News Melange: ICE, Fidel, Rodney King

From the Good News/Bad News Department: The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, affectionately known as ICE, announced that as of September 5, 2010 it had apprehended 506,232 illegal aliens over the course of about 10 months. That’s about 50,623 bad guys and gals per month nabbed by the agency, which is pretty outstanding enforcement.

That’s the good news.

The bad news about ICE, which could also be termed the TBA, for Teats on a Bull Agency, is that they also announced they had released 506,232 illegal aliens who are now no longer considered illegal aliens but rather fugitive aliens.

ICE/TBA takes a curious approach to law enforcement and fulfilling its mission; its approach is founded on placing trust in its apprehendees.

In effect, our federal agents say to the criminal, illegal aliens, “Now, you be good, okay? Just show up on the appointed day so we can have a hearing and deport you. Got that?” The illegals gladly say, “Si, senor!” and are never seen or heard from again,. . .

Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest

. . . Dumbest: We all bite off more than we can chew once in a while but Somali pirates bit one huge mouthful when they decided to hijack and hold for ransom an American guided missile frigate, the USS Nicholas.

In the understatement of the month, British piracy expert Roger Middleton commented, “They might not always make rational decisions, and they often attack things that are bigger than they should . . . It’s also quite possible that they don’t have a full understanding of the targets they are attacking. Perhaps they just see a big ship they think is a worth a lot of money.”

No kidding, Rog! . . .
