Paranoia Strikes U.S. Intelligence

The drive to "do something" pushes the NSC and FBI to take extreme responses toCharlie Hebdo.

By PHILIP GIRALDI • February 20, 2015

It was said of the French Revolution that it ended up devouring its own children. Something similar is occurring within the United States national-security establishment, as extreme responses surface in the wake of the Charlie Hebdomassacre in Paris.

 

In the National Security Council (NSC) there has been serious consideration of “temporarily” eliminating visa waivers for select European countries where there are large minority Muslim populations. Currently most Europeans can travel to the United States without first obtaining a visa, leading to concerns that “home grown” European terrorists can easily enter this country, obtain weapons, and stage aCharlie Hebdo in Times Square.

The drive to “do something” is based on the White House assessment that countries like France and Belgium are unable to manage their domestic terrorism problems, potentially permitting them to spill over against targets in the United States. Discussions in the NSC regarding options to limit travel have been strongly opposed by the Department of State, which does not have the resources to begin again issuing large numbers of visas at many of its overseas posts. Foreign governments would also be seriously upset by such a move and would undoubtedly retaliate against traveling Americans.

 

 

I have a solution for that....Prioritize. They spends 100's of millions of dollars promoting Green Energy and making embassies Green, spend that money on overseeing visa applications.
