I just don't understand the attraction of Islam for those women who convert. All I can figure is emotional disturbance and major daddy issues.

I am become severiously consternated about our screening process in... intel? Come on, people. Edward Snowden, Reality Winner, Bradley Manning?

Oh, and Christopher Steele is a reliable asset? Now it's becoming obvious how Mohammad Atta and his merry band worked in plain sight prior to 9/11.
