Preventing Homelessness in Veterans
Invisible injuries of war in Iraq and Afghanistan are showing up in returning troops, and a recent Pentagon surveys estimates that 20% will suffer from "temporary stress injuries" and 10% from "stress illnesses" that lead to pervasive social dislocations.

Betancourt, Colombia Hostage Rescue: Israel Plays Guiding Role – Alex Safian of CAMERA Available for Comment
Upon her dramatic rescue last week from the custody of Colombian rebel group FARC, as reported in the July 3 edition of the Wall Street Journal, Ingrid Betancourt stated "This is a miracle, a miracle. We have an amazing military. I think only the Israelis can possibly pull off something like this." In fact, according to Yossi Melman's 4/7/08 article in Ha'aretz, although Israelis did not directly take part in the rescue, Israeli security experts advised and guided the Colombian military in the planning of the successful operation through Global CST–an organization owned by former Israeli Defence Forces General Staff operations chief Brigadier General (res.) Israel Ziv and Brigadier (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser. According to Melman's piece, the Israeli group also provided equipment and intelligence technology to aid in the mission. Alex Safian PhD, Associate Director of CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America), is available for commentary regarding Israel's involvement in the rescue and Israeli anti-terror activities in general.
