Connecting the Dots as with any good source of information likes to look back and have a review of the year gone by. There is a blend that makes it one of the most colorful years in a while, but far from the most enjoyable. [Read more →]
When you look at the fallout of the failures that allowed someone to be in a position to commit an act of terrorism, it almost looks comical if viewed from a distance. The reactions have a certain knee jerk flavor to them. But dig a little deeper and you will see other reasons that follow an entirely different script. [Read more →]
