  The CIA leak was more proof that there is another 
  insurgency going on right in the heart of the Beltway by the mainstream 
  intelligence community against the Likudnik cabal that has hijacked American 
  foreign policy. We are now witnessing the post-Plame era of the Iraqi 
  ‘intelligence failure’ saga. 
  The dirty little secret in Washington is that there 
  was never any intelligence failures. Solid findings by the CIA and DIA had 
  been cherry picked by the over-zealous Israel Firsters of the war party. Their 
  attempt to unload the disastrous results of their meddling in intelligence 
  gathering on the CIA is now meeting stiff resistance from the Agency’s rank 
  and file. The leak was an attempt by the CIA to go on record as having fully 
  advised the administration of their assessments. 
  One of the most interesting things about this leak is 
  that it was not made to the usual recipients. The Philadelphia Inquirer was 
  first to report on the CIA findings. This was not a random choice. It 
  indicates that the agency was snubbing the Washington Post and the New York 
  Times. Both papers had been actively involved in the cherry picking operations 
  of the Office of Special Plans (OSP). Judith Miller of the Times and Charles 
  Krauthammer of the Post were for all practical matters OSP operatives who 
  participated in the dumbing down of pre-war intelligence assessments. 
  Moreover, the outing of Plame by Novak was done on the pages of the Washington 
  Post. Last but not least, both papers have used their media muscle to avoid 
  any probe of the Plame affair, the mother of all Watergates.

CIA findings leaked to Bush
by Ahmed Amr
(Monday 17 November 2003) 



"The dirty little secret in Washington is that there was never any 
intelligence failures." 



In an effort to avoid another ‘intelligence failure’, the CIA recently leaked 
an assessment of the Iraqi insurgency to the Philadelphia Inquirer. They also 
leaked the motive behind the leak. Apparently, they had taken note that POTUS, 
the president of the United States, does not watch TV or read newspapers. The 
worldview of POTUS is determined by what he gets second hand from his neocon 
advisers. In an effort to avoid a watering down of CIA findings by these 
Likudnik operatives, the agency was in effect leaking their assessment to Bush. 

This has to be one of the more bizarre developments surrounding the myth of 
‘intelligence failures’. It is a clear sign that the intelligence community 
wants to reach the president over the heads of his closest advisers. The agency 
wanted to avoid the usual ‘filtering’ process by the Office of Special Plans; a 
rogue intelligence operation set up by Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith. One way 
or the other, the mainstream intelligence community wanted to be certain that 
Bush was fully exposed to the reports of the CIA station in Baghdad. 
Next thing you know, Bremer was hastily summoned to the White House for a 
series of meetings with Bush. America’s paramount leader in Baghdad had already 
endorsed the CIA assessment. Bremer’s endorsement was also leaked to the 
Philadelphia Inquirer. 
The essence of the leaked intelligence report was that the situation in Iraq 
was hardly as rosy as the pronouncements from the White House. The insurgency 
was growing and the Iraqi resistance was becoming more popular among the average 
Iraqi citizen. The Iraqi Governing Council had very little public support and 
some of its members were not even bothering to show up for scheduled meetings. 
In all, the picture painted was nothing like Rummy’s finite dead enders who 
would be taken care of in mop up operations. 
As if to endorse the Agency’s findings, even as Bremer was meeting POTUS, the 
Iraqis launched a devastating attack against the Italian troops in Nasseryah, 
deep in the supposedly secure southern zone occupied by the British. 
After a few days of consultation, Bremer was back in Baghdad implementing a 
new policy of handing over sovereignty to Iraqis at an accelerated pace. The 
previously scorned ideas of European allies like France and Germany were now 
official American policy. 
The CIA leak was more proof that there is another insurgency going on right 
in the heart of the Beltway by the mainstream intelligence community against the 
Likudnik cabal that has hijacked American foreign policy. We are now witnessing 
the post-Plame era of the Iraqi ‘intelligence failure’ saga. 
The dirty little secret in Washington is that there was never any

by the over-zealous Israel Firsters of the war party. Their attempt to unload 
the disastrous results of their meddling in intelligence gathering on the CIA is

Subject: BUSH VISIT TO UK

BUSH VISIT TO 
UKbyGordon ThomasPresident Bush’s visit to London – designed 
to launch his election year-long campaign as the conqueror of Saddam – is 
already an unprecedented public relations disaster, uniting all shades of 
British public opinion against the visit.* Royalists are upset that the 
President’s neo-conservative religious advisers have cautioned Bush to minimise 
any photo opportunities with the embattled Prince Charles after the huge 
publicity about his private life in America.“Bush and Charles looking 
buddy-buddy in public won’t play well in the Baptist Southern States where Bush 
needs crucial votes to get re-elected. It would also do him no favours with the 
largely conservative Catholic and Jewish block votes in the United States,” said 
an assistant to one of the President’s key aides, Condoleeza Rice.Born in 
once racially segregated Birmingham, Alabama, Rice is now Bush’s national 
security adviser.For her the “bible is my pillar of my Baptist faith. I pray 
every day to follow the Word of the Lord. And adultery and homosexuality are not 
approved of in the Good Book,” she once said.She attends the President’s 
regular prayer meetings in the White House. Bush has never shaken off his own 
Bible Belt roots.His other key aides, Vice President Dick Cheney and 
Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld are also experts at quoting 
Scripture.Both have also advised him he should avoid any formal meeting with 
Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles.“Given the huge popularity that Princess 
Diana still commands in this country, Camilla is seen as very much the marriage 
breaker,” said the Rice aide.While Buckingham Palace insisted “we never 
comment on either matters of security or the requests of the Queen’s personal 
guests,” informed Royal insiders say that the monarch is “understandably 
furious” at the attitude of the President’s advisers.In his wallet, the 
President carries a biblical passage evangelist Billy Graham gave him after 
9/11. It is the words of the prophet Ezekiel to the Philistines: “And ye shall 
know that I am the Lord when I shall lay my vengeance upon you”.He may well 
feel that he needs the prophet’s protection as he faces the wrath of Britain’s 
anti-war demonstrators.* Taxpayers are outraged that the visit is costing $8 
million – all to be paid out of public funding which is badly needed to 
refurbish the country’s failing Health Service and public transport and road 
system.It is also the most expensive State visit in Britain’s 
history.Over 5,000 London police officers will guard the closed-off centre 
of London that houses some of Britain’s biggest tourist attractions: Buckingham 
Palace, Big Ben, the House of Parliament, Whitehall, Downing Street, the Mall 
and the Cenotaph.Tourist officials estimate that the loss of tourist revenue 
could top several million dollars.* London hospitals and their surgeons and 
medical staff – whose skills are among the best in the world – are astonished 
that Bush is bringing his own operating table and team (based on Air Force One). 
One surgeon is a specialist in gunshot wounds. Another is equipped to deal with 
a biological hazard.* London’s five-star chefs are amazed that the President 
is bringing his own five chefs to cook personally for him. They are bringing 
with them his favourite Texas beef (for hamburgers) and Mexican chilli.As 
well as the massive police presence, there are:* Over 300 MI5/MI6 agents – 
some flown in from Middle East trouble spots specially for the occasion. Their 
task is to try and spot any Al-Qaeda terrorist in the crowds.The fear that 
bin Laden’s group may try to launch an attack was reinforced earlier in the week 
by the arrest of an Al-Qaeda operative in Belfast, Northern Ireland.Police 
say papers in his possession suggest he was involved in a potential terrorist 
attack in London next week.* In another unprecedented move, Israel has 
assigned eight top Mossad agents to reinforce security at specific Jewish 
institutions in London during the Bush visit.But it is the presence of 650 
American secret agents that has infuriated Londoners. The agents have 
demanded:* The names and personal details, including political affiliations, 
of all those who will attend Bush’s planned visit to Parliament.Maverick MP 
George Galloway, recently sacked from the Labour Party for his support for 
Saddam Hussein, has called the demand “disgraceful and an insult to the home of 
all democracy”.* A similar vetting demand has been made to Buckingham Palace 
for the names and background of all guests who will attend the State banquet the 
Queen will host for Bush.US agents have also asked for the names and 
background of all food suppliers for the banquet.The vegetables will come 
from Prince Charles’ Highgrove Gardens. He is expected to attend the 
banquet.As the volume of protest grows

Title: Hold the Neocons Accountable by Paul Craig Roberts
-Caveat Lector-




  
  Neoconservatives have made 
  as big a fool of the American public as they have of President Bush. The US 
  has been tricked into waging a war that already has cost us $200 billion and 
  the sympathy of the world, a war that disrupts the lives of tens of thousands 
  of reserve and national guard families, kills and maims our troops and Iraqi 
  civilians, destroys our alliances and foreign policy, and recruits terrorists 
  for bin Laden. 
  We went to war for false reasons. The costs are 
  enormous. Will the perpetrators be held 
  accountable?

Hold the 
Neocons Accountable
by Paul Craig Robertsby Paul Craig Roberts 




Will neoconservatives be held responsible for orchestrating a 
war in order to pursue their Middle Eastern agenda? Will they get 
away with inflicting death and injury on thousands of Iraqis and 
Americans? 
Powerful people have good reasons to hold the neocons 
accountable. Secretary of State Colin Powell is one. Deceived into 
lying to the United Nations when he presented the case for a 
preemptive US attack on Iraq, Secretary Powell was ruthlessly used 
by neocon administration officials.Colin Powell put his reputation 
on the line when he gave the UN assurances that “every statement I 
make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not 
assertions. What we’re giving you are facts and conclusions based on 
solid intelligence.” 
There was not a word of truth or intelligence in what Powell 
told the UN. Iraq most certainly was NOT developing chemical, 
biological and nuclear weapons of mass destruction. Iraq was NOT 
involved with al Qaida and the September 11 attacks on the US. 
Saddam Hussein had NO weapons of mass destruction to give to 
terrorists. 
President Bush also has good reason to hold the neocons 
responsible. Deceived and trapped in a war of attrition that can 
have no successful outcome, Bush’s credibility is burdened with 
speeches even more egregious than Powell’s UN speech. 
Fed 
disinformation, Bush dutifully regurgitated neocon fabrications that 
Iraq possessed 500 tons of chemical weapons, 25,000 liters of 
anthrax, 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, 30,000 prohibited 
warheads, and uranium from Niger. America had to attack Iraq, Bush 
said, before these fearsome weapons could be used against us. 

Vice 
President Cheney’s fear mongering was more extreme than Bush’s. 
Cheney claimed that Iraq had “reconstituted nuclear weapons.” 
References to “mushroom clouds” over American cities made ears deaf 
to voices of reason. 
Congress has an incentive to hold the neocons accountable. 
Fear created by neocon lies caused Congress to emasculate itself, to 
give up its war powers and to agree to massive sums of money being 
wasted on a pointless war. 
The 
US media has good cause to hold the neocons accountable. Neocons 
manipulated the media and turned reporters, news networks and 
publications into war propagandists. Uncritical acceptance of neocon 
propaganda has made laughingstocks out of “conservative” media, such 
as Fox News, the Weekly Standard, National Review and 
the Wall Street Journal editorial page. 
For 
example, the current issue (Nov. 24) of the Weekly 
Standard 
confidently reports that a “top secret U.S. government 
memorandum” leaked to the magazine proves beyond any doubt that 
“Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein had an operational relationship 
from the early 1990s to 2003 that involved training in explosives 
and weapons of mass destruction, logistical support for terrorist 
attacks, al Qaeda training camps and safe haven in Iraq, and Iraqi 
financial support for al Qaeda – perhaps even for Mohammed Atta.” 

These improbable revelations raised no suspicions at the 
Weekly Standard or Fox News, which fed the story to the 
public without checking it out. 
The 
US 
Department of Defense repudiated the story in a November 15, 2003 
press

How do you tell the difference between Liberals, Conservatives and Southerners?

Pose the following question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, 
a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with 
you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges.

You are carrying a Glock .40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before 
he reaches you and your family.

What do you do?

Liberal Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!  Does the man look poor or 
oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?  Could 
we run away?  What does my wife think?  What about the kids?   Could I possibly swing 
the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?  What does the law say about 
this situation?   Does the Glock have an appropriate safety built into it?

Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to 
society and to my children?  Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?

Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?   If I 
were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?

Should I call 9-1-1?

Why is this street so deserted?  We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and 
make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.

This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and 
try to come to a consensus.

[CTRL] 9-11 NOT POSSIBLE w/o chemtrails

2003-11-17 Thread Eric Stewart
-Caveat Lector-

Since what is in the skies these days manifests entirely different physical
properties they must be different sets of compounds and with this statement
I hope to make clear the line between contrail and chemtrail: contrails,
according to a meteorologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Adminstration (NOAA), are formed at minus seventy-six degrees fahrenheit.
This ought to be a good guage when you are watching a plane spray. If the
plane is not more than five thousand feet off the ground (i.e. you can
still see it) and your ground temperature is above twenty, ANYTHING in the
skies cannot be a contrail. What is this substance with observably
different physical properties than contrails?

If you search the net for these items - SkyNet, Global Hawk, SIGINT,
weather modification, climate engineering, ROTH - you invariably end up
sorting through discussions, some rather obscure yet revealing, involving
electrostatics and barium and whenever the local biggies are out at play
(NOAA, NCAR, LASP) here in the Boulder, CO area, computer connections are
extremely unpredictable, making this a static weapon if generally un-
aimable. Barium has been found in air samples taken in areas that are
heavily sprayed. Barium is said to be light AND extremely conductive.

There is a reason there is an USAF term called artificial ionospheric
mirror.

[CTRL] Why didn't the FBI act on Ptech tips?

FBI REPORTEDLY DIDN'T ACT ON P-TECH TIPS
by Ralph Ranalli, Boston Globe Staff
Dec 8, 2002


   The Boston FBI office received two reports that a Quincy software
company had financial ties to a suspected terrorist financier but acted on
neither, according to law enforcement and government officials and a
televised report.

   A whistle-blower from Ptech, Inc., told the Boston FBI in October
2001 that the company was being financially backed by Yasin al-Qadi, a
Saudi businessman whose US assets were frozen after the Sept. 11 attacks
amid allegations that he has funded terrorist groups, including al-Qaida
and Hamas, a Bush administration official and a former Clinton
administration official involved in the case said yesterday.

   WBZ-TV reported Friday night that a second whistle-blower went to
the Boston FBI office this past June with allegations that the company had
financial ties to the suspected terrorist financier.

   A spokeswoman from the FBI's Boston office denied that it had failed
to follow up on leads about Ptech's financial backing. ''That is not
accurate,'' spokeswoman Gail Marcinkiewicz said. ''This investigation has
been going on for quite some time, and it was jointly decided by the FBI
and Customs that Customs would take the lead.''

   WBZ reported that a former Ptech consultant named Indira Singh came
forward this past June. Singh said Friday night in an interview on WBZ that
she told the FBI ''in no uncertain terms'' about the connection between
Ptech and Qadi. She said that weeks after talking to the Boston FBI, she
was ''shocked'' and ''frustrated'' to learn that the FBI still had not
alerted any of the government agencies using Ptech software that there were
questions about the company's ties to suspected terrorist fund-raisers.

   Ptech has sold information management software to a range of
government agencies, including the Army, Air Force, Congress, the White
House, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the FBI.

   The FBI, the officials said, didn't aggressively pursue the initial
October 2001 tip, prompting that whistle-blower to go to other government
officials this past summer. The US Customs Service ended up leading the
investigation, and the search Thursday night and yesterday of Ptech's
headquarters.

   News that the FBI may have ignored the tips comes after a recent
scathing memo from top FBI officials to the bureau's field offices
complaining that not enough is being done to combat terrorism.

   The New York Times reported last month that Bruce Gebhardt, the
FBI's deputy director, sent a memo to the FBI's 56 field offices, saying he
was ''amazed and astounded'' that field supervisors were not committing
essential resources to fighting terrorism.

   The allegation is the latest in a series of embarrassments for the
Boston FBI office, including a failure to follow up on bank robber Gary
Sampson's offer to surrender before he went on a killing spree, and the
scandal over the agency's coddling of murderous organized crime informants.

   Documents provided to the Boston Globe by The Investigative Project,
a Washington, DC-based terrorism research organization, show that two of
Ptech's founding directors were former employees of BMI, a now-defunct
collection of Islamic finance companies that was targeted in an
investigation by the FBI's Chicago office.

   ''BMI was an Islamic financial institution that would loan money in
an Islamically permissible manner,'' said Matthew Epstein, director of
research for The Investigative Project.' 'According to the FBI, they were
involved in Hamas financing activities and potentially involved in the 1998
US Embassy bombings in Africa,'' he said.

   BMI was targeted by the FBI's Chicago office in a probe of alleged
money laundering and funneling of funds to terrorist groups like Hamas.

   BMI also shared office space in Secaucus, NJ, with Qadi
International, an organization controlled by Qadi.

   According to state records, two of Ptech's founding directors were
former officials with BMI. One of the directors, Soliman Biheiri, was
quoted in Management Review magazine as the ''president of BMI Leasing'' in
an article about financial institutions that adhered to Islamic law.

   Another director, Hussein Ibrahim, is currently listed as Ptech's
vice president and chief scientist. Ibrahim's resume, filed with the US
General Services Administration as part of the company's application to do
business with the US government, lists his prior employment from 1989 to
1995 as a vice president of BMI.

Overthrow Of The American 
Republic - Part 42
The Public Execution Of John F. Kennedy

By Sherman H. Skolnick

SkolnicksReport.com
11-17-3

Circulating for many years in the alternative media underground have been the notes of what some contend were the true perpetrators of the political assassination of John F. Kennedy.   

Some of these reports had titles such as "The Gemstone Files", and "The Torbett Document", and were copied and re-copied, and shared as background by various political assassination researchers. These details were often discussed when such researchers got together at meetings.   

According to some alternative commentators, these notes were to be read and considered in conjunction with the book "Farewell America". Published in Europe about 1968, and circulated in about fourteen languages, the book was not permitted by U.S. postal and customs authorities to be imported into the U.S. to be sold in bookstores. This censorship in the U.S. ended about 2002, when amazon.com began selling a paperback edition of the book now listed on their website. Until 1973, I was only one of two researchers in the U.S. who found a way to get "Farewell America", in English, in hardback, into the U.S. At nationwide college seminars by me, I gave them away to students in return for small donations to support our work.   

Here are matters necessary to understanding the political wipe-out of JFK:   

Starting in 1841 and continuing until the first year of the 20th Century, were the visible results of violent struggles between the Vatican/the Jesuits and the Protestant Church in America as well as the efforts of Great Britain to take-back the American continent, reverting the inhabitants to being mere subjects, not U.S. citizens, of the British Monarchy and returning this land to being puppet colonies of the Crown.   

In furtherance of these ends, five U.S. presidents were assassinated for the benefit of Great Britain and the Vatican/the Jesuits.   

===William Henry Harrison, killed by being poisoned, in 1841, a month after being inaugurated as President. U.S. Senator Thomas Benton in his book stated as to President Harrison, "that the deceased President had been closely preceded and was rapidly followed by the deaths of almost all of his numerous family, sons and daughters." Only one of President Harrison's eight children, a son, was permitted to live. "Thirty Years' View: From 1820-1850" by Thomas Benton.   

===Zachary Taylor, like Harrison, killed by being poisoned 1850, during the slavery controversy, called the Compromise, instigated by Great Britain to divide up and conquer the United States. These efforts by England eventually led to the American Civil War, also called The War Between the States, in which England financed and outfitted with weapons the Jefferson Davis Confederacy, breaking away from the United States of America.   

===Abraham Lincoln,, assassinated, as a symbol, on Good Friday, April, 1865, a few days after the South surrendered. Part of the plot against Lincoln included the guard at the door of Lincoln's box at Ford's Theater. The guard fled to the Vatican and was sheltered as part of the Vatican Guard. The Vatican, through various strategies, including making their presence and power known to a U.S. jury, effectively kept the guard from being convicted and jailed for being part of the plot against Lincoln,upon the guard returning to the U.S.   

===James Abram Garfield, murdered 1881. He was against England interfering with the industrial development and finance of the U.S.   

===William McKinley. Prior to his first term as President, he promoted U.S. industrial and financial interests in opposition to Great Britain by the McKinley Tariff. In his first Presidential term, he promoted U.S. imperialism, in the U.S. war against Spain, in opposition to England. Like Garfield, he was opposed to Great Britain interfering with U.S. industrial and financial development. He was assassinated in 1901, a few months after being inaugurated President for the second time.   

===John F. Kennedy. The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified January 16, 1919 and repealed by the 21st Amendment, December 5, 1933. It prohibited the manufacturing, sale, and importation of intoxicating liquor within the U.S., and exportation of the same from the U.S. The period was called "The Prohibition".   

John F. Kennedy's father, Joseph P. Kennedy, during Prohibition, made the British royalty beholden to him for financial benefits. The Brits controlled the manufacturing and export of booze from England and Scotland. Joe Kennedy arranged to smuggle into the U.S. the British royal products through a transit point, being a small French island in the mouth of the St. Lawrence Seaway.   

Old man Kennedy distributed the spirits in the U.S., in violation of Prohibition, mainly through his financial arrangements with gangsters, 

[CTRL] Despite Lacking Latest Virus, Flu Vaccine Is Thought to Work

  Despite Lacking Latest Virus, Flu Vaccine Is Thought to 
  WorkBy LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN
  


  
  he influenza vaccine now being given was not developed 
  to protect against a strain of the virus that has surfaced in this country 
  this fall, but the government is optimistic that this year's vaccine will 
  stave off outbreaks, a top federal health official said yesterday.
  The reason is that animal studies suggest that the strains of virus 
  included in the vaccine are close enough to the new one that the vaccine 
  will still protect, said the official, Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, the 
  director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
  Still, she warned, the United States could face a severe epidemic this 
  year, given that the flu season began unusually early and has hit Texas 
  and Colorado particularly hard. 
  "It's a little too early to say whether or not this portends the worst 
  flu season we have had in a long time," Dr. Gerberding said in a telephone 
  news conference. Her agency is responsible for tracking and controlling 
  influenza and other infectious diseases.
  She said she was "sounding the alarm" to urge more people to get flu 
  shots to "nip this problem in the bud." The center does not know how many 
  people have received flu shots this season. "People have the impression we 
  are doing better this year than last year, but we do not have the data to 
  back that up at this point in time," she said.
  The flu vaccine includes three strains of influenza virus, but was not 
  designed to protect against a new one that has appeared in a number of 
  countries over the last year. It is known as the Fujian strain, a variant 
  of the Panama strain that is included in the current vaccine. Both are 
  categorized as H3N2 strains that have been linked to higher rates of 
  serious illness requiring admission to a hospital and to death, Dr. 
  Gerberding said.
  Each year, influenza causes 114,000 hospital admissions and 36,000 
  deaths.
  The influenza virus mutates frequently. Health officials change the 
  strains of virus put in the flu vaccine each year as they try to keep up 
  with mutations. But matching strains in the vaccine with those circulating 
  among humans during a flu season is a notoriously unpredictable 
  exercise.
  The World Health Organization committee that makes the recommendations 
  for the flu vaccine knew about the Fujian strain in February, said Dr. 
  Klaus Stöhr, an influenza expert at the organization. But Dr. Stöhr said 
  in a recent interview that the committee decided not to include the Fujian 
  strain because scientists could not make it pure enough in time for a 
  human vaccine.
  The flu vaccine is prepared in eggs. Decisions about the components of 
  the vaccine have to be made months in advance in part because 
  manufacturers and farmers need to know how many eggs to prepare in 
  anticipation of demand.
  Influenza typically occurs during the winter in each hemisphere, and 
  the vaccines are prepared at different times. The vaccine being prepared 
  for use in the Southern Hemisphere will include the Fujian strain, Dr. 
  Stöhr said.
  "There may be less than optimal protection against H3N2" in the 
  Northern Hemisphere, "but no vaccine failure has been reported" there, he 
  said. "So there is no reason to discourage people from getting 
  vaccinated." 
  Dr. Gerberding said it was common for the circulating influenza to 
  gradually change genetically — known as "drift" — as it spread to infect 
  more people.
  Tests at the center found that 84 percent of the 55 strains of 
  influenza virus isolated this fall are the Fujian strain, Dr. Gerberding 
  said. But she emphasized that protection could still occur even without a 
  perfect match.
  Dr. Gerberding said that an earlier than usual onset of the flu had 
  occurred in some European countries but that "this is not a 
  pandemic."

  US agrees to international control of its troops in 
  Iraq
  By Leonard Doyle and Stephen Castle in Brussels
  17 November 2003 
  
  The United States accepts that to avoid humiliating failure in Iraq it 
  needs to bring its forces quickly under international control and speed 
  the handover of power, Javier Solana, the European Union foreign policy 
  chief, has said. Decisions along these lines will be made in the "coming 
  days", Mr Solana told The Independent.
  The comments, signalling a major policy shift by the US, precede 
  President George Bush's state visit this week to London, during which he 
  and Tony Blair will discuss an exit strategy for forces in Iraq.
  Mr Solana underlined the change of mood in Washington, saying: 
  "Everybody has moved, including the United States, because the United 
  States has a real problem and when you have a real problem you need help." 
  There is a "growing consensus" that the transfer of power has to be 
  accelerated, he said. "How fast can it be done? I would say the faster the 
  better."
  He added: "The more the international community is incorporated under 
  the international organisations [the better]. That is the lesson I think 
  everyone is learning. Our American friends are learning that. We will see 
  in the coming days decisions along these lines."
  The Bush administration spelt out over the weekend its new plans for 
  the faster transfer of power from Americans to the Iraqis, with a 
  transitional government now scheduled to take over from the end of June. 
  Before, US officials had said that Iraqi leaders should write a 
  constitution first, then hold elections.
  As the EU's foreign policy representative, Mr Solana has been playing a 
  significant, behind-the-scenes role. Until now, the US had resisted 
  putting the allied forces under international auspices, although there is 
  growing support in Washington for a Nato role.
  Colin Powell, the US Secretary of State, arrives in Brussels tonight 
  for talks with EU ministers, which he will combine with a meeting with the 
  retiring Nato secretary general, Lord Robertson of Port Ellen. Diplomats 
  say that Mr Powell is expected to "test the water" about the involvement 
  of the transatlantic alliance in Iraq. The litany of setbacks, growing US 
  casualties and the recent killing of 18 Italian servicemen has brought 
  intense domestic and international pressure on the Bush administration to 
  give the occupying force more legitimacy.
  Eager to counter this domestic unease, the American military sought to 
  advertise their latest crack-down. They declared that they had fired a 
  satellite-guided missile at what they said was an insurgents' training 
  camp west of Kirkuk.
  But there was more grim news on Saturday with the collision of two 
  Black Hawk helicopters after one was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. 
  Seventeen American soldiers died, the worst single loss of life in one 
  incident since President Bush ordered the US-led invasion.
  He insisted yesterday that the US would not "cut and run". In an 
  interview with Breakfast with Frost on BBC1, the President said the 
  United States would not spend "years and years" in Iraq. But he rejected 
  as "not a fair comment" claims that the US was unprepared for winning 
  peace. Mounting violence in Iraq was "nothing more than a power grab". He 
  added: "There are some foreign fighters, mujahedin types or al-Qa'ida, or 
  al-Qa'ida affiliates involved, as well."
  America's chief post-war administrator in Iraq, Paul Bremer, also 
  suggested that US-led forces would remain on a different basis. "Our 
  presence here will change from an occupation to an invited presence," he 
  said. "I'm sure the Iraqi government is going to want to have coalition 
  forces here for its own security for some time.
  There have been no specifics yet about how the international community 
  would control the mainly American and British forces in Iraq. Nato remains 
  the only strong possibility because it would provide international 
  credibility while leaving control with a military organisation which 
  Washington dominates.
  Nato has already proved its willingness to act outside its traditional 
  sphere of operations by taking a role in Afghanistan. But to allow it to 
  deploy in Iraq would mean getting the approval of all 19 Nato allies 
  including France, Germany and Belgium, all staunch opponents of the 
  war.
  They would need to be satisfiedthat the UN had been given a sufficient 
  role in the
