| French cannot protect Hirsi Ali in US |
| 2008-02-21 |
| Former Dutch MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali would not be entitled to French state protection in the US even if she was to become a French citizen, reports ANP news service, quoting the French foreign affairs ministry. The French government can only pay for security to citizens on home soil and to diplomats abroad, the foreign ministry is reported as saying in a statement on Wednesday. Diplomatic sources have confirmed that the French have made the situation clear to the Dutch government on an informal basis, says ANP. |

| #2 I like the general plan, but you can do this without involving Hirsi at all, just say she's using said house as a base between appearances, they'll try to set a trap for when she returns, GOTCHA. |

| #1 She would be worth her weight in gold to the US if she would come here to be used as a honey trap. We could use her name to catch any number of terrorists in the US. First we would put her in the regular federal WPP, so she would be out of harm's way. Then the feds could set up *several* traps in the US, to catch Muslim men intending to kill her. Then let the word slip out of where she *might* be. Each trap would be an isolated house in a rural area, where you would have to select the exact route six or seven times, or you would go somewhere else. This clearly establishes the *intent* to try to get to her. Next, the rural house is located in overlapping "no weapons" special zones. This means that even possession of a weapon is a serious federal offense there. About the only building anywhere near the house is a gas station run by a federal agent. The gas station would surreptitiously have a weight scale, to tell if the car is possibly a car bomb, cameras to examine its undercarriage, and explosive sniffing sensors. Hell, they might even set up a giant concealed fluoroscope to scan the car unawares. Once they arrive near the house, they are under intense camera surveillance. But everything is set up so that they have the opportunity to break a multitude of federal laws. Put up houses like that on the East coast, near Detroit, in Texas, probably two or three in California, etc. To make things extra sweet, they might even say that Salman Rushdie is also there, and the two are shacking up. |
