BRUCE FEIN: Extraterritorial law enforcement: Be careful what you wish for

The United States is aggressively championing the extraterritorial use of search warrants for speculative gains in law enforcement. It should be careful of what it is wishing for. It might get it, and trigger an epidemic of international headaches from tyrannical and democratic foreign nations alike demanding access to electronic information about their citizens stored in the United States.

In this Feb. 17, 2011 photo, Las Vegas Sands Corp. Chief Executive Sheldon Adelson addresses the media during the grand opening ceremony of the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Casino billionaire Adelson spent more on the 2012 federal elections than any other donor, putting up about $90 million of his family's money. His willingness to make a huge political investment helps explain why his signature group, the Republican Jewish Coalition, has attracted all of the major GOP presidential candidates to its forum Thursday, Dec. 3, 2015 in Washington - even though the man himself won't be among the 700 people in attendance.

BRUCE FEIN: Religious bigotry, stupidity and fear

The religious bigotry and industrial scale stupidity and fear exhibited in the United States following the Islamic State mass murders in Paris verify Ecclesiastes: "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."

BRUCE FEIN: Release the 9/11 papers, reveal Saudi nexus

Former President George W. Bush, incumbent President Barack Obama and Congress are collectively guilty of a morally repellant cover-up of the Saudi royal family's complicity in the 9/11 abominations.

BRUCE FEIN: Congress: Order troops home under war powers resolution

President Obama has dispatched troops to Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan to risk that last full measure of devotion on fool's errands hoping to metamorphose warring sectarian, ethnic, or tribal factions into peaceful Democrats. Congress should order them home by concurrent resolution to defend Americans on American soil under section 5 (c) of the War Powers Resolution.

BRUCE FEIN: Jimmy Carter’s mega-delusions for Syria peace

Writing in Monday's The New York Times ("A Plan to End the Syrian Crisis"), former President Jimmy Carter unveiled his mega-delusional Syrian peace plan and noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin had advised him that "the only real chance of ending the [Syrian] conflict was for the United States and Russia to be joined by Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia in preparing a comprehensive peace proposal."

BRUCE FEIN: Dick and Liz Cheney defile Founding Fathers

Americans are a master race uniquely blessed with angelic DNA unblemished by original sin and ordained by the heavens to spread their benevolence to every nook and cranny of the world by exterminating Antichrists or otherwise. That characterizes the hubristic, sophomoric scribblings of Dick and Liz Cheney in their co-authorship of "Exceptional: Why The World Needs A Powerful America."
