So, you’re head of a major airline in America. It’s 6.5 years since airplanes of major American airlines were used as weapons to murder almost 3,000 Americans. And many more individuals have been caught since then with hidden weapons and other apparent attempts to take over planes, including a shoe bomber, Muslim convert Richard Reid.
An opening at your airlines has occured. And you need someone to fill the prestigious and key position of “Director of Luggage Planning.” So you pick . . . the cousin of one of Hezbollah’s top leaders?!

That’s what Northwest Airlines did. It recently announced the hiring of Hussein Berry, a Shi’ite Muslim with multiple ties to Hezbollah. Berry’s cousin, Nabih Berri, was the head of the Shi’ite Amal Militia, which became an ally and de-facto faction of Hezbollah. Nabih Berri was also Hezbollah’s spokesman/negotiator for TWA 847, the hijacked flight on which Hezbollah terrorists trampled to death Navy diver Robert Dean Stethem. Nabih is now the Hezbollah-backed/Syrian-installed speaker of the Lebanese Parliament.
Among Hussein Berry’s many other cousins are many activists and key figures in Hezbollah. But no biggie, because he’s now in charge of “luggage planning” for the entire Northwest Airlines. But I’m sure he’ll have no access to suitcases or cargo or bombs. Right? Right? I mean, Hezbollah’s threats of terrorist attacks in America, during the Israel-Hezbollah war, after the Imad Mughniyeh death, and–throughout–with the spying of Nada Nadim Al-Aouar Deladurantaye Valley Prouty at the CIA and FBI, are nothing right?
The hiring of Berry is no shocker because, hey, this is Northwest Airlines–the same company that continues to employ the wife of Al-Qaeda terrorist and federal inmate Omar Abdel-Fatah Al-Shishani. It’s also the same airline that, under the leadership of its liberal Jewish Vice President, Andrea Fischer-Newman, agreed to pay off whining Muslims for missing their flights to Detroit upon returning from the Hajj and agreed to force all Northwest Airlines employees into Muslim sensitivity-training as taught by HAMAS front-group CAIR.
And Northwest Veep, Ms. Fischer-Newman, also a RINO GOP Regent of the University of Michigan, is notorious for having done nothing to stop the anti-Semitic divestment conference Muslims held there in 2002, despite the appearance of Islamic Jihad terrorist Sami Al-Arian as the keynote speaker.
So, the Northwest Airline appointment of Hussein Berry as Northwest Airline Director of Luggage Planning is par for the course for this pan-jihadist airline that will do anything to pander to those who hate us, in the interest of the almighty buck.
Contrast that with US Airways, which never gave in to CAIR and the whining flying imams, despite a costly lawsuit and lots of publicity.
Northwest is in talks to merge with Delta. If the merger goes through, lets hope they get rid of the pan-Islamist deadweight, including Fischer-Newman and Director of Luggage Planning Hussein Berry. Until then, try to fly other airlines if you possibly can.
