����������������������� How Israel Created the Myth of Al-Qaeda
By Seymour Hersh
These Israeli citizens came into Iraq disguised as Arab or Kurdish
civilians, businessmen. �Maybe "contractors"?�� Under contract with the
Pentagon's neocon office? Your tax dollars at work?
How much of their work is blamed on Abu Musab�al-Zarqawi? How much of
Israel's terrorism is blamed on "Al-Qaeda"?
I have investigated the development of the "mujahideen" and here is my conclusion:
In the 80's, Israel supervised the recruitment of Arab Afghan "mujahideen" supposedly to fight against Russia.�� They became cannon fodder and refugees before they ended up in Guantanamo.
THEIR REAL PURPOSE WAS TO HELP ISRAEL CREATE A USEFUL MYTH: AL-QAEDA.
The Arab mujahideen were rather harmless as�recent revelations from Guantanamo have shown.
Israeli and Jewish-American intelligence specialists were trusted by the
CIA--Israelis being "allies" and experts on the Middle East--to recruit
the Arab "mujahideen" to be used by the US� against Russia. Israelis
disguised as Arab or Pakistani missionaries� (tablighis) even ran the recruitment centers. Israelis playing Muslim�missionaries (tablighis) were caught in India and Israel rushed to�retrieve them.
The Arab "mujahideen" themselves were inefficient�and almost useless. I
have heard from the relatives of many who died in�vain in clumsy incidents in Afghanistan.
All the Zionists wanted was a story, a myth that would enable them to create another myth: "Al-Qaeda." The Zionists� needed this myth as an excuse for their long-term plans for the "war on terror," a war to destabilize the Middle East and pit the world against Muslims.
Neither Bin Laden nor the Arab refugees he took�care of were of any
military significance. The Afghans themselves� were the real efficient mujahideen because they knew the territory and�the tribal structure. The Afghans actually saw the Arabs as nuisance.
Arabs say "nothing comes out of a pot except what's in it." When the neocon liars speak about Arab/Islamic terrorism� and Al-Qaeda, they are in fact talking about what they
themselves are� doing. They are talking about Israeli covert activities.
No Arabs are involved. Israeli commandos move around using forged or stolen Arab ID's and--if necessary--they wear� masks to hide their real identities, such as in beheading videos.
Israelis continue to fake whatever it takes to�prove that the "war on terror," i.e. the war on Arabs, has to continue.
Listen to them more carefully, folks. The� Zionists in our midst have been telling us the truth all along. Just replace�"Arab" with "Israeli," replace "Al-Qaeda" with "Mossad," etc.

German news video http://www.swr.de/report/archiv/sendungen/040705/02/04070502.ram
Moderation Fritz Frey:
Reports from Iraq: the daily attack, Saddam on trial, kidnapped
soldiers, every new headline covers over the preceding one. The scandal
of the torture prison of Abu Ghraib, oh yes, that was indeed one.
REPORT has stuck to this story and has in the process come across a
totally unbelievable suspicion. In Abu Ghraib and elsewhere children
and youth have been incarcerated and mistreated.� Thomas Reutter with a
difficult search for clues.
Report:
With tanks coming through the gate. U.S. soldiers storm an apartment
building looking for terrorists.� Sometimes during such roundups the
soldiers also arrest children.� What happens to the children? About
that the military gives no information. We investigate, as it happens,
through informants.
One of them, who is knowledgeable about these things, is Sergeant
Samuel Provance from� U.S. Army Intelligence.� For half a year he was
stationed in the notorious Abu Ghraib torture-prison.� Today, five
months later, we meet with Sergeant Provance in Heidelberg.
His superiors have strictly forbidden him from reporting to journalists
about what he experienced in Abu Ghraib. Yet Provance wants to talk
about it nonetheless. Pangs of conscience plague him. He tells us about
one 16-year-old, whom he himself had to lead away.
O-Ton, Samuel Provance, US-Sergeant:
"He was full of fear, very alone.� He had the thinnest little arms that
I have ever seen.� His whole body shook. His wrists were so thin that
we could not put handcuffs on him. As soon as I saw him for the first
time and led him to the interrogation, I felt sorry for him. The
interrogation specialists doused him with water and put him in a truck.
Then they drove with him throughout the night, and at that time it
was very, very cold. Then they smeared him with mud and showed him to his
likewise imprisoned father. With him [the father] they had tried out
other interrogation methods.� But they had not succeeded in making him
talk.�� The interrogation specialists told me that after the father had
seen his son in that condition, it broke his heart. He wept and
promised to tell them what they wanted to know."
The son however remained in custody, and the 16-year-old was put in with the adults. Yet Provance reported also about a special department, expressly for children.� A secret children's wing in the horror prison of Abu Ghraib.
One person, who has seen the children's wing with his own eyes, is the
journalist Suhaib Badr-Addin Al-Baz.� Our correspondent met him some
weeks ago in Baghdad. The Iraqi TV reporter related how he himself was
arrested arbitrarily by the Americans while shooting film and spent 74
days in Abu Ghraib.
�O-Ton, Suhaib Badr-Addin Al-Baz, Fernsehreporter:
"There I saw a camp for children.� Young, under the age of puberty. In
�this camp were certainly hundreds of children.� Some of them have been
�released, others are definitely still in there."
>From his solitary cell in the adults' wing, Suhaib heard a perhaps
12-year-old girl weeping.� Later he learned that her brother was on the
third floor of the prison.� One or two times, says Suhaib, he saw her
himself.
In the night, according to Suhaib, they were with her in her cell.�
The girl shreiked out to the other prisoners and called out to her� brother.
O-Ton, Suhaib Badr-Addin Al-Baz, Fernsehreporter:
"She was beaten.� I heard her call: 'They have undressed me.� They
have poured water over me."
Daily, says Suhaib, one heard her crying and wimpering. Many of the
prisoners wept when they heard her. Suhaib reported also about a sick
15-year-old youth.� [They chased him up and down the corridor with heavy
water canisters. translation uncertain] For so long until he collapsed from
exhaustion, says Suhaib. Then they brought in his father, also a
prisoner. He had a hood over his head. From shock the youth collapsed
once again.
In the so-called "War on Terrorism," the Americans storm Iraqi houses.
According to Suhaib, they sometimes in the process seize whole families
who appear suspicious to them.�� Statements from individual witnesses,
difficult to confirm.
In the report it reads:
Citation:
"Children, who had been seized in Basra and Kerbala, were routinely
put over into an internment facility in Um Qasr.
Internment camp Um Qasr.�� Footage/photos from 2003.� Today it is too dangerous for reporters� to travel to Um Qasr.� The camp, a prison for terrorists and criminals.�� Precisely here should Americans therefore hold children interned as prisoners of war.
"The classification of these children as "internees" is alarming, since it contains them for an indefinite time in prison, without contact with their families or expectation of legal proceedings or trial."
Over this up-to-now unpublished report UNICEF does not yet want to say anything.�� [Their reason is that] Their own workers in Iraq should not be put in danger. Seeking more information, we turned to the International Committee of the Red Cross, whose helpers inspected Um Qasr, Abu Ghraib and other places of detention.� And after intensive conversations came a further confirmation and even statistics.
O-Ton, Florian Westphal, Internationales Komitee vom Roten Kreuz:
"We have recorded a total of 107 children between January and May of this year in the course of 19 visits to 6 different detention places. And it must be emphasized that these are detention places that are controlled by coalition troops."
In the internment camp Um Qasr and also in Abu Ghraib the Red Cross recorded minors as prisoners. Two international organizations confirmed to us independently of each other that the occupation troops are holding Iraqi children prisoner.� Yet we have not received any information directly from the prisons.� Even UNICEF was not allowed to visit the child prison in Baghdad.
Zitat:
�"In July 2003 UNICEF applied for a visit to this detention facility, but access was refused."
Since December, according to UNICEF, there have been no independent observers in the children's prison.� To be sure, the U.S. Army opened the scandal-prison Abu Ghraib for a tour for journalists.� Yet the reporters were presented with a for-show facility. Child prisoners were not shown to the press.
We hold fast to this: four sources confirm independently of one another, that occupation troops are holding children as prisoners.� Two witnesses even report instances of maltreatment.�� The human rights organization Amnesty International is outraged over the reports of Iraqi child prisoners. Barbara Lochbihler of Amnesty International, Germany, calls for follow-up action.
O-Ton, Barbara Lochbihler, Generalsekretrin amnesty international:
"The U.S. government has to respond to this report, it must give concrete information about how old the children are, the grounds on which they have been detained, and under what circumstances they were incarcerated. And here we do not know the names of the children or how many children are there. That is scandalous."
Concluding moderation by Fritz Frey:
Self-evidently, we have confronted the responsible authorities with our research.� The British Defense Ministry responded: Children and youth are not being held prisoner by British troops.� We are still waiting for an answer from the American Pentagon.

�������������� Bloodshed in Baghdad as Insurgents
�������������� Try to Isolate Government
����By Robert Fisk
����Thursday 15 July 2004
�����Lord Butler told us yesterday that Tony Blair acted in good faith. So that's all right then. At the al-Yarmouk hospital in Baghdad yesterday morning, there was blood on the walls, blood on the floor, blood on the doctors, blood on the stretchers. In the dangerous oven of Baghdad, 10 more lives had just ended. So what was it Tony Blair said in the Commons yesterday afternoon? "We are not killing civilians in Iraq; terrorists are killing civilians in Iraq." So that's all right then. Question: Are Baghdad and London on the same planet?
�����The suicide bomber blew up his 1,000lbs of explosives at 10 minutes to nine. Between six and nine in the morning are the most dangerous hours in Baghdad - after the fajr dawn prayers which the killers attend - and my window rattled in its frame several times, an Iraqi heartbeat that signals death.
�����A great drift of grey-black smoke drifted up from the walled-off, Tigris-side compound where the Americans and the British and the new American-chosen Iraqi government have their headquarters. By the time I crossed the river, it was the same old story; body parts, blood congealing on the hot road - Iraqi blood, of course - smouldering cars and smashed concrete, and policemen and soldiers shooting wildly into the air.
�����"I saw the suicide bomber," a driver told me in a bland, disinterested sort of way. "He was driving an old Land Cruiser and weaving through the cars at the checkpoint and people thought he was queue-jumping, trying to get to the checkpoint in front of them. No one fired at him; the shooting came after the explosion, and then it was too late."
�����Most of those who died were Iraqis seeking work from the Iraqi authorities. Two were Iraqi policemen (salary: �118 a month). And one, of course, was the bomber. So whose severed hand lay on the road beside the blasted concrete walls?
�����"The forces of evil," was how Iraq's Prime Minister, the former CIA operative Iyad Allawi, described the murderer yesterday. He visited the scene, though he was mercifully spared a visit to the Yarmouk hospital where one Iraqi arrived with his arm a mangled stump (was it his hand on the road?) and another with blood seeping from a fearful gash in his neck. There were more than 50 wounded.
�����Colonel Robert Campbell, of the US Army's "Task Force 3/8" said the blast-proof barriers - where his men were "protecting Iraq's young government" - saved other lives. He may have been right.
�����But the real reason for yesterday's little bloodbath was about the isolation of Iraq's new government. This is the fourth checkpoint bombing around the same compound and the purpose is obvious. Iraqi officials cannot leave their Crusader-style fortress with its massive ramparts and walls. Ordinary Iraqis must go to them. And queue. And wait. And walking up to those checkpoints is becoming a macabre, frightening experience.
�����If the insurgents cannot get inside the walls, they can at least imprison those inside by attacking the perimeter, cut them off from the rest of Iraq, make the government's presence irrelevant to the millions of Iraqis who, so Mr Blair was assuring us yesterday, are going to enjoy "democracy".
�����But in truth, the authorities here are already cut off from the rest of Iraq. Baquba is run by armed men. Insurgents control Samara and Fallujah and Ramadi, and Muqtada Sadr's militia control the centre of Najaf.
�����The Phillipine army's humanitarian unit is withdrawing under the threat of insurgents, who threatened to cut off a Filipino hostage's head, just as the Spanish contingent withdrew this year. And the Honduran contingent.
�����And after the beheading on Tuesday night of a Bulgarian hostage - the videotape quickly made available by his killers for those who want to know what it looks like when a man has his head sliced off with a knife - perhaps the Bulgarian army will go.
�����There is one Bulgarian hostage left, his execution date set for last night. And two more Iraqi officials were murdered last night: an industry ministry official, Sabir Karim and, reportedly, the governor of Mosul, Yusef Qashmullah.
�����But we acted in good faith. Invading Iraq was the right thing to do. And over and over again, in London yesterday, officials and ministers referred to the Iraqi war in the past tense. About the only thing Iraqis could have agreed with was Lord Butler's remark about the search for Saddam's weapons, that "Iraq is a very big place and there is lots of sand ..."
�����The al-Yarmouk hospital, needless to say, was the one place not to quote Tony Blair's assertion that although terrorists were killing Iraqis today, "people were being killed in Iraq, thousands of them, under Saddam".
�����Forgetting that up to 11,000 Iraqis appear to have been killed since our invasion, it seems that it's better to be killed post-Saddam than pre-Saddam.
�����So that's all right then.
