WASHINGTON — The U.S. was slow to take seriously the threat posed by homegrown radicals and the government has failed to put systems in place to deal with the growing phenomenon, according to a new report compiled by the former heads of the Sept. 11 Commission.

The report says U.S. authorities failed to realize that Somali-American youths traveling from Minnesota to Mogadishu in 2008 to join extremists was not an isolated issue. Instead, the movement was one among several instances of a broader, more diverse threat that has surfaced across the country.

The Obama administration has changed the nation’s immigration enforcement strategy in ways that will reduce the threat of deportation for millions of undocumented immigrants and will likely blunt the impact of any state laws designed to deport vast numbers of people.

The changes are the little-discussed byproducts of the administration’s well-publicized decision to focus its deportation efforts on immigrants who have committed serious crimes.

To remove the “worst of the worst,” the administration reasons, it can’t allow the nation’s immigration courts and detention centers to remain clogged with generally law-abiding immigrants who have lived in the country for a long time and probably would be legalized under comprehensive immigration reform legislation.

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says drug cartels in Mexico and Central America are looking more like insurgencies, and the threat they pose is growing.

In remarks at the Council on Foreign Relations on Wednesday, Clinton said the situation resembles the one in Colombia 20 years ago, where narco-trafficers controlled sections of the country.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) spoke with Fox News’s Sean Hannity last night and expressed her belief that the Obama Administration was targeting the state of Arizona with superfluous and unwarranted lawsuits as an alternative to securing the state’s border with Mexico.

“The bottom line is that we’re all believing that the federal government is after Arizona and they are going after everybody,” Brewer, introduced by Hannity as “the woman who refuses to back down,” told the Fox News host.

The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Arizona’s controversial immigration enforcement bill, SB 1070, back in July, claiming that the harsh legislation would create “a patchwork of state and local immigration policies throughout the country.” In September, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was also sued by the DOJ after refusing to cooperate with the Department’s probe of the lawman’s supposed discrimination against Hispanics.

Miss Australia Jesinta Campbell claims that she was backstabbed at the Miss Universe competition, with another contestant lining her national dress with pins, the Herald Sun reports. The frock in question–made from a bathing suit and a flamenco dress, worn with high-heeled Uggs and meant to represent her country–was widely mocked before the pageant and Campbell found that the night of, after she put it on, “I felt these sharp pains when something stuck into my back. I took the top off and found all these pins had been stuck into it.”

She said she didn’t have any serious injuries and that although the “sabotage was a bit harsh,” “you have to laugh at these things and not take it too seriously and it did give me a story to tell when I got home.” Campbell isn’t sure who was responsible for the misdeed, but remarked that the contestants from Mexico, Central and South American countries and the Philippines were notably aggressive. In another Herald Sun article, Campbell said, “Winning is so important for those girls because they become queens and are worshipped if they win, and it changes everything forever for them.” Miss Mexico ended up winning the crown and Miss Philippines was said to have blown it during the Q&A portion of the program. Campbell came in second. She said she knows who didn’t do it–the lovely ladies of Ireland, Belgium, Britain and Guam, who she all cited as her best friends.

Campbell told news.com.au that she’s doesn’t want to enter another beauty pageant and she’d like to pursue charity work. She recently scored a gig as an entertainment reporter for Australia Channel 7’s “The Morning Show.”

In 1915, a statistician at the University of Wisconsin named Willford I. King published The Wealth and Income of the People of the United States, the most comprehensive study of its kind to date. The United States was displacing Great Britain as the world’s wealthiest nation, but detailed information about its economy was not yet readily available; the federal government wouldn’t start collecting such data in any systematic way until the 1930s. One of King’s purposes was to reassure the public that all Americans were sharing in the country’s newfound wealth.

For all their promises of a clean, green future, Italy’s windfarms have now acquired a somewhat dirtier whiff – as the latest industry to be infiltrated by the country’s mobsters.

Attracted by the prospect of generous grants designed to boost the use of alternative energies, the so-called “eco Mafia” has begun fraudulently creaming off millions of euros from both the Italian government and the European Union.

VIENNA — The U.N. atomic agency expressed alarm Monday about Iran’s decision to bar some of its inspectors, suggesting that its efforts to monitor the country’s nuclear program were suffering as a result.

The unusually blunt International Atomic Energy Agency warning was voiced in a restricted report on Iran made available to The Associated Press that otherwise contained few surprises. It followed Iran’s recent decision to strip two experienced inspectors of the right to monitor its nuclear activities after the two reported what they said were undeclared nuclear experiments.
