Egypt warned Israel.
Egypt said as much a few days ago but now the chairman of the house foreign relations committee is saying it too.

Difficult to interpret. How often does Israel receive such warnings, what was the specific warning, etc.

"Bin Laden determined to strike US."
Pretty ambiguous, and certainly not actionable.

Lots of stuff on “x” (formerly known as Twitter) but this guy gave me a smile
Shared with my son. Not that he’s said anything about the Israel and the Middle East, but he’s in college and probably being flooded with wrong impressions.

David Frum:
It's not a very good plan, is it:
"Step 1: murder and torture hundreds of people, rape women, decapitate babies, abduct children."
"Step 2: beg the survivors of the murdered, tortured, raped, and abducted people to supply electricity, food, and water."

Goes in line with Andrea Mitchell's amazing interview.

From the neocon who ballyhooed the invasion of Iraq. He may be right, but I don't pay much attention to Frum anymore...

It would be simplifying to assume the agents who did step 1 are the same agents doing step 2.

Sums it up quite nicely.
I rather like Frum and his brand of conservatism. Need more of it.
