Killing of al-Awlaki Major Blow to Al-Qaeda

Con Coughlin, The Telegraph
Another bombing raid, and another al-Qaeda terrorist mastermind bites the dust. The latest attack, which is said to have killed Anwar al-Awlaki, the Yemeni-born terrorist who masterminded the East Midlands Airport cargo bomb plot, means that 2011 is turning out to be an exceptional year for the West's counter-terrorist offensive against al-Qaeda.The elimination of Osama bin Laden by a team of US Navy Seals in May removed the terrorist organisation of its spiritual figurehead. The killing of Awlaki and several other al-Qaeda operatives in a bombing raid in Yemen – most...

Number one Romney attack line against Perry? Immigration.

Indicted for insufficient hatred. (Reuters)
Indicted for insufficient hatred. (Reuters)
Anyone who still doubts the role immigration will play in knocking down Texas Gov. Rick Perry, just look at the latest attack line from Mitt Romney's camp:
?It is becoming increasingly clear that Rick Perry has problems with the truth. Each of Rick Perry?s attacks has been proven false,? Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said. ?Instead of dreaming up phony attacks on Mitt Romney, Governor Perry should explain why he encourages illegal immigration, why he wants to dismantle Social Security, and why he accepted billions of dollars of stimulus to cover up his massive budget deficit.?

It's no accident that immigration leads the list. Perry's insufficient hatred toward brown people was always liable to become a campaign issue, and his opponents are finally wielding it like a club (like Michele Bachmann).

Rick Perry is such a nut that there aren't a lot of opportunities to attack him from the Right. This is perhaps the only place for them to do that, and Perry's opponents won't let that opportunity go to waste?even if it further alienates the GOP from the nation's largest growing demographic.
