Obama helps Iran control Iraq, Syria, Lebanon

By Shoshana Bryen WASHINGTON, D.C. — “Strategy” is the summer watchword in Washington — strategy for handling ISIS, strategy for Syria, strategy for Middle East peace.

At the very least, U.S. should encrypt sensitive data

By Shoshana Bryen and Stephen Bryen WASHINGTON, D.C. –While most people were watching the debate over the NSA’s “metadata” collection program, a potentially more serious event occurred.
