Re: [CTRL] John P. O'Neill/ inves re Tampa/ TWA 800
-Caveat Lector- By accident, I came across a news piece that mentioned a 1997 investigation of a MidEast think tank located in Tampa, Fl. The group was under investigation to see if they passed money to Middle East terrorists (reference below). The briefcase (full of classified documents) that John P. O'Neill was investigated for being negligent with was lost in a Tampa hotel. (full St. Petersburg Times article below). [CNN mentioned that the briefcase in question contained several documents that included a report outlining virtually every national security operation in New York. ] I got the idea that Tampa might be an inopportune city to lose track of such documents. Below that, I found 3 cites that link John P. O'Neill with the TWA 800 investigation. http://www.ardmoreite.com/stories/052597/news/news17.html Terrorist groups raise money in U.S. By Richard Cole Associated Press Writer Posted May 25, 1997 [snip} A network of U.S.-based Islamic foundations is under investigation by the U.S. Customs Service to determine if they passed money to Middle East terrorists. < One is in Florida, where investigators are searching for evidence of wrongdoing in stacks of Arabic documents, encrypted computer files and bank records seized from the World and Islam Studies Enterprise, [[ a Tampa-based Mideast think tank once affiliated with the University of South Florida. ]] - http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/sptimes/index.html St. Petersburg Times; St. Petersburg, Fla.; Aug 20, 2001; Full Text: Copyright Times Publishing Co. Aug 20, 2001 The FBI has begun an internal investigation into one of its most senior counterterrorism officials, whose briefcase filled with documents on national security operations was stolen after he left it in a hotel conference room in Tampa last summer, the New York Times reported. The official, John O'Neill, 49, is the special agent in charge of national security in the FBI's New York office. He has overseen cases like the terrorist bombing of the Navy destroyer Cole in Yemen last year and the bombings of American Embassies in East Africa in 1998. O'Neill left his briefcase in a hotel conference room while he attended an FBI meeting in Tampa. The briefcase was stolen, but local authorities recovered it and returned it to him within hours with the contents. The theft was attributed to thieves believed responsible for a series of hotel robberies in the Tampa area. The briefcase incident was seen as so serious that the Justice Department conducted a criminal investigation. The inquiry ended in recent weeks with a decision by the department's internal-security section not to prosecute, law enforcement officials told the New York Times. Jill Stillman, a spokeswoman for the Justice Department, said department officials would not comment on the matter. Requests to discuss the matter with O'Neill were made to FBI officials in New York and Washington. In both cases, they said he declined to comment on the case. After the criminal inquiry, the FBI's internal-affairs unit began its own investigation to determine whether O'Neill had violated FBI rules against mishandling classified information. FBI agents are prohibited from removing classified documents from their offices without authorization. Violations are punishable by censure, suspension or even dismissal, depending on their seriousness. - http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/sptimes/index.html Horror of crash coming to rest in Hamptons Series: THE CRASH OF TWA FLIGHT 800 St. Petersburg Times; St. Petersburg; Jul 21, 1996; BILL ADAIR; [Illustration] COLOR PHOTO, Associated Press; Caption: John O'Neill photographs debris on Southampton Beach. --- http://www.charity.com/familiesoftwa800/newslttr.html THE FAMILIES OF TWA FLIGHT 800 ASSOC., INC.

To view this item online, visit http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?23345 Friday, June 22, 2001 Mexico: The next Lebanon? By Joseph Farah © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com We've all heard and read the reports recently about how the Mexican government is actively promoting illegal migration into the United States even providing survival kits to those intending to cross the Rio Grande and make their way to the "promised land." Mexico makes little or no effort to police its border with the U.S. It minimizes the threat the refugees pose to the United States. It even suggests its overflow population should be welcomed into the U.S. Therefore, a recent news item originating in the San Diego Union- Tribune was something of a shocker for several reasons. Mexico's National Security Adviser Adolfo Aguilar Zinser made the sensational announcement that Islamic terrorist organizations have a presence along the U.S. border and may be making contacts with Mexican guerrilla group s. "We have evidence that organizations or people linked to Islamic organizations could have a presence here or be passing through," Aguilar told a local radio program. Though declining to identify the specific groups, he al so said the groups could have indigenous guerrilla ties. The announcement was not intended to alarm U.S. authorities, but rather to quell fears in Mexico about the possibility of guerrilla attacks. "Our duty is to find them and send [them] away from the country so they don't put roots down here or try to use our territory as a haven," he explained. While Aguilar wouldn't name names, the newspaper El Universal and other Mexican dailies did. They said the Islamic militants trying to form a base of operations in Mexico are tied to Hezbollah, the Syrian and Iranian-back ed terrorists who established a base in Lebanon and have used it ever since to launch rocket and guerrilla attacks on Israel's northern border. And, despite the reassuring words of Aguilar, the Mexican media reports make clear the true purpose of the Islamic terrorists in the country to carry out guerrilla activities in the United States. But even Zinser acknow ledged the potential threat to the U.S. "The geographical proximity with the United States puts us on alert so that we are not the passing-through point for any of these organizations," he said. Because this report got little media attention in the United States and next to none in areas far from the border it is safe to say this is an issue not on the radar screen in Washington. But it's clear to me that the Islamic terrorists currently focusing their attention on destroying Israel are taking their fight to what they consider the ultimate enemy "the Great Satan" of the United States. Let me tell you, folks, this is not an enemy the U.S. Border Patrol can handle. There's been debate in a few circles lately about whether it's time to use the U.S. military to stem the flow of illegal immigration into the U.S. from south of the border. I've never been one to suggest the U.S. military needs more deployments. It is already vastly over-deployed. And there is always a civil liberties threat when the U.S. military deploys on domestic soil. But the one true objective of the U.S. military the one defined by the U.S. Constitution is to defend the borders of the country. Personally, I think this is a much more sensible deployment than those in Macedonia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Haiti and dozens of other remote places the U.S. acts as policeman of the world. Meanwhile, as our troops patrol borders in these and other countries, our own borders are as porous as a sieve. The illegal immigration into the United States in recent years has had devastating effects on the infrastructure of our country. It has been a demoralizing factor for millions of Americans especially those who live clos est to the problems. But all that is nothing compared to the horror and anguish that Americans will experience when the first truck bomber makes it across the border and delivers his load at a vulnerable U.S. target. It's nothing compared to the terror Americans will experience when the first airliner is blown out of the sky by hand-held, guided, American- made Stinger missiles from south of the border or north. It's nothing compared to the anger Americans will experience when Katyusha rockets start hitting American cities the way they routinely hit Israeli towns in Galilee. Sound far-fetched? With so little attention on Mexico, it could well become America's Lebanon.

-Caveat Lector- Afghan Angst Bay Area community watches Taliban depredations from afar Jonathan Curiel, Chronicle Staff Writer Sunday, March 18, 2001 ©2001 San Francisco Chronicle URL: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi- bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2001/03/18/MN180590.DTL In Kabul, Herat, Kandahar and other cities in Afghanistan, Now-ruz -- the traditional Afghan New Year -- will pass on Tuesday without fanfare. In the Bay Area, scores of Afghan men, women and children will dress up, make special food and play music, just as their Persian-speaking ancestors have done for thousands of years. "We will celebrate our tradition over here," said Suraya Ahmadzai, 40, who arrived in Fremont last year with her two daughters and three sons. "We're not going to forget about it." Although the Taliban's recent destruction of Afghanistan's biggest Buddhist statues has captured world attention, for many of the Bay Area's estimated 60, 000 Afghans it is just the latest evidence of horrors that have befallen their homeland since the fundamentalist religious group gained control. Less widely reported, for example, are the Taliban's strict rules against celebrating Now- ruz. Five years ago, Mohammed Najibullah, Afghanistan's widely hated Communist- backed president, was hung from a noose in Kabul, his flesh poked and prodded by angry Afghan men. When the Taliban killed and castrated Najibullah in 1996, they began a reign that still has repercussions in the Bay Area, which is home to the largest Afghan community in North America. Many with relatives in Afghanistan fear the Taliban and refuse to speak out publicly against them -- but for Sediqullah Rahi, one of Najibullah's two surviving brothers, hatred outweighs any other concern. "They're very primitive, close-minded people," Rahi said during an interview in his Fremont home. "They are not allowing anything progressive in Afghanistan. Our economy is destroyed, our social life is destroyed, our people's lives are nothing. And, now, they're destroying our cultural life, too." Rahi's three-bedroom apartment has turned into a refuge for 13 people, including his cousin Ahmadzai and her family. In Afghanistan, she taught history, geography and other high school subjects. One daughter, Illai, 26, was studying to be an engineer. A son, Faheem, 22, was preparing to be a doctor. Uprooted but happy to be away from the daily threat of death, they are taking English classes and hoping to resume a normal life, 7,300 miles from the land that nourished them since childhood. Waves of Afghan refugees have come to the Bay Area for 20 years. Concentrated in Fremont, Hayward and other East Bay cities -- and lacking highly visible political organizations that lobby city halls -- Afghans here have been hidden to most of the wider Bay Area population. That's beginning to change. With the building of new Afghan mosques, the opening of more Afghan businesses and the emergence of a generation of Afghan children reared and educated in the United States, the Bay Area's Afghan community might soon metamorphose into a more prominent ethnic body. When the first large wave of refugees arrived in the United States shortly after Soviet troops invaded Afghanistan in 1979, they thought they would return to their country within months or a few years. Today, Afghans in the Bay Area realize that peace may never completely prevail, and that "home" is now here. "As they say, Fremont is happening," said Feraidoon Mojadidi, a Herat- born man who owns the Rumi Bookstore in Fremont. In the past 10 years, so many Afghan businesses have opened near the intersection of Fremont and Peralta boulevards that Afghans jokingly call the area "Little Kabul." Within walking distance of Mojadidi's bookstore are shops that specialize in all things Afghan -- jewelry, pottery, newspapers, music, rice and bread. Lining the stores are posters that show smiling Afghan men in native hats called pakol, posters that show the armed mujahideen who terrorized Soviet troops until they left Afghanistan in 1989, and posters that show one of Afghanistan's most famous faces: the girl from a refugee camp who graced the cover of National Geographic in 1985. If there is a sad symbol of the Afghan diaspora, it is the girl with traumatized eyes who has not been seen since the photo was published. Prompted by the Soviet occupation and the subsequent internecine warfare among rival Afghan groups, more than 5 million people have fled the country in the past 20 years, most going to Iran and Pakistan. About 50,000 Afghans live in Russia, 40,000 in Germany and a lesser number in other European countries, Afghans say. Most who came to the United States settled in New York, Washington, Los Angeles and the Bay Area. How did Fremont become the de facto capital of Bay Area Afghan life? Afghans attribute the influx to three factors: comfortable weather, hilly surroundings that remind refugees of Afghanistan and a

-Caveat Lector- From http://inq.philly.com/content/inquirer/2001/09/16/books/CARL16.htm }}}>Begin Sunday, September 16, 2001 An argument for fighting terror with restraint, law Terrorism and America By Philip B. Heymann M.I.T. Press. 179 pp. $35 hardcover, $13.95 paper No event is so utterly immediate, so nakedly emotional, as an act of terrorism. Suddenly bullets shoot past you at an airport, or the disco becomes a fireball, or - on the bloody day that redefined infamy - terrorists crash hijacked planes into office towers, killing thousands. The instant assault - on one's nerves, on one's sense of justice - remains whether you're on the front line or watching from afar. In the latter case, it may mean reading about an old man in a wheelchair thrown over the side of a cruise ship by Palestinians to certain death. Or getting notified by an airline that your daughter's flight has exploded in midair. Terrorism doesn't invite sober, analytic responses from those who experience it directly or near-directly. Rather, it drives many people to face what seems absolute evil - a titanic wrong done to innocents - and the insti nctive impulse for revenge that most civilized types temper in ordinary life. Two years ago, Philip Heymann, former deputy attorney general of the United States and a professor of law at Harvard, took on the daunting task of articulating how the United States should respond to such impulses in Terr orism and America. I reviewed it in 1999, and this sadly called-for second look includes parts of that review. In his study, Heymann offers a pointed message. Whatever an individual might feel in response to terrorism, he advises, a country must proceed with "calm common sense." The United States, he advises, must act "intelligently and dispassionately." "For democratic nations," Heymann explains, "the primary concerns in dealing with terrorism are to maintain and protect life, the liberties necessary to a vibrant democracy, and the unity of the society. . . . What is nee ded is a strategy, not unbridled anger." Heymann thus explicitly opposes those such as former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, author of Fighting Terrorism (1995), who see attacking terrorism as "the destruction of a deeply evil activity and of those w ho practice it - and who see the primary means to that destruction as simply unleashing the security forces of a powerful state." Terrorism and America continues to offer the clearest, leanest, most even-toned account yet published of U.S. policy considerations about terrorism. It's remarkably lawyerlike, terribly composed in its discussion of terro rism. It lacks the complex historical texture of Bruce Hoffman's Inside Terrorism or the probing philosophical reflections of R.G. Frey and Christopher Morris' Violence, Terrorism and Justice (1991). Rich in Beltway balan cing, its legalistic approach nonetheless fails to persuade that U.S. prosecution of terrorists "by the book" is the best policy. At the outset, Heymann lists a wide assortment of well-known domestic and international terrorist incidents that he repeatedly uses to illustrate points. The lengthy list provokes somber reflection in itself. The events include the bombings of the federal building in Oklahoma City and the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center; the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and subsequent suicide bombing of Israeli b uses by Hamas militants; the Iraqi plot to assassinate former President George Bush in Kuwait, which triggered a 1993 cruise missile attack on Baghdad; the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland; the 1 985 seizure of the Achille Lauro cruise ship off Egypt and the killing of Leon Klinghoffer, pushed into the sea in his wheelchair; the bombings of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut and the Air Force complex in Riyadh, Sa udi Arabia; and the shooting of American tourists in the Vienna and Rome airports. Any revised edition presumably will include the U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa, the attack on the U.S.S. Cole in Yemen, and last week's B loody Tuesday. Heymann stresses in his opening chapter that defining terrorism legally is a necessary start. A finding of terrorism determines that the federal government will take the investigatory lead in a matter. He notes that "our federal statutes (18 U.S.C. 3077) define an 'act of terrorism' as any activity that involves criminal violence that appears to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping." As Heymann expertly takes us through complexities of international terrorism, hostage negotiation, multistate cooperation, state-sponsored terrorism, preventive approaches, the role of the criminal justice system and the place of domestic intelligence-gathering, he's nothing if not a realist.

"Interesting times lie ahead," observed John O'Neill, the FBI's section chief for counter-terrorism, as he sketched a portrait of the thrust of terrorist activities today as they affect or could potentially affect U.S. targets. The most recent threats are against infrastructure, O'Neill related, including aviation, transportation, water and power utilities. And some attacks worldwide have involved unconventional weapons, such as the gas attack against the subway in Tokyo, he noted. While terrorists at one time could be linked to the political motives of specific governments, that scenario is no longer valid, O'Neill said, and now bombings have become part of the shock strategy of trans-national special interest groups or radical extremists who are bound by no one government or country. The bombing of the World Trade Center in New York is an example of this change in strategy, he said. The FBI is concerned with the size of devices now being used in terrorist attacks, O'Neill stated, pointing out that while the number of individual attacks has decreased, the devastation of the attacks that are staged is greater. Terrorist organizations seek these larger-scale bombings to guarantee the publicity they seek, he said, adding, "We see the intent is for larger numbers of casualties." U.S. intelligence organizations are cooperating closely with FAA to ensure the aviation community is tied in with all efforts to prevent attacks against airlines and airports, O'Neill stressed.

Ambassador Barbara Bodine has prevented John O'Neill, the special agent in charge of national security in the F.B.I.'s New York office, who led the investigation, from returning to Yemen, officials said. Difficulties apparently first developed when Mr. O'Neill arrived shortly after the Oct. 12 bombing of the Navy ship that killed 17 American sailors. The turf war has helped stall the inquiry and points up the problems that confront the bureau as it tries to expand its efforts. While the F.B.I. has taken on broad new responsibilities for investigating crimes overseas, some officials say it too often tries to approach crimes the same way it does domestic cases, without taking into account the diplomatic or cultural problems of working in a foreign country.

[CTRL] Hijacker Activities Uncovered in Fla., N.J.
-Caveat Lector- Sunday September 23 11:52 PM EDT Hijacker Activities Uncovered in Fla., N.J. By ABCNEWS.com Witness: Hijack suspect visited crop dusting airfield. A suspected ringleader in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on America repeatedly visited a crop dusting airfield in Florida, asking lots of questions on topics including how many chemicals a crop dusting plane could hold, according to a witness. Federal authorities fear the suspect's presence at the airfield is another indication the terrorists may have planned, or still may plan, to use crop dusters to launch a chemical or biological attack. Crop dusters near the nation's 30 biggest cities have been grounded since Sept. 11. And now, police are stationed near the Belle Glade, Fla., crop dusting airfield the suspect, Mohammed Atta, apparently visited as recently as the Saturday before the terrorist attacks. In addition, Zacarias Moussaoui, under arrest as a material witness and detained since August, was found with a crop dusting manual in his belongings, ABCNEWS has confirmed. "Things like anthrax spores are easily transported, easily put into a solution that could be dispensed out of a crop duster," author and U.S. Navy (news - web sites) Commander Ward Carroll said. More than a dozen men including Atta a suspected hijacker believed to have died on a plane that smashed into the North Tower of New York's World Trade Center repeatedly visited the Florida airfield, said chief pilot Willie Lee, who identified Atta to the FBI (news - web sites). Atta was "very persistent about wanting to know how much the airplane will haul, how fast it will go, what kind of range it has," Lee said. "The guy kept trying to get in the airplane and there was nobody there but the ground crew. Everybody had gone. And he said that he just had to run him away from the airplane because he kept trying to get on the wing, wanted to get inside the cockpit and so forth." Check back for continuous updates on the hunt for terrorists from ABCNEWS' worldwide investigative team. Presenting the Evidence U.S. officials believe Atta and other men who hijacked airplanes and crashed them into the Pentagon (news - web sites) and the World Trade Center were working for terrorist Osama bin Laden (news - web sites)'s al Qaeda organization. The government is preparing a report detailing evidence that will prove to the world that bin Laden was behind the attacks, administration officials said today. Portions of the document, called a "white paper," will be presented with other evidence incriminating bin Laden and al Qaeda, Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) said today. "I think his guilt is going to be very obvious to the world. I mean, he has been indicted previously for terror activity against the United States, and so this is a continuing pattern of terrorism," Powell said on ABCNEWS' This Week . "We are putting all of the information that we have together, the intelligence information, the information being generated by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies," he said. The White House had previously said it would not make public any evidence because it could jeopardize intelligence-gathering efforts. But some countries including Pakistan, Afghanistan (news - web sites)'s neighbor and one of only two countries that recognize the Taliban regime as the legitimate Afghan government have asked that the United States provide clear evidence that bin Laden orchestrated the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington. Clues in Paterson, N.J. Meanwhile, investigators believe the New Jersey city of Paterson, just 25 miles from the twin towers, may have been the base for a major terrorist cell. ABCNEWS has learned that during the three months prior to the attack, 11 of the 19 suspected hijackers lived in or near Paterson. A building at 486 Union Ave. was home to six of the terrorists until just days before the attacks. According to the FBI, the third floor apartment was rented for the last six months by Nawak Al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour, two of the hijackers of Flight 77 that slammed into the Pentagon. But here, they were hardly noticed. Paterson has a large Muslim community, and the terrorists kept to themselves, had no furniture and made their calls from a pay phone. At least two of the hijackers stayed at a motel in Wayne, N.J., and others rented small planes at nearby airports for flight practice. Others used phony names and addresses to rent cars for long road trips. "There was nothing suspicious about them," said Glenn Boonstra, a car dealer. "They were typical businesslike people that wanted to rent a vehicle. But now we're looking at a form like this and saying, 'Where did he go in three days? Where did he put 1,100 miles on?' We do a lot of speculation." FBI agents are also looking at records from three banks near Paterson where the hijackers kept money. And they're looking at where that money came from.

The pact, forged in 1998, led to Iraqi experts helping to build a chemical weapons factory especially for bin Laden's terrorists in Sudan and bin Laden and Saddam Hussein's Iraq co-operating to build several others. In a paper for the US Congress's Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, its chairman Yossef Bodansky said the chemical weapons factory, in Soba, south-west of Sudan's capital Khartoum, was built with Iraqi know-how for Islamic terrorists affiliated mainly with bin Laden. Bodansky's paper shows a growing brashness of Iraqi involvement in developing chemical weapons for terrorism in Sudan away from the prying eyes of US planes patrolling the no-fly zone in Iraq. It cites two other ultra-mod ern chemical weapons factories built in Sudan with Iraq expertise. One, at Kafuri, houses laboratories developing chemical weapons, nerve agents and biological weapons, while another in the Mayu area has production lines for warheads, bombs and canisters utilising chemical agents. They w ere built three years ago. Iraq and bin Laden both separately forged links with Sudan, in north Africa, a decade ago. The Iraqi-Sudanese co-operation began during the 1990 Gulf War when Iraq sent guns equipped with chemical shells, SCUD-B launchers and missiles to Sudan to strike Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The fact these SCUDs originated from Iraq was confirmed in the mid-1990s when the Russians, after being asked to fix them, recognised the serial numbers were from missiles sold to Iraq. After the Gulf war, Iraq needed to protect its chemical weapons development from US forces patrolling the Gulf. This escalated in 1997 when Iraq moved weapons it had stored in Yemen to Sudan, and in the same year, weapons of mass destruction. Bin Laden's involvement with Sudan began in 1991 after he was expelled from Saudi Arabia for his anti-government activities. He spent five years living in Sudan building a complex web of business and financial interests b efore returning to Afghanistan. Intelligence reports claim the secret pact between Sudan, Iraq and bin Laden was made in October 1998 and there are numerous reports of meetings between bin Laden and Iraqi officials since. Some of this evidence emerged in early 1999, when the Paris-based Arab language newspaper Al Watan Al Arabi reported that western diplomatic and security sources had warned in secret reports that Iraq, Sudan and bin Laden were co-operating to build several chemical and germ weapons factories in Sudan financed by bin Laden and supervised by Iraqi experts and technicians. It said the Baghdad-Khartoum-bin Laden deal was regarded as the biggest act of co-ordination between extremist Islamic organisations and Baghdad "for confronting the US, the common enemy".

On top of that, the company granted him a $61.5 million loan and a guarantee for $100 million more in additional loans. In 2000, Ebbers received more than $34 million in salary, bonuses and long-term compensation, including stock options. One might expect that a company doling out such high levels of cash and other perks to its top executive was doing extremely well. But in fact the long-distance telephone company has been struggling to recover from a failed merger with Sprint Corp., and is in the midst of a restructuring plan to stave off losses. For the second quarter of 2001, WorldCom group, which comprises the corporations communications, Internet and telephone services, posted a net income of $574 million, down $197 million from the same period last year. The companys separate MCI group lost $29 million, dropping dramatically from its $541 million in profits in the second quarter of 2000. This past February, around the same time CEO Ebbers was raking in his multimillion-dollar compensation package, WorldCom laid off 6,000 of its 77,000 employees, mainly in its sales and marketing operations. A study released last month by the Institute for Policy Studies and United for a Fair EconomyExecutive Excess 2001: Layoffs, Tax Rebates, The Gender Gapshows that Ebbers situation is not unique among chief executives at US corporations today. The report examines 52 US firms that announced layoffs of 1,000 or more workers between January 1 and August 1, 2001, a period when more than 777,000 US workers lost their jobs. The study shows that as the economic boom of the 1990s began to falter in 2000, and profits and share values plunged, CEOs at financially distressed companies continued to pull in mammoth salaries. Moreover, the report reveals how CEOs at those companies that eliminated the most jobs earned substantially more than other executives. As in the case of WorldCom CEO Bernard Ebbers, some of the top- earning CEOs were at the helm of corporations that have carried out thousands of job cuts. Dell Computer Corp. has eliminated 5,700 jobs so far in 2001, and its chief executive Michael Dell received $201.3 million in total compensation. JDS Uniphase CEO Kevin Kalkhoven took in $106.9 million in 2000; the fiber-optic components maker has cut 12,000 jobs so far this year. The report cites many more examples. But even more significantly, many of these layoff leaders received hefty compensation packages while their companies were losing millions of dollars in profits and share values plummeted. Merrill Lynch & Company, the nations biggest brokerage firm, for example, reported a 21 percent drop in net income for the quarter ended July 30, with earnings of $874 million compared to $1.1 billion for the same period last year. The company has eliminated 1,700 jobs this year. But Merrill Lynch chief executive David Komansky made $39.1 million in 2000, up 82 percent from 1999. Minneapolis-based telecommunications equipment maker ADC Telecom announced August 23 a $40 million loss in the quarter ended July 31, compared to a $121 million profit in the same period last year. The company announced March 27 that it was eliminating 4,000 jobs. ADC Telecom CEO W.J. Cadogan, however, received a 150 percent increase in salary and bonus over his 1999 earnings, and took home a total compensation package of more than $45 million. Even when the stock market bubble began to burst in 2000and trillions of dollars in paper wealth, particularly in the high-tech sector, were lostCEO pay continued to rise. According to Business Weeks annual survey of 365 of the biggest US companies, executive pay rose to an average of $13.1 million a year in 2000. The magazine also reports that four of the top-earning CEOs for the last five years have come from companies which they describe as marginal to horrible performers in the marketWalt Disney, Cendant, Computer Associates and Apple Computer. Executive Excess 2001 argues that these figures debunk the claims of those who contend that the market determines CEO pay. The authors of the study describe a situation inside corporations where committees that determine CEO compensation are generally controlled by the CEOs themselves. The report cites a Fortune magazine investigation: Directors who wont play along [with the increases] are rotated out to other committees. One chairman of a compensation committee agreed with another director that this stuff is wrong, but went on to say, weve got to do it. When the economy was expanding the huge salaries and bonuses were justified with claims that the CEOs were ge
Re: [CTRL] John P. O'Neill/ Head of WTC Security Former FBI Counterterrorism
-Caveat Lector- This report says O'Neill took the job earlier this year. CNN's version quotes the NYC Police Commissioner as saying September 11th would have been O'Neill's first or second day at the job. Another version says O'Neill was hired for the job in August. I have a question Assuming all security personnel within the WTC complex are in radio contact, would the decision to command employees (over the loudspeaker system) to remain at their desks have come from the head of security? An interesting piece of info: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/special/terror/aftermath/1058676 Last month, FBI sources confirmed that O'Neill was under investigation after he left a briefcase containing classified information unattended in a hotel in Tampa, Fla., last year. The briefcase, which was recovered and returned to O'Neill, contained several documents that included a report outlining virtually every national security operation in New York.

O'NEILL Chief, International Terrorism Operations Federal Bureau of Investigation. Presented at the National Strategy Forum on June 11, 1997 "...Law enforcement as most of you have seen in the last five years come out and law enforcement officials talked about that street crime cannot be dealt with just as a law enforcement problem. We need community policing. We need neighborhood watches. We need the activism to help us combat street crime. And it's pretty much the same way with acts of terrorism. We need to strengthen those soft targets as we investigate groups and individuals whom they try to attack us or attack our citizens. We also need to take a look at those logical places where terrorists may attack and try to strengthen them. " "...And that's much the same mindset in terms of terrorists picking their targets. So we can marry the public and the private sector together in terms of corporate security concerns. You know those places that are logical places for terrorists to hit, we like to do that marrying there. The other job is pretty simple to see, a little bit more difficult to carry out, and our job is relatively simple. It's to prevent acts of terrorism occurring against Americans in the United States and in those situations where an act has occurred have a massive response to be able to catch those people that are involved in the event and stop the -- that word terror, and the terrorists from sometimes stalling the American way of life.

[CTRL] Kissinger Sued for 1970 Slaying of Chilean General
-Caveat Lector- Tuesday September 11 8:32 AM ET Kissinger Sued for 1970 Slaying of Chilean General WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The family of Chilean military commander Rene Schneider, killed during a botched kidnapping in 1970, has filed a lawsuit seeking more than $3 million in damages from Henry Kissinger and other Nixon administration officials, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday. It quoted attorneys as saying the suit, filed on Monday in federal court in Washington, was based on recently declassified CIA (news - web sites) documents and sought damages from Kissinger, former CIA Director Richard Helms and the U.S. government for ``summary execution,'' assault and civil rights violations. The suit alleges that Schneider was targeted because he stood in the way of a military coup to prevent Salvador Allende from taking power as Chile's president. Allende was inaugurated in 1970 but was ousted in a bloody 1973 coup. The killing has long been considered to have been carried out by right-wing extremists within the Chilean military. Kissinger, who was President Richard Nixon's national security advise at the time, did not return a telephone message left at his New York office, the Post said. Helms denied wrongdoing, but would not discuss details, saying he hadn't seen the suit. ``It's a complicated case,'' he told the newspaper. ``The United States did not want Allende to assume the presidency, and my father was the only political obstacle for a military coup,'' the Post quoted Schneider's eldest son, also named Rene Schneider, as saying. ``Obviously, he had to be taken out of the way,'' said the son, who lives in Chile. He and his brother Raul, an artist living in Paris, are the named plaintiffs in the suit. Rene Schneider said documents made public over the past two years ``made me realize that my father's death is perhaps the one crime perpetrated outside the U.S. that most clearly links back to the U.S. government, the CIA, and Kissinger in particular.'' According to the suit, Nixon met with Kissinger and Helms on Sept. 15, 1970, and ordered steps to be taken to prevent Allende from taking power even though he had won the presidential election. Nixon authorized $10 million to be spent on a military coup. After two failed kidnapping attempts, Schneider was ambushed on his way to work on Oct. 22, 1972. The assailants shot him as he was getting out his gun to defend himself. He died in a military hospital three days later, a day after Chile's congress ratified Allende's victory, the Post said. Allende was in power for three years and died on Sept. 11, 1973, during a military coup led by Gen. Augusto Pinochet (news - web sites) and indirectly supported by the CIA. Pinochet, who ruled until 1990, was arrested in London in 1998 but was freed after 16 months when Britain decided that he was too ill to be extradited to Spain to face torture charges. The former general was indicted in Chile for death squad killings, but attempts to prosecute him virtually ended in July when Chile's Appeals Court ruled he was mentally unfit to stand trial.

[CTRL] Mobile Phones May Do Harm by Speeding Up Brain
-Caveat Lector- Friday September 21 5:33 PM ET Mobile Phones May Do Harm by Speeding Up Brain By Lucas van Grinsven LONDON (Reuters) - Mobile phones may cause damage to health by speeding up the brain's response times, a British scientist told a conference on Friday. As consumer concerns mount that prolonged mobile phone use could lead to problems ranging from headaches to tumors, a recent study showing an alarming rate of brain cancer in some cell phone users is helping swing scientific opinion in Britain. Dr. Alan Preece, head of biophysics at Bristol Oncology Center, is among a group of scientists becoming increasingly convinced that radiation from cell phones triggers chemical processes in the body that may be harmful. Six separate studies now indicate that response times speed up when people are exposed to radio frequency (RF) signals from mobile phones. ``Perhaps we now have to accept there is an effect on the brain,'' Preece told a London conference on the health risks of mobile phones. ``The response time has improved because of stress proteins, which are switched on by a gene. This needs further research. The chronic exposure to radio frequency signals might well have a detrimental (health) effect.'' Stress proteins are produced when body temperature rises, but Preece and other scientists said they can also be released purely as a result of RF signals, when body temperature is normal. Other research from Sweden and Switzerland has indicated that radiation from mobile phone calls disturbs sleep. In a study not yet published in scientific literature, Swedish professors Lennart Hardell and Kjell Hansson Mild found that people who had used analog mobile phones for up to 10 years had a 26% higher risk of brain cancer than a ``control'' sample of patients. The study has unsettled many scientists--even though it is based largely on a previous generation of mobile phones, many of which were installed in cars with aerials on the roof, and which emitted signals continuously, unlike the latest, digital phones. ``One can no longer go around saying there is no link (between cell phone use and health effects),'' Preece said. ``Without question, there is a biological threat,'' agreed James Lin, professor of Bioengineering and Electrical Engineering at the US University of Illinois. ``The question is how hazardous mobile phone use is.'' But Lin said there were as almost as many studies purporting to show a biological impact from mobile phone use as studies that indicated the opposite: ``Our understanding is still evolving. We need to have a much larger database.'' He noted that it takes nearly a decade for most brain cancers to develop-- longer than the period of use covered by most studies. The World Health Organization (news - web sites) (WHO) said last week that more research was needed before damage to health could be ruled out. However, Elisabeth Cardis, chief of Radiation and Cancer at the WHO's International Agency for Research in Cancer, told a conference in Finland that any possible risk was small. Last year, a British government-sponsored scientific inquiry concluded that while there was no evidence of a danger to health, it would be wise to discourage children from using mobile phones, because they were more susceptible to radiation.

Good morning, Mr. McDade. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has reason to believe that the national security of Canada has been compromised. A trojan horse, or back door, allegedly has been found in computer systems in the nation's top law-enforcement and intelligence organizations. "Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to establish whether this is the PROMIS software reportedly stolen in the early 1980s from William and Nancy Hamilton, owners of Inslaw Inc., and reportedly modified for international espionage. As always, should you or any of your associates be caught, the governments of Canada and the United States will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This recording will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Sean." Sounds like the opening taped message from an episode of the 1960s TV action series Mission Impossible. But just such a mission was offered - and accepted - by two investigators of the National Security Section of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The Mounties then covertly entered the United States in February of last year and for nearly eight months conducted a secret investigation into the theft of the PROMIS software and whether and by whom it had been obtained for backdoor spying. PROMIS is a universal bridge to the forest of computer systems. It allows covert and undetectable surveillance, and it and its related successors are unimaginably important in the new age of communications warfare. In this exclusive investigative series Insight tracks the Mounties and explores the mysteries pursued by the RCMP, including allegations involving a gang of characters believed to be associated with the suspected theft of PROMIS, swarms of spies (or the "spookloop" as the Mounties called them), the Mafia, big-time money laundering, murder, international arms smuggling and illegal drugs - to name but a few aspects of the still-secret RCMP probe. But the keystone to this RCMP investigation is PROMIS, that universal bridge and monitoring system, which stands for Prosecutor's Management Information System - a breakthrough computer software program originally developed in the early 1970s by the Hamiltons for case management by U.S. prosecutors. The first version of PROMIS was owned by the government since the development money was provided by the Department of Justice (DOJ), but something went awry on the way to proprietary development.

[CTRL] We've Found God Again!
The Free Congress Commentary We've Found God Again! By E. Ralph Hostetter These words come from a CBS TV channel, introducing a Hollywood related program of all things: "And we've found God again." The statement was part of a prologue listing values such as flying the American flag, coming together as a nation and a revival of patriotism; values that were rediscovered following the worst terrorist attack on American soil in history, leaving more than 5,000 dead at the New York Trade Towers, the Pentagon in Arlington, VA, and United Flight 93 in a field in Pennsylvania. Prayers seemed to be on the lips of most Americans this week. President Bush prayed and called for a day of prayer; the Cabinet prayed and sang "God Bless America"; the Congress prayed; the Supreme Court prayed; and the churches across America held special prayer services. The prayers for the thousands lost in the carnage came from the lips of Americans all across the land. But our school children, probably the most frightened and psychologically damaged of all our population, were denied the solace and comfort of seeking help in prayers to their God. Their prayers were denied by a 1963 Supreme Court decision prohibiting prayer on public school property. And yet the President prayed in the (public) White House; the Supreme Court prayed in the (public) Supreme Court building; the Congress prayed in the (public) Capitol building. Denial of prayer in public schools resulted from a decision by the high court, under Chief Justice Earl Warren, "interpreting" the "establishment clause" of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The "establishment clause" represents only half of the first clause of the First Amendment. The term "establishment clause" was coined to give the impression that the entire clause was all about prohibiting Congress from establishing a state religion. Not so! The complete wording of the clause in the U.S. Constitution is: "Congress shall make no laws respecting an establishment of a religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The liberal Warren Court addressed only the first part of the so-called "establishment clause." The case, Murray v. Curlett, involved certain state laws requiring the recitation of the Lord's Prayer and reading of verses from the Bible. The U.S. Congress had never made any law that could remotely resemble the establishing of a religion. By apparently ignoring the second part of the "establishment clause" - "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" - the Warren Court, for all intents and purposes, "threw the baby out with the bath water" by denying all prayer in public schools, including voluntary prayers of student bodies. The term "prohibiting" is a far cry from the "free exercise thereof." The Warren Court, in its zeal to make law, closed the door on all prayer. Today the Supreme Court decision of 1963 has grafted onto itself the prohibitions of Christmas Nativity scenes in public squares as well as the banning of the Ten Commandments, the basic laws of civilization, in town halls and courthouses across America. "Kick God out of America" seemed to be the movement in this country until 8:42 a.m. on September 11, 2001. A means must be found to have the U.S. Supreme Court revisit the entire first clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to give meaning to "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." "And we have found God Again"...This simple quotation may well pave the way to permit Americans to freely exercise their God-given right - and constitutional right - to pray whenever, or wherever, they wish. E. Ralph Hostetter is a member of the board of directors of Free Congress Foundation New Online Petition Established! The Free Congress Foundation's Coalition for Constitutional Liberties has established a website with an online petition in support of our civil liberties and constitutional rights. The United States must protect itself from terrorism, but the liberties and freedoms of the American people must not fall by the wayside. The petition can be found at http://www.DefendYourFreedom.org. We encourage all NNN readers to sign the petition and for media outlets to inform their listeners, readers, or viewers about the site. Free Congress strongly supports protecting our constitutional rights and civil liberties, which is the main object of the petition. It should be emphasized, however, that Free Congress has consistently opposed the ratification of international treaties that unduly restrict our nation's ability to act in our best interest. We will continue to oppose such treaties in the future. There are cases in which the United States has bilateral extradition treaties with other countries, which may prove useful in making sure that those terrorists who are guilty for the attacks on September 11th are brought to justice.

Re: [CTRL] Head of WTC Security Former FBI Counterterrorism Specialist
-Caveat Lector- http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2001/09/17/oneill.htm 09/17/2001 - Updated 12:48 AM ET Ex-FBI man O'Neill expert on combating terrorism By Traci Watson, USA TODAY John P. O'Neill once fought terrorists. Last week he might have succumbed to them. O'Neill, 50, spent nearly all of his adult life working for the FBI, where he became one of the nation's foremost experts on counterterrorism. But earlier this year, he took a job as head of security for the World Trade Center. Now he is missing. Witnesses say they saw him return to one of the doomed towers Tuesday after telephoning a few people to assure them that he was fine. While with the FBI, O'Neill headed investigations of the deadly attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 and the bombing last year of the USS Cole in Yemen. That attack, also a suicide bombing, is thought to be tied to Osama bin Laden, whom top U.S. officials have tied to last week's attacks. As a security expert in the FBI's New York office, O'Neill was also heavily involved in the investigation of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. That incident made him even more fiercely dedicated to his work, colleagues said. "He saw up close and personal the devastation a terrorist act like that has," said Weldon Kennedy, a former FBI staffer who worked with O'Neill. "He was dedicated totally to what he was doing and thought it was absolutely crucial that the FBI had a strong posture fighting terrorism." It was O'Neill's insight and passion for work that colleagues remember most. Alan Frey, head of counterintelligence for Scotland Yard, once said of O'Neill: "I wouldn't want to be the terrorist he was hunting. I've seen him move heaven and earth." A speech O"Neill gave in 1997 now seems horribly prescient. "Unfortunately, I cannot predict that no Americans will be injured or killed as a result of a terrorist attack," O'Neill said. "And in fact, it will happen as long as violence is seen as the way to move along political or social agendas."

By Robert Fisk We are witnessing this weekend one of the most epic events since the Second World War, certainly since Vietnam. I am not talking about the ruins of the World Trade Centre in New York and the grotesque physical scenes which we watched on 11 September, an atrocity which I described last week as a crime against humanity (of which more later). No, I am referring to the extraordinary, almost unbelievable preparations now under way for the most powerful nation ever to have existed on God's Earth to bomb the most devastated, ravaged, starvation-haunted and tragic country in the world. Afghanistan, raped and eviscerated by the Russian army for 10 years, abandoned by its friends - us, of course - once the Russians had fled, is about to be attacked by the surviving superpower. I watch these events with incredulity, not least because I was a witness to the Russian invasion and occupation. How they fought for us, those Afghans, how they believed our word. How they trusted President Carter when he promised the West's support. I even met the CIA spook in Peshawar, brandishing the identity papers of a Soviet pilot, shot down with one of our missiles - which had been scooped from the wreckage of his Mig. "Poor guy," the CIA man said, before showing us a movie about GIs zapping the Vietcong in his private cinema. And yes, I remember what the Soviet officers told me after arresting me at Salang. They were performing their international duty in Afghanistan, they told me. They were "punishing the terrorists" who wished to overthrow the (communist) Afghan government and destroy its people. Sound familiar? I was working for The Times in 1980, and just south of Kabul I picked up a very disturbing story. A group of religious mujahedin fighters had attacked a school because the communist regime had forced girls to be educated alongside boys. So they had bombed the school, murdered the head teacher's wife and cut off her husband's head. It was all true. But when The Times ran the story, the Foreign Office complained to the foreign desk that my report gave support to the Russians. Of course. Because the Afghan fighters were the good guys. Because Osama bin Laden was a good guy. Charles Douglas-Home, then editor of The Times would always insist that Afghan guerrillas were called "freedom fighters" in the headline. There was nothing you couldn't do with words. And so it is today. President Bush now threatens the obscurantist, ignorant, super-conservative Taliban with the same punishment as he intends to mete out to bin Laden. Bush originally talked about "justice and punishment" and about "bringing to justice" the perpetrators of the atrocities. But he's not sending policemen to the Middle East; he's sending B-52s. And F-16s and AWACS planes and Apache helicopters. We are not going to arrest bin Laden. We are going to destroy him. And that's fine if he's the guilty man. But B-52s don't discriminate between men wearing turbans, or between men and women or women and children. I wrote last week about the culture of censorship which is now to smother us, and of the personal attacks which any journalist questioning the roots of this crisis endures. Last week, in a national European newspaper, I got a new and revealing example of what this means. I was accused of being anti-American and then informed that anti-Americanism was akin to anti-Semitism. You get the point, of course. I'm not really sure what anti-Americanism is. But criticising the United States is now to be the moral equivalent of Jew-hating. It's OK to write headlines about "Islamic terror" or my favourite French example "God's madmen", but it's definitely out of bounds to ask why the United States is loathed by so many Arab Muslims in the Middle East. We can give the murderers a Muslim identity: we can finger the Middle East for the crime - but we may not suggest any reasons for the crime. But let's go back to that word justice. Re-watching

Please sign up as a member today! _ ALERT: Ask Congress to Legislate to Improve Security Not Eliminate Freedoms Congressional Response to Terrorism Threatens Privacy Electronic Frontier Foundation ACTION ALERT (Issued: Monday, September 17, 2001 / Deadline: Friday, September 21, 2001) Introduction: San Francisco, California - The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today urged governmental officials to act deliberately in the coming days and to approve only measures that are effective in preventing terrorism while protecting the freedoms of Americans. Your urgent action is needed TODAY. In a press conference earlier today, Attorney General John Ashcroft indicated that he would be asking Congress to expand the ability of law enforcement officers to perform wiretaps in response to the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. Ashcroft asked Congress to pass anti-terrorism legislation including "expanded electronic surveillance" by the end of this week. Ashcroft's comments come in the wake of the Senate's hasty passage of the "Combating Terrorism Act" on the evening of September 13 with less than 30 minutes of consideration on the Senate floor. EFF believes this broad legislation would result in unintended negative consequences for civil liberties of law-abiding citizens by making it unnecessary for law enforcement officers to obtain a court wiretap order before requiring Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to release e-mail message header information and Internet browsing patterns of their subscribers. The bill would also authorize local U.S. attorneys to authorize certain surveillance orders. The Combating Terrorism Act is presently a Senate-passed amendment to a House appropriations bill. It is expected to be voted on in joint conference committee this week, or early next week at the latest. The House has already passed the "base" bill, while the Senate has passed it plus the wiretapping amendment. The House delegates several Represenatives to meet with several Senators, who will collectively decide what amendments the final, joint version will include. This final version is then voted on by the full House and Senate. This only real pressure point is the conference committee; whatever emerges will almost certainly pass both houses near-unanimously. What YOU Can Do Now: * Contact the conference committee members and your legislators about this issue AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Call them, and fax and/or email the EFF letter below today.

It is a difficult time in Washington, as it is across the country. We would like to bring to your attention words of courage and hope that have been spoken in Washington during the past week. Members of Congress from all parties, from across the country, and of all political views have expressed their support for preserving America's freedoms, for safeguarding America's ideals. We know that when countries give up liberties, they make sacrifices, not trade-offs, and what is lost may never be recovered. In the days ahead, let us move forward together to safeguard that which is most precious -- a system of government, the rule of law, and the principle of freedom that seeks to protect the rights of each person and the security of us all. Marc Rotenberg Electronic Privacy Information Center --- "[On September 11, 2001,] our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom, came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. . . . America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day. Yet, we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world." --President George W. Bush http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/09/20010911-16.html "[A]s we respond here at home to what we learn from these attacks, is that this is a country that understands that people have fundamental God-given rights and liberties and our government is constituted to protect those rights. We cannot -- in our efforts to bring justice -- diminish those liberties. Clearly this is not a simple, normal criminal case. This is an act of war, and those rules of warfare may apply. But here at home and domestically, we need to make sure that we're not tempted to abrogate any civil rights such as habeas corpus, protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, the freedom of expression and peaceable assembly, or freedom of religion. And just because somebody may come from an ethnic background, that means nothing in the exercise of their rights as citizens. They are American citizens. And so let's make sure that in our anger and in our efforts to bring justice, we remember our basic foundational civil liberties and not abrogate them." --Senator George Allen (R-VA) http://allen.senate.gov/PressOffice/FloorStatementOnTerroristAttacks.htm "Some have said yesterday and today that all has changed, all has changed for America. I know what they mean by that, and I respect their view, but I pray that is not true. I pray that is not true. I pray my junior colleague from Virginia is correct when he says the one thing we cannot allow to change is the values upon which this country is built, for if that were to occur, then they would be able to declare victory, genuine victory." --Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-DE) http://biden.senate.gov/%7Ebiden/press/release/01/09/2001912907.html "Attacking this country is not enough to defeat it. It never has been. That's something our enemies have discovered again and again. America's history is the story of a nation, of a people, that has repeatedly overcome what seemed like insurmountable challenges -- fueled by our individual liberty, our respect for the rule of law, and our belief in the value of every human life. America began as a nation by overcoming tyranny. We will continue by overcoming terrorism. And we will do it without sacrificing who we are as Americans.

[CTRL] Flight 93 Brought Down
Note: forwarded message attached. __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com We have a 911 tape that contains the sound of an explosion and descriptions of white smoke before Flight 93 went down. We haven't been allowed to hear this tape or even learn the name of the dispatcher who took the call. But we have been treated to every minute detail of every other cell phone call from the plane, I assume with the blessings of those conducting this "criminal investigation." Various witnesses report unmarked military planes circling the scene of the accident. FAA employees report F-16's following the plane before the accident. The DOD now admits that the military was monitoring the plane and "was in a position to intercept it." More witnesses to the crash variously report a "sonic boom," a loud bang and a noise the "sounded like thunder" BEFORE the plane hit the ground. Other witnesses report seeing parts falling off the plane into Indian Lake (3 miles away from the "crash site"), into their yards, and onto their homes. Note that this is east of the crash site and the official word is the plane was going in an "easterly" direction when it crashed. We have a significant percentage of debris up to 8 miles from the crash site. We have what appears to be at least three distinct fields as well as a swath of debris spread out over perhaps 25 or more square miles. We have the plane's large engines found "at a considerable distance from the crash site." We have a crater that is too small and shallow to account for the crash of an entire 757. We have an investigation more concerned with securing the crash site than with finding the black boxes. We get this sort of answer from deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz when told that the FBI has not yet ruled out that Flight 93 was shot down, "I have no information on it at all. In fact, that's the first I heard, and I'm going to look into it." A few hours later, FBI lead investigator Bill Crowley flatly denies the same military involvement that he said he couldn't rule out earlier in the day. We know the Greater Pitt air traffic tower was ordered cleared immediately before the crash. We know that every other radar tower in a position to track these planes was ordered to be cleared by the FAA. We know air traffic controllers warned pilots in the vicinity to "get as far away from that plane as we could as fast as we could." We know several Congressmen discussed getting authorization to shoot down the plane. But I suppose we should thank God that all those brave passengers figured out how to explode their plane exactly when they did to miraculously save a reluctant Air Force pilot from having to execute his gruesome orders. Now that's a movie plot that packs a wallop! Kevin Keogh From: http://www.wtaetv.com/pit/news/stories/news-96165420010915-120945.html (September 15th) The FBI said that a civilian business jet flying to Johnstown was within 20 miles of the low-flying airliner, but at an altitude of 37,000 feet. That plane was asked to descend to 5,000 feet -- an unusual maneuver -- to help locate the crash site for responding emergency crews. The FBI said that is probably why some witnesses say they saw another plane in the sky shortly after Flight 93 crashed at 10:10 a.m. Tuesday in a grassy field near Shanksville, about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The FBI said there was also a C-130 military cargo aircraft about 17 miles away that saw smoke or dust near the crash site, but that plane wasn't armed and had no role in the crash. That plane was flying at 24,000 feet." From: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010915/us/attacks_plane_crash_10.html (September 15th) Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said that the military had been monitoring the plane and was in a position to intercept it. ``I think it was the heroism of the passengers on board that brought it down, but the Air Force was in a position to do so if we had had to,'' he said on PBS's ``NewsHour With Jim Lehrer.'' >From >http://triblive.com/news/news_story.html?rkey=170881+sid=c9bcfc4109bba9233dac8f977ca42f63+cat=news-regional-terrorism+related_name=0914crash+exclude=1+template=news1.html: Speculation continued to swirl around reports that a military fighter jet was seen in the vicinity immediately after the crash. According to the Nashua (N.H.) Telegraph, FAA employees at an air-traffic control center near Boston learned from controllers at other facilities that an F-16 "stayed in hot pursuit" of the 757. By 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, the Air Force had taken control of all U.S. airspace, the unidentified controller told the Telegraph. A few minutes later, the Boeing crashed in Stonycreek Township. The F-16 made 360-degree turns to stay close to the 757, the Telegraph reported. "He must've seen the whole thing," the FAA employee said of the F-16's pilot. Crowley confir

[CTRL] Flight 93 Questions
Note: forwarded message attached. __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com WAS UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 93 SHOT DOWN BY U.S. FIGHTER? (c) 9/14/01 Ian Williams Goddard Yesterday (9/13/01) a Reuters report stated that the FBI cannot rule out that hijacked Flight 93 was shot down by a US fighter jet before it crashed in Pennsylvania. [1] Citing indications of a shoot down, the report states: "Pennsylvania state police officials said on Thursday debris from the plane had been found up to 8 miles away [from the crash site] in a residential community where local media have quoted residents as speaking of a second plane in the area and burning debris falling from the sky." Finding debris miles from the crash site indicates that the aircraft was disintegrating well before it hit the ground, as would be the case if the other plane witnesses saw shot it down. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the debris found miles from the crash site included "clothing, books, papers and what appeared to be human remains." [2] The secretary of defense says Flight 93 was not shot down.[3] While major media have widely reported that a frantic 911 call was made from Flight 93 stating "We are being hijacked, We are being hijacked," a local Pennsylvania paper reports that the passenger also reported hearing an explosion and seeing smoke coming from the plane, consistent with a shoot down. As the Somerest, PA paper The Daily American states: "[A] passenger locked in a bathroom aboard United Flight 93 called the 911 ... 'We are being hijacked, we are being hijacked!' dispatch supervisor Glenn Cramer from Westmoreland County quoted the man from a transcript of the call. The man told dispatchers the plane 'was going down. He heard some sort of explosion and saw white smoke coming from the plane and we lost contact with him,' Cramer said." [4] So we have (1) witness accounts of a second plane in the area, (2) burning debris falling, (3) debris falling up to 8 miles from the crash site, (4) human remains falling miles from the crash site, and (5) reports from a passenger that an explosion was heard near the plane and white smoke was coming from the plane. Do these facts support early reports that Flight 93 was shot down by a US fighter jet? Could the the terrorists have smuggled in and detonated a bomb? At the least these facts appear to be inconsistent with the leading scenario being played in the media that the plane crashed as a result of a struggle for control on board the doomed flight. Assuming the aircraft was shot down, under the circumstances -- other hijackers reasonably connected to the hijackers on Flight 93 using other jets to cause massive casualties on the ground -- it would be difficult to define the act unethical. Indeed, it would have arguably been an heroic act. However, the wrong would be lying to the public about what happened. ___ [1] Reuters: FBI Cannot Rule Out Shootdown of Penn. Plane. By David Morgan.

[CTRL] Control Tower Heard & Recorded One Hijack
Note: forwarded message attached. __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com Control Tower Heard & Recorded One Hijack Via NY Transfer News * All the News That Doesn't Fit Wednesday September 12 5:32 PM ET (via Yahoo) American Airlines Pilot Sent Transmissions -Paper BOSTON (Reuters)--The pilot of American Airlines Flight 11, which crashed into New York's World Trade Center on Tuesday, secretly sent messages to controllers on the ground during much of the flight, the Christian Science Monitor reported in its Thursday editions. The paper, citing interviews with two unnamed air traffic controllers, said the pilot was apparently triggering a "push to talk" switch in the cockpit, probably on the plane's steering wheel, known as a yoke. "The button was being pushed intermittently most of the way to New York," one of the controllers told the newspaper. "He wanted us to know something was wrong. When he pushed the button and the terrorist spoke, we knew. There was this voice that was threatening the pilot and it was clearly threatening." During the transmissions, the pilot's voice and the heavily accented voice of a hijacker were clearly audible, the controllers told the paper. The transmissions were all recorded and the paper said the tapes were turned over to federal law enforcement officials. The paper said controllers were first tipped off that something was wrong on Flight 11 when the aircraft failed to follow an instruction to climb to its cruising altitude of 31,000 feet. "He was cleared to continue his climb and he did not," the paper quoted one of the controllers as saying. "He was given permission to turn to go around (other airplane) traffic at 29,000 feet. So he the controller issued a further climb, and (the plane) does not respond. That was the first indication we had of a problem," the controller told the newspaper. The controller handling the plane then tried repeatedly to raise the aircraft on the radio but got no response. He then switched to an emergency frequency but again failed to establish contact. At about the same time, some 20 minutes into American Airlines Flight 11's trip, the aircraft's transponder stopped working, making its altitude a matter of guesswork. Without the transponder, the plane was still visible on radar. "Then the plane turned (south toward New York), and then they heard the transmission with the terrorist in the background," the controller told the paper. "The voice upset him the controller because he knew right then that he was working a hijack. Several other people heard the voice, and they could tell by the sound of it, intuitively, that this was a bad situation," the controller said. The controllers also said that they heard a hijacker say something like "We have more planes, we have other planes," although the statement's import was not understood. Another controller in the Federal Aviation Administration (news - web sites) Control Center in Nashua, New Hampshire, confirmed the events to the newspaper. "The person in the cockpit was speaking in English. He was saying something like, 'Don't do anything foolish. You're not going to get hurt,'" the second controller told the paper. = NY Transfer News Collective * A Service of Blythe Systems Since 1985 - Information for the Rest of Us 339 Lafayette St., New York, NY 10012 http://www.blythe.org e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] = nytcov-09.12.01-18:26:13-30946

Its destructive tendencies are likely to produce an explosion if the process is not contained and democracy is not rehabilitated.." === http://globalresearch.ca/articles/HER109A.html Centre for Research on Globalisation Folks Out There Have a "Distaste of Western Civilization and Cultural Values" by Edward S. Herman Professor Emeritus of Finance, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania Posted 15 September 2001 One of the most durable features of the U.S. culture is the inability or refusal to recognize U.S. crimes. The media have long been calling for the Japanese and Germans to admit guilt, apologize, and pay reparations. But the idea that this country has committed huge crimes, and that current events such as the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks may be rooted in responses to those crimes, is close to inadmissible. Editorializing on the recent attacks ("The National Defense," Sept. 12), the New York Times does give a bit of weight to the end of the Cold War and consequent "resurgent of ethnic hatreds," but that the United States and other NATO powers contributed to that resurgence by their own actions (e.g., helping dismantle the Soviet Union and pressing Russian "reform"; positively encouraging Slovenian and Croatian exit from Yugoslavia and the breakup of that state, and without dealing with the problem of stranded minorities, etc.) is completely unrecognized. The Times then goes on to blame terrorism on "religious fanaticism...the anger among those left behind by globalization," and the "distaste of Western civilization and cultural values" among the global dispossessed. The blinders and self-deception in such a statement are truly mind-boggling. As if corporate globalization, pushed by the U.S. government and its closest allies, with the help of the World Trade Organization, World Bank and IMF, had not unleashed a tremendous immiseration process on the Third World, with budget cuts and import devastation of artisans and small farmers. Many of these hundreds of millions of losers are quite aware of the role of the United States in this process. It is the U.S. public who by and large have been kept in the dark. Vast numbers have also suffered from U.S. policies of supporting rightwing rule and state terrorism, in the interest of combating "nationalistic regimes maintained in large part by appeals to the masses" and threatening to respond to "an increasing popular demand for immediate improvement in the low living standards of the masses," as fearfully expressed in a 1954 National Security Council report, whose contents were never found to be "news fit to print." In connection with such policies, in the U.S. sphere of influence a dozen National Security States came into existence in the 1960s and 1970s, and as Noam Chomsky and I reported back in 1979, of 35 countries using torture on an administrative basis in the late 1970s, 26 were clients of the United States. The idea that many of those torture victims and their families, and the families of the thousands of "disappeared" in Latin America in the 1960s through the 1980s, may have harbored some ill-feelings toward the United States remains unthinkable to U.S. commentators. During the Vietnam war the United States used its enormous military power to try to install in South Vietnam a minority government of U.S. choice, with its military operations based on the knowledge that the people there were the enemy. This country killed millions and left Vietnam (and the rest of Indochina) devastated. A Wall Street Journal report in 1997 estimated that perhaps 500,000 children in Vietnam suffer from serious birth defects resulting from the U.S. use of chemical weapons there. Here again there could be a great many people with well-grounded hostile feelings toward the United States. The same is true of millions in southern Africa, where the United States supported Savimbi in Angola and carried out a policy of "constructive engagement" with apartheid South Africa as it carried out a huge cross-border terroristic o
[CTRL] E Bombs
-Caveat Lector- E-bombs from Popular Mechanics Magazine Source: http://popularmechanics.com/science/military/2001/9/e-bomb/print.phtml E-BOMB In the blink of an eye, electromagnetic bombs could throw civilization back 200 years. And terrorists can build them for $400. BY JIM WILSON The next Pearl Harbor will not announce itself with a searing flash of nuclear light or with the plaintive wails of those dying of Ebola or its genetically engineered twin. You will hear a sharp crack in the distance. By the time you mistakenly identify this sound as an innocent clap of thunder, the civilized world will have become unhinged. Fluorescent lights and television sets will glow eerily bright, despite being turned off. The aroma of ozone mixed with smoldering plastic will seep from outlet covers as electric wires arc and telephone lines melt. Your Palm Pilot and MP3 player will feel warm to the touch, their batteries overloaded. Your computer, and every bit of data on it, will be toast. And then you will notice that the world sounds different too. The background music of civilization, the whirl of internal-combustion engines, will have stopped. Save a few diesels, engines will never start again. You, however, will remain unharmed, as you find yourself thrust backward 200 years, to a time when electricity meant a lightning bolt fracturing the night sky. This is not a hypothetical, son-of-Y2K scenario. It is a realistic assessment of the damage the Pentagon believes could be inflicted by a new generation of weapons--E-bombs. The first major test of an American electromagnetic bomb is scheduled for next year. Ultimately, the Army hopes to use E-bomb technology to explode artillery shells in midflight. The Navy wants to use the E-bomb's high-power microwave pulses to neutralize antiship missiles. And, the Air Force plans to equip its bombers, strike fighters, cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles with E-bomb capabilities. When fielded, these will be among the most technologically sophisticated weapons the U.S. military establishment has ever built. There is, however, another part to the E-bomb story, one that military planners are reluctant to discuss. While American versions of these weapons are based on advanced technologies, terrorists could use a less expensive, low-tech approach to create the same destructive power. "Any nation with even a 1940s technology base could make them," says Carlo Kopp, an Australian-based expert on high-tech warfare. "The threat of E-bomb proliferation is very real." POPULAR MECHANICS estimates a basic weapon could be built for $400. ILLUSTRATION BY JOHN BATCHELOR An Old Idea Made New The theory behind the E-bomb was proposed in 1925 by physicist Arthur H. Compton--not to build weapons, but to study atoms. Compton demonstrated that firing a stream of highly energetic photons into atoms that have a low atomic number causes them to eject a stream of electrons. Physics students know this phenomenon as the Compton Effect. It became a key tool in unlocking the secrets of the atom. Ironically, this nuclear research led to an unexpected demonstration of the power of the Compton Effect, and spawned a new type of weapon. In 1958, nuclear weapons designers ignited hydrogen bombs high over the Pacific Ocean. The detonations created bursts of gamma rays that, upon striking the oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere, released a tsunami of electrons that spread for hundreds of miles. Street lights were blown out in Hawaii and radio navigation was disrupted for 18 hours, as far away as Australia. The United States set out to learn how to "harden" electronics against this electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and develop EMP weapons. America has remained at the forefront of EMP weapons development. Although much of this work is classified, it's believed that current efforts are based on using high-temperature superconductors to create intense magnetic fields. What worries terrorism experts is an idea the United States studied but discarded--the Flux Compression Generator (FCG). A Poor Man's E-Bomb An FCG is an astoundingly simple weapon. It consists of an explosives-packed tube placed inside a slightly larger copper coil, as shown below. The instant before the chemical explosive is detonated, the coil is energized by a bank of capacitors, creating a magnetic field. The explosive charge detonates from the rear forward. As the tube flares outward it touches the edge of the coil, thereby creating a moving short circuit. "The propagating short has the effect of compressing the magnetic field while reducing the inductance of the stator [coil]," says Kopp. "The result is that FCGs will produce a ramping current pulse, which breaks before the final disintegration of the device. Published results suggest ramp times of tens of hundreds of microseconds and peak currents of tens of millions of amps." The pulse that emerges makes a lightning bolt seem like
[CTRL] Teaching Them to Hate Us
-Caveat Lector- - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "ETH list # 1" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2001 6:29 PM Subject: Teaching more millions to hate us Teaching more millions to hate us By Jared Taylor On September 11, President George W. Bush explained to us on national television that "America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world." Two days later, he spoke of terrorists who "hate our values" and "hate what America stands for." The next day, at the National Cathedral, he said, "They have attacked America, because we are freedom's home and defender." If that were indeed what motivated the men who flew airplanes into the Pentagon and World Trade Center, there would be reason for the huge military operation President Bush now tells us we need in order to "whip terrorism." But what the president said about the attacks is not just nonsense; it is dangerous nonsense. If our country believes him, and we go to war against Islamic fundamentalism, we will succeed only in adding millions more to the millions who already hate us, and some of them will launch yet more attacks on us, perhaps even worse than the ones we have just suffered. Does President Bush really imagine Osama bin Laden saying to his men: "Those Americans are just too damn free; they've got too much opportunity. Let's kill as many as we can"? The idea is absurd. Islamic militants have a grudge against us because of our attacks on Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, and the Sudan. But the main reason they hate us and want to kill us is that we support Israel. Can anyone deny that if we were not Israel's enthusiastic backer those thousands of Americans would still be alive? It is no coincidence that the two nations against which suicide attacks are now launched are the two nations out of 160 that walked out together from the Durban racism conference in defense of Israel. To Muslim fundamentalists we and Israel are one and the same, and we have given them ample reason to think so. Fundamentalists dislike us for what we =are,= but they hate us and kill us for what we =do.= They despise our loose sexual standards, and many of them have not forgotten the Crusades, but that does not make them mad enough to kill us. They kill us because we support and finance a country they see as having been illegitimately carved out of the very flesh of their Islamic kinsmen. With so much at stake, it is vital that we not be confused about what motivates the terror we plan to combat. If there really were something about the essential nature of the United States that made people try to kill us, the president's plans would be justified. Congress would be right to appropriate an emergency $20 billion for a war against Islamic terrorism. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz would be right to promise, as he did on September 13, a "sustained and broad" campaign on the scale of the Gulf War. The Senate would be right to authorize the president, as it did on September 14, to use "necessary and appropriate force" to retaliate. But that analysis is wrong, and acting on it will bring calamity. The real question is: Why have we so obviously chosen sides in a bitter, decades-long fight in the Middle East? Is Israel so clearly in the right that we should risk the hatred of half the world in order to support it? With the risks so great, we should understand what we are doing with perfect clarity. If we go to war, it will not be because we are the land of freedom and opportunity, but because we are the best friend and benefactor of Israel. Should we go to war for Israel? Should we spend $20 billion to kill Muslims, and thereby expose our cities to inevitable reprisal for the sake of Israel? There had better be convincing answers to those questions, but no one is even asking them. Americans are prepared to kill and die for America; they will think twice about killing and dying for Israel. Surely, it is because he dares not say thousands of Americans have just died because of Israel that President Bush invents preposterous motives for the men who killed them. But even if Americans were prepared to fight for Israel, a war to "whip terrorism" will only =whip up= terrorism. Israel has responded with great force to terror attacks, and the fury this provokes among Palestinians leads only to more terror. What we are planning will have the same effect, except that the terror will be directed at us. Of course, there is a way Israel could end all Palestinian terror attacks. It need only act on the principle President Bush announced on September 11: to make "no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them." By that terrible logic, Israel should exterminate every Palestinian -- it has the means to do that. By that logic we should exterminate every Iraqi, Afghani, Yemeni, and

[CTRL] The Seeds of Terrorism
-Caveat Lector- The Seeds of Terrorism Excerpt from the talk We Are All Intimately Related by Wulf Zendik 1985 "If there is pain and dissension and hunger in the world and you try to ignore it or just cavalierly, philosophically permit it, its going to come and get you. Its going to come and destroy you. I dont care how many followers you have, how small or big your empire is, how many canoes or battleships or whatever you have, how many arrows or nuclear weapons, whatever you have, that pain and privation and suffering from your fellow human beings will smash your defenses and get to you. A Genghis Khan will come riding out of the north night and mow you downbecause they have nothing to lose but their emotional and physical pain and their sufferingand maybe their starving. Now that sounds like its on a very pragmatic political have-and-have-not level. But on any level, like in the Ecolibrium sense, in the Zendikian sense, philosophically, metaphysically, you cannot get away with it. The Infinite Psychic Field, the whole psychic realm, is a great vibrational web of communication. It permeates the Universe and every thought, every feeling, every pain, every lust is recorded there. And its felt by everything, by all life, simultaneously. Its instant. And nobody gets away with anything. Were all really intimately related, all parents and children, brothers and sisters, not only to each other but to everything. OK, but to keep this simple and comprehensible, Im just talking about the human animal now. Im saying you cant get away with defrauding the human animal with airhead religious philosophies and with international corporate manipulations of food supplies until the people are all just left stupid and starving. You cant get away with not caring about the other human animals destiny. Im talking about defrauding in any sense. You cannot figure, Im going to get mine, and fuck them! If you do, youre going to be that way in your relationships, with your man, your woman, your children. You have to be a loving, caring person. But to become that, to do that from out of that world of hate, chaos and destruction, that Old Society, that Old disOrder we were all formed by, well, you can only do it philosophically. You can only do it by adopting a loving, caring philosophythats what you throw out to others, your philosophy, its part of your aura. Its the sociologic aspect of your aura, and others Feel it, See it, and respond to its Truth and that, in turn, changes you and your emanations, changes you on every plane.

-Caveat Lector- --- Forwarded message follows --- US Warns Allies Possible Second Attack This Week Sunday, Sept. 23, 2001 TOKYO (Reuters News Service) The United States has warned its allies of a possible second round of attacks by the end of this week following the deadly recent strikes against New York and Washington, Jiji news agency quoted Japanese government sources as saying. The next round of attacks, if really launched, would be on an even greater scale than those on September 11, which killed more than 6,000 people, according to information provided to Japan by the United States, Jiji said. The news agency quoted the sources as saying on Saturday that the "means of terrorism" would be "more cruel and shocking" than in the September 11 carnage, when hijackers flew airliners into New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington. The targets of the possible attacks were unknown but possibilities included members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Pakistan, Jiji said. The government sources said attacks on Japan could not be ruled out since Tokyo has expressed support for U.S. retaliation against the September 11 strikes. The United States has judged that a second round of attacks, if carried out, is likely by the end of this week at the latest, the sources said. Japan's public security authorities have gone on heightened alert since receiving the information from the United States. Washington suspects that a group led by fugitive Saudi-born millionaire Osama bin Laden has been contemplating attacks using biological and chemical weapons, such as sarin nerve gas, for years, according to the sources. The United States has information that the group has already acquired small airplanes to spray bacteria causing smallpox or anthrax from the air, Jiji quoted the sources as saying. Time magazine reported on Saturday that investigators had found a crop-dusting manual during a search for those responsible for the attacks on New York and Washington, triggering concern that crop- dusting planes might be used for chemical or biological assaults. The FBI in Washington said it had not seen the report and had no comment on it. --- End of forwarded message --- -- Best wishes Suppose they gave a war and nobody came?

Where is Chandra Levy? Well, where are the bodies of over 5,000 people - gone with the wind never to be seen again. And that short fat dumpy Jerry Falwell - the sins of the sodomists visited upon the innocents ? Well it does not work that way.and he can take that God Bu$ine$$ and shove it - he and Larry Flynt deserve each other for now is the time to take a good look at both of them. So What did Dirty Harry Do? And please, no more Stevie Wonder - anything but that and that We Are the World shit. Saba Gary Condit should be tried for criminal neglect in office.hooked up to agriculture wonder if he knows anything abut the crop dusting which was mentioned on list earlier. Every pesticide company in this country is on alert too without a doubt, ready and able to go into chemical warfare. What was that in Isaiah? Will bring a deep sleep upon the people? More drugs - anyway with the Taliban Buddists destroyed, which went first - the Buddahs or the Opium fields? And if the want Osama bin Laden - too late.

[CTRL] Expose'' Reveals Abortion Practitioner Molested Women (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- Expose' Reveals Abortion Practitioner Molested Women Source: Phoenix New Times; September 20, 2001 [Note: The following expose' reveals the twisted behaviors of a Phoenix, Arizona abortion practitioner who allegedly molested numerous women. It includes some graphic sexual language that is not appropriate for children. The names of the women who filed police reports against abortion practitioner Brian Finkel have been changed to protect their privacy.] Carol awoke in her Phoenix home on the morning of March 1, 2000, dreading the ordeal ahead. "I'm a grown adult," she says, "and I had made an informed, big-adult decision with my boyfriend. But it wasn't going to be easy." The single mother, who's in her mid-30s, had decided to have an abortion. She made an appointment with the Metro Phoenix Women's Clinic, owned and operated by Dr. Brian Finkel. One of the nation's most visible abortion doctors, the outspoken Finkel long has been a lightning rod in the bitter debate over a woman's right to choose. But Carol says she wasn't concerned about the philosophical pros and cons of abortion. She just wanted to have the procedure done safely, so she could get back to work as an x-ray technician at a local hospital. Carol's boyfriend came with her to the clinic, where she signed in under her maiden name (she's divorced) to protect her privacy. Her boyfriend stayed in the waiting area when she stepped into the clinic's inner sanctum. It was in the latter, Carol says, where Brian Finkel sexually abused her, both before and after performing the abortion. She says Finkel repeatedly rubbed her clitoris during a pre-operation pelvic exam, after alerting her that he might touch it. Carol also claims the doctor instructed her to keep her breasts bared during the abortion, which she says she doesn't remember because of an injection Finkel gave her. Carol says she awoke after the abortion to find Finkel fondling her breasts in a manner that, to her, was sexual, not medical. She says a female medical assistant was in the room when Finkel allegedly touched her clitoris, but that the doctor was alone with her when he fondled her breasts. Carol says she immediately told her boyfriend what had happened, then called Phoenix police from Finkel's parking lot. Phoenix sex-crimes detective Arthur Haduch met with her later that day, then spent the next few months investigating the case. "[Finkel had] both hands on either breast, cupping them, fondling them and rubbing/massaging them in a circular motion," Haduch wrote in a report that summarized the allegations. The investigation included a May 12, 2000, interview with Finkel. According to Haduch's report, "I told Finkel of . . . the reported manipulation of the clitoris. Finkel states that is not happening . . . I tell Finkel that a woman would know when her clitoris is touched, and what is proper and what is not." The doctor steadfastly denied wrongdoing, as he did in a recent interview with New Times. "I don't like my integrity being challenged," Finkel told the newspaper September 4. "I've gone out of my way to be hyper-vigilant, to protect myself from specious allegations such as this one and others." The "others" include five women who have made similar allegations of sexual misconduct against the doctor to police, dating back to 1991. One of the women -- a 24-year-old Phoenix resident we'll call Julie -- told police in early 2000 that Finkel had rubbed her clitoris, then licked her genitals briefly during a pre-abortion examination. Though none of the previous complaints against the doctor had resulted in prosecution, Detective Haduch concluded in a June 2000 report that, "Based on the information, Dr. Finkel has established a history of molesting his patients during his abortion procedures." The detective recommended that the Maricopa County Attorney's Office prosecute Brian Finkel on charges of sexual assault and sexual abuse. That office assigned its own investigator, Mark Stribling, to look into the case. But Stribling, a retired Phoenix homicide cop, was swamped last year working on another case involving an abortion doctor, John Biskind. Biskind was convicted in February of manslaughter in the 1998 death of a Phoenix woman after her late-term abortion at the now-defunct A-Z Women's Center. Stribling investigated the Finkel case when he could, and conducted his own interviews with Carol and other alleged victims. Carol says Stribling told her months ago that he'd give his full attention to Brian Finkel after Biskind's sentencing -- which was in May. Still, prosecutors haven't sought a grand jury indictment against the doctor. "We are actively following up on a submittal from Phoenix police [Detective Haduch] concerning allegations regarding Dr. Finkel," Stribling says. "That's all we're going to say publicly." Finkel tells New Times he's stunned that authorities still are investigating him. He blames disgruntled ex-employees, the anti

-Caveat Lector- http://lcnp.org/disarmament/metaphor%20into%20reality.htm The Lawyers Committee of Nuclear Policy Inc. War: Metaphor into Reality September 19, 2001 by Peter Weiss [ Peter Weiss is President of the Lawyers Committee on Nuclear Policy and of the International Association of Lawyers Against Nuclear Arms] Inter arma silent leges. When force speaks, the laws are silent. And the more brutal the force, the more complete the silence of law. This is what most people believe, and after the events of September 11 it is hard to blame them. But law, particularly the law of war and peace, does not march solely to the drumbeat of daily life. If it cannot keep pace with extraordinary events in the worst of times, it loses its capacity to govern, to provide the order that is associated with law. Lawyers must therefore, at times, swim against the tide of public opinion and remind an outraged populace that even "a war to rid the world of evil" is subject to the laws of war, both ius ad bellum, which governs the right to go to war, and ius in bello, which governs the conduct of war. The first question, then, is, what is war? According to Lassa Oppenheim, one of the giants of international law, "War is a contention between two or more States through their armed forces, for the purpose of overpowering each other, and imposing such conditions of peace as the victor pleases". A terrorist attack, no matter how heinous, committed by non-state actors, is not a casus belli, an "act of war", except in a metaphorical sense. It therefore cannot justify a state resorting to war against another state in response to the attack, unless the other state's responsibility for the attack has been unambiguously established. But, as is clear from the statements of the President and other high officials, no such responsibility has been proved, except again in a metaphorical sense. They speak of making war against countries that "support", "tolerate" or "harbor" terrorists. Saudi Arabia refuses to this day to extradite the eleven men indicted in the 1996 attack on the Khobar Towers, in which 19 US airmen were killed and 370 injured. Does this mean that Saudi Arabia is supporting terrorists and that we are or will be at war with Saudi Arabia? A recent study by the Congressional Research Service alleges that Osama Bin Laden's organization has bases or tentacles in 37 countries. Are we, or will we be, at war with all of them? Nor is it possible to declare war against an unidentified enemy, which is essentially what the President and the Congress have done in the aftermath of the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Yet, both psychologically and legally, the use of war terminology has grave consequences. Psychologically, as shown by the WAR banner headlines in the days following September 11, it creates a mood of "follow the leader, wherever he may lead" and makes bloodthirsty monsters out of normally decent citizens. As one correspondent said in the Letters column of the New York Times on September 18, "It is not enough to wipe out Afghanistan . I will be satisfied with nothing short of a sweeping and devastating assault on all those countries that train, finance and protect those whose stated goal is the slaughter of Americans." Legally, a state of war triggers all sorts of undesirable consequences. At the level of international law, the proclamation of a state of emergency, which is normally less than a state of war, allows a state party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, such as the United States, to "derogate" from its obligations under the Covenant in respect of several basic human rights, including freedom from forced labor, the right to bring habeas corpus proceedings, freedom of movement, equality before the law and freedom from arbitrary arrest. A de facto, or functionally equivalent, declaration of war, followed by acts of war, naturally triggers the right of self-defense by any state affected. The Taliban has already prepared the Afghan people to fight a holy war against the United States, once the US makes good on its promise to "end" that state. Every other state against which military action is taken by the global antiterrorist coalition in the making will consider itself entitled to respond with armed force against any member of the coalition. The US, with its farflung global outposts, military and otherwise, and its long list of potential target states, is particularly vulnerable in this respect. Thus, conducting the impending - and necessary - antiterrorist operation under the banner of war legitimates the cycle of violence, which it is sure to spark. Proceeding under a flag of war will of course also have, indeed has already had, grave consequences in terms of domestic constitutional law. While President Bush has not formally invoked the War Powers Act - Presidents hardly ever do - Congress has made it unnecessary for him to do so and has approved in advance the unchar

First of all a thank you those who post articles to this site. These articles help all of us make sense of the world around us. Trying to synthesize information from the generally accepted news sources, information from alternative news sources which may be accurate and alternative news sources which are disinformation is very much like high wire walking on a mental level, but getting to the other side and finding a new perspective on situations is well worth the effort. Two questions: Has anyone come across interviews dealing with September 11th with Yossef Bodansky who wrote a book on Bin Laden called The Man Who Declared War On America. The book was recommended but I haven't been able to obtain a copy. Second, I don't think this fits into conspiracy theory, but I downloaded the free trial of ZoneAlarm and started following up thru Who Is on the addresses given of those who try to gain entry. The program has been stopping about sixty addresses a day. A day or two ago I decided to follow up on some of the addresses given and was surprised to see that most come from all over the globe...London, Australia,China, Chile, Brazil and some do come from the US. Is there an article I can find on what is occurring? An article that would also tell me why AOL would be trying to access my computer 14 times in such a secretive way in the past 4-1/2 hours? I did contact AOL but was just shifted from person to person. There probably is a very benign explanation for all of this, but I don't know where to look.

King Fahd Bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia has been secretly flown out of the kingdom to his palace in Geneva, Switzerland. DEBKAfile reports this breaking news exclusively from its Gulf and Middle East sources. The royal mobile hospital fitted aboard Boeing 757 HZ-HMED landed in the private VIP section of Geneva airport Wednesday afternoon, September 19. A palace conclave led by Crown Prince Abdullah, who effectively rules the kingdom, decided to remove the chronically ailing monarch to safety, fearing he might be stranded in the middle of a military crisis arising from the impending US offensive in the region. The royal hospital plane was accompanied by another craft of the royal flight carrying the king's family and entourage. The possibility of a major terrorist attack on the royal palaces being sparked by the outbreak of hostilities was also taken into account in Riyadh. A group of princes was therefore carried to a safe place in the additional fleet of 10 royal aircraft that ferried members of the Saudi royal family to Geneva. More than a dozen Mercedes waited on the tarmac of Geneva International Airport to collect the royal arrivals. According to DEBKAfile's sources, the Saudi royal airlift, which began Tuesday night, September 18, is still in progress. Two more private royal planes are expected in the VIP section of Geneva airport Saturday. US Bereft of Arab Coalition After Saudi Arabia Backs out The United States has delayed the start of its offensive against Afghanistan and Osama Bin Laden, in retaliation for the terrorist strikes in New York and Washington, because of a dramatic turnaround of Arab support in the Middle East, DEBKAfile's Gulf and Washington sources report. Saturday afternoon, it became clear that events in Riyadh had dealt the final deathblow to the US Secretary of State, Colin Powell's failed efforts to create an Arab front to bolster the Bush administration's world war on terror. The reason for King Fahd secret exit from Saudi Arabia, followed by a large royal party (see earlier DEBKAfile World Exclusive on this page), is believed by our most reliable sources to be a palace revolution sparked by differences in the royal family over support for the US offensive against Afghanistan, Osama Bin Laden's terror network and other rogue targets. King Fahd and his Sudeiri faction, including defense minister Sultan, were in favor of letting the US place assault forces in forward bases on Saudi soil; the conservative, religious Crown Prince Abdullah, who runs the kingdom since King Fahd became ill, overruled him, backed by the religious establishment. As a result, Saudi Arabia refused to let the US use the kingdom's new combined air operations command center at Prince Sultan Air Base ne

Terrorism is the enemy, personified by Osama Bin Laden. But before America commits its treasure and risks the lives of its young men (and women) to this epic struggle, a few stables need to be cleaned and some unpleasant skeletons removed from government cupboards. Bill Gertz, writing in today's (9/18) Washington Times, proves conclusively that Osama bin Laden's terrorist network is thriving in Albania. [Read the article] It is not enough to bewail the fact that bin Ladens rise was facilitated by the hefty support he received from the CIA in the 1980's. At that early stage one could justify the policy--mistaken and shortsighted, as it turned out to be--by the dictates of the Cold War: your enemys enemy is your de facto ally, if not a trusted friend. Blowback was a risk, but arguably worth taking two decades ago. But if we are to take the war on terrorism seriously today, it is also necessary: To acknowledge that throughout the 1990s the Clinton Administration had tolerated, and effectively aided and abetted bin Ladens operations in the Balkans, long after he was recognized as a major security threat to the United States; To name the instigators of such policy in Washington, and to ensure that none of them remain in any positions of responsibility as President Bush plans his response to the recent outrage; and To recognize that the Balkan policy of successive U.S. administrations--the policy that had made this scandalous connection possible and, in a way, inevitable--was fundamentally flawed, and requires urgent revision. BIN LADEN AND BOSNIA In the aftermath of Americas Black September, it was confirmed in Sarajevo that the Muslim authorities of Bosnia-Herzegovina had issued a passport to Osama bin Laden at the Bosnian embassy in Vienna in 1993. The intention was obviously to facilitate the movements of a man who was fast acquiring the reputation of a dangerous terrorist. That the government in Sarajevo was sympathetic to Islamic militants is neither surprising nor remarkable, of course, but in this particular case there was an old debt to be repaid. Osama Bin Laden was an early supplier of weapons to the Bosnian Muslims. His early efforts in 1992-93 were known to the Clinton administration and quietly tolerated by it. He was given a free hand in the Balkans and eventually established a strong foothold in the heart of Europe, initially under the guise of humanitarian work. The facts of the case were known to the media. In the summer of 1996, the Washington Post confirmed that the Clinton administration knew of the activities of a so-called Relief Agency which was, in fact, funneling weapons and money into Bosnia to prop up the Izetebegovic Muslim government in Sarajevo. It was funneling troops, too. The mujahideen had first come to Bosnia in 1992 and numbered over 3,000 by the summer of 1995. They included volunteers from the Middle East, as well as deserters from the Turkish, Malaysian and French UNPROFOR units. They never took prisoners: wounded Serb soldiers were usually decapitated. Under the Dayton Peace Accords, all Islamic volunteers who fought with the Muslim government army were supposed to leave the country. An undisclosed number remained, however, having been given Bosnian citizenship and permanent residence. Several hundred had taken over what was the Serbian village of Bocinja Donja, in central Bosnia, and provided instruction to local Muslim forces in terrorist activities. They first attracted attention when on December 18, 1995--only a month after Dayton--a car bomb prematurely exploded in the central Bosnian town of Zenica. It was apparently meant for American troops stationed nearby, as revenge for the sentencing of Sheik Omah Abdel Rahman in connection with the World Trade Center bombing. Two months later, in February 1996, SFOR units raided the training center of the Bosnian governments secret police (AID), located near Fojnica. Several persons were arrested for preparing terrorist actions. It transpired that instructors from the Middle East were teaching AID officers how to disguise bombs as toys and ice cream cones. Only months later the Bosnian Connection started making an impact abroad. Reporting on the bombing of the Al Khobar building in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the New York Times reported on June 26, 1997, that several suspects had served with the Bosnian Muslim forces and were linked to Osama Bin Laden. From that point on the United States and its allies had complained periodically and ineffectually to the Muslim authorities in Sarajevo about the continued presence of the mujahadeen in Bosnia. By late 1999 this connection attracted further attention when U.S. law enforcement authorities discovered that several suspects who have visited or lived in Bosnia were associated wit

-Caveat Lector- @ http://www.rockfordinstitute.org/News/NewsTF092201.htm }}}>Begin September 22, 2001 THE AMERICAN JIHAD by Thomas Fleming These are dark days for America. The darkness is so thick and so deep that it blinds our reason and clouds our soul. In our fear we applaud the Presidents maudlin and adolescent speech as a masterpiece of presidential rhetoric, and in our frustration we are willing to strike out at any imagined enemy. The President, quite naturally, has to balance our alliance with Israel against the geopolitical reality of hundreds of millions of Muslims who control much of the oil resources on which his familys fortunes are based. But this balancing act should not require him to repeat the lie that Islam is a religion of peace. That is an insult to Muslims. Islam is a religion of war, especially of war against Christians, and if Americans do not tumble to that fact, there is no possible way of defending ourselves. Over and over, American journalists of every stripe are saying this struggle has nothing to do with religion. Ann Coulter is an exception. To punish the terrorists, she says, We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity, adding, We werent punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. Like the President, Miss Coulter cannot distinguish between Christianity and the religion of Islam, which not only sanctions but blesses terrorism. The leftist media watchdogs at FAIR, in reporting on statements made by this bloodthirsty little lady and macho men like Rich Lowry and Bill OReilly (who wants to blast them all, doesnt make any difference who gets in the way), observe that for many media pundits bent on retaliation it does not matter who bears the brunt of an American attack. Some people, at least, have not lost their humanity. In our lust for blood, perhaps we might pause a moment and reflect. What is the difference between the terrorists and us? They obviously think our policy in the Middle East in wrong, and our government (supported by a majority of the American people) think it is right. Is that the only difference? Obviously not. Because they are Muslims, they think it is right to kill innocent people in order to bring the war home to the enemy. We, those of us who call ourselves Christians, know that it is never right to do evil that good may come of it. The carpet bombing of Dresden was, on Christian terms, evil, and it was an evil unmitigated even by success. The intent was to alienate the Germans from their government, but the result was to convince many Germans that the allies were savages who would kill all of them if they won the war. Even Germans who hated the Nazis rallied to the defense of the fatherland. In Afghanistan and Pakistan and Iraq, there are many people who hate their governments policies, but they are to be slaughtered, along with the people who pay and train terrorists. None of those countries has anything resembling democratic institutions. We, however, have free elections, which make us theoretically responsible for the decisions made by our legislators and presidents. From the Coulter perspective, it is far easier to justify the attack on the World Trade Center than a war against Afghan civilians. If there really is no difference between the God who sent his son that we might have life and the Allah that justified robbery, rape, and murder, so long as the victims were infidels who stood in the way of the Prophets mission, then the Coulters and OReillys are right: Let us kill them all, take no prisoners, wade in the blood of women and children all the way to Baghdad. Hey, were USA, the greatest, the worlds only superpower. Of course we cant risk the lives of our brave fighting men and fighting girls, and if the dirty little savages fight back, then we should consider the nuclear option--a few clean little tactical bombs inserted surgically into the heart of Kabul and Baghdad ought to teach them a lesson. In time of war, we all lose our sense temporarily, and we are all tempted to defend the atrocities committed by our side. But such excuses are usually offered after the fact. What Ann Coulter, OReilly, young Rich Lowry, and old Bill Buckley are doing is to provide the moral justification for terrorism and murder in advance, before a single shot has been fired or a single civilian killed. They already, by intention, have innocent blood on their hands. Whether we like to admit it or not, we are caught up in a religious war. To be fair, the Muslims did not start it. We did--or rather our government did, though Miss Coulter would not allow such a distinction. But the genii is out of the bottle, and no Minister of the Interior (the proper name for the Presidents new agency to suppress our civil liberties) and no trillions of dollars spent on the military can stick the genii ba
[CTRL] THE Speech, in context
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.centrexnews.com/columnists/skousen/2001/0921.htm }}}>Begin THE BUSH SPEECH TO AMERICA: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS by Joel Skousen www.joelskousen.com WORLD AFFAIRS BRIEF September 21, 2001 Copyright Joel M. Skousen Quotations with attribution permitted. Tom Brokow, Peter Jennings and Dan Rather lavished rare praise President Bush following his Churchill imitating address to the nation. Everyone, it seems, is caught up in the lemming-like fervor to go to war against terrorism. Even Bush critic Pat Buchanan said after the speech that Bush has finally risen to the full stature of a President. I respectfully disagree. Everything about this speech was a fraud. Even at the expense of appearing unpatriotic, someone has to declare the truth: that the "emperor has no clothes." Bush is no Churchill. Churchill was a master of oratory. He wrote his own speeches. Churchill's resolve was real. The Bush "resolute look" was tutored and practiced for hours in front of speech specialists, helping him overcome many of the normal facial quirks that betray this President's amateurish personality and phraseology. Bush's speech was written for him by the slickest team of wordsmiths money can buy--none of whom have any princi ples. They write speeches based only on what will sell. Even if the words are true, the motives are not. They use a stock format developed to a fine art by the Clinton team during prior State of the Union speeches, includ ing: Carefully crafted generalities that promise something for everyone, and offend no one--all the while consciously omitting the specifics that would allow the listener to discern the contradictions with reality or principle s that underlie each statement. My intent will be to clarify those contradictions. Liberal use of emotional and patriotic catchwords and phrases, like God, prayer, liberty, and freedom, without any real correlation to a true devotion to these concepts that would make such references honest and without h ypocrisy. Praise for two or three token heroes brought into the galleries for special recognition. These people are being used for propaganda purposes and to provide images of support that leave no room for dissent or criticism. Th e Bush team predictably brought in the wife of a courageous passenger, the PM of Britain, a fireman, plus the Mayor and Governor of NY. Special emotional phrases meant to engender the spectacle of robot-like standing ovations at two minute intervals. So overdone is this mechanistic ploy that faces were dour at having to play along, and most hands were cla pping in only token enthusiasm. And yet not a soul could afford, politically, to be seen NOT standing and not clapping. Even Hillary would reluctantly clap, while carrying on a diversionary conversation with Chuck Shumer (D-NY). THE SUBTLE ERRORS, CONTRADICTIONS AND HYPOCRISY 1) In response to his query, "Who attacked our country?" Bush said, "The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations known as Al Qaeda. They are the same murderers in dicted for bombing American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, and responsible for the bombing of the USS Cole." This is possibly true, but the US really doesn't know this for sure. What this response does is purposely lead the listener to a specific blamable subject and allow the US to avoid hitting other terrorists that they have ongoing "arrangements" with. Indeed, it is impossible at this point to pin the blame on any single organizatio n because of the cross-connections between all Middle Eastern terrorist organizations. Most of the known hijackers can be linked with any one of half a dozen different organizations--so take your pick. Bush is selectively picking only one because it matches the need to go after Afghanistan and the Taliban, which have the fewest friends, internationally, and which provide the best opportunity for a big first military thrust that will make all this war hysteria justifiable. 2) To pacify the public about the long-term dangers of radical Islam, Bush said, "The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim cleric s, a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam. The terrorists' directive commands them to kill Christians and Jews, to kill all Americans, and make no distinctions among military and civilians, includ ing women and children." It is correct not to paint all Muslims as evil, but radical Islamic fundamentalism is far from a fringe movement. Indeed, it is very inaccurate to depict this radical movement as small and without support. It has broad based historical and doctrinal support going back centuries to when Arabs set out to conquer and forcefully convert whole continents. It has a huge following in all Islamic nations and threatens the balance of power within every country in the Middle East. I bel

[CTRL] DON'T EXPECT ANOTHER DRAFT, OFFICIALS SAY
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! DON'T EXPECT ANOTHER DRAFT, OFFICIALS SAY By NILES LATHEM -- -- September 23, 2001 -- WASHINGTON - Despite the mobilization of U.S. forces in the Middle East and Central Asia and the call-up of military reserves, the Bush administration says there is little chance of reinstating the draft for the upcoming war on terrorism. "The Selective Service System remains in a standby caretaker status," the Pentagon said in a statement last week. "At this time, there has been no indication from the Congress or the administration that a return to the draft will be necessary," it added. There hasn't been a draft since the Vietnam War. And although uncertainties exist about the nature and the outcome of the upcoming military operation against Osama bin Laden's terror empire, experts see little likelihood that civilians will be forced to serve in the future conflict. "This is not Korea or World War II or Vietnam. We are mobilizing for a completely different kind of conflict," said military analyst Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Peter Singer, military analyst for the Brookings Institution, added, "Unless this crisis somehow spins out of control and turns into an all-out war that will force us to occupy one or two nations, there is practically no chance there will be a draft." Experts say the United States anticipates no more than 20,000 to 50,000 servicemen and women will take part in the initial phases of the campaign, and only 35,000 reserves out of 1 million have so far been called into service. Pentagon officials and military experts say the kind of military operations being contemplated in the current crisis require smaller numbers of highly skilled servicemen and women. "This is a war that will involve intelligence and speed and skills conducted by sergeants who have master's degrees and ordinary troops who have had two or three years of training on very sophisticated weaponry," Singer said. Every "able-bodied" American male is mandated to register with the Selective Service System within 30 days after turning 18. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

[CTRL] Skolnick- The Overthrow Of The American Republic (Pt.1)
http://www.skolnicksreport.com The Overthrow Of The American Republic - Part 1 By Sherman H. Skolnick 9-23-1 Starting after the multiple bombings of the Federal office building in Oklahoma City, April 19, 1995, I wrote and then spoke on talk radio about an aborted military coup. Brought home to me, however, was the reality that my fellow Americans had little knowledge or understanding of the masterstroke, the overthrow of government, whether for the good or for evil. In the past, had we as Americans been clearly informed by the popular press of a putsch, the overthrow of government by violence, by political assassination, such as to benefit domestic or foreign powers? After all, who benefitted from the political assassination of President Abraham Lincoln if not the British and the French who held the means to swoop upon us at the time from their entrenched positions to the south and north of us, in Canada and Mexico. The British wanted to split apart the nation by aggravating the natural friction between the ideas of the North and the South in America. The French were ready to carve up America as well. Since at least the War of 1812, the British had plotted to take back this continent as a puppet colony with so-called "Americans" again as subjects of the British Crown. [To their credit, Czarist Russia at the time of the War Between The States, or as called, the American Civil War, attempted to aid Lincoln with the Czar's naval fleet coming right offshore the U.S.] Look what happened in the decades after the murder of Lincoln. President James Garfield was against the British controlling the growing financial power of the U.S. President William McKinley [the Brits hate the Irish] opposed the British trying to strangle the rise of American industrial power. Their political assassination in the years after that of Lincoln, in its simplest explanation, benefitted British attempts to grab back America. Seldom, if ever, are these events explained in this way. The Clinton White House with prior knowledge, allowed the Oklahoma bombings to occur, to restore his power following the debacle of the 1994 Congressional elections putting a GOP majority to confront him in Congress. And, with Clinton as a marionette, it aided the Establishment in their continuing propaganda to make common Americans helpless to oppose tyranny by disarming them. Two days before the Oklahoma bloodshed, on April 17, 1995, a plane-load of top military brass were murdered when their sabotaged plane blew up near Alexander City, Alabama. It was a real life version of "Seven Days in May". According to federal grand jurors we interviewed, there was an attempt, later blocked, by a grand jury to investigate this aborted coup. It was actually part of a series of events involving twenty four Admirals and Generals, some of the most patriotic flag officers in the history of this Republic. They vowed, under the Uniform Military Code, to arrest their Commander-in-Chief Bill Clinton, for his various acts of treason aiding and abetting sworn enemies of the United States, such as Red China and Iraq. If Clinton had them arrested for mutiny, they were prepared, if not assassinated, to defend themselves with their heavily documented charges of his treachery against the U.S. Constitution and the people of the United States. Some of the coup plotters, deciding to be out of uniform, took up residence in a Paris suburb. The French CIA, aware of all this, used it to blackmail advantages out of the U.S. government. Such as, to blockade the U.S. Justice Department, itself a highly corrupt entity, from prosecuting some fourteen French nationals, resident in the U.S., who stole U.S. industrial and financial secrets. [The French used similar blackmail threatening to publicize their knowledge of Iran's complicity in the missile attack on TWA Flight 800. Eight top officials of the French CIA along with some 60 other French nationals died in the plane that had been scheduled for Paris. A top official, however, of the French CIA at the last minute refused to board Flight 800. The Clinton White House had a secret business/peace deal pending with the Teheran oligarchs which the missile disclosures would have wrecked.] The purpose of several attempts to pull off a coup was NOT to install a junta [pronounced HOON-tah], that is, an evil military dictatorship. Rather, to restore by necessary force the American Republic, which has gone down hill since the overthrow, by the American secret political police, of the U.S. government, by way of the murder in 1963 of President John F. Kennedy. In the months and years that followed the Alexander City incident, some ten like-minded Admirals, Generals, and other officials and former officials, were assassinated. Such as, Admiral Jeremy Boorda, Chief of Naval Operations, the highest naval officer in uniform. Such as General David McCloud, head of the Alaska Military District. Such as, former Director of Ce
[CTRL] [www.washtimes.com] Intercepts foretold of 'big attack'
-Caveat Lector- [EMAIL PROTECTED] has sent you an article from The Washington Times. --- INTERCEPTS FORETOLD OF 'BIG ATTACK' Rowan Scarborough THE WASHINGTON TIMES --- The day before terrorists struck the United States, its intelligence agencies detected discussions between Osama bin Laden's lieutenants of an impending "big attack," a senior administration official says. The official said in an interview that the detection was not discovered until days after the Sept. 11 assault on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The time lapse is typical of intelligence analyses, in which computers sift through loads of that day's collection to find valuable material. The detection explains, the source said, why President Bush increasingly pointed the finger of blame at bin Laden in the days following the kamikaze attacks. The source said the discussions were between bin Laden supporters in the United States and senior members of bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist organization. As the U.S. military buildup continued yesterday in preparation for air strikes on bin Laden's adopted home of Afghanistan, the Bush administration has brought on board significant allies in its campaign against global terrorism. Military sources said Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, two former Soviet republics on Afghanistan's northern border, have agreed secretly to allow American special-operations troops to launch raids from their soil. The U.S. Air Force is now operating Predator unmanned reconnaissance planes in the region. The RQ-1 Predator relays instantaneous images via a satellite link. It is being used over Afghanistan to locate military targets and possible bin Laden hide-outs. Mr. Bush spoke to Uzbek President Islam A. Karimov on Wednesday in the administration's drive to build an international coalition against terrorism. The two Central Asian countries have a strong motive for helping the United States dislodge the Taliban from power. The extremist Islamic rulers of Afghanistan reportedly have tried to spur a militant Muslim uprising in both neighboring states. Pakistan, which borders Afghanistan on the south and east, has agreed to let American warplanes use its airspace. This means fighter-bombers on Navy carriers in the Arabian Sea would have a direct route to targets in Afghanistan. The Predator flies up to 140 mph and below 25,000 feet. Several were shot down during NATO's air assaults on Yugoslavia in 1999. This summer, a Predator failed to return from a spy mission over southern Iraq amid Baghdad's claims it had downed an American plane. A Pentagon official said at the time that, "The whole idea is to use them in high-risk areas. If you lose it, you don't lose a pilot." Officials also said that around Sept. 11, Afghanistan ordered the scattering of heavy military weapons, such as MiG jet fighters and tanks. "They are not where they used to be," said an official. "They moved them up into the hills." The Pentagon yesterday continued to direct what could be the largest deployment of weapons to the Persian Gulf region area since the 1991 war with Iraq. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has signed deployment orders for about 150 Air Force aircraft. The package includes heavy B-52 and B-1 bombers, F-15, F-16 and F-117 fighters, aerial refuelers, E-3 AWACs radar-surveillance aircraft and cargo planes. The Pentagon will not say where the planes will be based. Most will likely go to airfields in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, where American warplanes are stationed year-round. Some may launch their bombing runs from Central Asian countries. Two Navy carriers, the Carl Vinson and Enterprise, are in the region. Two others, the Theodore Roosevelt and Kitty Hawk, have been deployed and may join the other two in waters near Afghanistan. The Army is also moving ground troops in the form of special-operations soldiers. These will include elite Rangers, Green Berets and Delta Force commandos. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is starting to spend some of the billions of dollars in emergency funds approved by Congress. On the shopping list: new stocks of precision-guided munitions and improved surveillance equipment. Together, the systems would be used to locate and kill suspected terrorists. The deployment is adding up to a combined air-special operations war against the Taliban and bin Laden's terrorist network. The only way the Taliban militia seems able to defuse an attack at this point is to meet Mr. Bush's demands to turn over bin Laden and other terrorists. The Taliban yesterday rejected the president's demands. The U.S. alliance with Uzbekistan and Tajikistan means that a decade of forging military-to-military contacts with the Central Asian nations has paid off for Washington. In 1995, Uzbekistan and the United

[CTRL] Fury at plan to sell off DNA secrets
-Caveat Lector- http://observer.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,6903,556511,00.html The Observer Front page Fury at plan to sell off DNA secrets Leak reveals drug companies' demands | Britain's health files 'could be privatised' Special report: the ethics of genetics Antony Barnett and Gaby Hinsliff SundaySeptember 23, 2001 The Observer The genetic secrets of millions of Britons could be sold off to private drug companies under highly controversial proposals outlined in leaked government documents. DNA samples collected from patients during routine hospital treatment would be stored on a massive national database and auctioned to pharmaceutical companies, who could use the information to help develop lucrative new drugs. The idea has outraged campaigners who fear that such highly intimate information - DNA could reveal inherited health risks and personality traits - could potentially be leaked to the police, employers or insurance companies. Opponents say it would be a step to 'privatising' the nation's DNA. Health Secretary Alan Milburn, who has made clear his concerns about potential developments in genetics, formed a panel of medical and industry experts in April to advise on his forthcoming genetics Green Paper. But confidential minutes of its top-level meetings, passed to The Observer , reveal the pressure being exerted by biotech companies. Crispin Kirman, chief executive of the Bioindustry Association representing drug companies, warns that, unless the industry is allowed to use NHS data, Britain will become 'a third world genetics country'. Such warnings will be taken seriously by Downing Street, which wants to see Britain taking a lead in the new science. Over the next decade dozens of genetic tests are likely to be developed which identify predisposition to serious illness. A number of the confidential papers examine the role of the private sector, with Kirkman noting that 'the UK population represents a very high potential source for genetic research'. He praises Iceland's controversial sale of the genetic database of the country's entire population to a private company, and floats the idea of genetically screening the whole British population at birth and then again at 18. However, another adviser, bio-ethicist Baroness O'Neill, warns that proposals for a genetic 'smart card', like a credit card with an individual's genetic details imprinted on it, would cause public concern. Although the cards could be used by doctors to tailor drugs to patients, the concern is the information could easily be stolen. Other participants want to contract out genetic testing to the private sector, and allow biotech companies to offer genetic tests over the internet, raising fears that there will be no proper counselling for those receiving bad news. The possibility is also raised that people could test samples from third parties and use the results for blackmail. The minutes suggest that the section of the Green Paper dealing with industry should be placed at the back of the document 'to avoid giving the impression that commercial considerations are at the forefront'. Dr David King, co-ordinator of Human Genetics Alert, criticised the proposals. 'It appears that the Government is on the road to privatising the nation's DNA,' he said. 'Many of the ideas being floated are driven by commercial interests and profits with ethics given a walk-on part.' Baroness Kennedy, chair of the Human Genetics Commission - some of whose members are furious at being left off the panel - said she would have grave concerns about selling off DNA. 'This raises some very, very serious questions, and my commission will really want to look at that,' she said. 'It is the leaching of informa tion from one databank to another that is precisely what the general public is afraid of.' The Commission will tomorrow discuss in public its own draft report on the use of genetic information. It is expected to recommend an independent watchdog to oversee the police DNA database of samples taken from criminals, and tighter rules on consent to medical genetic tests, making it clear how and by whom results will be used. It will also back more rights for people found to be predisposed to illness, possibly by extending current discrimination law. Campaigners fear police and the medical establishment will face pressure to share database information, or that police could use DNA collected for forensic purposes to research genetic pre disposition to violence and other character traits. The latest proposals go well beyond last year's move by the Wellcome Trust and Medical Research Council to set up a gene databank of 500,000 individuals. Members of the panel declined to comment. A spokeswoman for the Department of Health said the meeting was a brainstorming session and no decisions had been made. 'The Green Paper will consider the social, ethical, scientific and economic issues of genetics,' she said. 'A wide-ranging discussion is underway for possible
[CTRL] Kremlin fears Central Asia tinderbox
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Kremlin fears Central Asia tinderbox By Ben Aris in Moscow (Filed: 21/09/2001) RUSSIA was still undecided over offering practical help to any American strike against Afghanistan because it fears that this could destabilise the whole of Central Asia. Igor Ivanov, the foreign minister, hinted on Tuesday that Russia might allow US forces to use bases in the former Soviet republics of Central Asia, but he seemed to step back from his remarks yesterday. The Kremlin is concerned that an attack on Afghanistan could fuel Islamic uprisings across the Central Asian states which still look to Moscow as the dominant power in the region. The most likely centre of operations the United States would prefer is Tajikistan, which has a large Russian base only 60 miles from the Afghan border. The Tajiks have only recently emerged from a five-year civil war and Russian troops are there to support the local government and ensure stability as much as to protect the border. The country is still troubled by outbreaks of violence led by regional warlords and disgruntled United Tajik Opposition guerrilla leaders, who oppose the current government. Thanks to the presence of Russian troops the Tajik government has regained some sort of control over the country. However, guerrilla fighters who have been backed into a corner during the intermittent fighting have begun spilling over the border into neighbouring republics. Last August, Kyrgyzstan was raided by Islamic rebels coming across the Tajik border. They captured a group of Japanese geologists who were looking for gold in the mountains and four US mountaineers who were on holiday in the region. With an economy reeling from sustained droughts and its people on the point of starvation in some southern areas, the tiny Kyrgyz army is ill-equipped to fight battle-hardened rebels or a sustained campaign against incursions. The spread of Tajik rebels has also worried Uzbekistan. North-west Tajikistan includes the head of the fabled Fergana valley, the only really fertile place in Central Asia. Alexander the Great passed through the valley on his way to India and commented on the abundance of melons and grapes, which still grow there. To add to the confusion almost all the regional nationalities are present in the Fergana valley with little regard for the political borders artificially created by Stalin decades ago. Kyrgyzstan also straddles the Fergana valley, the bulk of which lies in Uzbekistan. Afraid that rebels would pass down the valley into their country, the Uzbeks sent fighter planes into Kyrgyz territory last year to bomb rebel positions, to the outrage of the Kyrgyz government. However, the Uzbek fears are well justified as president Islam Karimov, a virtual dictator, narrowly survived an assassination attempt in December 1999 when Islamic extremists exploded five car bombs in Tashkent, the capital. Mr Karimov has tried to repress Islam in his country, but with only limited success. Samarkand, in the middle of Uzbekistan, is an important holy city in the Islamic world. Uzbekistan's large Muslim population is concentrated in the Fergana valley, the scene of frequent police raids where human rights groups say a man can be arrested for little more than having a beard. There is an uneasy peace but analysts have been warning for years of the "explosion of the Fergana valley", a popular and religiously motivated uprising against Mr Karimov's authoritarian rule. What the Kremlin and the leaders of Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan fear most is a flood of rebel fighters spilling out of Afghanistan and into their countries. This would be a spark to set off the tinderbox of religious dissent all along the Fergana valley. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

[CTRL] How To Devastate The World In 1 Easy Lesson
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/story.jsp?story=95386 Robert Fisk: How to devastate the world in one easy lesson 22 September 2001 The pilot looked at me as though I was a fool. "Eighteen months? You think it takes 18 months to learn how to fly a Boeing 757 once it's in the air?'' Far below us the clouds of northern Europe passed like a white screen. "I can teach you how to fly this plane in two minutes. At least I can teach you all you need to know in order to become a hijacker." We had already been through all that is wrong on a commercial airliner. The pilot's cabin door is a flimsy sheet of metal, easy to break open with a shoulder if the pilot should have locked it. Even now, most pilots keep the door unlocked, slipping out from time to time – when the co-pilot is flying – to talk to passengers or go to the toilet. "There's one thing we have to defend ourselves and that's this," the pilot said, pointing to a pouch on the wall. It was the emergency escape axe at the back of the flight deck. "The problem is, hijackers can use this on us if they get in quickly enough." The flight deck crew had made up their mind about what happened on the four hijacked airliners in the US. They were convinced that the killers had cut the throats of the pilots with their box cutters. "We should have reinforced iron doors with bars that go across to prevent access, and use the floor emergency hatch to leave the aircraft," he said. "Why should we have to allow access from the cabin?" The co-pilot had laid the maps across his lap. His colleague tut-tutted. "A hijacker doesn't need these maps,'' he said. "All he needed to do was code in the exact location of the World Trade Centre twin towers. On automatic pilot, the plane will follow those instructions, he switches off the transponder [which identifies the aircraft for ground control], this knob – and the plane will head for his chosen destination.'' The pilot leaned forward. The code word for the setting was punched in as "FISK" along with a series of numbers – the imaginary co-ordinates of down-town Manhattan (in this case, 123456789) – so that the plane would fly itself to its "target". "The hijacker probably couldn't put an airliner through a take-off – but he doesn't have to," the pilot said. "The hijackers in America let the flight deck crew do that. They wait until the 757 is at its cruising altitude, say 35,000ft, then they burst into the cabin, murder the pilot and take over. Most of their work has already been done for them." A pattern of lit-up towns emerge in the darkness below us. "Your hijacker has now reached the area west of New York, and he lets the plane take him to within sight of the city," The pilot continues. "Then he just presses this button to cut the automatic pilot and flies the plane himself. He can see the twin towers. In broad daylight it's easy – every pilot into New York would see the trade centre. Then he pushes the wheel forward and starts his dive." European pilots have already discussed the last moments of the two aircraft to hit the twin towers. They have studied the photographs, listened to the videotapes. On the flight deck of the plane on which I was travelling, the crew had a set of magazine photos of the last moments of the two American airliners. "On the videotape that was made of the first plane to hit, you can clearly hear the twin engines," the pilot says. "They are so loud that someone in the street looks up. They are overpowered, they were never meant to be flying the plane that fast, they are under immense pressure," and he makes a noise like a jet through his teeth. "The way the plane is plunging – he's pushing it down with the wheel [control stick] remember, it's now flying way forward of its permitted speed. I reckon that first aircraft hit the tower at maybe 900, even 1,000kph." The co-pilot suddenly asks: "You know why these people suddenly jumped from the windows of the building? That wasn't gasoline that had burned into the buildings, the kind you use in a car. That jet was carrying around 20,000 gallons of aviation fuel which is the same as kerosene.

-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! 'http://www.thisislondon.com/dynamic/news/story.html?in_review_id=458715&; in_review_text_id=410587">Grave robbers' looted shops under towers http://www.thisislondon.com/dynamic/news/story.html?in_review_id=458715&in_rev iew_text_id=410587 by Valentine Low in New York Shops and restaurants in the underground mall beneath the World Trade Center were looted in the days after last Tuesday's terrorist attack, it was reported today. New York detectives are investigating whether the looting, discovered by the National Guard, was carried out by rescue workers in the wake of the disaster. A warren of wide subterranean passageways beneath number 5 World Trade Center somehow survived the collapse of the twin towers, and it is believed the looting started soon after the fires in the upper storeys of the building were put out. Captain Vincent J Heintz, a commander in the New York National Guard, said the looting carried on into this week. "There have been people down here trying to steal from a mass grave," he said. "They are grave robbers." The looters picked through a Tourneau watch shop, raided cases of designer sunglasses in another store, tried to prise open at least one cash register and even got into the service room behind a row of cashpoint machines. However, the steel safes prevented them from making off with any money. Two men, one of them a former prison officer who was posing as a police officer, have already been charged with stealing two watches from the Tourneau shop. The intact shops and restaurants one level below ground were likened by the New York Times to a modern Pompeii - a moment in the life of New York frozen in time. The paper described how inside Sunglass Hut International, an employee's breakfast - "three link sausages and a moldy entree with a fork standing upright" still stood on the counter beside the cash register. The news-stands still hold stacks of the papers from the morning of the attack. At the cashpoint a customer's receipt for a $100 withdrawal - made at 8.51am on 11 September - protruded from the machine. Daniel Castleman, chief of the district attorney's investigations division, said the looting appeared to be limited to a few shops under one building. "It's not a situation of everyone walking in and stuffing their pockets," he said. "It could be one guy who was very determined, and got his hands on some merchandise. At this point we don't have evidence of who it was, when it was, or precisely what was taken, and the police department, understandably, has taken an interest in it." Deputy police commissioner Thomas Antenen said: "We arrested two looters last week, and have received these reports of other missing property. We are looking into it." Captain Heintz said: "They could have been police officers, they could have been firefighters, they could have been contractors or National Guardsmen." They were, however, unlikely to have been civilians, because it is virtually impossible for unauthorised people to get through the strict security surrounding the site. Platoon leader, 2nd Lt Peter Fluker, said: "It was calculated. It was done with crowbars and heavy equipment and some sharp, blunt objects that were used to smash open big doors and jewellery cases. They were rescue workers of some sort." *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

[CTRL] MI6 SPIES FIND EVIL BIN LADEN
-Caveat Lector- http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news/4326959 MI6 SPIES FIND EVIL BIN LADEN TERROR CHIEF: £18m reward for bin Laden BRITISH intelligence agents have discovered the position of terror chief Osama bin Laden. A specialist MI6 squad some working undercover in Afghanistan traced the Al-Queda leader to a desolate region close to the town of Jalalabad on the country's north-east border with Pakistan. PM Tony Blair's official spokesman last night confirmed: "Bin Laden is in Afghanistan. We know he is there, put it that way." When asked if Bin Laden's exact whereabouts had been identified, he insisted: "We know where he is." A senior Ministry of Defence source confirmed that intelligence agents have been "actively pursuing" Osama bin Laden in the north of the country. He added: "They have been given good information and are following it up. I understand Britain is leading the search." The vital new information was passed to Mr Blair by foreign policy adviser Sir David Manning and military adviser General Tony Piggott, as they flew to meet President George W Bush in Washington. Sir David is chair of the Joint Intelligence Commitee, effectively head of MI5, MI6 and the other secret services. Mr Blair then passed on the information to Mr Bush as they dined in the White House on Thursday night. The search for Bin Laden has been led by America's CIA using satellite technology. Elite But the remote passes of the Hindu Kush mountains, with their caves and underground passages, are almost impenetrable even to cameras in space. The CIA have NO agents on the ground in Afghanistan. But MI6 HAS maintained a small but specialised team since 1999. They are nicknamed The Golden Crescent Club' and work for the Global Issues Controllerate'. They are an elite unit of agents who usually investigate major drugs producers in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Turkey. But immediately after the September 11 atrocity in New York they were contacted and given new orders. They are the closest thing the intelligence services have to James Bond. They are even licensed to kill but only in self-defence. Downing Street last night refused to deny that Bin Laden has been located. But they said he is not yet under constant surveillance. Armed with the news, Bush and Blair finalised the details of a search and destroy mission to take out Bin Laden and his terrorist organisation. Meanwhile the US government has put an incredible £18 million reward on the head of Bin Laden and his gang dead or alive. Informants are even offered a place in the witness protection programme usually reserved for those who squeal on the Mafia and Cosa Nostra.

[CTRL] Ripples In The Presidential Gene Pool
http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,556133,00.html Ripples in the presidential gene pool What if George Bush Jr thinks he's compensating for his father? Mark Lawson Saturday September 22, 2001 The American ambassador to London, a friend of the Bush clan, mentioned in an interview this week that friends refer to the two presidential Georges in the family as "41" and "43", their numbers in the White House succession. Though it is an amusing anecdote, this detail touches on a small but potentially crucial peculiarity in the current international emergency. Because of the late age at which politicians peak, it has been normal for politicians to ascend to the presidency either as orphans or certainly fatherless. Even the uncommonly young Bill Clinton (aged 46 when he became what the Bush family would call 42) failed to disprove this rule, his dad having died before he was born. And so, in another example of history's liking for big effects, it happens that the first president in many years to have to worry about buying father's day cards has a pop who didn't have to be shown where the restrooms in the West Wing were. At the time of the younger Bush's "election", this column reflected on the disadvantages of dynasties. Not only did America face genetically descended weaknesses of speech and manner, but there was the psychological risk that both Georges would see themselves as avenging or completing the family's first, failed administration. These theoretical fears are now queasily real. For what were the odds that America's two echoing presidencies would prove to be the only recent pair required to fight a serious war and with one of the same declared enemies: Saddam Hussein? A photograph was taken at last week's memorial service in Washington of 41 giving an encouraging squeeze to the hand of 43, while Barbara Bush beams the satisfied smile of perhaps the only woman in two centuries to have seen two American presidents naked. This image was intended to be touching, but I think it emphasised the bizarre political and psychological circumstances which now apply at the White House. Because of the doubts about his character and election - which a series of elegantly written addresses have not dispelled - it's common for both 43's admirers and his detractors to voice the consolation that he has experienced people around him. But it's time to think hard about what it means that one of those advisers has the experience of having been his father and of being president. On the question of image, any paternal counsel given may have dangerous consequences. The court of George I believes that a large contribution to the loss of the White House was the perception that the president was a wimp. Despite the Texan address which he had acquired for oil and political reasons, America's leader from 1989 to 1993 was in essence a quail-shooting East Coast aristocrat. Photo-opportunities involving horseshoe throwing could never chase away the rumour of the silver spoon. His son does a better impression of a Texan, but the accusation of the family wimp-gene pursued him when, on the first day of the terrorist crisis, he seemed to cower in jet or bunker away from Washington. In any Polonius-like speech delivered by the first president Bush to his boy, a key instruction would surely be to sound as tough as possible. We may be hearing the evidence of this lesson in the president's frequent growling about smoking terrorists out of their holes. Fans of the Bush clan ask us to be glad that 41, a foreign policy expert, is on hand to chat to 43, who a year ago didn't know the name of the leader of Pakistan. But how pleased should we be? For it is the deepest regret of President George HW Bush that he showed restraint towards Iraq at the end of the Gulf war and failed to finish off Saddam Hussein. In 1991, American foreign policy was moderated by the shadow of a previous over-reaction in Vietnam. The danger now is the opposite: that military reaction may be inflamed by the perception of a previous under-reach. We may come to regret that the current US commander-in-chief's bloodline foreign adviser is almost bound to counsel the dangers of having any missiles left in the silos at the end. The consequences of some Freudian compensation for the failures of the father could be horrifying. There is, though, one area in which we should hope that a father-son dialogue is taking place. Attributed to the first President Bush is a joke which may have alienated some crucial rightwing voters. Entering a Republican party "prayer breakfast", he's alleged to have wisecracked: "I'm the only person in this room who's only been born once." This resistance to the biblical literalism of right-wing American politics could now be a useful cooling whisper in the ear of his son, who leads an administration packed with born-agains including himself and who may know too well the theology of Armageddon. Both 41 and 43 will be aware that there h
[CTRL] Saudi Arabia Rejects U.S. Request
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Sunday September 23 9:01 AM ET Saudi Arabia Rejects U.S. Request By TAREK AL-ISSAWI, Associated Press Writer DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Saudi Arabia, apparently concerned about possible strikes on a fellow Arab state, has rejected a U.S. request to use its air bases for an offensive against terrorism, a Saudi official said Sunday. In Washington, the State Department praised Saudi military cooperation and said it looked forward to continued assistance from the kingdom. A diplomat in Riyadh said the two sides were still negotiating. America is preparing to retaliate for the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States. Washington blames a pan-Arab network of Islamic militants led by exiled Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden for the attacks on New York and Washington that left more than 6,000 people missing or dead. Officials indicate a strike on Afghanistan, where bin Laden has found a haven, could come at any time. Saudi officials, though, say the United States cannot use the Prince Sultan Air Base, south of the Saudi capital Riyadh, for U.S. retaliatory attacks. Last week the commander of the U.S. Central Command's air operations, Air Force Lt. Gen. Charles Wald, shifted his operations from South Carolina to the base. ``Saudi Arabia will not accept any infringement on its national sovereignty, but it fully backs action aimed at eradicating terrorism and its causes,'' said the official, who refused to be identified further. A diplomat in Riyadh, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Saudis were negotiating with the United States over the anti-terrorism campaign. The concern appeared to be the possibility other Arab states would be targeted. In the past, Washington has accused Yemen, Sudan and Iraq of harboring terrorists. People in those countries now fear a U.S. attack. The Saudis were pushing for a multilateral campaign that would allow them some influence over the targets of American retaliation, the diplomat said. In Washington, a State Department official said Sunday that ``Saudi military cooperation with our international effort has been excellent.'' The official noted that President Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell have said ``there will be many facets to our international effort to bring to justice those responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks, including efforts in law enforcement, diplomacy and international finance. As we move forward, we will be looking to the Saudis and others for assistance in these efforts.'' The United States and Saudi Arabia have been close allies for more than half a century. U.S. troops have remained in the kingdom since leading the multinational coalition that ended Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1991 Saudi Arabia hosts about 4,500 U.S. military personnel and an undisclosed number of warplanes at Prince Sultan Air Base. U.S. warplanes patrolling a no-fly zone over southern Iraq take off from Saudi Arabia. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.

[CTRL] Intercepts foretold of 'big attack'
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Intercepts foretold of 'big attack' By Rowan Scarborough THE WASHINGTON TIMES The day before terrorists struck the United States, its intelligence agencies detected discussions between Osama bin Laden's lieutenants of an impending "big attack," a senior administration official says. The official said in an interview that the detection was not discovered until days after the Sept. 11 assault on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The time lapse is typical of intelligence analyses, in which computers sift through loads of that day's collection to find valuable material. The detection explains, the source said, why President Bush increasingly pointed the finger of blame at bin Laden in the days following the kamikaze attacks. The source said the discussions were between bin Laden supporters in the United States and senior members of bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist organization. As the U.S. military buildup continued yesterday in preparation for air strikes on bin Laden's adopted home of Afghanistan, the Bush administration has brought on board significant allies in its campaign against global terrorism. Military sources said Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, two former Soviet republics on Afghanistan's northern border, have agreed secretly to allow American special-operations troops to launch raids from their soil. The U.S. Air Force is now operating Predator unmanned reconnaissance planes in the region. The RQ-1 Predator relays instantaneous images via a satellite link. It is being used over Afghanistan to locate military targets and possible bin Laden hide-outs. Mr. Bush spoke to Uzbek President Islam A. Karimov on Wednesday in the administration's drive to build an international coalition against terrorism. The two Central Asian countries have a strong motive for helping the United States dislodge the Taliban from power. The extremist Islamic rulers of Afghanistan reportedly have tried to spur a militant Muslim uprising in both neighboring states. Pakistan, which borders Afghanistan on the south and east, has agreed to let American warplanes use its airspace. This means fighter-bombers on Navy carriers in the Arabian Sea would have a direct route to targets in Afghanistan. The Predator flies up to 140 mph and below 25,000 feet. Several were shot down during NATO's air assaults on Yugoslavia in 1999. This summer, a Predator failed to return from a spy mission over southern Iraq amid Baghdad's claims it had downed an American plane. A Pentagon official said at the time that, "The whole idea is to use them in high-risk areas. If you lose it, you don't lose a pilot." Officials also said that around Sept. 11, Afghanistan ordered the scattering of heavy military weapons, such as MiG jet fighters and tanks. "They are not where they used to be," said an official. "They moved them up into the hills." The Pentagon yesterday continued to direct what could be the largest deployment of weapons to the Persian Gulf region area since the 1991 war with Iraq. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has signed deployment orders for about 150 Air Force aircraft. The package includes heavy B-52 and B-1 bombers, F-15, F-16 and F-117 fighters, aerial refuelers, E-3 AWACs radar-surveillance aircraft and cargo planes. The Pentagon will not say where the planes will be based. Most will likely go to airfields in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, where American warplanes are stationed year-round. Some may launch their bombing runs from Central Asian countries. Two Navy carriers, the Carl Vinson and Enterprise, are in the region. Two others, the Theodore Roosevelt and Kitty Hawk, have been deployed and may join the other two in waters near Afghanistan. The Army is also moving ground troops in the form of special-operations soldiers. These will include elite Rangers, Green Berets and Delta Force commandos. Meanwhile, the Pentagon is starting to spend some of the billions of dollars in emergency funds approved by Congress. On the shopping list: new stocks of precision-guided munitions and improved surveillance equipment. Together, the systems would be used to locate and kill suspected terrorists. The deployment is adding up to a combined air-special operations war against the Taliban and bin Laden's terrorist network. The only way the Taliban militia seems able to defuse an attack at this point is to meet Mr. Bush's demands to turn over bin Laden and other terrorists. The Taliban yesterday rejected the president's demands. The U.S. alliance with Uzbekistan and Tajikistan means that a decade of forging military-to-military contacts with the Central Asian nations has paid off for Washington. In 1995, Uzbekistan and the United States signed an agreement to conduct joint military exercises. The former Soviet republic has hosted Army commandos who adv
[CTRL] Investigators Identify 4 to 5 Groups Linked to Bin Laden Operating in U.S.
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Investigators Identify 4 to 5 Groups Linked to Bin Laden Operating in U.S. No Connection Found Between 'Cell' Members and 19 Hijackers, Officials Say By Bob Woodward and Walter Pincus Washington Post Staff Writers Sunday, September 23, 2001; Page A01 Four to five al Qaeda groups have operated in the United States for the last several years, but investigators have not yet found any connection between them and any of the 19 hijackers responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks, according to government officials. The groups, called "cells" by the FBI, are under intensive government surveillance. The FBI has not made any arrests because the group members entered the country legally in recent years and have not been involved in illegal activities since they arrived, the officials said. Government officials say they do not know why the cells are here, what their purpose is or whether their members are planning attacks. One official even described their presence as "possibly benign," though others have a more sinister interpretation and give assurances that measures are in place to protect the public. Al Qaeda, Arabic for "the Base," is a loose confederation of extremist Islamic groups led by Saudi fugitive millionaire Osama bin Laden, whom President Bush and other government officials have publicly charged with responsibility for the New York and Washington attacks. There has been widespread fear and speculation about other al Qaeda groups in the United States, but officials say they have no specific information about their plans. "They are so good at compartmentalizing," an official said yesterday, noting and anguishing over the difficulty of finding clear links among the cells. The officials declined to identify the cities where the al Qaeda groups are located. Investigators are finding a highly unusual degree of discipline and patience in the groups, which usually number fewer than a dozen individuals. One of the central questions the FBI has been struggling with is why the groups have stayed in the United States. One official speculated that they could be here to gather intelligence or to support or execute terrorist attacks. It is also possible, the official said, the cells are here to earn money because the United States is one of the few countries where entry is easy and jobs are readily available. The members of al Qaeda have a level of commitment and zeal that is not easily understood in the United States. While in training, they sign an agreement called a bayat. They agree to go to a country on which a jihad has been declared and wait to be called upon to undertake a task, according to testimony at the recent New York City trial of bin Laden associates who were convicted of bombing the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. "You swear to agree about the jihad, listen to the emir . . . and do whatever work they ask you in group, you have to do it," said the government's prime witness, Jamal Ahmed Mohamed al-Fadl. "If they ask me to go anywhere in the world for specific mission or target, I have to listen. . . . They say when you make bayat and you agree about the al Qaeda and about the war, anything." The domestic al Qaeda groups operate in a similar fashion to the hijackers who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks: They stick together, moving among inexpensive hotels, motels and apartments, and keeping largely to themselves. Although officials have not connected these groups to the hijackers, they have made a connection among the four teams of hijackers. The FBI has identified Mohamed Atta, the 33-year-old Egyptian who authorities say piloted one of jetliners that hit the World Trade Center, as the main figure connecting the four teams of hijackers that commandeered the planes. One official called him "the axle" who apparently coordinated the attacks. The members of the al Qaeda groups in the United States were in some cases initially identified by the CIA through intelligence gathered abroad that connected specific individuals to bin Laden or the al Qaeda network. Under an agreement, the CIA passes this information to the FBI, which then launches investigations and surveillance within the United States. Over the last two years, the CIA has provided the FBI with approximately 100 names of people associated with the al Qaeda network who have entered the country legally in most cases. Over the years, some of the al Qaeda members and other identified associates of terrorist groups in the United States have been subjects of investigation, but their cases were closed because no crimes were uncovered. At least two of the hijackers, Khalid Al-Midhar and Nawaq Alhazmi, were on a watch list generated by this CIA-FBI liaison a month before the attacks. Officials said that those names were not connected to any other known bin Laden associates in the United States, including the four or five operating cells. "
[CTRL] TWO KNIFELIKE WEAPONS WERE FOUND ON TWO SEPARATE DELTA AIRLINES PLANES
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! MAG: TWO KNIFELIKE WEAPONS WERE FOUND ON TWO SEPARATE DELTA AIRLINES PLANES THAT NEVER TOOK OFF ON SEPT. 11TH Sun Sep 23 2001 09:01:21 ET New York -- U.S. officials are compiling what one called "growing" evidence that other hijackings may have been planned for September 11th. Officials from both the government and the airline industry tell TIME that a knifelike weapon was found on each of two separate Delta Airlines aircraft later that day, although neither plane took off due to the nationwide grounding after the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks on hijacked United and American airlines planes. This story appears in Monday's issue of TIME. MORE Government sources would not describe in detail the nature of the weapons found on the Delta flights last week, but one official disclosed that another weapon was discovered on at least one other aircraft, owned by a fourth airline. The government official refused to name that carrier. Investigators are not yet certain how these weapons came to be on board the aircraft. But they increasingly believe that the weapons may have been prepositioned by accomplices for use by others. As one US official told TIME, "These look like inside jobs." The new evidence is causing officials to broaden their investigative and security efforts to encompass not only the carry-on bag screening system but the entire aviation security apparatus at U.S. airports. The new evidence raises the worrisome possibility that the hijackers may have had accomplices deep within the 'secure' areas of airports -- that may include the shops and restaurants in the terminal behind the metal detectors, or amongst the thousands of people who work in catering, fueling or cleaning aircraft; or anyone who might have access to the airplane before takeoff. Partly as a consequence, officials tell TIME, the FAA ordered all U.S. airlines on Wednesday to immediately check every single employee on their payrolls against the FBI's watch list of possible suspects. The FAA is also expected to take other actions within days, including possibly revoking contracts with airport security companies or requiring background checks on all airport security personnel. The senior official confirmed that the air traffic system is on such a hair trigger that military jets have been scrambled more than a dozen times since Sept 11th to investigate other possible hijackings -- all of which turned out to be routine mistakes such as transponder problems, the temporary loss of radio contact between an aircraft and the air traffic controllers, or airplanes straying slightly off their intended flight paths.

[CTRL] Revealed: British plan for Afghan onslaught
-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Revealed: British plan for Afghan onslaught Kamal Ahmed in London, Peter Beaumont in Washington and Ed Vulliamy in New York Sunday September 23, 2001 The Observer BRITISH troops will lead an international coalition alongside America to wage war on Afghanistan in the next 10 days as security and intelligence sources indicated last night that the net was tightening on Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect behind the terrorist attacks on America. With an attack now imminent and American warplanes arriving in neighbouring Uzbekistan ahead of the first wave of strikes, security sources in Britain and America said that they were now concentrating their investigation into bin Laden and the al-Qaeda terrorist organisation in the north and west of Afghanistan. Five terrorist camps around Jalalabad will be the focus of the military campaign, which Ministry of Defence officials last night revealed was now in the 'final stages' of planning. Sources said that any action by ground troops would be preceded by bombing in the terrorist camps' region. There were unconfirmed reports last night that Special Air Service (SAS) troops were already in northern Afghanistan, working with the anti-Taliban alliance that controls the area. With America now on a war footing and Britain emerging as its most potent war partner, 13 British warships travelled through the Suez canal yesterday and steamed for the Gulf . In the largest military mobilisation since the Gulf War 10 years ago, the White House also revealed that a third aircraft carrier, B-52 bombers and warships capable of launching ground-attack Tomahawk cruise missiles had moved into the area to prepare for attack. Yesterday Bush chaired a National Security Council meeting to complete plans for military action, which could come as early as Thursday. Later today the President will join advisers from the special operations arm of the US Marines at the presidential retreat at Camp David. It is believed that the coalition force will be led by America with military support and troops from specialist units in Britain and France. Russia will provide logistical support. Tony Blair is on the verge of signing the order agreeing to the use of British troops. Britain and America now believe that bin Laden is still in Afghanistan, contrary to reports that he had fled to China or Chechnya. 'Bin Laden is in Afghanistan,' the Prime Minister's official spokesman said. 'We know he is there, put it that way.' His words reflected those of Colin Powell, the US secretary of state and key military planner in the White House, who said that there was a 'presumption' that the man who has become a hate figure for many in the West was still in the country. Although British officials said that the ultimatum to the Taliban authorities that bin Laden must be expelled from Afghanistan was 'open ended', it was made clear that with winter approaching military action needed to be rapid. It is believed that bin Laden is hiding in a network of camps in the north-west of Afghanistan. The camps at Darunta, Bhesud, Jaji-Maydan, Khost and Tani are well known to the CIA and could be bombed from the air. Senior Whitehall sources said that military programmes could only be put in place when 'the outcome was clear', a reference to Bill Clinton's policy of bombing Afghan camps with cruise missiles in 1998 - which failed to capture or kill bin Laden. Downing Street said that any action would now take a 'twin track' approach, with the first phase concentrating on finding bin Laden and breaking down the al-Qaeda organisation, and the second phase concentrating on the fight against world terrorism. In a clear indication that the Government is planning to put Britain onto a war footing, Downing Street has sent a request to all departments asking them to draw up legislation in case of 'national emergency'. Plans are being prepared in the areas of extradition, anti-terrorism legislation and crime to allow the Government to act more swiftly against people suspected of being linked to terrorist organisations. The move reflects similar action taken during the Gulf War when internment powers were used to imprison up to 100 Iraqis and Palestinians. Many later successfully sued the Government for wrongful imprisonment. The disclosure of the allied plans for war came as tensions in the region heightened dramatically yesterday. Despite earlier contradictory statements, officials from Afghanistan's ruling Taliban said they had established that their forces had downed a pilotless drone aircraft over Tashkurghan with machinegun fire as well as a helicopter near Dara-i-Suf. Both areas are in Samangan, about 150 miles north-west of Kabul, where the anti-Taliban commander General Rashid Dostum reported that his force of minority Uzbek fighters had made advances against the Taliban. Mystery surrounded the origin of the spy plane. A s
[CTRL] William Of Orange Funded By The Pope
http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/ William of Orange 'funded by the Pope' John Follain, Rome DOCUMENTS discovered in Vatican archives suggest that William of Orange, the Protestant hero who ascended the English throne in 1689, was in the pay of the Pope. William, known as "King Billy", has been revered by generations of Ulstermen for his part in driving James II from power and ending Roman Catholic rule in England. Three centuries later, his role is still celebrated in the name of Northern Ireland's loyalist Orange Order. In a new book, two Italian historians claim Innocent XI, who became pope in 1676, gave substantial amounts of money to William in the hope of securing himself a secret and powerful ally within the Protestant camp. The pontiff was apparently keen to see the end of James II, whom he regarded as being too close to Louis XIV of France, whose relations with the Vatican had long been poor. The book, Imprimatur, says the Vatican sent an estimated 150,000 scudi to William in the 1660s via intermediaries close to the wealthy family of Benedetto Odescalchi, as Innocent was known before he became pope. The amount was equal to the Vatican's annual budget deficit and equivalent to more than £3.5m today. The transfers are detailed in volumes kept for centuries in the cellar of a palace belonging to the Odescalchi family. They have recently been made available to scholars. "It's very likely the Pope went on supporting William because Rome disapproved of James's aggressively Catholic policies, and saw him as too close to Louis XIV of France, who clashed with Rome," said Francesco Sorti, co-author of the book. "The Vatican managed to keep the secret for so long by destroying many of the documents. It was simply impossible for the Roman Catholic church to admit that a pope had played an important role in the Glorious Revolution." The documents on which the book draws also show that William offered to repay the loan in 1689 by handing over to Rome his personal fiefdom of Orange in southern France. The Vatican rejected the offer, apparently because Innocent had died a few months earlier and it did not want his financial links with William to become public knowledge. Historians have long debated whether the Pope was involved in helping William's accession to the English throne. Cecil Kilpatrick, archivist for the Orange Order, acknowledged, however, that there had already been some embarrassing indications of ties between the two. "In the 1930s, a portrait of William against a backdrop of onlookers was installed at Stormont, the Northern Ireland parliament," Kilpatrick said. "They found that in the background there were various faces looking in, and one of them was Pope Innocent. They had to get rid of it." Irish historians said this weekend they were not surprised by the revelations. "The politics of Europe was in a state of flux, the Pope wanted his way, and if he had to support a Protestant, William, to get his way, why not?" said the Rev Brian Kennaway, a Belfast-based historian. Eamon Duffy, author of Saints and Sinners: A History of the Popes, agreed that the idea was a possibility. "It is widely accepted, because of James's indebtedness to France, that the Pope was actually relieved when James fell," he said. Others were more sceptical, however. "I can't see why the Vatican should fund William as early as the 1660s, given that his political opponents in the Dutch republic were more tolerant of Catholics than his supporters," said John Miller, a professor of history at Queen Mary College, University of London. Members of the Protestant community said the disclosures were unlikely to dent the reputation of William, whose forces' victory over James's army in the 1690 Battle of the Boyne is still celebrated by Northern Ireland's Protestants every July 12. "I don't think we're going to see any banners of King Billy being defaced as a result of this," said Ian Paisley Jr, a Democratic Unionist party member of the Northern Ireland assembly. "I think quite a lot people would say, well, he wiped the Pope's eye, we'll let him off - he got money out of him. It's good to take money off a person and then kick their arse, isn't it?"

Take some of this money and invest it in America - the people of America. Just don't hand me that crap about the Americ to sacrifice any more while so many prosper at our expense. Saba Middle East News Online By George Szamuely Antiwar.com Posted Friday March 9, 2001 - 04:45:09 PM EST There is something hilarious about the worldwide horror at the Taliban's proposal to destroy Afghanistan's Buddhist statues, including the two giant Buddhas in the central Bamiyan province. The Bamiyan statues date back to the centuries of Buddhist rule that preceded the arrival of Islam in the ninth century AD. Despite the protests, the Taliban are in no mood to hang about. Using anti-aircraft weapons, tanks and explosives, they have already destroyed large parts of the figures. Western leaders issued statements laced with piety and sanctimony. Up until two weeks ago none of them had even known that there were Buddhist statues in Afghanistan. Now they are all aficionados of museums. However, the last thing they want to be caught doing is expressing hostility towards Islam. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher called the ancient statues "an important part of the world's cultural legacy and the cultural heritage of Afghanistan . The United States joins...other governments in urging a halt to the destruction by the Taliban of a significant aspect of Afghans' cultural heritage." Following their meeting in Trieste, Italy, the environment ministers of the G-8 group of industrialized nations issued this gaseous statement: "Mindful that the diversity of natural and human systems is at the core of sustainable development, we express dismay and shock at reports of the edict of the Taliban leadership." "Afghanistan's rich cultural heritage," the statement went on, "is of vital importance not only to the people of Afghanistan but also to the world as a whole." The European Union too got into the act. In a statement issued in Pakistan by Sweden, the EU condemned the destruction: "The Presidency of the European Union strongly condemns this crime against the world's common heritage and deeply regrets that it has taken place in the name of one of the world's important religions." German Culture Minister Julian Nida- Ruemelin - inevitably - compared the destruction of the statues to the burning of books by the Nazis. "This is about a piece of global cultural heritage which the rest of the world cannot be indifferent to" he declaimed. UNESCO sent an emissary to Kabul to negotiate a "solution" with the Taliban. New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art offered to pay to have the giant Buddhas removed from the country. There has also been a proposal to build a giant wall in front of the statues so as to hide them from Islamic eyes. But Taliban Foreign Minister Wakil Ahmad Muttawakil dismissed these ideas. "We have all sorts of possibilities to maintain them or to keep them out of sight," he explained, "Our verdict wants their annihilation." His hands were tied, he explained. Any alternative to the destruction would fail to satisfy Islamic law: "Our decree is based on Islamic orders and we will spare no pre-Islamic or post-Islamic era statues." "World's cultural legacy," "global cultural heritage," "diversity of natural and human systems," "one of the world's important religions" - such grandiloquent phrases roll easily off the tongues of the guardians of the New World Order. Or at least occasionally they do. For the destruction of the Buddhist statues is hardly the first instance in recent times of Islamic intolerance towards other religions. For at least two years, Albanian Moslems have waged a systematic campaign to annihilate the "rich cultural heritage" - to use the appropriate phrase - of the Eastern Orthodox Church in Kosovo. This has taken place while the province has been under military occupation by NATO and under the nominal jurisdiction of the United Nations. Yet this destruction has evoked very little protest and virtually no condemnation. The Met has not offered to pony up some cash to save precious cultural artifacts. UNESCO has not rushed an emissary over to Pristina to undertake urgent negotiations with the KLA. The loss of Europe's Christian heritage clearly is a matte
[CTRL] Fwd: [911-Discussion] The Theatre of Good and Evil
The Theatre of Good and Evil By Eduardo Galeano from La Jornada September 21, 2001 Translated by Justin Podur www.zmag.org/weluser.htm In the struggle of Good against Evil, it's always the people who get killed. The terrorists killed workers of 50 countries in NYC and DC, in the name of Good against Evil. And in the name of Good against Evil President Bush has promised vengeance: "We will eliminate Evil from the world", he announced. Eliminate Evil? What would Good be without Evil? It's not just religious fanatics who need enemies to justify their insanity. The arms industry and the gigantic war machine of the US also needs enemies to justify its existence. Good and evil, evil and good: the actors change masks, the heroes become monsters and the monsters heroes, in accord with the demands of the theatre's playwrights. This is nothing new. The German scientist Werner von Braun was evil when he invented the V-2 bombers that Hitler used against London, but became good when he used his talents in the service of the US. Stalin was good during World War Two and evil afterwards, when he became the leader of the Evil Empire. In the cold war years John Steinbeck wrote: "Maybe the whole world needs Russians. I suppose that even in Russia they need Russians. Maybe Russia's Russians are called Americans." Even the Russians became good afterwards. Today, Putin can add his voice to say: "Evil must be punished." Saddam Hussein was good, and so were the chemical weapons he used against the Iranians and the Kurds. Afterwards, he became evil. They were calling him Satan Hussein when the US finished up their invasion of Panama to invade Iraq because Iraq invaded Kuwait. Father Bush that particular war against Evil upon himself. With the humanitarian and compassionate spirit that characterizes his family, he killed more than 100 000 Iraqis, the vast majority of them civilians. Satan Hussein stayed where he was, but this number one enemy of humanity had to step aside and accept becoming number two enemy of humanity. The bane of the world is now called Osama bin Laden. The CIA taught him everything he knows about terrorism: bin Laden, loved and armed by the US government, was one of the principal 'freedom fighters' against Communism in Afghanistan. Father Bush occupied the Vice Presidency when President Reagan called these heroes 'the moral equivalents of the Founding Fathers.' Hollywood agreed. They filmed Rambo 3: Afghani Muslims were the good guys. Now, 13 years later, in the time of Son Bush, they are the worst of the bad guys. Henry Kissinger was one of the first to react to the recent tragedy. "Those who provide support, financing, and inspiration to terrorists are as guilty as the terrorists themselves," he intoned, words that Son Bush would repeat hours later. If that's how it is, the urgent need right now is to bomb Kissinger. He is guilty of many more crimes than bin Laden or any terrorist in the world. And in many more countries. He provided 'support, financing, and inspiration" to state terror in Indonesia, Cambodia, Iran, South Africa, Bangladesh, and all the South American countries that suffered the dirty war of Plan Condor. On September 11 1973, exactly 28 years before the fires of last week, the Presidential Palace in Chile was stormed. Kissinger had written the epitaph of Allende and Chilean democracy long before when he commented on the results of the elections: "I don't see why we have to stand by and watch a country go communist because of the irresponsibility of its own people." A contempt for the people is one of many things shared by state and private terror. For example, the ETA, an organization that kills people in the name of independence in Basque Country, says through one of its spokespeople: 'Rights have nothing to do with majorities or minorities.' There is much common ground between low- and high- tech terrorism, between the terrorism of religious fanatics and that of market fanatics, that of the hopeless and that of the powerful, that of the psychopath on the loose and that of the cold-blooded uniformed professional. They all share the disrespect for human life: the killers of the 5500 citizens under the Twin Towers that fell like castles of dry sand-- and the killers of 200 000 Guatemalans, the majority of whom were indigenous, exterminated without television or the newspapers of the world paying any attention. Those Guatemalans were not sacrificed by any Muslim fanatic, but by terrorist squads who received 'support, financing, and inspiration' from successive US governments. All these worshipers of death are in agreement as well on the need to reduce social, cultural, and national differences to military terms. In the name of Good against Evil, in the name of the One Truth, they resolve everything by killing first and asking questions later. And by this method, they strengthen the enemy they fight. It was the atrocities of the Sendero Luminoso that gave President Fujimori the

[CTRL] The Most Patriotic Act
http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20011008&s=foner FEATURE STORY | October 8, 2001 The Most Patriotic Act by Eric Foner The drumbeat now begins, as it always does in time of war: We must accept limitations on our liberties. The FBI and CIA should be "unleashed" in the name of national security. Patriotism means uncritical support of whatever actions the President deems appropriate. Arab-Americans, followers of Islam, people with Middle Eastern names or ancestors, should be subject to special scrutiny by the government and their fellow citizens. With liberal members of Congress silent and the Administration promising a war on terrorism lasting "years, not days," such sentiments are likely to be with us for some time to come. Of the many lessons of American history, this is among the most basic. Our civil rights and civil liberties--freedom of expression, the right to criticize the government, equality before the law, restraints on the exercise of police powers--are not gifts from the state that can be rescinded when it desires. They are the inheritance of a long history of struggles: by abolitionists for the ability to hold meetings and publish their views in the face of mob violence; by labor leaders for the power to organize unions, picket and distribute literature without fear of arrest; by feminists for the right to disseminate birth-control information without being charged with violating the obscenity laws; and by all those who braved jail and worse to challenge entrenched systems of racial inequality. The history of freedom in this country is not, as is often thought, the logical working out of ideas immanent in our founding documents or a straight-line trajectory of continual progress. It is a story of countless disagreements and battles in which victories sometimes prove temporary and retrogression often follows progress. When critics of the original Constitution complained about the absence of a Bill of Rights, the Constitution's "father," James Madison, replied that no list of liberties could ever anticipate the ways government might act in the future. "Parchment barriers" to the abuse of authority, he wrote, would be least effective when most needed. Thankfully, the Bill of Rights was eventually adopted. But Madison's observation was amply borne out at moments of popular hysteria when freedom of expression was trampled in the name of patriotism and national unity. Americans have notoriously short historical memories. But it is worth recalling some of those moments to understand how liberty has been endangered in the past. During the "quasi war" with France in 1798, the Alien and Sedition Acts allowed deportation of immigrants deemed dangerous by federal authorities and made it illegal to criticize the federal government. During the Civil War, both sides jailed critics and suppressed opposition newspapers. In World War I German-Americans, socialists, labor leaders and critics of US involvement were subjected to severe government repression and assault by private vigilante groups. Publications critical of the war were banned from the mails, individuals were jailed for antiwar statements and in the Red Scare that followed the war thousands of radicals were arrested and numerous aliens deported. During World War II, tens of thousands of Japanese-Americans, most of them US citizens, were removed to internment camps. Sanctioned by the Supreme Court, this was the greatest violation of Americans' civil liberties, apart from slavery, in our history. No one objects to more stringent security at airports. But current restrictions on the FBI and CIA limiting surveillance, wiretapping, infiltration of political groups at home and assassinations abroad do not arise from an irrational desire for liberty at the expense of security. They are the response to real abuses of authority, which should not be forgotten in the zeal to sweep them aside as "handcuffs" on law enforcement. Before unleashing these agencies, let us recall the FBI's persistent harassment of individuals like Martin Luther King Jr. and its efforts to disrupt the civil rights and antiwar movements, and the CIA's history of cooperation with some of the world's most egregious violators of human rights. The principle that no group of Americans should be stigmatized as disloyal or criminal because of race or national origin is too recent and too fragile an achievement to be abandoned now. Every war in American history, from the Revolution to the Gulf War, with the exception of World War II, inspired vigorous internal dissent. Self-imposed silence is as debilitating to a democracy as censorship. If questioning an ill-defined, open-ended "war on terrorism" is to be deemed unpatriotic, the same label will have to be applied to Abraham Lincoln at the time of the Mexican War, Jane Addams and Eugene V. Debs during World War I, and Wayne Morse and Ernest Gruening, who had the courage and foresight to vote against the Gulf of Tonkin resolu
[CTRL] Taking Over The Homeland
http://www.psyopnews.com/ Taking Over The Homeland by Fintan Dunne, coEditor PsyopNews.com 23 September, 2001 What a piece of astute prediction in Michael Rivero's New Republic post from 20 months ago ( here). Read it well for the modus operandi of the proto-dictators behind the WTC attack. 'It's the oldest trick in the book', Michael writes, 'dating back to Roman times'; creating the enemies you need. Then he reminds us about 70 BC, and an ambitious minor politician and extremely wealthy man, Marcus Licineus Crassus, who wanted to rule Rome. Crassus, is credited with invention of the fire brigade. More like brigands than brigade, these guys would let the building burn unless the owners accepted an offer of a tiny fraction of it's worth. That's a far cry from the gallant men and women of the NY Fire Department. They gave their lives for others. Like the many who have given their lives for civil liberties. Their memory does not deserve what is being done in the name of 'security'. Those who watch over civil liberties in America have observed with growing concern the widening reach of Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA); have seen how their emergency powers constitute a nascent police state. They are devastated by President Bush's announcement of the new independent National Homeland Security Agency (NHSA) --with responsibility for planning, coordinating, and integrating various U.S. government activities involved in homeland security. No wonder. Because FEMA will be a morphing into SuperFEMA -the new NHSA, with the Coast Guard, the Customs Service, and the Border Patrol- transferred to it. Just for good measure, the NHSA Phase III planning report advocates that the National Guard should be "reorganized, trained, and equipped" to undertake a homeland security mission. In case they felt left out. Another equally disturbing reccommendation is that NHSA would: "assume responsibility for overseeing the protection of the nation's critical infrastructure, including information technology." In other words, SuperFEMA running the Internet -under emergency powers. Wonderful!; .NOT. But hold on, you caution, sutrely there are 'safeguards' for civil liberties? Oh yes!: "The observance of these guarantees in the event of a national security emergency would be safeguarded by NHSA's interagency coordinating activities-which would include the Department of Justice-as well as by its conduct of advance exercises." So when they arrest you without charge, just tell them that they can't, because of "interagency coordinating activities". That should do the trick. Let's just quote from another section of the planning report -in case we are being too subtle for you: "Finally, we recommend that Congress reorganize itself to accommodate this Executive Branch realignment, and that it also form a special select committee for homeland security to provide Congressional support and oversight in this critical area." An "Executive Branch realignment, eh? Yeah you could call it that. But all this emotional crisis athsmophere amy make you a little confused; nervous even; suggestible -definitely. And happy to just let things slide into dictatorship. So don't.

Which begs the question of WHY he wasn't informed of an impending event that was beyond normal imagination... In other words, we have two options to consider regarding the U.S. intelligence community -- either they had absolutely NO clue this was pending, in which case we have to ask why they were so clueless; or they DID have an idea, but failed to give adequate warning regarding it. I suspect the latter, since the Internet was full of reports the week or so before 9/11 regarding the feds raiding a shutting down an ISP in Texas which had a large amount of Islamic and Middle Eastern websites...so someone knew that something was up... There have also been reports that emergency drills at the WTC had been stepped up in the weeks preceding 9/11...which suggests that some forwarning was given to at least the WTC management...

[CTRL] Fwd: War: From Metaphor into Reality

Receive about one article/day. www.tenc.net [Emperor's Clothes] === War: Metaphor into Reality by Peter Weiss [posted 24 September 2001] === Inter arma silent leges. When force speaks, the laws are silent. And the more brutal the force, the more complete the silence of law. This is what most people believe, and after the events of September 11 it is hard to blame them. But law, particularly the law of war and peace, does not march solely to the drumbeat of daily life. If it cannot keep pace with extraordinary events in the worst of times, it loses its capacity to govern, to provide the order that is associated with law. Lawyers must therefore, at times, swim against the tide of public opinion and remind an outraged populace that even "a war to rid the world of evil" is subject to the laws of war, both ius ad bellum, which governs the right to go to war, and ius in bello, which governs the conduct of war. The first question, then, is, what is war? According to Lassa Oppenheim, one of the giants of international law, "War is a contention between two or more States through their armed forces, for the purpose of overpowering each other, and imposing such conditions of peace as the victor pleases". A terrorist attack, no matter how heinous, committed by non-state actors, is not a casus belli, an "act of war", except in a metaphorical sense. It therefore cannot justify a state resorting to war against another state in response to the attack, unless the other states responsibility for the attack has been unambiguously established. But, as is clear from the statements of the President and other high officials, no such responsibility has been proved, except again in a metaphorical sense. They speak of making war against countries that "support", "tolerate" or "harbor" terrorists. Saudi Arabia refuses to this day to extradite the eleven men indicted in the 1996 attack on the Khobar Towers, in which 19 US airmen were killed and 370 injured. Does this mean that Saudi Arabia is supporting terrorists and that we are or will be at war with Saudi Arabia? A recent study by the Congressional Research Service alleges that Osama Bin Ladens organization has bases or tentacles in 37 countries. Are we, or will we be, at war with all of them? Nor is it possible to declare war against an unidentified enemy, which is essentially what the President and the Congress have done in the aftermath of the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Yet, both psychologically and legally, the use of war terminology has grave consequences. Psychologically, as shown by the WAR banner headlines in the days following September 11, it creates a mood of "follow the leader, wherever he may lead" and makes bloodthirsty monsters out of normally decent citizens. As one correspondent said in the Letters column of the New York Times on September 18, "It is not enough to wipe out Afghanistan I will be satisfied with nothing short of a sweeping and devastating assault on all those countries that train, finance and protect those whose stated goal is the slaughter of Americans." Legally, a state of war triggers all sorts of undesirable consequences. At the level of international law, the proclamation of a state of emergency, which is normally less than a state of war, allows a state party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, such as the United States, to "derogate" from its obligations under the Covenant in respect of several basic human rights, including freedom from forced labor, the right to bring habeas corpus proceedings, freedom of movement, equality before the law and freedom from arbitrary arrest. A de facto, or functionally equivalent, declaration of war, followed by acts of war, naturally triggers the right of self-defense by any state affected. The Taliban has already prepared the Afghan people to fight a holy war against the United States, once the US makes good on its promise to "end" that state. Every other state against which military action is taken by the global antiterrorist coalition in the making will consider itself entitled to respond with armed force against any member of the coalition. The US, with its farflung global outposts, military and otherwise, and its long list of potential target states, is particularly vulnerable in this respect. Thus, conducting the impending and necessary antiterrorist operation under the banner of war legitimates the cycle of violence, which it is sure to spark. Proceeding under a flag of war will of
Re: [CTRL] Spy In the Whitehouse.....
-Caveat Lector- Spies in the White House - they better watch out for they have moles in all the underground bases and tunnels in the USA. Monica Lewinsky should be charged with treason - for whom did she work? She opened the door to the Mossad tapping the President of the United States telephone and even Yeltsin knew what was going on, for the Mossad and KGB complement each other And then we have Chandra and Condit.hard to tell who was the real victim here, one disappears, and the other will soon disappear.how does Condit feel today - how did he feel when he saw the Twin Towers (he is a Baptist, you kow) paying the price for the sins of the fathers, Jerry Falwell would have you believe. And then we have Larry Flynt - this man should be sent to prison for blackmail...for this is what he is, a front for organized crime who contributes heavily to the ADL and Bnai Brith? So the man who is involved with the new World Trade Center with a 99 year lease, you got to be kidding - the demolition of the Twin Towers can only be compared to the other landmark in Taliban - the giant Budda - sign of times, beginning of terror but on whose payroll are these people...they are not spies, they are hit men. America - there is a Contract on America. Well if someone can gun down two Presidents in my lifetime, and the cycle is beginning again, think they give a damn about some Americans working for a living in a high rise already bombed once. Stop and think - in a prison, sat the Unibomber who was involved in mind control, the man the FBI said prior to his capture had no formal eduction - he turns out to be of all things, a Harvard Professor; we had Timothy McVeigh, who brought down a Temple with a load of fertilizer who was just a kid when he was brainwashed and no doubt programmed to do what he did; and then, the third man his name escapes me, was the one who got the credit and/or blame, for blowing up a portion of the World Trade Center in 1993 - well McVeigh is dead, but one reporter said gee, he was still breathing when pronouced dead..he went to his death, willingly with no regrets but he had stated, he knew nothing about he children in the day school - but the FBI and BATF, who had been warned to stay away by the ADL and other sources, stayed home. Twin Towers gone, Pentagon will revive, and if they were headed to the Nuclear Towers it is said these would withstand such an attack - I do not know if they would, and I do not want to know if they would not. So Gideon Forces..my Gideon Bible Calendar is used by Special Forces, they have to be a militant order which means Mafia Confraternity involved for they hire these killers for contract jobs. Whose Mafia was it - the Mossad, the KGB? Surely not our CIA, but they have trained so many different people and initiated them into their order it is now difficult to see who did what. Fiery Flying Serpents in the Sky? Has a Japanese Doomsday Touch - and Persian rituals but then we have our Mossad with axe to grinde for Sharon was losing the propaganda war and needed something.

[CTRL] Cropduster Manual Discovered in Suspected Terrorist Hideout (fwd)
-Caveat Lector- I wonder if this will now cut down on all those "chemtrail" reports... Also, they don't need cropdusters, especially if the terrorist is willing to die in carrying out his mission...all that is needed to be done is release a relatively slow-acting biological agent (anthrax, bubonic or pneumonic plague) during any rush hour in a commuter train station... the infected victims would then spread the disease in ever-widening circles beyond 'ground zero', as in the first days people think they are just coming down with a bad cold or flu and don't seek effective medical intervention in time...

The discovery has added to concerns among government counterterrorism experts that the bin Laden conspirators may have been planning - or may still be planning -to disperse biological or chemical agents from a cropdusting plane normally used for agricultural purposes. Among the belongings of suspected terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui, sources tell TIME, were manuals showing how to operate cropdusting equipment that could be used to spray fast-killing toxins into the air. The discovery resulted in the grounding of all cropdusters nationwide on Sunday Sept. 16th. The dusters have been allowed back up, but are not allowed to take off or land from what traffic controllers refer to as Class B airspace, or the skies around major cities. One senior official cautions that because corroborative evidence is lacking the FBI does not place "high credibility" in the notion that the hijackers were in fact exploring the idea of stealing or renting cropdusters. However, the FBI is advising members of a crop-dusters' group to report any suspicious buys of dangerous chemicals in the wake of last week's terrorist attacks. Last week, the National Agricultural Aviation Association, a crop dusters trade group, posted a message from the FBI to its membership: "Members should be vigilant to any suspicious activity relative to the use, training in or acquisition of dangerous chemicals or airborne application of same including threats, unusual purchases, suspicious behavior by employees or customers, and unusual contacts with the public.
