| Sen. Grassley Investigating Alleged DHS Terrorist Lookout Record Deletions |
| 2014-05-18 |
| [Breitbart] Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) is investigating allegations the Department of Homeland Security has deleted records related to a list of terrorists the agency maintains as part of a "hands off" policy on some of the individuals on the list. Grassley released emails last week describing the alleged terrorist "hands off" list at DHS which apparently resulted in the deletion of records of an individual who was allegedly a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and a "close associate" of a supporter of "Hamas, Hizbollah, and (Palestinian) Islamic Jihad." |

| #4 Under the TSA Act, one of TSA's (and hence DHS') most significant duties was "to enter into memoranda of understanding with Federal agencies or other entities to share or otherwise cross-check as necessary data on individuals identified on Federal agency databases who may pose a risk to transportation or national security." I would be made as h*ll if DHS was letting people who pose a risk fly on an airplane with me or my family. |

| #3 Our greatest enemies are not the jihadists, nor islamic terrorists, but rather our own so called leaders. |

| #2 Why should this be a surprise and/or a scandal? Support for the Muslim Brotherhood is Western consensus policy. "close associate" of a supporter of "Hamas, Hizbollah, and (Palestinian) Islamic Jihad." Just like the Governor of New Jersey... |

| #1 Senator Grassley might be surprised to learn that "hands off" lists [or Afghan "do not detain - do not capture" annotations] are a bit more pervasive than he might think. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it turns to absolute kak and innocent people sadly become dead. I might offer Dr. Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi of the infamous FOB Chapman cock-up, Nidal Hasan, and the Tsarnaev brothers as possible examples. Politically driven wars within wars, I hate them. |
