She absolutely must be incarcerated. Our secrecy laws are designed to protect people in harm's way, and she deliberately violated them. She had knowledge of the laws, and took affirmative steps to circumvent them. Hope she likes the color orange.
For months you’ve read about EmailGate in this column. I’ve elaborated how Hillary Clinton, the apparent Democratic frontrunner for President this year, put large amounts of classified information at grave risk through slipshod security practices by herself and her staff. Now that scandal has taken a significant turn for the more ominous.

Saudi Journalst: Corruption, dictators the enemy, not Israel
An article by a Saudi journalist challenging the conventional wisdom in the Arab
world – in particular the view of Israel as the root of the region’s problems –
is enjoying skyrocketing popularity online and sparking debate about the Arab
Spring.
Under the headline “Arab Spring and the Israeli enemy,” the
writer used the occasion of the Yom Kippur War in 1973 to wonder aloud about the
resources spent on war, in particular the War of Independence in 1948 and the
Six Day War in 1967.
“What was the real cost for not recognizing Israel
in 1948 and why didn’t the Arab states spend their assets on education, health
care and the infrastructures instead of wars?” asked Abdulateef al-Mulhim in the
Arab News, a Saudi Arabian newspaper in English whose website “gets hundreds of
thousands of hits every day” from around the world, according to the paper’s
site.
“But, the hardest question that no Arab national wants to hear is
whether Israel is the real enemy of the Arab world and the Arab people,” wrote
al-Mulhim.

Another blow in the Islamists’ war
By Amir Taheri
The attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, is the latest tragic reminder that America is at war.
Christopher Stevens, the US Ambassador to Libya, and the three other American dead are the latest victims of a war that started decades ago.
To those who knew him, Ambassador Stevens was a model of charm, decency and understanding. During Libya’s painful struggle to shake off despotism, he played a crucial role in helping mobilize international opinion in favor of the popular uprising. To many Libyans, he was not only a friend but something of a hero.

Jailed doc who helped nail Bin Laden warns Pakistan sees U.S. as 'worst enemy'
Pakistan – Pakistan’s powerful spy agency regards America as its “worst enemy,” and the government's claims that it is cooperating with the US are a sham to extract billions of dollars in American aid, according to the CIA informant jailed for his role in hunting down Usama bin Laden.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News, Shakil Afridi, the medical doctor who helped pinpoint bin Laden’s Abbottabad compound before last year’s raid by SEAL Team 6, described brutal torture at the hands of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, and said the agency is openly hostile to the U.S.
“They said ‘The Americans are our worst enemies, worse than the Indians,’” Afridi, who spoke from inside Peshawar Central Jail, said as he recalled the brutal interrogation and torture he suffered after he was initially detained.

How Many Millionaires Live in the "Impoverished" Gaza Strip?
The world often thinks of the Gaza Strip, home to 1.4 million
Palestinians, as one of the poorest places on earth, where people live
in misery and squalor.
But according to an investigative report published in the pan-Arab newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat, there are at least 600 millionaires living in the Gaza Strip. The newspaper report also refutes the claim that the Gaza Strip has been facing a humanitarian crisis because of an Israeli blockade.

Dahlan, who founded and headed the Palestinian Authority's Preventive Security Force in the Gaza Strip between 1994 and 2000, also accused Hamas of harboring the terror groups and using their members to kill Fatah activists in the Gaza Strip.

On Thursday (July 5), commentator Mansur Murad was debating the Syrian crisis with MP Mohammed Shawabkeh.

SHOCKER - Egypt's military ruler battles with Mubarak comparison
A striking image hoisted in Cairo's Tahrir Square when protests against military rule erupted showed an aging, male face; one half was Hosni Mubarak's, the other that of the man now in charge of Egypt - Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi.
It sums up a growing sentiment as transition to civilian rule has dragged on: Tantawi, defending the armed forces' vast economic interests after 60 years in power, has betrayed the trust of a nation and is acting in the same way as the former president he served as defense minister for two decades.

Simon Deng Former Sudanese Slave: “Calling Israel a racist state is absolutely absurd and immoral.”
Simon Deng, a former South Sudanese slave taken by a neighbor as a young boy to Islamist Northern Sudan gave this impassioned speech at yesterday’s Durban Watch Conference in New York. He puts the lie to the Zionism is Racism canard of Durban III painting Israel as a pariah state. Rather as he points out it is the Arab Muslim Jihadis who have engaged in racial genocide of millions of Sudanese, whether Muslim or Christian. As he further points out it is Israel that is the ultimate destination of Sudanese refugees, as Egypt has oppressed them. Click here to read full text of Deng's Speech

New 5 Star Hotel opens in Gaza
Thought they were starving?
AL-SOUDANIA, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Gaza Strip’s first five-star hotel gleams with marble floors, five luxury restaurants and a breezy cafe overlooking the territory’s white sandy beaches and sparkling blue Mediterranean Sea. The only thing missing are guests.
Nearly all of the newly opened hotel’s 222 rooms, decked out with ornate metal-worked lamps, flat screen televisions, oversized beds and sea views, sit empty. The tourists whom the developers expected to flood to Gaza when they launched the project 13 years ago are nowhere to be seen. Local residents, most of them living in poverty, can only dream of staying in the gleaming complex.

Turkey's Burak Bekdil: Let's be fair here
Thursday, June 2, 2011
BURAK BEKDİL
Let’s try to rid ourselves from the chains of religious ideology or just ideology and try to be fair. The return to the 1967 borders means a no-loss bet, an oxymoron. It’s tantamount to betting money on a game, losing it and making a scene at the bet shop to take back the money. In warfare terms, this would be similar to Greeks proposing Turkey a return to the pre-1923 borders: They attacked, they lost, and they, unlike the Arabs, have no intention to capture central Anatolia in the 21st century.
Here, the question is simple: Would the United Arabia today agree to return to the 1967 borders if their glorious eight-nation united force had succeeded to annihilate Israel four decades ago? The Arabs should be able to understand that they can always enjoy lunch in Tel Aviv, like Israel’s peaceful Arab citizens do, once they overcome their religious and ideological hatred of the “Jooos” and make peace with them.

East Jerusalem Arabs Prefer to Stay part of Israel
'E. J'lem Arabs would prefer Israel over Palestinian state'
By MELANIE LIDMAN
01/13/2011 06:03
According to recent poll of over 1,000 Arabs residents, only a quarter said would probably move to "Palestine"; 54% said they would stay in Israel.
In the case of a final peace agreement that established a Palestinian state, more Arab residents of east Jerusalem would prefer to be Israeli than Palestinian, according to a study released Wednesday by Pechter Middle East Polls.
The poll surveyed over 1,000 Arab residents of east Jerusalem, focusing on questions about quality of life and personal identity choices in the case of a two-state peace agreement.
According to the poll, if their neighborhood became part of Israel, only a quarter of residents said would probably move to “Palestine,” whereas 54 percent said they would probably want to stay in Israel. If a neighborhood became part of Palestine, 40% said they would probably try to move to Israel, while 37% would probably stay in Palestine.The reasons that many east Jerusalem residents want to stay Israeli are economic: access to better jobs, smaller classes for their children, and better healthcare, according to the poll.

UNRWA Official Calls on Palestinians to Accept Reality
Here's a man-bites-dog story: The director of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency's New York Representative Office (the primary United Nations organization responsible for advocating on behalf of the Palestinian Arabs), Andrew Whitley, told a conference in Washington that Palestinians should accept that they will never return to Israel and, rather than continue to dream of this, they should work to improve their current circumstances.
"If one doesn't start a discussion soon with the refugees for them to consider what their own future might be—for them to start debating their own role in the societies where they are rather than being left in a state of limbo where they are helpless but preserve rather the cruel illusions that perhaps they will return one day to their homes—then we are storing up trouble for ourselves. …
We recognize, as I think most do, although it's not a position that we publicly articulate, that the right of return is unlikely to be exercised to the territory of Israel to any significant or meaningful extent. It's not a politically palatable issue, it's not one that UNRWA publicly advocates, but nevertheless it's a known contour to the issue."
Whitley concluded these startling remarks by suggesting that UNRWA should resettle its clients rather than continue to perpetuate their refugee status.
