a new, still-undecided name and continue as a publicly traded company without The Post thereafter.

Liberal Matt Damon refuses to enroll children in liberal Los Angeles schools because they aren't “progressive” enough..

If the school uniforms were Mao suits would that meet Damon's "progressive" expectation?

Via Breitbart:

In an interview with the Guardian published Saturday, Damon revealed that he had just moved to Los Angeles from New York, but that he didn’t “have a choice” when it came to putting his four daughters into private schools. The multi-millionaire did say that it was “a major moral dilemma” and then made the bizarre excuse that the public schools aren’t “progressive” enough.
This would probably mark the first time anyone has ever complained that America’s public schools, especially in Los Angeles, aren’t left-wing enough.
The Guardian interview is part of the 42-year-old actor’s promotional tour for his upcoming sci-fi tentpole “Elysium,” which opens Friday.

Heritage Foundation Infographic: Detroit v. United States

Heritage org via Twitter:

The city of Detroit filed for bankruptcy in large part due to the city’s huge unfunded obligations, which totaled $26,655 per capita. That amount, however, is only one-eighth the size of the burden currently facing all Americans. The federal government’s $69 trillion in debt and unfunded obligations works out to $218,169 per capita.

Scary Report: DEA is using NSA spying database?

If this report is true, it is clearly a constitutional violation.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A secretive U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration unit is funneling information from intelligence intercepts, wiretaps, informants and a massive database of telephone records to authorities across the nation to help them launch criminal investigations of Americans.
Although these cases rarely involve national security issues, documents reviewed by Reuters show that law enforcement agents have been directed to conceal how such investigations truly begin - not only from defense lawyers but also sometimes from prosecutors and judges.
The undated documents show that federal agents are trained to "recreate" the investigative trail to effectively cover up where the information originated, a practice that some experts say violates a defendant's Constitutional right to a fair trial. If defendants don't know how an investigation began, they cannot know to ask to review potential sources of exculpatory evidence - information that could reveal entrapment, mistakes or biased witnesses.
"I have never heard of anything like this at all," said Nancy Gertner, a Harvard Law School professor who served as a federal judge from 1994 to 2011. Gertner and other legal experts said the program sounds more troubling than recent disclosures that the National Security Agency has been collecting domestic phone records. The NSA effort is geared toward stopping terrorists; the DEA program targets common criminals, primarily drug dealers.

"It is one thing to create special rules for national security," Gertner said. "Ordinary crime is entirely different. It sounds like they are phonying up investigations."
