If you were hand-picked at an early age and educated by the USG, of course you'll not be able to grok what really happened on 9-11. You were literally raised on USG propaganda!I've tried to make it very simple for you. I've boiled the entire 9-11 argument down to a single vexing problem for the USG official narrative: the widely reported fact that there was molten steel at the sub-basements of the WTC towers. If you're capable of doing higher math, you should be able to understand that there's no way jet fuel and office furniture burning in the atmosphere can possibly melt massive steel columns... seven floors underground, no less. Steel melts at about 1500 Celsius. Jet fuel is effectively kerosene and burns in the atmosphere at only a fraction of this temperature. Besides that, most of the jet fuel burned off in the first minutes after the planes hit.Jack, i'm convinced that you're incapable of understanding what happened on 9-11 because your mind is closed. And please don't try to roll out Occam's Razor to support your incompetence theory because, as i said earlier, incompetence does NOT explain the molten steel that persisted for several weeks at the WTC site. Occam doesn't state just that the simplest theory must be correct, but that the simplest theory that also does the best job of actually explaining what is known must be correct. My 'theory', that WTC 1, 2, and 7 were intentionally demolished in controlled demolitions, explains the molten steel; your theory, that the jets brought down the buildings, does NOT explain the molten steel.It's that simple Jack, as 'smart' as you think you are, you're wrong about 9-11, and it all boils down to the melting point of steel... pun intended.Regards,Dennis "galen" MitrzykPS: I don't know where Sklar went after Michigan, but i do remember him as being one of the most pompous, self-important people i've ever met.

Jack, you seem to be a reasonable and intelligent person so i'm having a difficult time reconciling your statements about 9-11. Your 'logic' that we can't be right about 9-11 being an inside job because we haven't been killed can just as well be applied to you, but i don't question the veracity of your claims about ETs. No, because I WORK WITH THE USG INTELLIGENCE in an informal way for years. They need my expertise and also I do not believe this 9-11 conspiracy nonsense because I have a pretty good idea of how the inside really works. LOTS OF INCOMPETENCE FOR SURE!

If you thought a grieving mother would be off-limits forpersonal attacks, you'd be wrong. Rush Limbaugh said of Sheehan, "Her storyis nothing more than forged documents. There's nothing about it that'sreal."Charles Krauthammer brought out the old saw that by criticizing the war,Sheehan is "hurting" and "endangering" our troops." Bill O'Reilly, basinghis opinion on nothing, opined that "other American families who have lostsons and daughters in Iraq... feel that this kind of behavior borders ontreasonous." David Horowitz said Sheehan "doesn't respect her own son'slife." Christopher Hitchens referred to Sheehan's Crawford outpost, namedCamp Casey after her son, as "Camp Fruitbat and Nutbag," calling Sheehan a"hysterical paranoid ideologist." Convicted felon G. Gordon Liddy, dialingin from an alternate galaxy, managed to decide that Sheehan is anti-Semitic.Should anyone believe that anything - even the loss of a child in GeorgeBush's war - might give you moral authority that would stay the hand of theright when it comes to ideological battle, Sheehan can attest that there areno limits to the animus of White House defenders.But something remarkable happened when Sheehan came under attack. She didn'twilt, and the arrows missed their target. Support for the war continues togo down. According to the latest Gallup poll, 54 percent of Americans saythe war was a mistake and 57 percent believe it has made us less safe fromterrorism. Only 34 percent told Newsweek they approve of the job Bush isdoing on Iraq.As Harold Meyerson of the American Prospect observed before Sheehan startedher vigil, the anti-war effort has been a striking success despite - orperhaps because of - the absence of a visible anti-war movement. There havebeen few marches or demonstrations since the start of the war, at leastuntil Camp Casey was set up in Crawford. And now the face of opposition tothe war is not a pierced, dreadlocked 19-year-old but a grieving motherasking for answers.The venom the right wing has spewed at Cindy Sheehan shows just howdesperate they have become. Their attacks can not hide the fact that everyday, more mothers and fathers who placed their children in the government'shands come to know her unimaginable grief. And more Americans ask the samequestion Cindy Sheehan says she wants to ask the president: What are wedoing in Iraq?Paul Waldman is a senior fellow with Media Matters for America, aprogressive media watchdog.Reprinted from The Philadlphia Daily News--No virus found in this Mario's outgoing message.Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.Version: 7.0.344 / Virus Database: 267.10.17/85 - Release Date: 30.8.2005 Yahoo!

This breaksdown to almost $186 million a day."By comparison, the average cost of US operations in Vietnam over theeight-year war was $5.1 billion per month, adjusting for inflation," itsaid.As a proportion of gross domestic product, the Vietnam War was moresignificant, costing 12% of annual GDP, compared to 2% for the Iraq War.However, economists said the Iraq war is being financed with deficitspending and may nearly double the projected federal budget deficit over thenext 10 years.The US Congress has approved four spending bills for Iraq so far with fundstotaling $204.4 billion and is expected soon to authorise a further $45.3billion.Costly war"Broken down per person in the United States, the cost so far is $727,making the Iraq War the most expensive military effort in the past 60years," wrote authors Phyllis Bennis and Erik Leaver.As public support for the war drops, more politicians, including someRepublicans, have begun to compare it to Vietnam.The latest was Nebraska Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, who received twoPurple Hearts and other military honours for his service in Vietnam. He saidearlier this month that the United States was "locked into a bogged-downproblem, not dissimilar to where we were in Vietnam".The total cost of the Vietnam War in current dollars was around $600 billionand there are some experts who believe the Iraq War will eventually surpassthat total.For instance, the Congressional Budget Office estimated this year that ifthe United States managed to reduce its troop deployment to Iraq andAfghanistan to 50,000 by 2010, the cost over the next decade would be anadditional $393 billion, which when added to the dollars already spent wouldexceed the Vietnam total.While there are far fewer troops in Iraq than there were in Vietnam at theheight of that conflict, the weapons they use are more expensive and theyare paid more.--No virus found in this Mario's outgoing message.Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.Version: 7.0.344 / Virus Database: 267.10.17/85 - Release Date: 30.8.2005 Yahoo!

[CTRL] AN OIL PANIC IN PLAIN SIGHT
-Caveat Lector- AN OIL PANIC IN PLAIN SIGHT By Sean Brodrick - Hurricane Katrina smashes Energy Alley, a concentrated area of oil production in Gulf of Mexico that supplies about 35% of America's domestic oil. - White House says oil will get cheaper, but makes hush- hush plans to increase the Strategic Petroleum Reserve by 42% to ONE BILLION barrels of crude. Why are they so eager to add to the SPR when oil prices are high? - Saudis reveal they won't be able to meet oil demand - first time EVER they've admitted the awful truth Hurricane Katrina delivered a devastating blow to America even before it slammed into Louisiana. The Massive storm smashed through Energy Alley, a concentrated area of oil rigs off the coast that supply about 35% of America's domestic oil production and 20% of its natural gas. It damaged much of our nation's oil production. At the same time, workers rushed to shut down the offshore Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, which processes loads from tankers too large for mainland ports. The LOOP is the nation's largest oil import terminal, handling 11% of U.S. imports. And refiners shut down more than a million barrels a day of production as they braced for the impact from the monster storm. Those refineries will probably be out for at least two weeks, setting the stage for a potential gasoline shortage. Panicked oil traders are pushing oil prices over $70 per barrel. And now for the really scary part. A devastating hurricane strike at America's oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico is just one of the major forces that could send oil to $80 ... $100 ... $150 a barrel. Other forces that could send oil prices surging are potentially much more serious...and permanent! The Saudis are the central bank of oil, right? So how come the central bank is scrounging for loose change under the couch cushions? Earlier this month came news that Saudi Arabia hired five Rowan jackup oil rigs for drilling offshore oil wells on a three year contract. Those rigs are currently under contract in the Gulf of Mexico, so that means Saudi Arabia outbid somebody to get those rigs - and rig rates have already run up to obscenely high levels - 30% to 50% more than a year ago. Drilling for oil underwater is very expensive. You'd expect the Saudis to be drilling out their cheapest oil first. Don't they have a desert full of this stuff? So why are they suddenly digging deep for underwater oil, and willing to pay a premium to do it? Unless... maybe the Saudis don't have as much oil as they say they do. We already know that the Saudis have confessed that OPEC won't be able to meet western oil demand in 10 to 15 years. I'm starting to think they might come up short a lot sooner than that. Are the Saudis lying? Well, at least it seems like they're not telling the whole truth. What's more, I believe there's a whole lot our own government isn't telling us. I'll get to that in a moment. First, some ugly facts... · The world uses a BILLION barrels of oil every 12 days. Do we find a billion barrels of oil every 12 days? NO! In fact, if everything goes perfectly, we'll find just 30 million barrels of oil in the same time period. If things go badly, we'll find less. Much less. · The global depletion rate runs at least 5% a year, perhaps much higher , as once-reliable sources of oil are in serious decline. Oil production in Britain fell the steepest of any country last year, with production in the once-prolific North Sea falling by 10% (230,000 barrels per day) last year ... Production in Alaska's Prudhoe Bay has fallen 75% from its peak in 1987 ... Iraq's oil production is still half of what it was before the war ...Mexico's production is declining so quickly it will have to start importing oil in the next 10 years! · The U.S. Energy Information Agency has fallen in line with the International Energy Agency and admits that oil demand will exceed supply starting in the fourth quarter of this year. Total world demand is expected to be 86.4 million barrels per day, according to the EIA, while total world supply is expected to be 85.4 million barrels per day. The EIA ups the ante by saying there will be a shortfall in the first quarter of 2006 as well. Publicly, the White House urges calm and predicts that oil prices will retreat from their current high levels. But privately, the U.S. government is quietly planning to add to existing oil reserves at a furious pace. Squirreled away in new energy legislation is a directive to increase the Strategic Petroleum Reserve from 700 million barrels (70 days' supply of imports) to ONE BILLION BARRELS. They're adding to the SPR when oil prices are sky- high. What are they afraid of? A confidential source in the Department of Energy gave me the scoop on the addition to the SPR. This stunning new directive was placed inside the 1,724-page Energy Policy Act of 2005 without any fanfare whatsoever - it's hidden in plain sight. And the mainstream media is too busy going to
[CTRL] Iraq War Ruined New Orleans
-Caveat Lector- IRAQ WAR MAY HAVE LOST US NEW ORLEANS WILL BUNCH, EDITOR PUBLISHER - New Orleans had long known it was highly vulnerable to flooding and a direct hit from a hurricane. In fact, the federal government has been working with state and local officials in the region since the late 1960s on major hurricane and flood relief efforts. When flooding from a massive rainstorm in May 1995 killed six people, Congress authorized the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project, or SELA. Over the next 10 years, the Army Corps of Engineers, tasked with carrying out SELA, spent $430 million on shoring up levees and building pumping stations, with $50 million in local aid. But at least $250 million in crucial projects remained, even as hurricane activity in the Atlantic Basin increased dramatically and the levees surrounding New Orleans continued to subside. Yet after 2003, the flow of federal dollars toward SELA dropped to a trickle. The Corps never tried to hide the fact that the spending pressures of the war in Iraq, as well as homeland security -- coming at the same time as federal tax cuts -- was the reason for the strain. At least nine articles in the Times-Picayune from 2004 and 2005 specifically cite the cost of Iraq as a reason for the lack of hurricane- and flood-control dollars. Newhouse News Service, in an article posted late Tuesday night at The Times-Picayune web site, reported: No one can say they didn't see it coming. . . .Now in the wake of one of the worst storms ever, serious questions are being asked about the lack of preparation. In early 2004, as the cost of the conflict in Iraq soared, President Bush proposed spending less than 20 percent of what the Corps said was needed for Lake Pontchartrain, according to a Feb. 16, 2004, article, in New Orleans CityBusiness. On June 8, 2004, Walter Maestri, emergency management chief for Jefferson Parish, Louisiana; told the Times-Picayune: It appears that the money has been moved in the president's budget to handle homeland security and the war in Iraq, and I suppose that's the price we pay. Nobody locally is happy that the levees can't be finished, and we are doing everything we can to make the case that this is a security issue for us.. . . http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001051313 www.ctrl.org DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Iraq and New Orleans
-Caveat Lector- THE DISASTER THEY KNEW WAS COMING http://www.issues2000.org/default.htm PROGRESS REPORT - In 2001, the Federal Emergency Management Agency ranked a major hurricane strike on New Orleans as among the three likeliest, most catastrophic disasters facing this country, directly behind a terrorist strike on New York City. . . While it happened, President Bush decided to ... continue his vacation, stopping by the Pueblo El Mirage RV and Golf Resort in El Mirage, California, to hawk his Medicare drug benefit plan. On Sunday, President Bush said, I want to thank all the folks at the federal level and the state level and the local level who have taken this storm seriously. Two months ago, President Bush took an ax to budget funds that would have helped New Orleans prepare for such a disaster. The New Orleans branch of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers suffered a record $71.2 million reduction in federal funding, a 44.2 percent reduction from its 2001 levels. Reports at the time said that thanks to the cuts, major hurricane and flood protection projects will not be awarded to local engineering firms. . . . Also, a study to determine ways to protect the region from a Category 5 hurricane has been shelved for now. (Too bad Louisiana isn't a swing state. In the aftermath of Hurricane Frances -- and the run-up to the 2004 election -- the Bush administration awarded $31 million in disaster relief to Florida residents who didn't even experience hurricane damage.) The Gulf Coast wetlands form a natural buffer that helps protect New Orleans from storms, slowing hurricanes down as they approach from sea. When he came into office, President Bush pledged to uphold the no net loss wetland policy his father initiated. He didn't keep his word. Bush rolled back tough wetland policies set by the Clinton administration, ordering federal agencies to stop protecting as many as 20 million acres of wetlands and an untold number of waterways nationwide. Last year, four environmental groups issued a joint report showing that administration policies had allowed developers to drain thousands of acres of wetlands. The result? New Orleans may be in even greater danger: Studies show that if the wetlands keep vanishing over the next few decades, then you won't need a giant storm to devastate New Orleans -- a much weaker, more common kind of hurricane could destroy the city too. Forward-thinking federal plans with titles like Issues and Options in Flood Hazards Management, Floods: A National Policy Concern, and A Framework for Flood Hazards Management would be particularly valuable in a time of increasingly intense hurricanes. Unfortunately, the agency that used to produce them -- the Office of Technology Assessment -- was gutted by Gingrich conservatives several years ago. As Chris Mooney (who presciently warned of the need to bulk up hurricane defenses in New Orleans last May) noted, If we ever return to science-based policymaking based on professionalism and expertise, rather than ideology, an office like OTA would be very useful in studying how best to save a city like New Orleans -- and how Congress might consider appropriating money to achieve this end. National Guard and Reserve soldiers are typically on the front lines responding to disasters like Katrina -- that is, if they're not fighting in Iraq. Roughly 35 percent of Louisiana's National Guard is currently deployed in Iraq, where guardsmen and women make up about four of every 10 soldiers. Additionally, Dozens of high water vehicles, humvees, refuelers and generators used by the Louisiana Guard are also tied up abroad. The National Guard needs that equipment back home to support the homeland security mission, Louisiana National Guard Lt. Colonel Pete Schneider told reporters earlier this month. Recruitment is down dramatically, mostly because prospective recruits are worried about deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan or another country, the AP reported recently. I used to be able to get about eight people a month, said National Guard 1st Sgt. Derick Young, a New Orleans recruiter. Now, I'm lucky if I can get one. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic screeds are unwelcomed.

[CTRL] Fwd: Hurricane Katrina As Assymetric Warfare?
-Caveat Lector- Begin forwarded message:From: Scheck Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: August 31, 2005 11:28:14 AM PDTTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Hurricane Katrina As Assymetric Warfare? Thousand Oaks, California August 31, 2005 Hurricane Katrina As Assymetric Warfare? by Richard Scheck There is a possibility that Hurricane Katrina was a military attack upon the United States. During the Cold war, both the United States and the Sovie Union developed techniques for weather modification that could be used as weapons, even going so far as to sign a treaty in 1975 banning their use. However, in the context of Bush's policies of preventive intervention, all bets appear to be off as the rest of the world responds to America's hegemonic efforts. Counter-insurgency in Iraq, new economic arrangements in the energy field by countries like Iran and Venezuela along with joint military exercises by China and Russia are evidence of assymetric warfare designed to constrain American power. The question for researchers who suspect the intentionality of this "natural" disaster is to determine the identity of the perpetrator responsible for the event. For those finding it difficult to wrap their minds around the prospect of such duplicitous doings, the author invites you to explore the work of meterologist Scott Stevens (www.weatherwars.info) and astronomer Richard C. Hoagland (www.enterprisemission.com) who have recently published articles addressing this topic. Stevens specifically identifies Russia for causing Katrina and also predicts another big attack this fall in the form of a 7.7 earthquake (hello California!!). It is important for those who want answers to look at (google) America's High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Project (HAARP) to decide for themselves what happened and whether this is a possible false-flag operation that used US technology to create and drive the storm. Whatever conclusions one reaches, the reality is that the impact of this hurricane on the New Orleans region with its important oil infrastructure will be significant. The devastation wrought by this powerful storm will linger for a long time and may even lead to the abandonment of efforts to restore this famous city with its French Quarter, jazz music and unique southern flavor. With many National Guard units from both Mississippi and Louisiana in Iraq, another issued raised by this catastrophe is whether Bush's foreign policy has weakened our ability to respond effectively to domestic tragedies. As the cost in lives and dollars continue to mount, America's citizenry will be forced to take a hard look at the consequences of its behavior in order to formulate new approaches that embrace the wiser use of energy and smarter ways of interacting with the rest of the planet.

The victim, Vicki Boer, said the sentencing of her father validates her allegations and should force the church to face up to its shortcomings in handling her abuse complaintShe claimed in an earlier civil suit that church elders told her not to report the abuse.

[CTRL] Bush's speech
-Caveat Lector- The best moment of the speech was when he revelaed that the EPA has waived the absolutely assine requirement to have 85 different blends of gasoline to be refined by theindustry.

Start the oil shale industry there is at least 3 trillion barrrels of oil in the united states 4) and of course disallow any and all environmental lawsuits which would interfere with any of the above and you can visit my energy website at http://www.info-quest.org/Energy.html Remember:More people have died in Ted Kennedy's car than have died in United States Commercial Nuclear Power plant operations visit my web site at http://www.info-quest.org Visit my energy page at http://www.info-quest.org/Energy.html Check out the latest on the anwr drilling project http://www.anwr.org visit my blog at http://info-spectrum.blogspot.com My ICQ# is 79071904 See the Pledge of alleginace to the flag that the 9th circuit court of appeals doesn't want you to say. for a precise list of the powers of the Federal Government linkto: http://www.info-quest.org/Enumerated.html www.ctrl.org DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

A True College Education for Conservative Americans Dear Conservative American, Now you can get a great, classical education without having to worry about liberal bias or politically correct nonsense! An education that formed the thinking of great Americans like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams. An education that will ground you in the principles and ideals that made America the greatest country in the world ... ... and all for a price that won't put you in the poor house. Introducing an Americanist Education from Robert Welch University Robert Welch University is a dream come true for students who want the rigor and standards of a traditional university education without the politically correct nonsense. -- Thomas E. Woods Jr., Ph.D., Columbia University Whether you'd like to take a few courses to satisfy your own curiosity or if you're interested in pursuing an associate's degree, Robert Welch University (RWU) has the courses you're looking for to succeed in life. RWU offers a rigorous course of study in economics, American history and literature, mathematics, science -- even Latin, Hebrew, and Greek. Why RWU? Sadly, most colleges and universities today shy away from a classic curriculum. Instead, students are given servings of socialistic, useless trivia. As a result, many college graduates can hardly think for themselves. They become mindless followers of current trends or dangerous political ideologies. But at Robert Welch University, students will learn to think and reason. They will become active, engaged, articulate members of society who naturally become leaders. Leaders with a strong sense of values and integrity. Leaders sorely needed in America today. Men and women of sterling character shaped by the Judeo-Christian values of Western civilization. Study Where and When You Want Nowadays, many parents and students alike are concerned about the questionable social activities and lifestyle of on-campus college life. Because all of RWU's courses are offered online, you'll never have to worry about the moral decay so prevalent in on-campus living. And because RWU students aren't chained to a campus life and schedule, you can study in a location and at a time that is best for you. No slumping out of bed for early classes or trying to stay awake for the late ones. The Best that America Has to Offer Robert Welch University has successfully combined its core courses with the readings and writings of the finest minds of the Western tradition. In some cases, there is an 'embarrassment of riches.' The RWU program will provide students with the educational resources necessary for a cutting-edge college education. -- Dr. Isabel Lyman, Ph.D., Universidad de San Jose, Costa Rica RWU has spared no expense in bringing you some of the finest intellectual talent available today. In fact, Robert Welch University's degree program has been developed by over 15 Ph.D.'s, a rarity in the academic world. RWU's intellectual base includes distinguished scholars and authors like Thomas Woods Jr., who earned his graduate degree from Columbia University and authored the New York Times bestseller The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History. You'll get the finest instruction from some of the brightest minds in America, without having to pay Ivy-League prices. True
[CTRL] Israel and 9/11: New Report Connects the Dots - What the 9/11 Commission didn't tell us
-Caveat Lector- http://antiwar.com/justin/ August 31, 2005 Israel and 9/11: New Report Connects the Dots What the 9/11 Commission didn't tell us by Justin Raimondo This news report in the Philadelphia Times Herald might shock the average reader, but its subject is surely familiar to longtime readers of Antiwar.com: "A memorandum sent to the 9/11 Commission, and Senate and House intelligence committees in September 2004, suggests that young Israelis who canvassed dozens of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) offices in 2000 and 2001 trying to sell paintings to federal workers, may have been spying not only on the DEA, but also on Arab extremists in the United States including the Sept. 11 hijackers who were living in Florida and New Jersey." The author of this memorandum [.pdf] is Gerald Shea, a retired corporate lawyer. Shea an alumnus of Phillips Academy, Yale (1964), and Columbia Law School was associated for many years with one of New York's most prominent law firms, in New York and Paris, and his memo reads like a lawyer's brief: it is written with the same meticulous attention to details of time and place, and with a lawyerly regard for maintaining a high standard of evidence. Shea comes to substantially the same conclusion that I did in a series of columns I started writing in late December 2001, the substance of which is contained in a short book, The Terror Enigma: 9/11 and the Israeli Connection: that the Israelis were engaged in spying on U.S. soil in the months leading up to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, that these agents were concentrated in the two areas where the 9/11 hijackers lived and planned their atrocities Hollywood, Fla., and two counties in New Jersey, Bergen and Hudson and that they did not share all they knew about preparations for the attack with U.S. authorities. Shea writes: "Why the Israeli government decided not to share with us all the critical information they had, and the extent of that information, is a subject for the public inquiry. They may have thought some sort of warning prudent in the event their surveillance activities later became a matter of public knowledge. But any energetic Israeli effort to assist the United States in preventing the attacks would not have served their strategic interest, in view of the disastrous effect those attacks were likely to have on the relationships between the United States and the Arab world. As a leader of the Israeli New Jersey Group said when he was arrested on the afternoon of September 11, 'We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems.'" Students of this subject will not be surprised by much of what is contained in the Shea memorandum, but there are significant new details unearthed by Shea's research and his thoroughness, particularly in tracing the parallel movements of the 9/11 hijackers (and their known associates) and the Israelis. Shea shows the Israelis had the means, the motive, and the physical proximity to track the hijackers' movements and intercept the details of their plans. Of particular interest is how some of the hijackers came to be put on the FBI's watch list too late to do any good, but in time to provide the Israelis with a cover story if their shadowing activities came to light which suggests a cover-up of major proportions. The "Able Danger" data-mining operation that supposedly uncovered the New Jersey cell of the 9/11 plotters was for some reason yet to be determined blocked and prevented from apprehending key figures in the plot, according to the testimony of at least three people who have direct knowledge of this matter. Shea's memo opens up a possibility that may relate to (and explain) the "Able Danger" blockage: was surveillance of Arab terrorist groups in the U.S. subcontracted out to the Israelis, with the knowledge and complicity of the CIA, so that "Able Danger" was considered poaching on the Israelis' preserve? Shea cites a piece in The Forward that describes Israeli covert activities in the U.S. as a violation of "a secret gentleman's agreement between the two countries," and avers: "The real question today, however, appears to be whether the 'gentlemen's agreement' did indeed prevail here and, because we lacked adequate warning from our surrogates who were keeping the Arabs under surveillance, helped bring us to disaster." Discussion of this subject is, of course, considered a hate crime: I was attacked by David Frum and others for even raising the question of Israeli foreknowledge although, tellingly, Frum never mentioned the Fox News four-part series by Carl Cameron that brought this story to widespread public attention. What could he say, after all that Fox News is a bastion of liberal bias, and prejudiced against Israel? I don't think so. Of particular interest are the various appendices. The DEA report on the "Israeli art students" has been public for some time, but readers will find Exhibit B very informative:
