Sebelius’s Big Day of Big Lies
Those Americans who watched Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’s testimony yesterday before the House Energy and Commerce Committee might be forgiven for thinking they were in an alternate universe. Despite her assertion that Americans should ”hold me accountable” for the ongoing debacle, Sebelius later claimed she was never warned by anyone that the scheduled roll out of the Healthcare.gov website would be the disaster it turned out to be. Furthermore, she stood by the assertion that the president has been “keeping his promise” with regard to the idea that Americans who liked their insurance policies could keep them. Fittingly, during the entire three and a half hours the Secretary testified, the Healthcare.gov website was down.

However, ICC has learned that following the discovery and arrest of Christians, the Eritrean authorities are now imprisoning neighbors and anyone else the government feels "should have known" that Christians were in the vicinity. This new policy is likely intended to motivate non-Christians to act as informants in abetting the government's efforts to identify and detain Christians. Communications into and out of the police state are difficult, but the latest story to emerge is an all-too-common portrait of the plight of those suffering for their faith.
