USA
GO AHEAD FOR AEGIS CONTRACT
The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) -- the congressional and federal government financial and legal watchdog, previously known as the General Accounting Office -- has finally approved the $292.5 million contract awarded last May by the Pentagon to the UK-registered "risk assessment, security and defense assistance company", Aegis Defence Services, following a complaint lodged by Texas-based DynCorp International, one of six rival companies which bid for the Department of the Army contract for security work in Iraq.
DynCorp complained to the GAO that Aegis "lacked the requisite responsibility to perform this contract due in part to certain alleged activities of Aegis's principal director and largest shareholder." This refers to the former British Army officer, Lieutenant Colonel Tim Spicer, who commanded the Scots Guards in Belfast, in 1992, when an unarmed teenager, 18-year-old Peter McBride, was shot dead by Scots Guardsmen, Mark Wright and Jim Fisher. Both soldiers were convicted of murder, but later released after a campaign in which Lt. Col. Spicer was heavily involved. ...(cut)... ---------------------------------------------

USA - ANTHONY CHRISTINO
A former senior Pentagon officer, Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Christino, who retired last June after twenty years with US Army Intelligence, had criticized President George Bush, the US Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, and Major General Geoffrey Miller, the former commandant at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, of widely exaggerating the intelligence benefits of the brutal regime at Camp Delta, claiming that the "Kafkaesque system" of isolation, accusation, physical and mental abuse, and rewards for cooperation, had failed to prevent "a single terrorist attack." ...(cut)... ---------------------------------------------

USA
"GIT THE UN" TURNS AGAINST BUSH & RIGHT-WING
We have previously mentioned the lack of credibility of the partisan Republican Congressional investigation of the United Nations "oil-for-food" program for Iraq under Saddam Hussein (INT, "USA - 'Git the UN' Becoming COP & NYT Policy", n. 447 13; "'Git the UN' & Forget Iraqi WMD", n. 446 15)), stating: "To force reality to follow their ideology, conservative Republicans have pushed forward a Congressional investigation of the United Nations-sponsored 'oil-for-food' program in Iraq, a sort of political revenge for the UN being right about the non-existence of WMD in Iraq." Somehow the message got through and the committee followed an "Intelligence" suggestion to put more resources into investigating Halliburton and other American companies which obtained lucrative contracts without competitive bidding. On 5 October, Knight Ridder headlined "Expansion of Probe into Iraq's Oil-for-Food Program Includes CPA [Iraqi Coalition Provisional Authority]. The next day, Associated Press added "Oil-for-Food Probe to Reach White House": "A House subcommittee investigating Iraq's oil-for-food program expanded its probe to the Bush administration Tuesday, agreeing to subpoena documents on the US postwar management of oil revenue and, if necessary, audits of contracts for reconstruction projects, including one given to Halliburton Co." That makes it sound like the subcommittee was reading "Intelligence", although they are not subscribed. ...(cut)... ---------------------------------------------

USA
MUTINY IN IRAQ & "FRAGGING" NEXT IN LINE
...(cut)... Much of the major US press wants to convey the impression that these are exceptions rather than the rule and that "morale still seems high and the number of such incidents remains relatively low. (By comparison, in World War II, 2 million men out of a force of 16 million were court-martialed for various reasons.)." However, mutinies occur when soldiers don't have choices about how they'll die and they "have nothing to lose". To be in that situation already means that things can only get worse if the war is pursued. The next thing the press will learn about is Vietnam war-style "fraggings" where "gung-ho" officers and "non-coms" "catch a bullet" not fired by Iraqi insurgents. If it isn't already happening, it's just around the corner. ...(cut)... ---------------------------------------------

EASTERN EUROPE
PACE & DRUGS FOR CHECHEN CONFLICT
...(cut)... What Maskhadov and his cohorts don't want to recognize -- but what the major media now knows -- is that Chechen warlords and Islamist terrorists have always done as they wished under Maskhadov's aegis. In reality, Maskhadov and friends should be happy that the PACE statement essentially "left them out" and didn't associate them with the Beslan massacre and other Chechen warlord atrocities. Maskhadov may well be a "moderate" but no one follows his orders in the field and negotiating with him is a waste of time until he can prove he can stop the massacres. ...(cut)... ---------------------------------------------

ISRAEL
"WET OPERATIONS" AGAINST QAIDA CADRES
Mossad's worldwide network of an estimated 150 agents -- specifically those under deep cover in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Turkey and Thailand -- have been ordered by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, to focus their efforts on the hunt for Qaida militants believed to be responsible for the car-bomb attacks on the Egyptian Taba Hilton Hotel and the Red Sea bungalow beach resort, Ras-a-Satan, in which 33 people, including at least 21 Israeli citizens, died. In a telephone call to the AFP bureau in Jerusalem, the attack was claimed by a previously unknown organization, Jamaa Al-Islamiya Al-Alamiya (the World Islamist Group) "in revenge for the Palestinian and Arab martyrs dying in Palestine and Iraq." ...(cut)... ---------------------------------------------
