VS-08 will be conducted concurrent with Top Officials 4 (TOPOFF 4), the nation's premier exercise of terrorism preparedness sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, and several other linked exercises as part of the National Level Exercise 1-08. These linked exercises will take place October 15-20 and are being conducted throughout the United States and in conjunction with several partner nations including Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, as well as the Territory of Guam. VS-08 and National Level Exercise 1-08 will provide local, state, tribal, interagency, Department of Defense, and non-governmental organizations and agencies involved in homeland security and homeland defense the opportunity to participate in a full range of exercise scenarios that will better prepare participants to prevent and respond to national crises. The participating organizations will conduct a multi-layered, civilian-led response to a national crisis. USNORTHCOM's primary exercise venues for VS-08 include locations in Oregon, Arizona and a cooperative venue with USPACOM in the Territory of Guam. NORAD's aerospace detection and defense events will take place across all the exercise venues, to exercise the ability to mobilize resources for aerospace defense, aerospace control, maritime warning, and coordination of air operations in a disaster area. [...] Exercise VIGILANT SHIELD Objectives: · Demonstrate multiagency, multijurisdictional unity of effort in support of a civilian-led response to a national crisis through collaboration with local, state, and federal responders to a series of catastrophic events. · Reinforce operational and strategic relationships between USNORTHCOM and the Department of Homeland Security. · Provide an opportunity for local, state, and federal leaders to conduct and lead response efforts within their state including the use of state assets, emergency management assistance agreements, and support from federal resources, including active duty military forces. · Assess NORAD and USNORTHCOM assigned units in the execution of homeland defense and defense support of civil authorities missions. · Evaluate NORAD and USNORTHCOM staff implementation of Concept Plans to include effects-based approach planning and operations to protect the homeland from missile attack. · Provide continuous Integrated Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment to all agencies, via NORAD. · Evaluate various combatant commands' operational coordination. · Develop U.S. government strategic communication themes and objectives to ensure that all exercise agencies communicate with one synchronized voice. · Exercise USNORTHCOM's Ballistic Missile Defense planning and operations to create a seamless coordination of control between combatant commands. · Provide USNORTHCOM opportunities to exercise defense support of civil authorities in the execution of Department of Defense Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, or High-yield Explosive response plans and coordinate AntiTerrorism/ Force Protection activities. · Deploy USNORTHCOM's Mobile Consolidated Command Center. · Conduct interagency and Department of Defense expanded maritime interception operations, maritime domain awareness, maritime warning and maritime operational threat response. - Let's hope that if anyone in NORAD or JFCOM plan to go live into a false flag with space-based or other assets that geopolitical forces opposed to further World War can stop them.

[CTRL] ALERT: Dems may cave to warrantless wiretaps today
-Caveat Lector- * ALERT: Dems may cave to warrantless wiretaps today * http://www.total411.info/2007/10/alert-dems-may-cave-to-warrantless.html ACLU http://www.aclu.org/ sent out this important alert this morning: Congress must remedy the situation it created in August when it handed the Bush Administration vast new powers to invade our privacy with no meaningful oversight from the courts or Congress. When Congress failed freedom, it caused a massive outcry from freedom-loving people across the country. Tell your representative: Stand up for the Constitution, fix FISA.http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=shvCy34CUwMV9ZATIgtVNQ.. As the result of the outcry, two bills were introduced yesterday to fix the disastrous Protect America Act that was rushed through Congress in August, rubberstamping the administration's warrantless wiretapping program. *Both were efforts to fix FISA, but we must make it clear that only the FISA Modernization Bill does the job.* Tell your representative to support the FISA Modernization Bill instead of the RESTORE Act. http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=c3-oiboJ-RGa5I3PByS46w.. *The RESTORE Act caves in to Bush's fear-mongering in a major way* by allowing for program or basket warrants, which aren't really warrants at all. They're the modern-day equivalent of allowing government agents to sit in our living rooms, recording our personal conversations. Only they're more frightening, because the government now has the capacity to monitor us remotely and without our knowledge, and to save the information in a secret database forever. Please, call your representative now to stop basket warrants from being used against Americans.http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=6BLkmg91JIS9FJrrLdLgcg.. Tell him or her to *support *the FISA Modernization Bill of 2007 instead of the RESTORE Act. Here are some talking points for your call: 1. Please *support* the FISA Modernization Act of 2007 introduced by Representative Rush Holt, instead of the RESTORE Act. Only pass a FISA modernization bill that has individualized warrants. 2. Blanket or program warrants that allow the government to vacuum up the international telephone calls and emails of Americans aren't really warrants at all, and they aren't constitutional. 3. Americans are looking to Congress to stand up to the Bush Administration, not cave in to threats of being labeled soft on terrorism. You can look up your representative's phone number and log your call here. It's no surprise that the Bush Administration is again using the threat of terror to bully Congress into giving them more power than they need to keep us safe. To counter these misrepresentations, Congress needs to hear that America can be both safe and free by passing a FISA Modernization bill that protects our constitutional rights. Once you've called your representative, please tell us that you called and if possible, how your call went. This information is extremely helpful to our staff when they meet with Members of Congress, because they're able to convey how many of their constituents care about fixing FISA. Please tell us if you called and how your call went. Thank you for taking action and being involved. - More background available from ACLU here.http://www.aclu.org/safefree/general/32104prs20071009.html -- Posted By Total to TIAhttp://www.total411.info/2007/10/alert-dems-may-cave-to-warrantless.htmlat 10/10/2007 11:06:00 AM -- www.total411.info www.total911.info www.ctrl.org DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

By relying on it, the White House spokesman last week was able to say with a straight face that the administration strongly opposed torture and that any procedures they use are tough, safe, necessary, and lawful. So is enhanced interrogation torture? One way to answer this question is to examine history. The phrase has a lineage. Verscharfte Vernehmung, enhanced or intensified interrogation, was the exact term invented by Hitler's Gestapo to describe what became known as the third degree. The United States prosecuted it as a war crime in 1948. The penalty for those who were found guilty was death. This is how far we've come. See what's new at AOL.com and Make AOL Your Homepage.

I didn't believe America would ever do those things. I'd also supported George W. Bush in 2000, believed it necessary to give the president the benefit of the doubt in wartime, and knew Donald Rumsfeld as a friend. It struck me as a no-brainer that this stuff was being invented by the far left or was part of Al-Qaeda propaganda. After all, they train captives to lie about this stuff, dont they? Bottom line: I trusted the president in a time of war to obey the rule of law that we were and are defending. And then I was forced to confront the evidence. From almost the beginning of the war, it is now indisputable, the Bush administration made a strong and formative decision: in the absence of good intelligence on the Islamist terror threat after 9/11, it would do what no American administration had done before. It would torture detainees to get information. This decision was and is illegal, and violates America's treaty obligations, the military code of justice, the United Nations convention against torture, and U.S. law. Although America has allied itself over the decades with some unsavoury regimes around the world and has come close to acquiescing to torture, it has never itself tortured. It has also, in liberating the world from the evils of Nazism and communism, and in crafting the Geneva conventions, done more than any other nation to banish torture from the world. George Washington himself vowed that it would be a defining mark of the new nation that such tactics, used by the British in his day, would be anathema to Americans. But Bush decided that 9/11 changed all that. Islamists were apparently more dangerous than the Nazis or the Soviets, whom Americans fought and defeated without resorting to torture. The decision to enter what Dick Cheney called the dark side was made, moreover, in secret; interrogators who had no idea how to do these things were asked to replicate some of the methods U.S. soldiers had been trained to resist if captured by the Soviets or Vietcong. Classic torture techniques, such as waterboarding, hypothermia, beatings, excruciating stress positions, days and days of sleep deprivation, and threats to family members (even the children of terror suspects), were approved by Bush and inflicted on an unknown number of terror suspects by American officials, C.I.A. agents and, in the chaos of Iraq, incompetents and sadists at Abu Ghraib. And when the horror came to light, they denied all of it and prosecuted a few grunts at the lowest level. The official reports were barred from investigating fully up the chain of command. Legally, the White House knew from the start that it was on extremely shaky ground. And so officials told pliant in-house lawyers to concoct memos to make what was illegal legal. Their irritation with the rule of law, and their belief that the president had the constitutional authority to waive it, became a hallmark of their work. They redefined torture solely as something that would be equivalent to the loss of major organs or leading to imminent death. Everything else was what was first called coercive interrogation, subsequently amended to enhanced interrogation. These terms were

[CTRL] Fwd: Cardinal calls for Jews to stop calling Jesus a bastard

The controversial comments, by Cardinal Francis George of the Archdiocese of Chicago, concern a prayer said during Easter celebrations by the small number of parishes or priests who celebrate a particular form of Good Friday mass. Those version of Good Friday prayers calls for the congregation to pray for Jews to be converted to Christianity. But Cardinal George said this prayer should be amended to ensure it did not offend Jews. I suspect (the amendment) probably will be (made), because the intention is to be sure that our prayers are not offensive to the Jewish people who are our ancestors in the faith, Cardinal George said in an interview with the National Catholic Reporter. We can't possibly insult them in our liturgy … not that any group has a veto on anybody's prayers, because you can go through Jewish texts and find material that is offensive to us. But if we're interested in keeping the dialogue strong, and we have to be, we should be very cautious about any prayer that they find insulting. But this should mean that Jews, in turn, consider amending their own religious texts, he said. It works both ways. This is an opening to say, 'Would you care to look at the Talmudic literature's description of Jesus as a bastard, and so on, and maybe make a few changes there?'

The contamination was later confirmed by the senior US Senator from Hawaii, The Honorable Daniel Inouye. The first 2007 Army air born radiological contamination survey identified 45 locations with dangerous levels of Gamma Ray radiation from US Army uranium munitions. Satellite radiation observations have not been released by the Pentagon. Bob Nichols Project Censored Award Winner San Francisco Bay View Correspondent http://www.protecthawaii.ws Hawaiian Islands Are Contaminated with Ballistic Uranium By Lindafaye Kroll RN BSN [EMAIL PROTECTED] Army admits to the contamination of Hawaiian islands with depleted uranium spotting rounds on Schofield Barracks, O'ahu and Pohakuloa Training Area, Hawai'i Island. Help us save paradise from this most toxic substance. Public comment to U.S. Army SEIS deadline Oct. 30, 2007 Email Army at mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hawaii Tourism Authority at mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Hawaii) Depleted uranium (DU) is stored in Hawai'i under the Naval Radioactive Materials Permit. The Navy accidentally fired two DU rounds from Pearl Harbor in 1994. The rounds landed somewhere above Aiea and were never recovered. The Environmental Impact Statement of the 25th Infantry Transformation to the Stryker Brigade Combat Team published in 2004 states emphatically that depleted uranium munitions were never part of the Army's arsenal. Despite this claim spent DU spotting rounds were found at Schofield Barracks, (An army base and live-fire training range on O'ahu), in August 2005. This discovery was not disclosed by the military but through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) instigated by concerned residents of Hawai'i. In August 2007 the army admits the Pohakuloa Training Area (An army base and live-fire training range on Hawai'i Island) is also contaminated with depleted uranium spotting rounds. There are hundreds and hundreds of these spent DU rounds on these two live- fire training ranges. Any uranium product used as munitions becomes ballistic once it is fired, launched or dropped. Ballistic depleted uranium contamination is a serious problem in Hawai'i. Depleted uranium is a toxic radioactive waste product of the nuclear industry that has a half life of over 4 billion years. In other words, DU is radioactive forever. The military claims that depleted uranium munitions are low level radioactivity and are not harmful to health and environment. The military's claims are false. The military's talking points are about the solid form depleted uranium, the military never addresses Hawai'i residents' concerns, which is the ballistic form of depleted uranium. When depleted uranium munitions are used in war or artillery practices, these munitions have a devastating effect on public health and the environment. Once DU munitions are launched, they become ballistic. They catch fire, and on impact they can punch through anything with tremendous force causing trillions of tiny radioactive particles of DU dust to be scattered in the environment and carried in the air. This is when the real public health problem begins. Once airborne, these vaporized radioactive heavy metal particles can be inhaled or ingested because of radioactive contamination of air, food or water supply. Many of our U.S. Veterans, serving in combat areas that use DU munitions, are getting sick. Support legislation to test our troops returning from Iraq for depleted uranium. We must stand up for Hawai'i. We must protect our precious islands and our veterans. The military live-fire ranges in Hawai'i are radioactive! See www.sbct-seis.org/ (published July 2007, chapter 3 page 7 Depleted Uranium). We want all live-fire military training stopped in paradise. We want the Stryker Brigade Combat Team to relocate elsewhere. We want our sacred lands to be cleaned up. Practicing to make war in the land of Aloha is inappropriate. Please be pro-active and help us protect Hawai'i; demand the military not store, use or transport depleted uranium in the Hawaiian Islands. Five million tourists visit Hawai'i every year. Would they stop visiting if they knew how contaminated Hawai'i is? We are asking for people all over the world who love Hawai'i to help us protect Hawai'i.

Lucy, Daughter of the Devil, is an ‘adult cartoon’, part of the Turner Broadcasting owned Cartoon Network’s late night line-up. It is a 10 minute CGI comedy show; the plot follows an eccentric and im-witted Satan, who is living in San Francisco, trying to convince his 21-year-old daughter, Lucy, to assume her role as the Antichrist. Along the course of their adventures, Lucy meets and begins to court ‘DJ Jesús’, a laid back techno DJ who turns out to be the second coming of Christ. The show is heavy with blasphemous shocks, but as it is sadly lacking it wit, it rates among the lower end shows featured in the ‘Adult Swim’ programming block; without the talents of H. Jon Benjamen, the brilliant voice actor who providing the voice of Satan, the show likely never would have made it past the pilot. This Sunday an episode of the show entitled ‘Human Sacrifice’ will air, in which the Devil is summoned to attend a ritual human sacrifice at the Bohemian Grove in Northern California, held to honor a senator who has been chosen to be elected as the next president. DJ Jesús is chosen to serve as the sacrificial victim, and is lured to the Grove under the pretext that he will be DJing the ‘most amazing dance party/orgy/political summit on the planet’, which he is told is like the movie ‘Eyes Wide Shut’, except Alan Greenspan and Bono will be there. The Grove, as it appears in the show, was clearly modeled after actual footage of the site which appeared in Alex Jones’ film ‘Dark Secrets Inside Bohemian Grove’, or from the memory of someone who has attended. The ritual begins with torches lighting up the night, and the crowd, which contains ‘half of Washington’, chanting ‘Hail Satan’. The Devil appears and declares that ‘ten presidents have announced their candidacy in front of this unholy alter’, before introducing a comedian to give a pre-sacrifice routine of poop jokes that the Devil had written for him in exchange for his soul. A bit of cartoon mayhem ensues with DJ Jesús escaping the sacrifice in order to provide the music for the crowd. The show finishes by zooming out of an aerial view of the grove, displaying its real- life location in Northern California. I have no doubt that many people within the Truth Movement will attempt to claim that this show was intended to somehow ‘expose the elite’, just as they did when South Park made a brutal mockery of 9/11 Truth. I do not believe that this is the case. In recent years we have seen several examples of this type of public display of the occult nature of the ruling elite, all of which, save Kubrick’s ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ and a couple others, have been done through some form of comedy. It is my assertion that orders for this kind of exposure must in some way trickle down from the top, or it would not be allowed at all. Their motivation in doing this is part of what Alice Bailey called the ‘externalization of the hierarchy’, a process through which those occult masters who have ruled the planet throughout history voluntarily expose themselves and their true nature. This is to be a slow process where we, the public, are gradually familiarized with the concept through the use of gradualism. Comedy shows are the most effective way of doing this, as they put us in such a mood that we are not thinking about what we see in a serious or rational way, and are thus much more susceptible to being familiarized with concepts that would normally evoke fear or revulsion if they were not presented in such a light-hearted manner. Expect to see more and more of this type of thing in the future.

Recent reports indicate that Japanese refiners Cosmo Oil Co. and Japan Energy Corp. have decided to stop paying Iran in US dollars in exchange for oil imports, following Iran's request. By asking its customers to pay in currencies other than the dollar, Iran aims to counter US pressure and protect itself against the weakening American currency. Cosmo, Japan's fourth largest refiner with a production capacity of 635,000 barrels a day, started paying Iran in yen in September, said the company's spokesman, Tatsuya Yano. Iran's crude amounted to 11 percent of what the company processed in the last fiscal year that ended in March, he added. Japan Energy is the country's sixth-largest refiner that consumes around 400,000 barrels a day of crude. Around 12 percent of that amount comes from Iran. We buy all Iranian crude through traders. One of the traders agreed to pay in yen. So, we will pay in yen for part of our Iranian crude purchase, said Japan Energy spokesman, Masanori Takada. Earlier, Japan's largest refiner, Nippon Oil Corp., had also announced that it would be paying in yen in return for Iranian oil. Nippon Oil imports over 110,000 barrels of oil from Iran every day. © Iranian.ws __._,_.___ Complete archives at http://www.sitbot.net/ Please let us stay on topic and be civil.

[CTRL] Fwd: Pelosi Badmouths War Protestors
-Caveat Lector- Begin forwarded message: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: October 10, 2007 2:41:32 PM PDT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Pelosi Badmouths War Protestors http://www.buzzflash.net/story.php?id=27653#comment-5 We have to make responsible decisions in the Congress that are not driven by the dissatisfaction of anybody who wants the war to end tomorrow, Pelosi told the gathering at the Sofitel, arranged by the Christian Science Monitor. Though crediting activists for their passion, Pelosi called it a waste of time for them to target Democrats. They are advocates, she said. We are leaders. Sounds like Bush, doesn't it? We are the DECIDERS -- The people can go to hell! Since when is it a responsible decision to fund the slaughter of innocent people in a criminal war? These leaders of ours are war criminals and members of an aristocracy of moneyed power, political affiliation notwithstanding. They have nothing but disdain for the laws they are sworn to support and defend. It really IS time to grab the pitchforks and torches Smile, Though Your Head Is Aching By Dana Milbank Washington Post, October 10, 2007; A02 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/09/ AR2007100902006_pf.html House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in a determinedly good mood when she sat down to lunch with reporters yesterday. She entered the room beaming and, over the course of an hour, smiled no fewer than 31 times and got off at least 23 laughs. But her spirits soured instantly when somebody asked about the anger of the Democratic base over her failure to end the war in Iraq. Look, she said, the chicken breast on her plate untouched. I had, for five months, people sitting outside my home, going into my garden in San Francisco, angering neighbors, hanging their clothes from trees, building all kinds of things -- Buddhas? I don't know what they were -- couches, sofas, chairs, permanent living facilities on my front sidewalk. Unsmilingly, she continued: If they were poor and they were sleeping on my sidewalk, they would be arrested for loitering, but because they have 'Impeach Bush' across their chest, it's the First Amendment. Though opposed to the war herself, Pelosi has for months been a target of an antiwar movement that believes she hasn't done enough. Cindy Sheehan has announced a symbolic challenge to Pelosi in California's 8th Congressional District. And the speaker is seething. We have to make responsible decisions in the Congress that are not driven by the dissatisfaction of anybody who wants the war to end tomorrow, Pelosi told the gathering at the Sofitel, arranged by the Christian Science Monitor. Though crediting activists for their passion, Pelosi called it a waste of time for them to target Democrats. They are advocates, she said. We are leaders. It was a rather fierce response to the party's liberal base, which frightens many a congressional Democrat. But it wasn't out of character for the new speaker. Pelosi's fixed and constant smile makes her appear as if she is cutting an ad for a whitening toothpaste. But when you listen to the words that come from her grinning maw, the smile seems more akin to that of a barracuda. One reporter asked about Democratic lawmakers who proposed a tax increase for the war. They were not making legislation; they were making a point, Pelosi judged. Another asked about a Republican congressman's complaints that the word God was removed from certificates accompanying congressional flags. I don't know what his point is, Pelosi volleyed. Complaints that she didn't go far enough on climate-change legislation? We did not say we were going to do any more than we did. The Senate's stalemate on the war? We in the House will not be confining our legislation initiatives to what is legislatively possible in the Senate. Pelosi admitted no mistakes and claimed no regrets as she reflected on her first session in the speaker's chair. I'm very proud of the work of this Congress, she declared. Evidently so: She repeated how proud she was nine times. Passing the recommendations of the 9/11 commission made her very proud, while energy legislation made her very, very proud, and new ethics rules made her especially proud. What do you see as your greatest mistake? asked one reporter. Pelosi smiled. Why don't you tell me? she proposed. She smiled again, then laughed. 'Cause I think we're doing just great. She laughed again. Even those approval ratings for Congress, in the teens and 20s, didn't evoke regrets. I don't like the numbers for Congress, she admitted, but I'm very pleased with the Democratic numbers. She then took an unusual detour into polling minutiae. Today the Rasmussen numbers were the third time that we were double-digit ahead in the generic, she
[CTRL] Fwd: SITE Gets Sore Eyes
-Caveat Lector- Begin forwarded message: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: October 10, 2007 3:04:28 PM PDT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SITE Gets Sore Eyes White House Leak to Fox News Severed a Link to Al-Qaeda's Secrets http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/09/ AR2007100900791_2.html?hpid=topnews snip ... SITE -- an acronym for the Search for International Terrorist Entities -- was established in 2002 with the stated goal of tracking and exposing terrorist groups, according to the company's Web site. Katz, an Iraqi-born Israeli citizen whose father was executed by Saddam Hussein in the 1960s, has made the investigation of terrorist groups a passionate quest. Quoting Rita Katz --a Jersey housewife stereotypically married to a doctor-- who operates SITE as a home-based business out of her garage: Mata Hari has nothing on me. We were able to establish sources that provided us with unique and important information into al-Qaeda's hidden world, Katz said. Her company's income is drawn from subscriber fees and contracts. Katz said she decided to offer an advance copy of the bin Laden video to the White House without charge so officials there could prepare for its eventual release. She spoke first with White House counsel Fred F. Fielding, whom she had previously met, and then with Joel Bagnal, deputy assistant to the president for homeland security. Both expressed interest in obtaining a copy, and Bagnal suggested that she send a copy to Michael Leiter, who holds the No. 2 job at the National Counterterrorism Center. Administration and intelligence officials would not comment on whether they had obtained the video separately. Katz said Fielding and Bagnal made it clear to her that the White House did not possess a copy at the time she offered hers. Around 10 a.m. on Sept. 7, Katz sent both Leiter and Fielding an e- mail with a link to a private SITE Web page containing the video and an English transcript. Please understand the necessity for secrecy, Katz wrote in her e-mail. We ask you not to distribute . . . [as] it could harm our investigations. Fielding replied with an e-mail expressing gratitude to Katz. It is you who deserves the thanks, he wrote, according to a copy of the message. There was no record of a response from Leiter or the national intelligence director's office. Exactly what happened next is unclear. But within minutes of Katz's e-mail to the White House, government-registered computers began downloading the video from SITE's server, according to a log of file transfers. The records show dozens of downloads over the next three hours from computers with addresses registered to defense and intelligence agencies. By midafternoon, several television news networks reported obtaining copies of the transcript. A copy posted around 3 p.m. on the Fox News Web site referred to SITE and included page markers identical to those used by the group. This confirms that the U.S. government was responsible for the leak of this document, Katz wrote in an e-mail to Leiter at 5 p.m. Al-Qaeda supporters, now alerted to the intrusion into their secret network, put up new obstacles that prevented SITE from gaining the kind of access it had obtained in the past, according to Katz. A small number of private intelligence companies compete with SITE in scouring terrorists' networks for information and messages, and some have questioned the company's motives and methods, including the claim that its access to al-Qaeda's network was unique. One competitor, Ben Venzke, founder of IntelCenter, said he questions SITE's decision -- as described by Katz -- to offer the video to White House policymakers i.e., PR men rather than quietly share it with intelligence analysts. It is not just about getting the video first, Venzke said. It is about having the proper methods and procedures in place to make sure that the appropriate intelligence gets to where it needs to go in the intelligence community and elsewhere in order to support ongoing counterterrorism operations. Staff writer Spencer S. Hsu contributed to this report. -- repost This new video was not posted on any established Islamic web site. It was 'intercepted' by a Jew named Rita Katz and turned over to the news. This is not the first Al-Qaeda tape that Rita Katz has turned over to the news. http://www.savethemales.ca/ 001887.html Tonight on 60 Minutes: Terrorist Chicken Laundering By John Sugg, Creative Loafing (Atlanta) Posted on June 12, 2003 http://www.alternet.org/story/16163/ Beware, if you visit Gainesville, Ga., of the terrorist chickens, alleged feathered friends of Osama bin Laden operating out of training camps (OK, deep fryers) near the shores of Lake Lanier.
