  3. The latest message from Al Qaeda appears to be a hoax. Such, at least, is the provisional judgment of Juan Cole, who is not known for conclusion-hopping. The most obvious giveaway: The letter uses the term "Imam" in a robustly Shiite fashion, even thought he purported author is a hard-core Sunni. 16.Oct.2005 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/

  4. As for the letter: If this one's fake, what conclusions should we reach about the authenticity of any given terrorist communication?16.Oct.2005 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/

  5. So far, Cole's skepticism has not been echoed by the mainstream media, with the partial exception of this Financial Times piece:Stephen Ulph, an analyst at the US-based Jamestown Foundation, said the letter presented a number of problems. There had been no clarification as to how it was intercepted and no independent corroboration of its authenticity. He also found it remarkable .."

  6. The Able Danger connection And what about Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, the man who revealed the DIA data mining operation which fingered Mohamed Atta well before 9/11 (and at a time when the FBI says Atta wasn't even in the country)? First, Cheney's office squelched Shaffer's testimony. Then Shaffer himself was punished and smeared. The charges refer to such ghastly crimes as "improperly flashing military identification while drunk and stealing pens." This, at a time when billions go missing in Iraq and nobody receives so much as a wrist-slap. Anyone with any sense knows that Shaffer wouldn't face such charges if he had not stepped on important toes. 15.Oct.2005 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/

    ".. companies, bribes and assassination. To these people, lying is a sacrament and false documents are scripture. They will conduct covert operations that most "legitimate" intelligence agencies would reject as too risky. Boldness has brought them power: Power to unseat or elect a president, power over the mass media, power to initiate war and to profit thereby. 15.Oct.2005 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/

  8. Many will wonder how anyone could use one hand to greet the Israelis while using the other to high-five fascists. I can't reconcile the dichotomy; I can only read and relate the history.

  9. Trento calls "the rogue CIA" -- an amorphous group whose members have come to despise the legitimate CIA. In brief: In the space between WWII and his appointment to head the CIA, Allen Dulles pioneered the use of private intelligence networks. The Agency came to rely on various "cooperative" businessmen, who received infusions of capital and other aid in exchange .."
    ".. Anti-Carter forces within the Agency and the Pentagon relied on this secret network, which in turn formed alliances with shadowy figures throughout the globe. Many operative within this loose network weren't spooks -- not officially. But they were + are, "spooked up" in their associations and personal histories. Perhaps the best descriptor is intriguer . 15.Oct.2005 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/

Further background information may help readers better appreciate Dombey's valuable essay. 15.Oct.2005 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/

  11. The Downing Street Memo, leaked to the press last May, proved that Bush's stated reasons for war were actually pretexts. The author of the memo -- which should have caused Bush much more trouble than it actually did -- was one Matthew John Rycroft, heretofore identifed as a "foreign policy aide" to Blair.Not quite. He's actually an MI6 agent. (Go here and scroll down.) Apparently, Rycroft -- Matthew Rycroft -- has been stationed in Geneva, Paris, Washington and Sarajevo. 15.Oct.2005 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/

  12. Let's not make too much of the recent poll. The question was asked with a qualifier: If Bush lied to start a war, then should he be impeached? If the question were asked sans the "if...then" formulation, the number saying "aye" would probably be substantially lower. You know and I know that Bush did (and does) lie. But for many, rationalization springs eternal. 15.Oct.2005 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/

  13. Where Gannon and Rove intersect Some of the best writing on Jeff Gannon's possible role in Plame-gate can be found in the resurrected Is Bush Wired? blog (not to be confused with BushWired, which I mentioned yesterday.

  14. Now we learn more from Rycroft. A new book called Lawless World elides over his spooky history, instead referring to him as Tony Blair's personal aide. Thanks to Rycroft, we now have "fly on the wall" access to notes detailing phone conversations between Blair and Bush. The results should, if given proper publicity, prove even more humiliating to Dubya. Rycroft would not .."
