ANOTHER TERRORIST ATTACK FOILED: “Azerbaijan detained a group of militant Islamists preparing an armed attack near the U.S. embassy in Baku, the security ministry of the former Soviet state said on Monday.”

Michael Silence thinks this is good news in the larger war on terror: “Is it not telling that the terrorists can’t even pull one off in Azerbaijan? I mean, for heaven’s sake, one of its neighbors is Iran.” We have seen a lot of foiled attacks lately. It’s as if someone’s selling them out.
