MI5 priority collection on British Jihadists in Syria
The BBC is reporting that MI5, the UK domestic intelligence service, regards British jihadists in Syria as their priority collection target. I suggested this would be the case back in January. If interested, please have a read of my piece: Why Syria is forcing British Intelligence into hard choices. Also related are my two recent pieces on ISIS for the Telegraph: (pre-Iraq crisis) A terrorist storm heads west and ISIS holy land: June 2015. And my (pre-Iraq crisis) Fox News discussion on ISIS.
My related thoughts can be found under ''Other'' header of this page.

DDay70 - The Longest Day
I thought it might be worth re-posting this clip from a previous blog post. Such a special scene.
The Longest Day - ''History''
In the context of history and politics, in one moment, this scene explains why the US was so instrumental to the allied victory in World War Two. America may not have had Europe's history of art or culture, but it did have eminent courage and an unsurpassed ability to project power. That, and a sustaining belief in the cause of good against evil. Those young men ended Nazi death camps, liberated a continent and then defended its freedom against Soviet invasion.
