Omar launches bid to protect world’s terrorists from ‘tyrannical regimes’

American Thinker:

Is there nothing Rep. Ilhan Omar won’t do to make terrorists’ lives easier?  This latest scheme she’s up to, according to CNS, is a doozy:

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and ten other House Democrats have written to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, requesting information about how information from the FBI-administered terrorist watchlist is shared with foreign governments — including governments with poor human rights records.

In doing so, she pointed to the support of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a sometimes controversial group that has mounted legal challenges against the watchlist, formally known as the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB).

In a release Friday about the letter to Pompeo, Omar quoted CAIR national Executive Director Nihad Awad, who said the TSDB was “dangerous enough” in itself, but even more so when shared with “tyrannical regimes.”

Now, bear in mind that many of the world’s most tyrannical places — think of places such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines — have been made that way by repeated terrorist attacks.  Lawlessness and terrorist thuggery can often turn what were rising democracies into hunkered down military regimes.

So what we are seeing here is a bid from her to game the system — to use the inevitable human rights violations that occur as states try to avoid disintegration — as leverage to keep them in the dark about the actual terrorists plotting against them.  Advantage: terrorists, who are no doubt celebrating having such a lobbyist working for them on the Hill.  Human rights are great for terrorists — and never mind about the victims of terrorists.

Left unsaid most of all is that the U.S. isn’t giving innocent people’s names to these regimes, let alone the names of actual Americans — it’s giving committed global foreign terrorists’ names in what may be an imperfect but necessary bid to enable these places to fight the terrorists trying to kill them.

Omar wants these foreigners protected.

  1. When is the AG (assuming Immigration is sitting on it’s ass) going to start an investigation about Omar and the possible immigration fraud she committed? This isn’t a cheesy election finance misuse of funds, this is a damaging and possibly terror related action against the US.

  2. What’s wrong with secret lists?

    Look! You silly rag head. Secret lists. Double secret disappearances. State secrets. Subject to change without notice. Is the very definition (the definition — look it up) of a “republic”! Of “self-governance” (again — look it up).

    If you want “the people’s business”, being “done under the people’s watch”, “for the people’s benefit” — just, move! America! Love it or leave it! Freedumb!!

  3. Pelosi put her one one of the foreign intelligence committees.

    Where are those brave intelligence officers creating separate files to keep her from seeing our secrets like they did to Trump in 2016.
