Top Ohio homeland security officials falsify credentials...

Whoa!

Shouldn't Homeland Security Departments vet their employees a little better?

These guys may be feeding information to terror co-conspirators, and groups that support terrorism

Checking the LinkedIn profile for Olen Martin (don't worry Mr. Martin, we've got screenshots and printed copies to post once you delete the information; Google cache of the page here), who heads up the Northern Border Initiative, finds that he lists both a bachelors and masters degrees from "Suffield University". But a fifteen second check on the internet finds that "Suffield University" is an illegal diploma mill. Here's what their wikipedia page says:

Now that's just wrong! Why shouldn't we just take folks' word for it? You mean people would actually lie?

Omar Alomari was a high ranking official in the Jordanian Government

It appears Omar Alomari was a high ranking official in the Jordanian Government.

As an employee in a sensitive position with the Ohio Department of Homeland security, what could go wrong...

Jawa, as usual has the scoop ...

Why is this not Front Page, or Lead Network news worthy.

I just google-fu his name and position-Nada, except what was note in the Jawa report. The story began four months ago?

Ohio Homeland Security Official Fired Over Resume Discrepancy

By Ed Barnes

A high ranking Jordanian-born Ohio Homeland Security official, whose efforts to create liaisons with Arab-American groups came under criticism from some conservatives, has been fired from his $76,000-a-year job for failing to disclose previous employers on his employment application to the agency.

Omar Alomari, 60, the agency's community engagement officer since 2006, had been assigned to connect with local groups, offer advice, collect information and provide a first line of defense against domestic terrorism.

But Alomari, who had testified before Congress on Ohio’s efforts at community outreach, was criticized by his opponents for his outreach to controversial organizations such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Arab-American civil rights
organization.

His firing two weeks ago was sparked by an investigation by the Jawa Report, which describes itself as “a weblog comparing Muslims to Jawas, and containing criticism and satire of Islamic traditions and beliefs.” Jawas are the scavengers in the "Star Wars" movies who comb the desert in search of discarded scrap materials.

Alomari, according to Ohio Public Safety records, left a gap of six years in the resume he submitted to Homeland Security. During those six years he was a full-time humanities instructor at Columbus State Community College in Ohio, a job he left after he was accused of having a consensual affair with a student, in violation of school policy.

He was also accused of giving false information to investigators looking into the discrepancy in his resume. According to documents Jawa provided to FoxNews.com, Alomari said he only put down work in his resume that he thought would be of interest to a new employer. Under questioning he also admitted to serving as an “adviser” to Jordan's minister of labor before emigrating in 1979.

Despite the explanation, Ohio Homeland Security officials decided he should be fired from his job.

There was no evidence presented that he compromised security or committed any criminal acts in the conduct of his work.

Efforts to reach Alomari at home were unsuccessful.
