Now this is truly bizarre. He may have lobbed some artillery shells at South Korea killing people, and rattled on about his nuclear weapons, but Kim Jong Il is still a man with artistic talents. Or so the official North

Libya’s dictator Muammar Gaddafi has essentially issued blackmail demands to Europe. If “Christian, white” countries don’t give him more than $5 billion, Europe is going to turn “black” (his words) with Muslim immigrants. Britain’s The Telegraph has the complete story.

The Guardian caption to this Reuters photo says it all: “The WikiLeaks cables suggest Pakistan follows a covert military strategy at odds with US goals.” Kill the messenger? —- I’m hearing a lot about “blood on the hands” of WikiLeaks’

I am not a Hillary Clinton fan. But with the WikiLeaks document dump, I might become one. Julian Assange, the criminal founder of WikiLeaks, wants her scalp. He told Time magazine, “But she should resign if it can be shown

On today’s show Frank is joined for three segments by the director of the Middle East Studies Program at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Fouad Ajami. They discuss the roles of Iran and Saudi

The latest Wikileaks dump – it’s a wonderful way to highlight some, um, issues with cyber-security, and allows the chattering classes to bloviate ponderously on topics they really don’t know that much about. I, for one, am not stunned by

On Sunday afternoon, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arranged for the release of some 250,000 classified State Department documents via newspapers including the treason-supporting New York Times. The revelations were stunning. The most stunning divulgences: the Saudi royal government asked the

The Center for Security Policy today launched an innovative and interactive Youtube feature exposing the danger that Obama’s New Start Treaty will disarm America in a threatening world of many emerging nuclear powers. Disarmed & Dangerous: Stop the New START

Marc Thiessen argues in his Washington Post column today that the Obama administration has done nothing to stop WikiLeaks, even though Julian Assange and his cohorts are “in likely violation of the Espionage and arguably providing material support for terrorism.”

Wikileaks finally dropped the motherlode. What next? Judgment. What effect? Whose error? We should quickly dispense with the criminal charges against Pfc. Bradley Manning, assigning proper sentence for his serious violations. And anyone else subject to United States jurisdiction and

In the midst of WWII and the struggle against the Nazis, Winston Churchill made one of his most famous pronouncements: “You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: victory; victory at all costs, victory in spite

For years now, conventional wisdom has been that when Iran gains access to nuclear weapons, Israel will be in the gravest danger. With the latest Wikileaks document dump, that conventional wisdom may prove as useful as conventional weapons in a

Leaked documents from America’s leftist enemies generally seek to undercut America’s military power. In some respects the new material dumped across the internet and news outlets of America did that. This sad and treasonous behavior will no doubt make it

Britain’s Telegraph is reporting that an Iranian nuclear scientist involved in his country’s nuclear program is dead and another, who is a specialist involved in preparing nuclear isotopes, has been injured, by what are being called “magnet-bombs” stuck to the

Lee Smith has a fascinating article over at Tablet. His conclusion: WikiLeaks must be in cahoots with Cheney and Netanyahu because the revelations are a vindication of what the neoconservatives have been saying all along. An excerpt: “Wikileaks founder Julian

“A free, fair, and objective discussion amongst members of the United States government will be precluded from taking place as a result of Wikileaks information warfare against the United States. This does not increase government transparency, but debilitates it because

Just scanned the early stories on the Wikileaks document dump — which are themselves scans of the Wikileaks document dump, given that a colossal 251,287 State Department cables have been released in this Internet/media robbery/fencing information-operation. How to assess this

I know more than your average knuckle dragger about cybersecurity and the technical issues around the WikiLeaks debacle. Full disclosure, I work with a software company that has engineered and is currently building a secure collaboration product that could significantly

The growing recognition by the public that sharia is the underlying threat doctrine driving the global jihad and the war against the West gave voice in the last mid-term election in Oklahoma. An amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution, known as
