I am already familiar with the Amnesty International reports, the UN reports, The Human Rights Watch reports and the ACLU reports. What we need to do for my appeal is to gather evidence that will hold up in court as submittable evidence concerning the cruel and inhumane and violent situation that women face in US prisons today.I discovered that Canada has only refused extradition on individuals facing the death penalty in the country seeking their extradition. I face a mandatory minimum of 10 years to life in a US federal prison. Those of you unfamiliar with my case please see my website for details: http://www.reneeboje.com Although I do not face the death penalty, I sincerely fear for my own life if I am sent back to a US prison to serve such a lengthy sentence. I know this would kill my spirit, so to speak and damage me physically, emotionally and mentally as I have researched extensively the cruel treatment women are enduring in US prisons today. For example, over 50% of the guards watching women in US prisons today are men and as a result, there is a widespread problem throughout the US of prison guards raping female inmates and getting away with it because most of their fellow guards look out for one another and do not turn each other in very frequently. So, when female prisoners complain to a guard they trust of such an attack, they are often punished further in an effort to silence their complaints.There is also a widespread outbreak now in US prisons of hepatitis c and prisoners are now dying due to the improper medical care and neglect they receive in American prisons today. I believe this type of evidence helps to prove that my life would indeed be in danger in a US prison.I have spent the last two weeks familiarizing myself with these types of atrocities and more and as a result I got very ill and came down with a severe lung infection I am now working on healing. This type of research is too close to home for me now as I am told I have less than 2 years to fight for my freedom now in Canada and I must rely on my inner strength in order to see my journey to it's end in hopes to win my case either at the Court of Appeals level or at the Supreme Court of Canada. And, I must be strong for my son Shiva who is now 3 and a bright and beautiful little boy who needs his mommy to be grounded for him as all little one's do. This is why I am asking for assistance. If you know of anyone who I might connect with to ask them to do this type of research, please let me know. Also if you come across something that you believe would be a strong submission for my case in this regard, please pass it on to my attention at [EMAIL PROTECTED]Thank you. I would like to take a moment here to express my extreme grattitude for the many friends and allies who have lent me their support during my trying ordeal here in Canada. I could not do this alone and am so appreciative of everyone's encouragement, support and assistance. It means more to me than you will ever know.

[cia-drugs] Script of the Christianist Jihadists.
It is a script. And Christianist Jihadists follow it religiously. :) These are the same people fighting most hard for the drug war, and against the "demon weed." Please forward. - Here is the script. An Australian TV station ran this show October 22, 2003. Someone posted the transcript of the show at the link below. There is also video of the show there. You have to turn down your browser security down to at least medium to view the video. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article5062.htm Christian Jihadists Majority Leader Tom DeLay actively lobbies against a Palestinian state, based in part on his interpretation of the Bible. This politician is a hero at the prophecy conference. Left Behind: SBS. Australia. Datline: Broadcast 10/22/03 A storm erupted in Washington last week over an uneasy mix of religion and politics. A senior defence department official was castigated for claiming that God put George Bush into the White House to fight Satan. Controversial for some but for two American authors, religion and politics have proved astoundingly successful, clocking up book sales of 58 million. Bronwyn Adcock has more. TRANSCRIPT:REPORTER: Bronwyn AdcockSPEAKER: Our goal is to challenge every person within the sound of our voices today, with the truth that soon Jesus Christ is going to come, and the central question is this - if Christ were to come today, are you ready for him to come?Getting ready for the second coming of Christ is why these people are here at this conference on prophecy in Houston, Texas. The guest today is a superstar in the world of biblical prophecy. Dr Tim LaHaye is an expert on the Bible's Book of Revelation, which some Christians interpret as a literal account of how the world will end.DR. TIM LAHAYE: Here we have the Rapture of the church is going to come at any time, possibly within the lifetime of many of us. After that there's a little 7-year tribulation period when God will shake the earth and give man an opportunity to who missed the Rapture to receive Christ.Dr LaHaye has turned his interest in prophecy into a publishing phenomenon, with a fiction series based on the Book of Revelation. Called 'Left Behind', the series begins with the key event in Revelation - the Rapture, when all believers are taken up to heaven and non-believers are left behind. Five of the books in series have debuted at number one on the US best-seller list. They regularly outsell authors like John Grisham and Stephen King.DR. TIM LAHAYE: That's happening all over America.Tim LaHaye says he got the inspiration on a plane trip 15 years ago when he was thinking about the Rapture.DR. TIM LAHAYE: And I was sitting there and the captain came out of the cabin and started flirting with a flight attendant. And I looked down and I noticed he had a wedding ring on but she didn't. And the sparks between them were obvious, and I began to think, Well now, what would happen if when he went back into the cabin, if she's pounding on the door and she's screaming, "Captain, there are 100 people missing from our aircraft?"MOVIE SCENE: They're not here, they're not anywhere, OK. Their shoes, their clothes, ... it's crazy. All left behind. The people are gone.'Left Behind' has been made into a movie. While the film never came close to the success of the books, it tells the same story. The central character is the plane's captain.DR. TIM LAHAYE: And so he comes back and he turns to the co-pilot and he says, "You don't suppose this is that Rapture that my wife's been telling me about?" And then it dawns on him. If it is, when I get home, she'll be gone 'cause she was a Christian and I'll be left behind. And he becomes the hero for the entire series.While Christians are taken up to heaven, those left behind wage a 7-year battle on earth against forces led by the anti-Christ.REPORTER: I mean can you see why these books are so popular now?DR. TIM LAHAYE: Well, basically because there's an element of truth. It's fiction characters that describe the truth and so people want to know about the future and these books give it to them in a very short dose, an interesting manner. It's an excellent tool for education.WOMAN: I think you're amazing and I absolutely love the books, love them.It's not surprising that at the prophecy conference sales are booming. But this is a nationwide phenomenon. Including offshoots like children's books and videos, 58 million copies have sold, the vast majority in America. LaHaye claims the books have converted many people to Christianity.MAN: From reading 'Left Behind' series, I went on to read Revelation itself and I went on to read the Book of Daniel and I'm goin' on to study the Bible and just overall I've just got such a deep interest in it now. I can't believe it. I think about it every day. Everything I do causes me to think prophecy, future, God, Jesus, and it's all I think about.WOMAN: I think it was a brilliant idea that these gentlemen decided to
[cia-drugs] Chavez military moves eyed
http://www.boston.com/news/world/latinamerica/articles/2005/07/17/chavez_military_moves_eyed/ Chavez military moves eyed US, other critics fear Venezuelan leader's intent By Indira A.R. Lakshmanan, Globe Staff | July 17, 2005 CARACAS -- President Hugo Chavez's weapons deals with Russia, his curbs on military cooperation with the United States, and his plans to train as many as 2 million Venezuelan civilians to repel a possible invasion by an ''imperialist" superpower have the United States and his domestic critics worried about what the leftist former military officer is up to. Chavez insists that the moves are purely defensive, born of an overdue need to update obsolete military hardware and protect his country from nations that might want to take control of South America's largest petroleum- producing state. His domestic opponents scoff at the idea that Washington would ever invade Venezuela, and charge that Chavez's true intention is to arm a huge cadre of loyal reservists who would protect him against any internal uprising and to promote himself as a militarized counterweight to US influence in Latin America. Even more troubling, say his detractors in Washington, is that as Chavez grows closer to his major ally, Cuban leader Fidel Castro, his arms purchases and indoctrination of civilian militias could be part of a strategy to restructure Venezuelan democracy in the image of Cuban-style militarized socialism and foment leftist revolutions throughout the continent. US military strategists say they are increasingly concerned that radical movements inspired by Chavez could foment such revolution. Since the late 1990s, the political mainstream in Latin America has shifted leftward, largely in reaction to the perceived failure of free- market economics, and leftists have been elected to lead Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Ecuador, as well as Venezuela. Chavez's supporters at home counter that the United States has a century-long history of open as well as covert armed intervention in the region's domestic politics, so it has no right to question Venezuela's defense preparations. ''We never ask what the US Marines are doing," said Carlos Roque Espinoza Leon, a pro-Chavez defense specialist who serves in Venezuela's National Assembly. ''Peru has 500,000 rifles and no one says anything. Colombia is the most militarized country in Latin America, and no one complains. ''US history is full of aggression in Latin America, and we have to do whatever we must to protect our country," he said. Chavez, who was first elected in 1998 and who has a popularity rating of 71 percent, according to independent polling firm Datanalisis, has famously said that his so-called Bolivarian revolution is ''peaceful, but not unarmed." Alberto Garrido, a Venezuelan military analyst, said Chavez is looking for allies in Russia, China, and Iran to ''promote a multi-polar world" to counteract US dominance and encourage grassroots movements in Latin America to throw off Washington's influence. In May, Chavez's government announced details of an $18.6 million deal with a Russian firm to purchase 100,000 AK-103 assault rifles, the modern update on the Kalashnikov, along with 30 rounds of ammunition each and the technology transfer for Venezuela to manufacture the rifles. The deal works out to $186.22 per rifle, considerably less costly than the US mail-order price of $825 to $850 for the same weapon. Venezuela also intends to buy 10 Russian helicopters, 10 Spanish transport planes, and six Spanish naval craft, and is negotiating with Brazil to buy about two dozen air support and training planes, according to government officials. Chavez has insisted -- and even his staunchest retired military critics here agree -- that the purchases are essential to update old weaponry, especially glaring in the case of the military's decades-old Belgian FAL rifles. ''We can't say Chavez is engaged in an arms buildup -- that's an exaggeration," said retired General Fernando Ochoa Antich, who was defense minister in 1992 when then-Lieutenant Colonel Chavez launched a failed coup. ''Venezuela hasn't purchased arms in 25 years, and he's not aggressively buying weapons in a way that would threaten his neighbors. ''But Venezuela has never bought Russian arms before. Why is he doing it? To make himself independent from the US," Ochoa said. ''But why is he buying a caliber of rifle popular among subversive forces in Latin America? . . . The political support he gives to radical leftist movements makes him a continental menace." The Pentagon has openly questioned what Chavez will do with the old FAL rifles, and whether he might share weapons or ammunition with guerrilla forces in Latin America. The US government has provided no evidence, however, of Chavez arming or funding leftist insurgencies. Military analysts and specialists on the Colombian FARC guerrillas say the rebels have plenty of money
[cia-drugs] Kiev studying Iran-Europe gas pipeline
http://www.iranmania.com/News/ArticleView/Default.asp?NewsCode=33405NewsKind=Current%20Affairs Kiev studying Iran-Europe gas pipeline Sunday, July 17, 2005 - ©2005 IranMania.com LONDON, July 17 (IranMania) - Ukraine plans to join an international consortium to build a gas pipeline for transportation of Iranian gas to Europe, Petro Poshenko, the Head of Ukrainian National Defense and Security Council said at a press conference, according to Ukraine-based internet newspaper Forum. Poshenko said he had discussed the issue during his visit to Iran. according to Iran Daily. Talks with Iran were held when Viktor Yushchenko was prime minister in 2000, he said. Several possible routes through Armenia, Georgia, Russia, and also Turkey and the Black Sea have been considered, he said. Experts have six weeks to calculate the costs and profit margins of the routes and determine which one is the best, he added. Deputy energy ministers from the countries interested in the pipeline are to meet in Iran on July 24-25, Poroshenko said. Specific deadlines and the list of countries taking part will be determined at the meeting. The project could cost over $10 billion and see over one thousand kilometers of pipeline in Iranian territory alone, he said. Iran is ready to take part in financing the laying of the gas pipeline in its territory and guarantee determined volumes of gas supplies and fix prices for the recoupment period, he said.

[cia-drugs] China has deployed 14 new subs since 2002; increased patrols
http://www.geostrategy-direct.com/China has deployed 14 new subs since 2002; increased patrols projected China's very public surfacing of a nuclear-powered submarine near Japan in November surprised Japan's defense forces, which went on alert and chased the Han-class vessel southwest of Okinawa. Beijing claimed the submarine incursion was due to a technical error. But Pentagon officials believe the Chinese were testing Japan's submarine detection capabilities. Pentagon officials said there have been no similar Chinese submarine deployments near U.S. coasts, but the Han attack submarine in question also sailed near Guam, where U.S. military forces are building up. A Pentagon intelligence official said China is expected to conduct more submarine patrols in the future. "As the force increases in size, we're going to see them more and more frequently, especially as they develop proficiency and comfort with the use of the submarine force." China's submarine buildup includes the deployment of at least 14 new submarines since 2002. Complete archives at http://www.sitbot.net/ Please let us stay on topic and be civil. OM YAHOO!

[cia-drugs] Fwd: [ctrl] Follow the Uranium
Begin forwarded message:From: "Alamaine" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: July 17, 2005 4:15:13 AM PDTTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [ctrl] Follow the UraniumReply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] July 17, 2005Follow the Uraniumhttp://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/17/opinion/17rich.html?pagewanted=printBy FRANK RICH"I am saying that if anyone was involved in that type of activity which I referred to, they would not be working here."- Ron Ziegler, press secretary to Richard Nixon, defending the presidential aide Dwight Chapin on Oct. 18, 1972. Chapin was convicted in April 1974 of perjury in connection with his relationship to the political saboteur Donald Segretti."Any individual who works here at the White House has the confidence of the president. They wouldn't be working here at the White House if they didn't have the president's confidence."- Scott McClellan, press secretary to George W. Bush, defending Karl Rove on Tuesday.WELL, of course, Karl Rove did it. He may not have violated the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982, with its high threshold of criminality for outing a covert agent, but there's no doubt he trashed Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame. We know this not only because of Matt Cooper's e-mail, but also because of Mr. Rove's own history. Trashing is in his nature, and bad things happen, usually through under-the-radar whispers, to decent people (and their wives) who get in his way. In the 2000 South Carolina primary, John McCain's wife, Cindy, was rumored to be a drug addict (and Senator McCain was rumored to be mentally unstable). In the 1994 Texas governor's race, Ann Richards found herself rumored to be a lesbian. The implication that Mr. Wilson was a John Kerry-ish girlie man beholden to his wife for his meal ticket is of a thematic piece with previous mud splattered on Rove political adversaries. The difference is that this time Mr. Rove got caught. Even so, we shouldn't get hung up on him - or on most of the other supposed leading figures in this scandal thus far. Not Matt Cooper or Judy Miller or the Wilsons or the bad guy everyone loves to hate, the former CNN star Robert Novak. This scandal is not about them in the end, any more than Watergate was about Dwight Chapin and Donald Segretti or Woodward and Bernstein. It is about the president of the United States. It is about a plot that was hatched at the top of the administration and in which everyone else, Mr. Rove included, are at most secondary players. To see the main plot, you must sweep away the subplots, starting with the Cooper e-mail. It has been brandished as a smoking gun by Bush bashers and as exculpatory evidence by Bush backers (Mr. Rove, you see, was just trying to ensure that Time had its facts straight). But no one knows what this e-mail means unless it's set against the avalanche of other evidence, most of it secret, including what Mr. Rove said in three appearances before the grand jury. Therein lies the rub, or at least whatever case might be made for perjury. Another bogus subplot, long popular on the left, has it that Patrick Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor, gave Mr. Novak a free pass out of ideological comradeship. But Mr. Fitzgerald, both young (44) and ambitious, has no record of Starr- or Ashcroft-style partisanship (his contempt for the press notwithstanding) or known proclivity for committing career suicide. What's most likely is that Mr. Novak, more of a common coward than the prince of darkness he fashions himself to be, found a way to spill some beans and avoid Judy Miller's fate. That the investigation has dragged on so long anyway is another indication of the expanded reach of the prosecutorial web. Apparently this is finally beginning to dawn on Mr. Bush's fiercest defenders and on Mr. Bush himself. Hence, last week's erection of the stonewall manned by the almost poignantly clownish Mr. McClellan, who abruptly rendered inoperative his previous statements that any suspicions about Mr. Rove are "totally ridiculous." The morning after Mr. McClellan went mano a mano with his tormentors in the White House press room - "We've secretly replaced the White House press corps with actual reporters," observed Jon Stewart - the ardently pro-Bush New York Post ran only five paragraphs of a wire-service story on Page 12. That conspicuous burial of what was front-page news beyond Murdochland speaks loudly about the rising anxiety on the right. Since then, White House surrogates have been desperately babbling talking points attacking Joseph Wilson as a partisan and a liar.These attacks, too, are red herrings. Let me reiterate: This case is not about Joseph Wilson. He is, in Alfred Hitchcock's parlance, a MacGuffin, which, to quote the Oxford English Dictionary, is "a particular event, object, factor, etc., initially presented as being of great significance to the story, but often having little actual importance for the plot as it develops." Mr. Wilson, his mission to Niger to check out Saddam's supposed

Wilson IV's wife,Valerie Plame, was a CIA agent. To try to conceal the fact that thepresident had lied to the American public about Iraq's weapons of massdestruction program, Rove attempted to destroy the credibility of twonational security veterans and send an intimidating message to any othergovernment officials preparing to publicly tell the truth.Rove's lawyer now says that Rove didn't break the law against naming covertagents because he didn't know Plame's name and therefore couldn't haverevealed it. Perhaps he can use such a technicality in court, but in themeantime he should resign immediately -- or be fired by the president -- forleaking classified information, trying to smear Wilson and possiblyendangering Plame's life."The White House promised if anyone was involved in the Valerie Plameaffair, they would no longer be in this administration," said SenateMinority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "I trust they will follow through on thispledge."The background on this story is crucial. Ambassador Wilson had been honoredas a patriot by President George H.W. Bush for standing up to Saddam Husseinin a face-to-face confrontation in Baghdad on the eve of the Persian GulfWar. But in 2003, Wilson committed an unpardonable crime in the eyes of thesecond Bush White House. He exposed its lies about Iraq's weapons of massdestruction programs.In 16 now infamous words in Bush's 2003 State of the Union speech, thepresident -- desperate to gain support for an invasion he was dead set oninitiating -- tried to scare Americans into believing Iraq was close tomaking nuclear weapons. "The British government," he told the nation, "haslearned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities ofuranium from Africa." But the key documents that the claim was based onalready had been proved to be fakes.In fact, it was a CIA-organized mission by Wilson to the African country ofNiger (where he had served as ambassador) that determined the reports werefalse. Wilson was therefore shocked to hear the uranium claims in thepresident's speech. When he exposed the chicanery in a New York Timescommentary, Wilson became a prime target for a White House smear job.According to e-mails that Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper sent to hiseditor (which were revealed by Newsweek last weekend), Rove told Cooper thatWilson's devastating expose should be discounted because the Nigerfact-finding trip had been authorized by Wilson's wife, who worked at theCIA.This was three days before Robert Novak, citing two White House sources,outed Plame as a CIA agent in his column and put forward the same notion.It's ironic that the expertise of this couple should be turned against themby a White House that has demonstrated nothing but incompetence in dealingwith the WMD issue. But clearly truth and competence are virtues easily shedby the Bush administration in the pursuit of political advantage, even whenthis partisan game jeopardizes national security.This is the most important issue raised by the Plame scandal. It has beenunfortunately obscured by the secondary debate in the case: whetherreporters should ever reveal their sources. Yet what the emerging Rovescandal demonstrates is the ease with which a wily top White House officialcan subvert the Bill of Rights' protection of the free press to serve thetawdriest of political ends.Robert Scheer is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times.-__ ___ _ ___ __ ___ _ _ _ __ /-_|-0-\-V-/-\|-|-__|-|-|-/-_| \_-\--_/\-/|-\\-|-_||-V-V-\_-\ |__/_|--//-|_|\_|___|\_A_/|__/ SPY NEWS is OSINT newsletter and discussion list associated to Mario's Cyberspace Station - The Global Intelligence News Portal http://mprofaca.cro.net CAUTION! # Since you are receiving and reading documents, news stories,comments and opinions not only from so called (or self-proclaimed) "reliable sources", but also a lot of possible misinformation collectedby Spy News moderator and subscribers and posted to Spy Newsfor OSINT purposes - it should be a serious reason (particularly tojournalists and web publishers) to think twice before using it for theirstory writing, further publishing or forwarding throughout Cyberspace.To unsubscribe:mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]*** FAIR USE NOTICE: This message contains copyrighted material whose use has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

Rich Jr., according to present and formerintelligence center employees.MZM's initial task was to perform a seven-week, $194,000 analysis of"FIRES," a computer program concept to collect blueprints of facilitiesworldwide to create an intelligence database, according to material providedby the Pentagon.Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-Calif.) said Thursday he will not seekreelection. His dealings with MZM Inc. are under investigation. (By LennyIgnelzi -- Associated Press)William Scott Rich III became involved in the FIRES program soon after hewas hired in December 2002, and MZM received multimillion-dollar orders tocontinue work on FIRES and other programs.The senior Rich "was not involved in matters concerning MZM's work at theNGIC except in the normal way of the executive director's responsibility tooversee all the programs run at the facility," according to a statement byDeborah Parker, chief of public affairs for the Army Intelligence andSecurity Command, which oversees the NGIC.When the younger Rich was hired by MZM, "in line with joint ethicsregulations, [Rich senior] was required to inform his superiors and recusehimself from dealing with the [MZM] company," Parker's statement said.Parker did not provide the date Rich recused himself.The elder Rich was not the only NGIC senior manager with a relative at MZM.The wife of Robert Canar, until last month the center's longtime chief ofstaff, was employed as a secretary at MZM.When the senior Rich resigned from the NGIC in September 2003, he joined MZMas a senior executive vice president for intelligence. "The circumstances ofMr. Rich's employment with MZM were thoroughly reviewed by Army officials,"according to Parker, and "no evidence of impropriety was found."The Ethics in Government Act barred Rich, as a senior manager, from havingdealings with the NGIC for one year after his employment by MZM.Over the past three years, Rich was joined at MZM by at least 15 formerintelligence center colleagues -- analysts and administrative personnelhired, in some cases, to work on the same projects they dealt with asgovernment employees, according to present and former NGIC staffers. "Aftercontract awards, many people were hired away from NGIC at a higher salary,only to return to work on the same programs," according to one contractemployee working at the NGIC who spoke on the condition of anonymity inorder to keep his job.The Ethics in Government Act's standards differ for executives, managers andworkers who leave government employment and take up the same work as aprivate contractor. But agency leaders once engaged in awarding contractsare barred from then seeking contracts from the same agency.If a former intelligence center's employee recruited an ex-colleague onbehalf of a private contractor such as MZM, the recruiter's status and rankwould be factors in determining whether an ethics violation had occurred.Neither the senior Rich nor his son have responded to telephone calls ande-mails from The Washington Post. MZM did not respond to repeated requestsfor comment.The NGIC is a critical Army intelligence center with a staff of 900,three-quarters of whom are civilian scientists, engineers and intelligenceanalysts. The other one-quarter are active military.Most NGIC employees work at a relatively new facility near Charlottesville,where they produce the Army's primary intelligence analyses of foreignarmies, their force structures and capabilities. Others conduct scientificand technical studies on foreign weapons and technologies.The NGIC, which is facing an inquiry by the director of nationalintelligence for its prewar mistakes in analyzing Iraq's weapons programs,has been drawn into the federal investigations of MZM, according to Army andJustice Department spokesmen.The NGIC was criticized in March by the Silberman-Robb presidentialcommission for "gross failure" in its analysis of Iraqi arms. The commissionsaid the center was "completely wrong" when it found in September 2002 thatthe aluminum tubes Iraq was purchasing were "highly unlikely" to be used forrocket motor cases.That inaccurate finding bolstered a CIA contention that the tubes were meantfor nuclear centrifuges and were evidence that Iraqi President SaddamHussein was reconstituting a nuclear weapons program.

"UntilU.S. officials leaked the arrest of Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan to reporters,Pakistan had been using him in a sting operation to track down al-Qaedaoperatives around the world," reported CNN at the time. The United Statesapologized for the leaks, which put a premature end to "a big MI5 and policesurveillance operation in Britain."After the bombing attacks on London's transit system last week, theblogosphere bristled with questions about whether there was any connection.Then ABC News reports on Friday that this al Qaeda plot was two years in themaking. Juan Cole at Informed Comment notes:The British had been preparing a set of indictments and pursuing theinvestigation, in part by using Khan. They were forced to move before theywere ready. Some suspects escaped on hearing Naeem Noor Khan's in the media.Of those who were arrested, several had to be released for lack of evidenceagainst them. Muhammad Sadique Khan, one of the July 7 bombers, wasapparently connected to one of the suspects under surveillance in earlyAugust, 2004.Sadique Khan had earlier eluded a large British counter-terrorism sweep,Operation Crevice, says Friday's Scotsman.Cole also flagged a French news account (in English) from statements byNicolas Sarkozy, French interior minister:[A]mongst the five who escaped from the operation was Mohammad [Sadique]Khan, one of the alleged suicide bombers who struck on the LondonUnderground. This Briton of Pakistani descent has been on the list ofScotland Yard's "targets" for the last 15 months, only with a different ageand a different first name - Kayoun instead of Sidique, but "it's the sameman" who gave the police the slip.While the French newspaper Libération notes the denial from British HomeSecretary Charles Clarke, The Scotsman reports "British officials yesterdaypublicly refused to confirm or deny the French report, but privately someadmit that there is evidence that Khan had been in contact with one of themen arrested last year."Not that I want to put on my tinfoil hat (it's so unbecoming), but whyaren't the US media pursuing this: to confirm, refute, or at least askquestions? We already have one case of "senior administrative officials"unmasking an undeniably undercover CIA operations officer, but we don'thave any idea of the extent of the damage to intel operations or to thelives and safety of real people. Well, with the Khan case, we have a bodycount, but not a clear idea of a connection.-__ ___ _ ___ __ ___ _ _ _ __ /-_|-0-\-V-/-\|-|-__|-|-|-/-_| \_-\--_/\-/|-\\-|-_||-V-V-\_-\ |__/_|--//-|_|\_|___|\_A_/|__/ SPY NEWS is OSINT newsletter and discussion list associated to Mario's Cyberspace Station - The Global Intelligence News Portal http://mprofaca.cro.net CAUTION! # Since you are receiving and reading documents, news stories,comments and opinions not only from so called (or self-proclaimed) "reliable sources", but also a lot of possible misinformation collectedby Spy News moderator and subscribers and posted to Spy Newsfor OSINT purposes - it should be a serious reason (particularly tojournalists and web publishers) to think twice before using it for theirstory writing, further publishing or forwarding throughout Cyberspace.To unsubscribe:mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]*** FAIR USE NOTICE: This message contains copyrighted material whose use has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

[cia-drugs] Fwd: Giuliani and WTC#7
Begin forwarded message: Giuliani and WTC#7 Subject: Giuliani and WTC#7 Giuliani and FEMA had a huge terror exercise drill planned in Manhattan for September 12th 2001. According to Giuliani the Pier 92 command was 3 times bigger than his emergency command center in WTC #7, which was demolished by the FDNY on 9/11. Is it a coincidence that a substitute emergency command center was already setup seemingly anticipating that WTC #7 would be destroyed? From the 9/11 Federal Commission hearing transcript http://www.9-11commission.gov/archive/hearing11/index.htm Giuliani on FEMA exercise scheduled for 9/12/01 from 9/11 commission report pg 23 And the reason Pier 92 was selected as the command center was because on the next day, on September 12th, Pier 92 was going to have a drill. It had hundreds of people here, from FEMA, from the federal government, from the state, from the State Emergency Management Office, and they were getting ready for a drill for biochemical attack. So that was going to be the place they were going to have the drill. The equipment was already there so we were able to establish a command center there within three days that was two-and-a-half to three times bigger than the command center that we had lost at 7 World Trade Center. And it was from there that the rest of the search and rescue effort was completed. PG 112 of report testimony of Richard Sheirer, OEM commissioner on Giuliani placing OEM in WTC #7, the place in the US the Feds most expected a terrorist attack: So along those lines, Mr. Sheirer, I've got a question for you, a question for the other two commissioners. I'll be very brief. For you, Commissioner Sheirer, there was a decision made to locate the Office of Emergency Management at the World Trade Center building 7, right in the nest of where the terrorists had struck in 1993. Why put it in one of the most likely places where people are going to come back and hit us again and where it could be knocked out and not help us save lives? That's the first question. 112 MR. SHEIRER: First I just want to make a quick comment. I think I speak for all of us that you're speaking to the choir. We lived through this. We know these families. We lost friends and colleagues. Nobody here feels as strongly about this other than the people behind us who lost their loved ones than we three do. On the issue of the location of the OEM, I was not involved with that decision. MR. ROEMER: Did you agree with it? MR. SHEIRER: You're going to have the opportunity-- MR. ROEMER: Did you agree with it? MR. SHEIRER: You're going to have the opportunity to ask the person who's most responsible for that--questions about it tomorrow. I did not agree with it. I will tell you why I did not agree with it. I did not agree with it for the very reasons that you said. I did not agree with it simply because it was on the 23rd floor of a building. And do I look like a guy that wants to walk up 23 flights? (Laughter.) You know, and tell me that the elevator's going to work. Yeah, Murphy was an optimist. It'll work. It won't work the time I'm walking up 23 flights. OEM should be located in a hardened and secured location. I understand the reasoning for putting it there, to get it there quickly. It was the most technologically advanced center. When I became director, I will tell you there was no better emergency operations center. None. None in the world. The military came there, everybody came there. I have to give Jerry a lot of credit. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

[cia-drugs] SECRET KNOWLEDGE
http://www.defensetech.org/archives/001685.htmlSECRET KNOWLEDGEThe Army has picked Lockheed Martin to manage its massive intranet, called Army Knowledge Online. The service started the thing a few years ago to provide soldiers with an Internet portal that offered e-mail, easy access to records and other information. In recent years, though, it's become somewhat difficult to manage, so the service is switching gears, choosing Lockheed Martin to integrate it all.AKO has a dark side, though. Since 9/11, especially, it's become an easy place for the service to keep information from the prying eyes of reporters and the public. And we're not talking top-secret or even sensitive stuff, either; routine, even mundane info often gets locked away.Take this site, for example. It's the home page for the branch of the Army responsible for buying weapons and other stuff with the billions of taxpayer dollars provided the service each year.Right in the middle of the page you'll see a list of documents that appear about as sensitive as the average dry-cleaning ticket. But most are behind the AKO firewall. And way down on the left, there's something called a "PEO-PM" list -- the names and numbers of the program managers who steer Army weapon systems. That was publicly available for years, but now can't be seen by anyone without a .mil IP address.Also available for years was a monthly Army acquisition newsletter containing routine announcements; that's gone, too. (I read it every month when it was accessible, and I can attest it was the exact opposite of sensitive.)There are countless other examples, including this one, noted by estimable Steve Aftergood. And perhaps the biggest loss to the public were countless documents -- all unclassified -- once available via the Center for Army Lessons Learned.The Army's not alone, of course; the other services and the Pentagon in general are keeping far more information behind electronic firewalls than ever before. And it's not all post-9/11, either; even under Clinton, the Internet was treated by the military as a whole new ballgame, where even unclassified information was suddenly deemed sensitive and pulled from view. The most egregious example is the annual report of the Defense Department's top testers. The director of operational test and evaluation is charged by law with holding the Pentagon's feet to the fire when it comes to testing the military equipment it fields. And the annual report -- which is unclassified and available in hard copy to anyone who asks for it -- is chock-full of information on the status of every major system the military develops, buys and fields. But after 2001, the Pentagon decided it couldn't be put online. (The latest can be found here, with a price tag.)"This kind of secrecy doesn't have anything to do with protecting national security," says Aftergood. "It's all about the military's bureaucratic desire to evade outside scrutiny. So while spending keeps going up, oversight is coming down."-- posted by Dan DupontJuly 15, 2005 12:42 PM | Info WarCommentsThis does seem bad - but is it any worse than normal European (especially British) information availability?Posted by: Tom at July 15, 2005 04:04 PMStill waiting for the DoD sanctioned P2P network to counter those See-What-You-Share type of disclosures. The Air Force is trying the same thing with their portal as well, but after the rank and file see a few those standing around them go down in flames after doing something stupid in one of the "authorized" web based chat rooms... well, let's just say that uptake has slowed down.Posted by: anonymous troll at July 17, 2005 07:12 AM

I must say that I do not see things as you do. Though I am glad to see you say that Jews against Zionism are good people because I know many wonderful "Jewish" people and know all people are related and the shadow govt and Zionists pay for the work of racists, especially on the net. I still think you are too harsh on some people like Alex J. I see things a bit more like David Icke and feel that the sacrifice cult in all religions is the global gulag culprit.
