Reading Fox's story on the crackdown in Stillmore, GA--complete with a gratuitous comparison of the INS to the Gestapo--I can't help think that Crider must have left someone important off their corporate PAC contributions list.
Not that Crider hadn't worked hard to make sure it covered the waterfront.

If it's gotten to the point that an INS bust can depopulate an entire town, then it's safe to conclude that these enforcement actions are about 10 years behind the curve. How many other towns could be raided with similar results?

Did Crider Omit la Mordida?
U.S. Navy Exonerates Islam
Someone at Armed Forces Information Services decided there was some positive purpose served by printing the inanities of the Navy's 2nd Muslim chaplain about the relationship between Islam and bin Laden for publication:
"People shouldn’t associate the worship of Islam with the so-called religious theology espoused by terrorists like Osama bin Laden, Saifulislam said. “Terrorism has no religion, and no religion condones terrorism,” he said. “These terrorists just happen to be Muslims.”
Why was this article written? Because the Navy believes that bin Laden "just happen[s] to be Muslim? Because the Navy wants some part of its audience to believe it believes this--if so which part: the sailors and marines who actually read its releases, or the anonymous Muslim who will thus be reassured that whatever he believes about jihad is just fine and dandy with the Navy if he chooses to join?
As incoherent as Saifulislam's line of reasoning on this issue is, at least he has one which seems to be more than we can say for the U.S. Navy.
Don't Mention the Jihad
"The derogatory remarks of the Pope about the philosophy of jihad and Prophet Mohammed have injured sentiments across the Muslim world and pose the danger of spreading acrimony among the religions..."
Pakistani National Assembly Resolution Condemning Benedict XVI's 12 September speech on faith and reason
Erm, I'd say the threat of acrimony lies a good deal closer to home.
This to me sounds the same as "don't mention my husband's temper or it will be your fault if he gets angry and beats someone up."
NATO 1949-2006 RIP
I guess it was a good run, although Russian manoeuvring to buy into EADS makes me think that we may have saved the European village in order to burn it.

Malegaon Suspicion Turns Towards Hindu Extremists
It looks like the obvious explanation is the most likely. Focus of investigation sharpening around the Bajrang Dal.
The internecine theory remains on the table, but there are plenty of Hindu suspects to run down as well.
