-Caveat Lector-
The BATF was in a battle for congressional funding; the raid on the Branch
Davidian compound was not staged to enforce the law, it was staged for
public relations purposes - and it was bungled. There was no evidence that
the Davidians had violated any law. The BATF used fabricated information to
obtain a warrant from a careless magistrate. Some of the allegations made
on the affidavit were fraudulent.

US FORCES NOW ESTABLISHING BEACHHEAD IN JORDAN
MID-EAST REALITIES - www.MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 8/13/2002:
The duplicity and collaboration of Hashemite Jordan over the years is
considerable, going way back to the very origins of the regime at the time
of World War I. Now, even as King Abdullah II pretends otherwise, the U.S.
and CIA have already been dispatched to his Kingdom to protect the Royal
Hashemites and large numbers of American forces are beginning to arrive in
Jordan "for major exercises". For additional background information see:

4000 U.S. TROOPS ARRIVING IN JORDAN FOR MAJOR EXERCISES
AMMAN - Tuesday, August 13, 2002 - Middle East Newsline - Jordan is
preparing for the arrival of thousands of U.S. troops for a large-scale
military exercise later this month.
Jordanian officials said the 4,000 U.S. soldiers are sailing through the Red
Sea toward the Hashemite kingdom. They said the first U.S. soldiers arrived
on Monday, Middle East Newsline reported.
The officials said the exercises would not take place in the eastern areas
of Jordan near the Iraqi border.
Western diplomatic sources said Jordan has imposed additional restrictions
on the media on the eve of the arrival of the U.S. soldiers. They said the
closure of Doha-based A-Jazeera television last week was meant to halt
unauthorized reports on the U.S. military exercise.
Jordanian Information Minister Mohammed Adwan said Jordanian and U.S. troops
would conduct a two-week exercise in a training area in southern Jordan.
Adwan termed the exercise as routine and said the U.S. troops would leave
the kingdom after the exercise.
Adwan said Jordan is one of several Arab countries that conduct regular
military exercises with the United States. He cited Bahrain, Egypt, Oman,
the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
Jordanian officials said the U.S.-Jordan maneuvers will focus on improving
the combat skills of the Hashemite kingdom as well as interoperability
between the two militaries. The exercise will include special operations
forces from both countries. They said the exercise will not simulate a U.S.
military attack on Baghdad nor will U.S. soldiers operate along the Iraqi
border.
The sources said the Amman government decided to preempt the arrival of the
U.S. troops and release details of the exercise. The sources said Jordan and
the United States have agreed to hold two ground and air exercises per year
and that all U.S. soldiers will leave by Sept. 8, days after the completion
of the exercise.
