I guess when Michael Springman was being forced by his state department superiors to give business visas to obvious non businessmen from saudi arabia, it was all the work of al quaida. Has al quaida infiltrated the CIA or vice versa? Enquiring minds wanna know.
Michael Springman was a contributor to the Kristina Borjesson book INTO THE BUZZSAW. He was a member of the American Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia who caught hell from the CIA desk for refusing visas to men who obviously were not arab businessmen. Accuracy in Media's founder was paid by the CIA to purposely attack JFK researchers who did not buy into the Oswald lone nutter theory. World Net Daily's Joe Farah is a token arab in the zionist firmament. You keep drinking from the same poisoned wells in an attempt to draw sustenance.
