Federal court judge T.S. Ellis ruled to allow the request by lawyers for Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman, former employees of the influential pro-Israel lobby American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), to subpoena Rice, Hadley and 13 other current and former top government officials to testify in the case, according to court documents. Rosen and Weissman, accused of passing secret US defense information to unauthorized people while they worked for AIPAC, hope the testimony of the government officials will support their defense that they were not engaged in spying. The defendants claim that testimony from these current and former officials will tend to show that the overt acts reflect nothing more than the well-established official Washington practice of engaging in 'back-channel' communication, according to Friday's ruling issued in Alexandria, Virginia. The White House and the State Department declined to comment on the ruling, which rejected government arguments that the officials' testimony in the case, which involves key issues of national security, would be immaterial and even harmful to the defendants. We are aware of the order authorizing the potential issuance of subpoenas in the Rosen and Weissman case should the case go to trial, said National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe. It is our understanding that no subpoenas have been issued at this time. We cannot comment further because this is an ongoing criminal prosecution. We are not going to comment on an ongoing legal matter, said State Department spokesman Tom Casey. Rosen and Weissman and Department of Defense official Lawrence Franklin were charged in 2005 under the Espionage Act with conspiracy to communicate national defense information after they were documented in a lengthy FBI investigation sharing sensitive US intelligence with each other and with Israel. US officials alleged that between 1999 and 2004 Franklin passed secrets to Israel using AIPAC as the conduit; at the time Rosen was the lobby's policy director and Weissman an analyst on Iran. The sealed indictments, according to court documents, record 57 overt acts in the mishandling of the secrets, including meetings and telephone calls involving communicating the information with both US and foreign nationals. The intelligence involved terrorist activities in Central Asia, US intelligence and policy regarding Middle Eastern countries, and Al Qaeda, according to the court documents. Rosen and Weissman maintain that the secrets were not closely held by the US government and their disclosure did no damage to the country, the court documents said. Franklin, a former assistant to former undersecretary of defense Douglas Feith, pleaded guilty after a series of closed hearings and was sentenced in January 2006 to 12 years and seven months in prison and a 10,000 dollar fine. The pre-trial ruling will allow Rosen and Weissman's lawyers to proceed with subpoenas for Rice, Hadley, former senior State Department officials Richard Armitage, Marc Grossman, Matthew Bryza and William Burns, former top defense department officials Feith and Paul Wolfowitz, and others from US defense, diplomatic and

The comments by Prince Bandar bin Sultan are similar to the remarks this week by Saudi King Abdullah that suggested Britain could have prevented the July 2005 train bombings in London if it had heeded warnings from Riyadh. Speaking to the Arabic satellite network Al-Arabiya on Thursday, Bandar -- now Abdullah's national security adviser -- said Saudi intelligence was actively following most of the September 11, 2001, plotters with precision. If U.S. security authorities had engaged their Saudi counterparts in a serious and credible manner, in my opinion, we would have avoided what happened, he said. Video Watch Bandar's comments » Bandar was the Saudi ambassador to Washington for nearly 22 years before he was replaced in 2005. A knowledgeable U.S. official told CNN that Bandar's comments should be taken with a grain of salt. On Monday, Abdullah told the BBC that Saudi Arabia had sent warnings to British authorities before the London subway bombings that killed 52 people -- the city's bloodiest day since World War II. We have sent information to Great Britain before the terrorist attacks in Britain, Abdullah said. But unfortunately, no action was taken, and it may have been able to avert the tragedy. The September 11 attacks killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. All but four of the suicide hijackers who carried out the plot were Saudi nationals, and after the attacks, the kingdom was widely criticized for having tolerated Islamic militancy. The Saudis have called the criticism unfair, pointing out that al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden's original grievance was against the country's ruling family, which invited U.S. troops into the kingdom after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990. advertisement A string of attacks on Western compounds, oil installations and Saudi institutions between 2003 and 2006 were blamed on al Qaeda's followers. And Saudi officials say that since 9/11, they have taken steps to ensure charitable donations do not fall into the hands of al Qaeda.

While California was burning, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a Thought Crime bill which will classify Patriot and/or Christian dissidents as Homegrown Terrorists! Since the 9/11 attacks, Cutting Edge has been warning that the Illuminati was planning to use the attacks as cover for implementing a severe dictatorship upon America. Gradually, and always operating under the guise of saving American freedom, Skull Bones President Bush has cooperated with an equally committed Illuminist Congress, has consistently passed laws which remove all our freedoms and Constitutional protections. If you have ever actually read Patriot Acts 1 and 2, you will realize that our government can arrest anyone on any pretense, without specific charges, with no right to a lawyer, no right for a public jury trial, and no right to appeal any sentence. Furthermore, the victim can be jailed at a secret location, his family has no right to know where he is, and he can be executed secretly and buried just as secretly, with the government under no requirement to notify the family that he was executed. The only reason we Americans still think we are free is that our government leaders have decided to not implement any of these draconian laws right away. Following the example set by Adolf Hitler, our leaders are gradually setting these dictatorial laws in place but not implementing them until the total Plan is ready to set in motion. When the time has come for the next terrorist attack and/or the next environmental disaster to occur, FEMA and/or Homeland Security can totally dissolve our Constitutional government, and start arresting dissidents, completely protected by law. Again, this is the path traveled by Adolf Hitler The Horror of H.R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 NEWS BRIEF: House Passes Thought Crime Prevention Bill, BY Lee Rogers, Rogue Government.com, 10-25-2007 The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed HR 1955 titled the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. This bill is one of the most blatant attacks against the Constitution yet, and actually defines thought crimes as homegrown terrorism. If passed into law, it will also establish a commission and a Center of Excellence to study and defeat so called thought criminals. Unlike previous anti-terror legislation, this bill specifically targets the civilian population of the United States and uses vague language to define homegrown terrorism. Please note the following troubling provisions: 1) Civilian populations of the United States -- American citizens -- are targeted. Starting in late, 2001, Cutting Edge warned repeatedly that the danger in disallowing non-citizens their normal rights under American law was that the day would soon come when native-born American citizens would be disallowed their Constitutional rights. But, because the targets following 9/11 were Islamic terrorists, the average American on the street uttered not one word of protest. Now this bill substantiates the truth of the Cutting Edge position: American citizens were the ultimate targets after all! 2) Vague language is always the friend of the dictator, and always proves the complete undoing of the dissident. 3) American citizens who are

The influential French daily Le Figaro last week revealed that the French leader once worked for -- and perhaps still does, it hinted -- Israeli intelligence as a sayan (Hebrew for helper), one of the thousands of Jewish citizens of countries other than Israel who cooperate with the katsas (Mossad case-officers). A letter dispatched to French police officials late last winter -- long before the presidential election but somehow kept secret -- revealed that Sarkozy was recruited as an Israeli spy. The French police is currently investigating documents concerning Sarkozy's alleged espionage activities on behalf of Mossad, which Le Figaro claims dated as far back as 1983. According to the author of the message, in 1978, Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin ordered the infiltration of the French ruling Gaullist Party, Union pour un Mouvement Populaire. Originally targeted were Patrick Balkany, Patrick Devedjian and Pierre Lellouche. In 1983, they recruited the young and promising Sarkozy, the fourth man. Ex-Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky describes how sayanim function in By Way Of Deception: The Making and Unmaking of a Mossad Officer. They are usually reached through relatives in Israel. An Israeli with a relative in France, for instance, might be asked to draft a letter saying the person bearing the letter represents an organisation whose main goal is to help save Jewish people in the Diaspora. Could the French relative help in any way? They perform many different roles. A car sayan, for example, running a rental car agency, could help the Mossad rent a car without having to complete the usual documentation. An apartment sayan would find accommodation without raising suspicions, a bank sayan could fund someone in the middle of the night if needs be, a doctor sayan would treat a bullet wound without reporting it to the police. And, a political sayan ? It's rather obvious what this could mean. The sayanim are a pool of people at the ready who will keep quiet about their actions out of loyalty to the cause, a non-risk recruitment system that draws from the millions of Jewish people outside Israel. Such talk sends chills down spines, especially Arab and Muslim ones. Indeed, the revelation did not go unnoticed in Arab capitals or come as much of a surprise. Paris can be a sunny place for shady people. When it comes to intelligence gathering on behalf of Israel, a question mark is immediately raised on the moral calibre of the person in question. But, how does this scandal influence France's foreign and domestic politics? It is of symbolic significance that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was on a state visit to France in the immediate aftermath of Le Figaro 's exposé -- ostensibly to discuss Iran's nuclear agenda and the Palestinian question. Proud and prickly France under its supposedly savvy new president hopes to play a more prominent role in the perplexing world of Middle Eastern politics. On Monday, Sarkozy flew to Morocco, the ancestral home of many of France's Jewry, soon after his Mossad connection was made public. There is no clear evidence that the revelation is to make France

HIGH TIMES asked the world's leading authority on the group to help us separate truth from fiction. By Kris Millegan I hope you are lucky enough to meet someone you trust. I regret to say. I haven't. —Dr, Fredricks [Michael Gambon] in The Good Shepherd The Good Shepherd is Robert De Niro's effort to mine the dramatic materials at the very real-life nexus of secret societies, intelligence agencies and recorded history, apparently in an attempt to forge a Godfather-style franchise. But one is left wincing at the thought of The Good Shepherd. Part II, given that the film begins and ends with the failed Bay of Pigs invasion and its aftermath, with the assassination of JFK and its attendant wilderness of conspiracy lurking just over the horizon, Will the right people end up washing the blood off their hands in a sequel, laying the action off on some mob operation gone rogue, which then had to be covered up for the good of the country? All just an honest mistake But I seem to be getting ahead of myself. I have often been asked. 'What do you think of the movie The Good Shepherd? And the best response I could usually offer was: Well. I haven't seen it yet. I'd been aware of the film for several years, and followed its progress to the silver screen, but I don't get out much. Then, finally, the DVD version of the film wound its way to our local store, and I picked up a copy to see what I could find. My first viewing brought up a host of indignant furies, all riled at the historical hubris of the tale and the simple fact that most of the characters in it and even the film's central story of betrayal are amalgamations at best, and total confabulations at worst. Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying that you shouldn't watch this movie, As a matter of fact. I recommend it highly — but with caveats, as will soon become clear. Similar emotions were probably experienced by the relatives of Mafia members when The Godfather came out: contempt for its errors, but still a satisfaction at seeing a film with some semblance of reality, accurately portraying the Mafia's attitudes, atmosphere and activities while, at the same time, exposing a very tragic and very real group that plays by its own rules and affects us all … immensely.

Among the arrestees, three allegedly molested children during trips abroad, and another three were believed to have filmed children porno scenes abroad. Police also seized about 1.5 million illegal images from one suspect's computer.

Thompson has been crisscrossing the country since early this summer on a private jet lent to him by a businessman and close adviser who has a criminal record for drug dealing. Thompson selected the businessman, Philip Martin, to raise seed money for his White House bid. Martin is one of four campaign co-chairmen and the head of a group called the first day founders. Campaign aides jokingly began to refer to Martin, who has been friends with Thompson since the early 1990s, as the head of Thompson's Airforce. Thompson's frequent flights aboard Martin's twin-engine Cessna 560 Citation have saved him more than $100,000, because until the law changed in September, campaign-finance rules allowed presidential candidates to reimburse private jet owners for just a fraction of the true cost of flights. Martin entered a plea of guilty to the sale of 11 pounds of marijuana in 1979; the court withheld judgment pending completion of his probation. He was charged in 1983 with violating his probation and with multiple counts of felony bookmaking, cocaine trafficking and conspiracy. He pleaded no contest to the cocaine-trafficking and conspiracy charges, which stemmed from a plan to sell $30,000 worth of the drug, and was continued on probation. Thompson's campaign said the candidate was not aware of the multiple criminal cases, for which Martin served no jail time. All are described in public court records. Karen Hanretty, Thompson's deputy communications director, said yesterday that Senator Thompson was unaware of the information until this afternoon. Phil Martin has been a friend of the senator since the mid-1990s and remains so today. Thompson communications director Todd Harris added that Martin was not subjected to the campaign's standard vetting process because he's a longtime friend. There's not a campaign in the world that has the ability to research every one of its supporters going back more than 20 years, Harris said. Martin could not be reached in the past week, and lawyers for him in Tennessee and Florida declined to comment on the criminal cases. Hanretty said she forwarded detailed questions from The Washington Post to Martin yesterday afternoon. Martin, 49, is one of several top political fundraisers with a criminal past to gain access this year to a presidential contender. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton decided in September to return more than $800,000 raised by Norman Hsu, one of her top bundlers, after newspapers disclosed that he had been convicted of fraud and had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. Martin has been more than just a key fundraiser

Ms Whitney, a CIBC analyst who is married to the former World Wrestling Entertainment champion Death Mask, prompted a near 7 per cent drop in Citigroup’s shares on Thursday, after suggesting that the bank needed to raise more than $30 billion to restore its capital cushion. She also downgraded her recommendation on Citigroup’s shares to “market underperform” in the note that set off America’s biggest stock market decline since August. Ms Whitney, Forbes’s second-highest ranked stock picker for 2007, told The Times: “People are scared to be negative, especially when a company has such a wide holding. Clients are not pleased with my call and I have had several death threats. “But it was the most straightforward call I’ve made in my career and I am surprised my peer analysts have been resistant. It’s so straightforward, it’s indisputable.” Ms Whitney, whose marriage to John Charles Layfield, the wrestler, 2½ years ago was detailed in The New York Times, said that she has never felt any pressure from the Wall Street firms themselves to be positive. But she said investors could be “nasty and belligerent” if they felt you had lost them a lot of money by influencing the price of their shares. “No one had the moxie to put in print what I put in print,” she said. Ms Whitney’s note came two weeks after Citigroup reported a 57 per cent drop in its third-quarter profits, following a $6.5 billion writedown, much of which related to the credit crunch. That writedown intensified recurring calls for Chuck Prince, Citigroup’s head, to stand down, although he remains at the helm of the world’s biggest bank. But in a move that will fuel speculation about his position, Mr Prince yesterday cancelled a speech he had been due to give tomorrow at the US Japan Business Conference. A Citigroup spokesman said he had cancelled the appearance to prepare for the company’s new listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Monday. Ms Whitney, 37, met Mr Layfield in 2003 when they were panelists on Bulls Bears, a programme on Fox News. Mr Layfield credits Ms Whitney with helping to make him more sophisticated. The New York Times reported him saying at their wedding: “She took a country boy like me and kind of refined me. I know what fork to use now at the dinner table, and I drink my beer from a glass.” Fed has biggest day of injections since Sept 2001 Thu Nov 1, 2007 9:43am ET
