How to win this war
We are approaching the current terrorist problem like ostriches with their heads in the sand. Only a madman or someone with a death wish would invite people who are sworn to kill him and his family into his home. Sept. 11 was the start of World War III, and Western civilization is at war for its own survival against radical fundamentalist Islam. The following immediate actions are necessary:
(1) The INS should locate and deport all illegal aliens, with a priority toward Middle Eastern Muslims, including all those whose visas have expired or who have violated the limits of their visas.
(2) The INS should implement a centralized system for tracking all foreigners in this country. They should be required to periodically register, as was the case years ago. All hotels, motels and other resorts should have to collect passports and visas and report foreigners to the INS. The technical capability exists; all we lack is the will.
(3) Those who apply for visas to this country must pass in-depth background checks. If background information is either unavailable or reveals problems, no visa should be issued. (4) Borders must be secured to prevent illegal entry. (5) Immigration quotas should be reviewed and severely curtailed. Thomas Turner, Bellevue His source was suspect
With reference to Bruce Malina's question (Oct. 27 Pulse) as to why Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's statement to Foreign Minister Shimon Peres wasn't reported in the U.S. media: The answer is that it is difficult to believe that any Israeli leader could be so stupid as to say, "We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."
Mr. Malina uses a very suspect source, the Washington Report of Oct. 3. The Washington Report is a monthly magazine influenced by Andy Kilgore, who had been U.S. ambassador to several Arab countries. This magazine provides the most obsessive pro-Arab and anti-Israeli reading in the United States. An example of its bias is an article in its April-May 1992 issue that suggests that John F. Kennedy was assassinated by the Mossad so that Lyndon Johnson, who was considered to be pro-Israel, could become president.
It seems that Mr. Malina has a visceral hatred for Israel. But to pretend that his source is truthful and unbiased is on a par with the National Enquirer discussing Hillary Clinton's affair with space aliens. Max I. Bittner, Omaha

Ну и дальше там это в Омахе некоторое время обсасывалось в этой же рубрике и утихло. Прочие публикации -- тоже в местных газетах и тоже со слов читателей. Смахивает на "активную акцию", но как-то масшатб хиловат...
Хотя израильская пресса может в Лексис и не попадать... Так что за 100% точность не ручаюсь
