06.Jul.2004 Saddam Hussein is accused of using chemical weapons against the Curds. Who sold them to him and what type were they?
Did Washington say anything when gas was used to stop the Iranian army breaking through?
Is Depleted Uranium not a form of chemical weapon?
Is the act of dropping cluster bombs into housing estates any better?
Or is Bush [BGW968], President of the United States of America, nothing more than a barefaced liar, as well as a mass murderer + a war criminal?
In which case, why isn't he in the dock alongside his country's former buddy and comrade in arms, Saddam Hussein?
Or is Bush [BGW968] above the law just because he was born in the US of A?

06.Jul.2004 Saddam Hussein is accused of committing acts of mass murder.
Would these mass murders be including the need to put down armed insurrection inside his own country after the USA had interfered + financed + armed the insurgents/terrorists?
And is Bush [BGW968] not responsible, as Commander in Chief of his country's Armed Forces, for the ten thousand civilian deaths during this illegal war, including one thousand children?
Is Bush [BGW968] not responsible for the mutilation of thirty-five thousand people, their legs and arms and faces and futures blown away by his Armed Forces?
Is Bush [BGW968] not responsible for the cluster bombs deployed in civilian areas or the Depleted Uranium munitions which left swathes of Iraqi territory radio-active?

04.Jul.2004 Bush should follow Saddam into the dock - If Saddam Hussein is in court, why isn't Bush [BGW968] ?
Saddam Hussein is accused of a number of crimes committed during his Presidency of Iraq. An analysis of four years of government under the Bush [BGW968] regime reveals some shocking parallels.
Saddam Hussein is supposed to have sent people to their deaths as President of Iraq. Bush [BGW968] sent people to their deaths as Governor of Texas.
Saddam Hussein is accused of being responsible for acts of torture committed during his presidency. However,
Bush [BGW968] was President when the prison at Abu Ghraib in Baghdad was turned into a medieval torture chamber by US military personnel + Bush [BGW968] is today President + the tortures continue at Guantanamo Bay.
Who would ever have thought that a President of the United States of America would have to defend himself against accusations of torture?
And more than accusations, they are fact.

Comment: Don't read this nightmare piece of 'journalism' before you go to bed or you'll have bad dreams.
This criminally bad report links anyone that thinks Bilderberg have power with world-renowned terrorists.
There's also the rudimentary 'Jewish conspiracy' tactic used, a pathetic worn out attempt to brand anyone who thinks 200 world leaders meeting in secret is interesting as a racist.
If Bilderberg has no power, perhaps 'Jonathan Duffy' can explain to me how Bilderberg's own archives discuss the creation of the EU and the single currency years before the EU even existed .
Perhaps Mr. Duffy should talk to his colleagues at the BBC because they reported on it a year ago.

Sen. Edwards is regarded in Democratic circles as a good performer in his battle with Sen. Kerry [KFJ965] for the nomination to be presidential candidate + so is expected to be a finalist when Kerry [KFJ965] chooses a running mate.
Other invitees are Mrs. Bill Gates and likely are regulars Bill Clinton, Henry Kissinger and U.S. Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld.

06.Jul.2004 ? It was at the American Enterprise Institute - a conservative Washington DC thinktank - that the idea took shape that overthrowing Saddam should be a goal. Among those associated with AEI is Richard Perle, a key architect of the president's get-tough-on-Iraq policy + Paul Wolfowitz, now the number-two official at the Pentagon. But none of the thinkers at AEI was in any real way an expert on Iraq. For that they relied on someone you probably have never heard of: a woman named Laurie Mylroie.
Mylroie has credentials as an expert on the Middle East, national security and, above all, Iraq, having held faculty positions at Harvard and the US Naval War College.
00.000.1980 -During the s- she was an apologist for Saddam's regime, but became anti-Saddam around the time of his invasion of Kuwait 00.000.1990 .
In the run-up to that Gulf war, with New York Times reporter Judith Miller, Mylroie wrote Saddam Hussein and the Crisis in the Gulf, a well-reviewed bestseller.
00.000.1993 It was the first bombing of the World Trade Centre that launched Mylroie's quixotic quest to prove that Saddam's regime was the chief source of anti-US terrorism.
She laid out her case in a 2000 book called Study of Revenge: Saddam Hussein's Unfinished War Against America. Perle glowingly blurbed the book as "splendid and wholly convincing". Wolfowitz and his then wife, according to Mylroie, "provided crucial support".
Mylroie believes that Saddam was behind every anti-American terrorist incident of note in the past decade, from the levelling of the federal building in Oklahoma City 00.000.1995-11.Sep.2001 itself.
She is, in short, a cranky conspiracist - but her neoconservative friends believed her theories, bringing her on as a terrorism consultant at the Pentagon.
The extent of Mylroie's influence is shown in the new book Against All Enemies, by the veteran counterterrorism official Richard Clarke, in which he recounts a senior-level meeting on terrorism months before 11.Sep.2001. During that meeting Clarke quotes Wolfowitz as saying: "You give Bin Laden too much credit.
He could not do all these things like the 1993 attack on New York, not without a state sponsor. Just because FBI and CIA have failed to find the linkages does not mean they don't exist." Clarke writes: "I could hardly believe it, but Wolfowitz was spouting the Laurie Mylroie theory that Iraq was behind the 00.000.1993 truck bomb at the World Trade Centre, a theory that had been investigated for years + found to be totally untrue."
Mylroie's influence can also be seen in the Bush cabinet's reaction to the 11.Sep.2001 attacks.
According to Bob Woodward's recent book, Plan of Attack, Wolfowitz told the cabinet immediately after the attacks that there was a 10 to 50% chance that Saddam was implicated.
Around the same time, Bush told his aides: "I believe that Iraq was involved, but I'm not going to strike them now."
The most comprehensive criminal investigation in history - pursuing 500,000 leads and interviewing 175,000 people - has turned up no evidence of Iraqi involvement.

06.Jul.2004 London - "Wir wissen, dass Saddam Hussein Massenvernichtungswaffen besaß, wir wissen aber auch, dass wir sie nicht gefunden haben", sagte Blair vor Abgeordneten in London.
"Ich muss akzeptieren, dass wir sie nicht gefunden haben und dass wir sie möglicherweise nie finden werden."
Er hatte eine skeptische Bevölkerung im vergangenen Jahr vor allem mit der Gefahr durch irakische Massenvernichtungswaffen von der Notwendigkeit eines Krieges überzeugen wollen.

06.Jul.2004 - Längst vor dem Irak-Krieg hatte die CIA von Angehörigen irakischer Wissenschaftler erfahren, dass Bagdad die Entwicklung nichtkonventioneller Waffen aufgegeben hatte.
Der Geheimdienst habe diese Erkenntnis jedoch nicht an US-Präsident Bush [BGW968] weitergeleitet, berichtet die "New York Times", nicht einmal dann, als Bush [BGW968] bereits öffentlich vor der Bedrohung warnte, die von Saddam Hussein ausgehe.
Der Senatsausschuss zur Untersuchung der Geheimdienste soll herausfinden, was die Regierung vor dem Krieg wirklich über den Irak wusste.
Nun förderte er zu Tage, dass die CIA vor dem Krieg eine geheime Aktion laufen hatte, bei der Angehörige irakischer Wissenschaftler über die Waffenprogramme der irakischen Regierung befragt wurden.
Geheimdienstbeamte versuchen mittlerweile, die Vorwürfe herunterzuspielen.
Es sei nur eine Handvoll Verwandter besagter irakischer Wissenschaftler gewesen, die mitgeteilt hätten, dass das irakische Massenvernichtungswaffenprogramm gestoppt worden sei.
Doch die Vorwürfe reichen weiter. CIA-Mitarbeiter hätten die ihnen zugegangenen Informationen verfälscht weitergegeben.
Sie hätten Berichte verfasst, in denen die Tatsachen verdreht worden seien, um die Annahme zu erhärten, dass der Irak Programme zur Herstellung von chemischen, biologischen und nuklearen Waffen betreibe. Der Senatsausschuss fand zum Beispiel heraus, dass ein irakischer Überläufer, der angeblich Nachweise über die Existenz biologischer Waffenprogramme lieferte, das genaue Gegenteil gesagt habe:
dass er von solchen Programmen nichts wusste.
Der Ausschuss wirft erneut ein schlechtes Licht auf die Arbeit der Geheimdienste.
Es stellt sich die Frage, ob die CIA Anwalt bestimmter politischer Interessen war, statt objektiver Beobachter zu sein + Informationsmaterial zu sammeln + wertneutral zu sichten.
Ende der Woche soll ein umfassender Bericht über den bisherigen Fortgang der Untersuchung veröffentlicht werden.
Es wird damit gerechnet, dass der CIA schwere Versäumnisse vorgeworfen werden.
Die Verantwortlichen sollen nicht erkannt haben, dass die zusammengetragenen Informationen keineswegs die Einschätzung rechtfertigte, Saddam verfüge über verbotene Waffen.
Auf der anderen Seite hat der Ausschuss laut "New York Times" bisher keine Beweise dafür gefunden, dass die CIA ihre Berichte unter dem politischen Druck seitens des Weißen Hauses verfälscht habe.

06.Jul.2004 Jetzt sorgt also offenbar eine eigentümliche Koalition aus Moore-Fans und -Feinden dafür, dass "Fahrenheit 9/11" zu einem der populärsten Downloads im Bittorrent-Netz wird.
Moores Äußerungen wurden von MPAA-Chef Jack Valenti heftig kritisiert. Raubkopien und Piraterie kosteten die Industrie Milliarden und damit auch "Tausende von Jobs".
Recht eindeutig stempelte Valenti Moore einmal mehr zum Außenseiter der Branche ab: "Der Sieg über die Piraten hängt in höchstem Maße von der Geschlossenheit und Entschlossenheit der gesamten Branche ab."

Moore macht also gute Miene zum bösen Spiel: "Ich verdiene schon genug. Ich habe diesen Film gemacht, weil ich die Welt verändern will."
Alles andere entspräche auch kaum seiner propagierten Mission: "Je mehr Menschen diesen Film sehen, desto besser. Also bin ich froh darüber, dass das geschieht."

06.Jul.2004 London - "Guantanamo ist eine Anomalie, die zu einem bestimmten Punkt zu Ende gebracht werden muss", sagte Blair heute vor einem Unterhausausschuss.

In allen angegebenen Fällen hätten Gerichtsmediziner den Taser als Todesursache ausgeschlossen, heißt es.
"Weltweit wurde der Taser schon über 50.000 Mal von der Polizei eingesetzt", sagt der Waffenhändler Lipke.

05.Jul.2004 If there is one thing this war has taught us all, it's that we can't believe what we're told. For Donald Rumsfeld these were "breathtaking". For the British Army they were "historic".
For BBC Radio they were "amazing". A wide angle shot in which you can see the whole of Fardus Square (conveniently located just opposite the Palestine Hotel where the international media are based) +
the presence of at most around 200 people – most of them US troops (note the tanks + armored vehicles) + assembled journalists.
The BBC website had the honesty to say that "dozens" of Iraqis were involved, but this grain of truth was swamped by the overwhelming impression of mass joy. The radio and TV were even worse.
The masses are no doubt glad to see the back of Saddam Hussein, but was this a US Army propaganda coup.

05.Jul.2004 After the colonel — who was not named in the report — selected the statue as a "target of opportunity," the psychological team used loudspeakers to encourage Iraqi civilians to assist,
according to an account by a unit member.
But Marines had draped an American flag over the statue's face."God bless them, but we were thinking … that this was just bad news," the member of the psychological unit said.
"We didn't want to look like an occupation force + some of the Iraqis were saying, 'No, we want an Iraqi flag!' "
Someone produced an Iraqi flag + a sergeant in the psychological operations unit quickly replaced the American flag.
Ultimately, a Marine recovery vehicle toppled the statue with a chain, but the effort appeared to be Iraqi-inspired because the psychological team had managed to pack the vehicle with cheering Iraqi children.

03.Jul.2004 Army Stage-Managed Fall of Hussein Statue "Los Angeles Times" -- The Army's internal study of the war in Iraq criticizes some efforts by its own psychological operations units,

05.Jul.2004 Army Stage-Managed Fall of Hussein Statue: It was a Marine colonel — not joyous Iraqi civilians, as was widely assumed from the TV images — who decided to topple the statue, the Army report said.
And it was a quick-thinking Army psychological operations team that made it appear to be a spontaneous Iraqi undertaking.

05.Jul.2004 Mit Baseball, Feuerwerk, Paraden und Hot Dogs begingen die Amerikaner gestern ihren 228. Geburtstag.
Für das Führungsteam unter Bush [BGW968] allerdings gab es am 04.Jul.2004 , dem US-Nationalfeiertag, wenig zu feiern + das nicht nur im meist liberalen Baseball-Land.
Bush [BGW968]s Popularitätsquote, seit dem Folterskandal von Abu Ghureib im Freifall, hat dieser Tage einen neuen, historischen Tiefpunkt erreicht:
Nur noch 42 % der Amerikaner sind mit Bush [BGW968] + seiner Amtsführung zufrieden, 51 % dagegen missbilligen sie.
57 % finden inzwischen, dass das ganze Land "in eine falsche Richtung" schlingere - national wie international.
Das sind Werte, an denen Präsidenten zu Grunde gehen.
Zumindest schaffte kein Amtsinhaber der letzten 25 Jahre, dessen Werte im Frühjahr eines Wahljahres unter die 50-%-Marke rutschten, die Wiederwahl.
Doch natürlich ist in diesem Jahr alles anders. Der Dauerkrieg gegen den Terror hat die verstaubten Polit-Axiome des US-Wahlkampfes verschoben.
Ob zu Gunsten der Republikaner oder der Demokraten, das weiß noch keiner.
"Dies ist eine neue Zeitrechnung für uns", sagt ein demokratischer Wahlstratege. "Die alten Rechnungen gehen so einfach nicht mehr auf."

Erst als Cheneys Konterfei auf der monumentalen Anzeigetafel erschien, zu den Klängen von "God Bless America", bemerkten die restlichen Zuschauer den Gast aus Washington.
Prompt brach das gesamte Stadion in laute Buhrufe und Pfiffe aus - so laut, dass die Yankees das Bild Cheneys schnell wieder ausblendeten.

05.Jul.2004 Rights of Terror Suspects -Where were the champions of due process in 00.Nov.2001 when the president first imposed draconian order? By WILLIAM SAFIRE
HARPERS FERRY, W.Va. - "Misadvised by a frustrated and panic-stricken attorney general, a president of the USA has just assumed what amounts to dictatorial power to jail or execute aliens."
So wrote a purpling libertarian kook on Nov. 15, 2001, the day after President Bush [BGW968] issued an executive order cracking down on suspected terrorist captives.
"At a time when even liberals are debating the ethics of torture of suspects," this soft-on-terror wimp went on, "weighing the distaste for barbarism against the need to save innocent lives - it's time for conservative iconoclasts and card-carrying hard-liners to stand up for American values."
They did not, of course; hard-line commentators dismissed the wimp as a "professional hysteric" akin to "antebellum Southern belles suffering the vapors." Attorney General John Ashcroft said such diatribes "aid terrorists."
At the same time, most liberals - supposed advocates of the rights of the accused - did not want to appear to be insufficiently outraged at terrorists.
Only two months after the shock of 11.Sep.2001 , with polls showing strong public approval of Bush [BGW968]'s harsh measures to protect us, these liberals turned out to be civil liberty's summer soldiers.
No senator from Massachusetts rose promptly to challenge Bush [BGW968]'s draconian order, thereby to etch a profile in courage.

05.Jul.2004 Dabei hätten die Behörden spätestens vor vier Jahren reagieren können.
In einem Bericht des wissenschaftlichen Komitees der EU (SSC), der im 00.Jul.2000 erschien und SPIEGEL ONLINE im Original vorliegt, warnten die Experten schon damals vor weitaus höheren BSE-Zahlen in Frankreich.
Auf Seite fünf des Papiers kommen die Experten zum alarmierenden Schluss, den seitdem erst die Autoren der jetzigen Publikation ernst zu nehmen schienen, nämlich,
dass die Überwachung "kein reales Bild über die Zahl der BSE-Fälle wiedergibt".
URL: https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-307284,00.html
05.Jul.2004 "Wir gehen davon aus, dass 00.000.1980-00.000.2000 insgesamt 301.200 Rinder in Frankreich mit BSE infiziert waren", resümieren Virginie Supervie und Dominique Costagliola.
Die beiden Forscher vom Pariser Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale (Inserm) machen damit einen neuen BSE-Skandal in Frankreich publik. Laut ihrer im Fachblatt "Veterinary Research" veröffentlichten Studie gelangten bis zum Jahr 1996 insgesamt 47.300 infizierte Rinder auf den Tisch der französischen Verbraucher.
Besondere Brisanz erhält das Papier, weil es nach Ansicht der Fachleute Fehler in der Bekämpfung der tödlich verlaufenden und auf den Menschen übertragbaren Tierseuche aufzeigt.
Denn laut Supervie und Costagliola wurde erst die zweite Infektionswelle erfasst; die erste blieb unentdeckt.
Nachdem in den achtziger Jahren die ersten Fälle der gefährlichen Prionenerkrankung in Großbritannien bekannt wurden,
hatte sich die französische Regierung vorwiegend um einen Importstopp infizierter Kühe aus dem Nachbarland bemüht.
Doch die Kontrolle der eigenen Bestände startete erst Jahre später, nachdem 1991 das erste französische Rind BSE-Symptome zeigte.

05.Jul.2004 Die SPD hat sich für die Politik der Agenda 2010 entschieden - und damit eben auch dafür, bestimmte Schichten zurückzulassen und den mildtätigen Ton der Arbeiterwohlfahrt aufzugeben.
Im Moment ist es so, dass die Verlierer dieser Politik entweder in die Apathie zurückgefallen oder zur Union gewechselt sind. Die Union ist heute von München bis Hamburg die Partei der Arbeiterklasse.
Das kann die SPD ja nicht ernsthaft wollen. Sie selbst kann diese verlorenen Schichten aber nicht mehr erreichen.
Insofern ist es schon fast eine ausgeklügelte Strategie, jemanden zu finden, der diese Schichten dem bürgerlichen Lager wieder entwindet und zumindest in ein Verhältnis des Tolerierens hineinbringt.
In der Linkspartei liegt damit die Chance, die Hegemonie des bürgerlichen Lagers zu brechen.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: Die neue Linkspartei würde also nicht die SPD Stimmen kosten, sondern die Union. Und sie könnte resignierte Nichtwähler reaktivieren.
Walter: Ja, genau. Insofern kann ich auch gar nicht verstehen, warum sich die SPD so über die Linkspartei aufregt. Hinzu kommt ja: Die SPD hat sich wirklich tief greifend verändert.

05.Jul.2004 Um die Unabhängigkeit des Navigationssystems zu testen und auszuschließen, dass sich die Tieren an markanten Punkten in der Landschaft,
am Geruch des Nestes oder seinem Aussehen orientieren, haben Markus Knaden und Rüdiger Wehner von der Universität Zürich ihre Testameisen in eine Falle gelockt:
Angezogen von einer künstlichen Futterquelle, mussten die Arbeiterinnen zunächst von ihrem Bau aus 20 Meter genau nach Norden laufen.
Dort wurden sie eingefangen und auf einem leeren Feld wieder ausgesetzt. Sofort machten sich die Tiere, die offenbar Richtung und Entfernung ihres Hinweges exakt gespeichert hatten, auf den Weg nach Süden.
20 Meter später, am Ort des ursprünglichen Nestes, starteten die überraschten Ameisen eine systematische Suche nach ihrem fehlenden Bau.

The flag has become a muzzle, a piece of cloth stuffed into the mouths of those who dare to ask questions.
I think it's time for those of us who love this country — and everything it should stand for — to reclaim our flag from those who would use it to crush rights and freedoms, both here at home + overseas.
We need to redefine what it means to be a proud American.
If you are one of those who love what President Bush [BGW968] has done for this country and believe you must blindly follow the president to deserve to fly the flag,
you should ask yourself some difficult questions about just how proud you are of the America we now inhabit:
Are you proud that one in six children lives in poverty in America?
Are you proud that 40 million adult Americans are functional illiterates?
Are you proud that the bulk of the jobs being created these days are low- and minimum-wage jobs?
Are you proud of asking your fellow Americans to live on $5.15 an hour?
Are you proud that, according to a National Geographic Society survey, 85% of young adult Americans cannot find Iraq on the map (and 11% cannot find the USA!)?
Are you proud that the rest of the world, which poured out its heart to us after Sept. 11, now looks at us with disdain and disgust?
Are you proud that nearly 3 billion people on this planet do not have access to clean drinking water when we have the resources and technology to remedy this immediately?
Are you proud of the fact that our president sent our soldiers off to a war that had nothing to do with the self-defense of this country?

05.Jul.2004 The level at which they denied, misdirected, and outright lied to keep doing what they were doing and to keep from being prosecuted for it seemed to rise in relation to the stakes.
They knew about but failed to prevent the events of 11.Sep.2001.
They’ve invaded a country that was not a threat to our own, based on lies.
When the lie became more apparent, then it was time for the misdirection.
Finally, when the misdirection fails -- deny, deny, deny. Bush [BGW968] + Co. are knee-deep in their own cesspool.
Invasion under false/illegal pretenses, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay -- these are all high crimes and misdemeanors that could (should) land just about the entire Bush [BGW968] Administration in jail.
The denial they use is that they gave no orders to torture prisoners.
Yet another lie, as revealed by the recent assertions from the Justice Department.
And there’s another word we’ve allowed this Administration to bastardize - justice.
Justice would be Republicans seeing the Bush [BGW968] Administration for the criminals that they are.
Justice would be seeing each and every one of them on trial right next to Saddam Hussein.
I can dream. Can’t I? URL: https://www.counterbias.com/067.html Don’t blame God for the mess we’re in.
Contrary to what President Bush [BGW968] says, God did not choose him to be president. The Supreme Court did.
Maybe making a deal with God insuring that the Supreme Court does not make such a catastrophic mistake in the future would be worth bargaining for.
Bush [BGW968]’s claim that God called him to lead America is either a delusion or more propaganda. What better way to sell yourself to the religious Right?
God no more wanted Bush [BGW968] to be president than Bush [BGW968] wants gays to have the right to marry.
God was disenfranchised in Florida, too! Ever since, that decision by the Supremes,
God has been bastardized and blasphemed by the Bush [BGW968] Administration.
Maybe, you should be angry about that. Maybe you should bargain with God to smite them all or turn them into pillars of salt.
Whatever you gotta do.
Maybe if you promise to be more informed about your political choices, God will miraculously ensure that no more unqualified people will run our country.
The fourth stage is depression
Whether it was due to fear of losing prime real estate within the White House press corps, or worse, to profit from war coverage (war sells as much as sex does), the media failed us.
This should have absolutely nothing to do with partisan politics. Whether the media does its job or not is everybody’s business.
This is the first group we all should be angry with. Second is the Bush [BGW968] Administration. Although we usually do, we can’t really get angry at the criminals first, this time.
Get angry at the group that is charged with keeping the criminals in check. In this case, that’s you: CNN, NBC/MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX. Okay, FOX News gets a pass.
They actually did do their job. They know full well they are neither “fair” nor “balanced.” That ‘Fair and Balanced’ farce was taken too seriously by far too many people.
In fact, anytime I happen by FOX News, I take a magnifying glass to the TV screen to look for the disclaimer that says,
“This is really not news. We’re really a Right-wing propaganda network.” I haven’t found it yet, but I know it must be there.
So, conservatives, you have only yourselves to blame.
Like exiting Texas Governor Mark White said after Bill Clements was elected:
“Don’t blame me.” Ditto, conservatives.

After the session in Little Rock, two newly initiated Highway Watch members sat down for the catered barbecue lunch.
The truckers, who haul hazardous material across 48 states, explained how easy it is to spot "Islamics" on the road: just look for their turbans.
Quite a few of them are truck drivers, says William Westfall of Van Buren, Ark. "I'll be honest. They know they're not welcome at truck stops.
There's still a lot of animosity toward Islamics." Eddie Dean of Fort Smith, Ark., also has little doubt about his ability to identify Muslims: "You can tell where they're from. You can hear their accents.
They're not real clean people."
That kind of prejudice is hard to undo, but it's a shame Beatty's slide show did not mention that in the U.S., it's almost always Sikhs who wear turbans, not Muslims.
Last year a Sikh truck driver who was wearing a turban was shot twice while standing near his tractor trailer in Phoenix, Ariz. He survived the attack, which police are investigating as a hate crime.
Highway Watch, which will receive an additional $22 million next year, preserves the part of TIPS concerned with monitoring behavior in public space.
The Department of Homeland Security has also launched Port Watch, River Watch and Transit Watch.
Then there are the familiar Neighborhood Watch groups, many of which have expanded their missions to include homeland security.
In New York City, government outsourcing of surveillance has even trickled down to doormen and building superintendents, thousands of whom are being trained to watch out for strange trucks parked near buildings and tenants who move in without furniture.
So how exactly does one spot a terrorist on the highway?
Members of Highway Watch are given a secret toll-free number to report any suspicious behavior — people taking pictures of bridges, for example, or passengers handling heavy backpacks with unusual care.
"We want to hear from you when something just doesn't look right," Beatty said. "Say you're out at a truck stop and you see someone hanging out near your truck, wearing a jacket. Maybe it's too hot out for a jacket. Go back inside, alert someone and check him out through the window."
Eyes And Ears Of The Nation
Thousands of truckers, bus drivers and rest-stop workers are being enlisted to spot terrorists. Is this comforting news? By AMANDA RIPLEY/LITTLE ROCK
On a blazing hot morning last week, 75 men and women of the highway — bus drivers, truckers and van operators — convened at a nondescript office building in Little Rock, Ark., to be trained as terrorist hunters.
The Department of Homeland Security this year gave $19.3 million to the American Trucking Associations, which is based in Alexandria, Va., to recruit a volunteer "army" called Highway Watch.
So far, 10,000 truckers have signed on to become amateur sleuths.
Over the next year, the goal is to add tollbooth workers, rest-stop employees and construction crews, creating a corps of 400,000 people drawn from every state.
Waiting for the training to begin, Jo Anna Cartwright, who manages the rural public bus system in northern Arkansas, said she had not yet encountered any terrorists in her job, as far as she knew.
"We got a terroristic phone call the other day," she said, "but it turned out it was just the boyfriend of an employee."
Her bus drivers pay special attention to a gentleman from Afghanistan who recently married a regular rider, she said. Cartwright had come to the training to learn what else she could do.
The tutorial was led by Jeffrey Beatty, a security consultant, formerly of the FBI and CIA. He started by showing clips of alQaeda training videos. "They are out there training for operations in the U.S. homeland.
Make no mistake about it," he said, warning that Little Rock cannot afford to be complacent.
"You're getting a presidential library here — for a President who launched cruise missiles against al-Qaeda," Beatty said, referring to Bill Clinton.
There are not enough police and federal agents to protect all of America, but transportation workers could be a "force multiplier," he said.
"We want to turn the hunters into the hunted," he intoned for the first of four times that day.
05.Jul.2004 Av-Gay too will say nothing about what his studies have revealed. "The story seems to be gearing towards the idea that these are not bacteria, but maybe a new living form.
It is a very interesting story, but you won't get the answer now."
Samples from aneurysms caused by a genetic disorder did not do this, nor did the density of the medium change if no filtrate was added. Some of the particles were removed, cleaned of their mineral coating, and then imaged with an electron microscope. This revealed small cell-like structures. This much is just repeating the work of Kajander and Ciftcioglu that has been so widely criticised. But the Mayo team has also come up with further results that are much harder to explain away. When the particles were "grown" in a flask, they absorbed uridine, one of the building blocks of RNA.
05.Jul.2004 The evidence is suggestive," is all Lieske claims. Critics are not convinced. "I just don't think this is real," says Jack Maniloff of the University of Rochester in New York. "It is the cold fusion of microbiology." John Cisar of the National Institutes of Health is equally sceptical. "There are always people who are trying to keep this alive. It's like it is on life-support."
The first claims about nanobacteria came from geologists studying tiny cell-like structures in rock slices. But
00.000.1998 the debate took a different twist when Olavi Kajander + Neva Ciftcioglu of the University of Kuopio in Finland claimed to have found nanobacteria, surrounded by a calcium-rich mineral called apatite, in human kidney stones.
Objections were raised immediately. Many of the supposed nanobacteria were less than 100 nanometres across, smaller than many viruses, which cannot replicate independently.
Maniloff's work suggests that to contain the DNA and proteins needed to function, a cell must be at least 140 nanometres across.
Kajander and Ciftcioglu, however, insisted that they had observed the nanoparticles self-replicating in a culture medium + claimed to have identified a unique DNA sequence.
How could this be explained if the cells were not alive, they asked. URL: https://www.astrobio.net/news/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=983
