Bob Fertik develops the thesis that these documents - which no outsider has yet seen - constitute a Rovian trick, developed in time for the State of the Union speech.
After reviewing the three published versions of this story (below), it's perfectly clear there are no credible facts - no independently verified documents, no identified witnesses + no suspects.
The whole story hinges on a single document, which was not seen by any of the reporters and probably does not exist.
Doesn't anyone in the Corporate Media remember the utterly bogus Niger forgery (created by Michael Ledeen + his Italian intelligence cronies) that helped launch the war - + led to the Wilson-Plame scandal that put Scooter Libby on trial?
Even Dan Rather had the journalistic integrity to publish his source documents on the Internet.
Too bad Rather was fed forgeries by Karl Rove via Roger Stone + his wife Nydia, who posed as the mysterious "Lucy Ramirez" who delivered the forgeries to truthteller Bill Burkett.
(Rove's authorship explains why the Bush Administration never prosecuted Burkett or anyone else for forging federal documents, ignoring the urgent pleas of rightwing bloggers.)
Also note the vague references to "suspects" in all the reports.
Were any "suspects" captured or even identified? Of course not - they never existed.
The same thought occurred to Jill at Brilliant at Breakfast: It's just too convenient.
The ONLY times we have terrorist threats or reports of attacks planned are when the Crawford Caligula is on the ropes.
Here we are, a day before he has to deliver the State of the Union Address to a hostile Congress, the bloodbath in Iraq gets worse by the say, surge or no surge + all of a sudden, we not only have what is purported to be a new al-Qaeda video, but suddenly there's a report that Iraqi insurgents had been planning attacks inside the US...

Pentagon bankers may bail out Black
'Ex-Presidents Club' ready to throw lifeline to embattled Telegraph owner Jamie Doward and Jessica Hodgson
23.Nov.2003 The Observer
A powerful banking group with close links to the Pentagon, which has also invested money on behalf of the Bin Laden family, is in talks to bail out beleaguered Daily Telegraph owner Conrad Black.
The revelation suggests that Britain's bestselling broadsheet - coveted by rival newspaper barons because of its political influence - may not go under the hammer after all, as Lord Black tries to quell a shareholder rebellion in the face of allegations that he and several acolytes pocketed millions of dollars that was not theirs to take.
Article continues Daily Express owner Richard Desmond + the Daily Mail & General Trust, which owns the Daily Mail, are keen to buy the Telegraph titles, despite the fact that questions over the concentration of media ownership would be raised.
The Carlyle Group, known as the Ex-Presidents Club because of the number of former world leaders it employs,
is considering taking a stake in Hollinger International, which owns the Telegraph titles, the Jerusalem Post + the Chicago Sun-Times, according to those close to the firm.
'It's unusual for a group of assets to come to the market like this.
We would look to sell off the Jerusalem Post + Hollinger's stake in the New York Sun.
Conrad [Black] would have to step out of management, but that does not mean he would have to let go of his equity stake,' said a Carlyle source.
'Ideally, we would look to take a 25-40 % stake. That would allow us to put people on the board,' the source added.
The move would represent a coup for Black, who is desperate not to sell the Telegraph titles, which have given him considerable influence within British politics + earned him a close friendship with Margaret Thatcher.

In a separate move, it has emerged that Wall Street fund manager Tweedy Browne will take legal action against the Hollinger board if it is not satisfied with the company's actions.
Shareholders are angry that tens of millions of dollars that Black + fellow directors took in 'non-compete' fees did not go to Hollinger.
'I want to know how this board came to pay out a red cent to these people,' said Tweedy Browne analyst Laura Jeresky.

"Wir sind der Überzeugung, daß der Film eines der modernsten und weitreichendsten Mittel zur Beeinflussung der Massen ist, die es überhaupt gibt.
Eine Regierung darf deshalb den Film nicht sich selbst überlassen."
Dabei sei vor allem auf die Wirkung des Unterhaltungsfilms zu setzen. Denn "Nicht das ist die beste Propaganda, bei der die eigentlichen Elemente der Propaganda immer sichtbar zutage treten, sondern das ist die beste Propaganda, die sozusagen unsichtbar wirkt, das ganze öffentliche Leben durchdringt, ohne daß das öffentliche Leben überhaupt von der Initiative der Propaganda irgendeine Kenntnis hat."
Diese Einschätzung der Rolle des Films stammt in dieser Formulierung nicht von führenden Kreisen Hollywoods, auch nicht von Regierungsmitgliedern der USA, sondern von NS-Propagandaminister Joseph Goebbels.

First-hand Accounts of Underground Explosions In The North Tower
28.Nov.2004 This article from Chief Engineer magazine presents eyewitness account of the moments after the first plane crash + describes evidence of large explosions in the lobby, parking garage and subbasement levels of WTC-1 at the time of the crash
It contains some fascinating first-hand accounts of the events of September 11 as recounted by operating engineers on the scene. One of the most remarkable is the story of Mike Pecoraro, who was working in the 6th sub-basement of the North Tower when the first plane hit. Here are some excerpts:
At about 6:45 he went to the mechanical shop in the second subbasement, ate his breakfast and chatted with his co-workers who were also arriving for the normal 8:00 a.m. beginning of their shift. Mike’s assignment that day would be to continue constructing a gantry that would be used to pull the heads from the 2,500 ton chillers, located in the 6th sub- basement level of the tower. 49,000 tons of refrigeration equipment were located in the lower level of the tower. The 2,500 ton units were the smallest in use...
Deep below the tower, Mike Pecoraro was suddenly interrupted in his grinding task by a shake on his shoulder from his co-worker. “Did you see that?” he was asked. Mike told him that he had seen nothing.
“You didn’t see the lights flicker?”, his co-worker asked again. “No,” Mike responded, but he knew immediately that if the lights had flickered, it could spell trouble. A power surge or interruption could play havoc with the building’s equipment. If all the pumps trip out or pulse meters trip, it could make for a very long day bringing the entire center’s equipment back on-line.
Mike told his co-worker to call upstairs to their Assistant Chief Engineer and find out if everything was all right. His co-worker made the call and reported back to Mike that he was told that the Assistant Chief did not know what happened but that the whole building seemed to shake and there was a loud explosion. They had been told to stay where they were and “sit tight” until the Assistant Chief got back to them. By this time, however, the room they were working in began to fill with a white smoke. “We smelled kerosene,” Mike recalled, “I was thinking maybe a car fire was upstairs”, referring to the parking garage located below grade in the tower but above the deep space where they were working.
The two decided to ascend the stairs to the C level, to a small machine shop where Vito Deleo and David Williams were supposed to be working. When the two arrived at the C level, they found the machine shop gone.
“There was nothing there but rubble, “Mike said. “We’re talking about a 50 ton hydraulic press – gone!” The two began yelling for their co-workers, but there was no answer. They saw a perfect line of smoke streaming through the air. “You could stand here,” he said, “and two inches over you couldn’t breathe. We couldn’t see through the smoke so we started screaming.” But there was still no answer.
The two made their way to the parking garage, but found that it, too, was gone. “There were no walls, there was rubble on the floor + you can’t see anything” he said.
They decided to ascend two more levels to the building’s lobby.
As they ascended to the B Level, one floor above, they were astonished to see a steel + concrete fire door that weighed about 300 pounds, wrinkled up “like a piece of aluminum foil” and lying on the floor.
“They got us again,” Mike told his co-worker, referring to the
00.000.1993 terrorist attack at the center.
Having been through that bombing, Mike recalled seeing similar things happen to the building’s structure. He was convinced a bomb had gone off in the building.
Consider the implications of what Mr. Pecoraro describes: At this point the only overt damage to the building was the plane crash some 95 floors above, which could not have caused violent explosions underground.
Since the towers were anchored at the base to the bedrock
the shaking caused by the crash would have been greatest close to the crash site, getting progressively weaker as it approached the rigid attachment at the bottom.
Yet the underground damage he describes can not have been the result of a mere shaking - nothing short of an explosion could reduce the contents of a machine shop to rubble.
Damage to the North Tower Lobby
The damage to the parking garage and lobby simultaneous with the first plane impact are also indicative of the effects of high explosives, with widespread blast damage and fine dust covering the entire scene.
Below is a link to a video clip of the WTC-1 lobby area just after the first plane crash, as seen in the documentary "9/11" made by Jules and Gedeon Naudet:
The narrator claims that he "later learned" that there had been an explosion caused by fuel pouring down an elevator shaft, but the lobby shows none of the soot or fuel residue we would expect from such an explosion. Instead we see blown-out windows and a fine dry dust covering the entire lobby, very much the signature of high explosives.
Similar damage to the parking garages and subbasements can only be explained by pre-placed explosive charges that were detonated at the moment of the plane's impact.
Construction worker Phillip Morelli describes being thrown to the ground by two explosions while in the fourth subbasement of the North Tower.
The first, which threw him to the ground and seemed to coincide with the plane crash, was followed by a larger blast that again threw him to the ground and this time blew out walls.
He then made his way to the South Tower and was in the subbasement there when the second plane hit, again associated with a powerful underground blast.

Consider this, that as you read this, Nasa is 'flying' or remotely controlling the latest little robotic units they sent to Mars,
using radio signals + a very sophisticated and advanced offshoot of the technology that we are now learning about.
So it shouldn't come as a surprise that we are able now, to control in entirety, up to eight aircraft + fly them entirely without the intervention of humans, apart from programming the unit.
That is correct, this FTS unit by Sysplan Corporation, is capable of flying, from start to finish, up to eight individual aircraft, regardless of size, from taxi + takeoff, the entire flight plan, as well as landing;
And this in their own words "is completely transparent to the operators."

23.Jan.2007 Bush said he'll tell Americans in his State of the Union speech that "what happens in Iraq matters to your security here at home."
The Wall Street Journal tops its worldwide newsbox with Bush promoting tax deductions for those who buy health coverage outside of the workplace during his radio address on Saturday.
The plan also calls for workplace health care to be counted as income, which would be taxable.
The Los Angeles Times leads with word that situations in Iraq and Afghanistan have forced the U.S. military to greatly reduce its efforts to detect and stop illegal drug shipments from entering the country.
For example, the Pentagon has decreased the amount of time it spends doing surveillance flights over some key drug routes by more than 62 %. The New York Times leads with an unsurprising look at how intense the campaign for the White House has become even though there's still "a full year before the first vote is cast." Most of this stuff has been reported before: how it's the first time in more than 50 years that there's no presidential or vice president incumbent, the way candidates need more money than ever, how this all makes it harder for an unknown candidate to get any attention, etc. The paper mentions that all the talk of presidential campaigns so early in the game will make it more difficult for Democratic leaders to highlight their successes in Congress.

If ham is a gel, so am I. I suggested that they biopsy it for hidden box-cutters. I offered to divide it into 21 three-ounce chunks, each appropriately stowed in a Ziploc baggie. But no deal.
So I broke down and told them I was flying into what I had been warned would be a food-free zone:

23.Jan.2007 McCain Blasts Cheney Over Iraq Failures, Continues To Distance Himself From Escalation Plan - Think Progress -
The new Capitol Hill newspaper, The Politico, launches tomorrow. In its lead story — an exclusive interview with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) — the senator lashes out against Vice President Dick Cheney.
Roger Simon writes:
With his presidential hopes tied to an administration whose Iraq policy he supports but cannot control, John McCain for the first time blamed Vice President Cheney for what McCain calls the “witch’s brew” of a “terribly mishandled” war in which U.S. forces are on the verge of defeat. […]
Although McCain had once lavished praise on the vice president, he said in an interview in his Senate office: “The president listened too much to the Vice President … Of course, the president bears the ultimate responsibility, but he was very badly served by both the Vice President and, most of all, the Secretary of Defense.”
At a July 15, 2004 appearance in Michigan, McCain called Cheney “one of the most capable, experienced, intelligent and steady vice presidents this country has ever had.”
Also in the interview, McCain continued his back-pedaling from the escalation strategy that he first proposed. After offering a full-throated endorsement of the Bush plan just days ago, McCain opened the door to the redeployment of U.S. forces back to the borders of Iraq should the president’s plan fail. He added, “I don’t know if this is enough troops or not. I can’t guarantee success by doing this.” Digg It!
23.Jan.2007 00.000.2004, General Now Leading Escalation Lauded Progress of Iraqi Security Forces, Predicted Success - Think Progress -
The person in charge of executing Bush’s escalation plan in Iraq is Gen. David H. Petraeus. According to the Christian Science Monitor, Petraeus “agrees with ’surge’ advocates.” And he’s highly regarded by many. But in Iraq, his judgment has proven completely wrong before. Here is what Petraeus had to say about the Iraqi security forces in September 2004:
[T]here are reasons for optimism. Today approximately 164,000 Iraqi police and soldiers (of which about 100,000 are trained and equipped) and an additional 74,000 facility protection forces are performing a wide variety of security missions. Equipment is being delivered. Training is on track and increasing in capacity. Infrastructure is being repaired. Command and control structures and institutions are being reestablished.
Most important, Iraqi security forces are in the fight — so much so that they are suffering substantial casualties as they take on more and more of the burdens to achieve security in their country.
[T]here is no shortage of qualified recruits volunteering to join Iraqi security forces. In the past couple of months, more than 7,500 Iraqi men have signed up for the army and are preparing to report for basic training to fill out the final nine battalions of the Iraqi regular army. Some 3,500 new police recruits just reported for training in various locations.
Of course, the column has the usual caveats: “There will be more tough times, frustration and disappointment along the way.” But the conclusion of the column is clear: “Iraq’s security forces are…developing steadily and they are in the fight…this trend will continue.”
If fact the trend has not continued. Iraqi security forces have been infiltrated by insurgents and many have walked off the job “due to scheduled leave, absence without leave + attrition.” Nealy two-and-a-half years later, U.S. troops are still bearing the responsibility of providing security in Iraq.

23.Jan.2007 Harvard Scientists Say White House Distorted Their Research On Stem Cells - Amanda -
In Aug. 2005, researchers at Harvard University developed a way to turn “ordinary skin cells into what appear to be embryonic stem cells — without having to use human eggs or make new human embryos in the process.”
This month, the White House Domestic Policy Council (DPC) put out a report citing this research as evidence that embryonic stem cell research is unnecessary.
But according to the authors of the Harvard study, the White House has distorted their research. In a letter to Reps. Diana DeGette (D-CO) and Mike Castle (R-DE), the authors write:
We are surprised to see our work on reprogramming adult stem cells used to support arguments that research involving human embryonic stem cells is unnecessary. On the contrary, we assert that human embryonic stem cells hold great promise to find new treatments and cures for diseases. …
The work that we performed and that was cited in the White House policy report is precisely the type of research that is currently being harmed by the President’s arbitrary limitation on federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research . …
We feel that the President’s restrictive policy has directly impeded research that provides a hope for cures for millions of Americans . …
The White House has clearly gotten it wrong.
The overwhelming consensus in the scientific and medical community is that embryonic stem cell research holds the greatest potential to cure diseases and end the suffering of millions.

23.Jan.2007 Bush’s Millennium program running out of funds. - Amanda -
WSJ: “President Bush’s signature foreign-assistance program is likely to run out of money this year, leaving in the lurch several poor countries that have labored to meet its strict eligibility standards,
according to aid officials.
00.000.2002 Mr. Bush introduced the Millennium Challenge program as a new approach to fix the perceived failures of overseas-development assistance.”
23.Jan.2007 BREAKING: Sen. John Warner To Introduce Resolution Opposing Iraq Escalation - Think Progress -
Sen. John Warner (R-VA) will introduce a resolution today “making clear that he does not support the President on increasing the troop levels in Iraq” and calling escalation “a mistake,” ’s Dana Bash reports. Warner’s resolution will be cosponsored by Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Ben Nelson (D-NE).
Warner, the former Armed Services Committee chairman, is a “very influential voice when it comes to military matters,” Bash reports + until this fall had been “whole-heartedly behind the president and the war.”
His new resolution “certainly…is not going to sit well with the White House.” Watch it:
Warner said last week that Congress must move swiftly to address President Bush’s new strategy. “Each of us are pained by the casualties that we are taking.
We cannot dither around on it.” Warner’s bill is viewed as a less confrontational alternative to the Iraq resolution backed by Sens. Joe Biden (D-DE), Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Carl Levin (D-MI). Digg It! Full transcript:
DANA BASH: Well, today, we are going to hear from a very influential, a senior Republican, making clear that he does not support the president on increasing the troop levels in Iraq.
That Republican is the senior senator from Virginia, the former Armed Services Chairman in the Senate, John Warner.
We are told that he is going to introduce a resolution late this afternoon along with at least one other Republican and a conservative Democrat, making clear that he believes that sending more U.S. troops into what he has called increasing sectarian violence is a mistake.
And that is a message, certainly that is not going to sit well with the White House because John Warner, as I said, is a very influential voice when it comes to military matters, especially the Iraq war.
Until this fall, he had been whole-heartedly behind the president and the war. He’s somebody who has a lot of sway with his colleagues, Republicans and Democrats here on the Hill.
23.Jan.2007 Iraqi assailants dress as American soldiers. - Faiz -
New details have emerged about this weekend’s assault in Karbala that killed five U.S. soldiers. The Iraqi gunmen “were wearing what appeared to be American military uniforms in an effort to impersonate USA soldiers.” This appears to be the first time that attackers have portrayed themselves as Americans, raising concerns about Bush’s plan to embed U.S. troops in Iraqi units.
23.Jan.2007 NIE still MIA. - Nico -
The long-awaited National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq is still not complete, a National Intelligence Council official told senators last week. The official said the intel community has been too busy “dealing with the many demands placed upon it by the Bush Administration to help prepare the new military strategy on Iraq.” Senate hearing attendees “now believe that senior intelligence officials are stalling because an NIE will be bleak enough to present a significant political liability.”

An anonymous reader writes "At a recent talk at the Computer History Museum Robert Kahn, co-inventor of TCP/IP, warned against net neutrality legislation that could hinder experimentation and innovation. Calling 'net neutrality' a slogan, Khan also cautioned against 'dogmatic views of network architecture.' A video of the talk is also available."
22.Jan.2007 Walking Molecule Now Carries Packages - ScuttleMonkey 81 -
Roland Piquepaille writes "Chemists from the University of California at Riverside designed two years ago a molecule which could move straight on a flat surface — a nano-walker if you wish. Now, they've found a way to force this walking molecule to carry packages. The nano-worker can now carry two CO2 molecules. And like yourself when you carry two heavy bags, this nano-worker is slower when it carries other molecules. The researchers think their discovery will lead to reliable ways of carrying molecules, an equivalent of the conveyor belts in today's factories."

22.Jan.2007 Exploding Robots May Scout Hazardous Asteroids - ScuttleMonkey 95 -
An anonymous reader writes to mention NewScientist is reporting that a small force of robots designed to explode could help reveal an asteroid's inner structure. This could in turn allow scientists a better understanding of how to divert a rogue asteroid on a collision course with Earth. From the article: "The main spacecraft would stay a few dozen kilometers away, perhaps nudging the probes towards the asteroid using springs. Once on the surface, the protective spherical shell of each probe would open to allow the probe to scan the surface nearby. To reduce complexity and costs, the probes lack solar panels and run on battery power, limiting their lifetime to a few days. But each probe could still cover a lot of ground in that time, as they could be fitted with small thrusters to let them hop across the surface. Eventually the probes could detonate onboard explosives, sacrificing themselves for science one by one. Probes that had not yet detonated would listen for any seismic waves sent rippling out from the explosion + the main spacecraft could observe the craters left behind. That would tell scientists about the asteroid's strength and internal structure."
22.Jan.2007 Music Companies Mull Ditching DRM - PoliTech (posted by Zonk) 223 -
PoliTech writes to mention an International Herald Tribue article that is reporting the unthinkable: Record companies are considering ditching DRM for their mp3 albums. For the first time, flagging sales of online music tracks are beginning to make the big recording companies consider the wisdom of selling music without 'rights management' technologies attached. The article notes that this is a step the recording industry vowed 'never to take'. From the article: "Most independent record labels already sell tracks digitally compressed in MP3 format, which can be downloaded, e-mailed or copied to computers, cellphones, portable music players and compact discs without limit. Partially, the independents see providing songs in MP3 as a way of generating publicity that could lead to future sales. Should one of the big four take that route, however, it would be a capitulation to the power of the Internet, which has destroyed their monopoly over the worldwide distribution of music in the past decade and allowed file-sharing to take its place."
22.Jan.2007 Scientists Find 'Altruistic' Center of the Brain - Zonk 181 -
davidwr writes "A team of researchers at Duke University published a paper linking the brain's posterior superior temporal cortex to altruistic behavior. The BBC also picked up the story. If confirmed this has applications in neurology, psychology, child-rearing + a host of other domains. From the BBC piece: 'Using brain scans, the US investigators found this region related to a person's real-life unselfish behaviour. The Duke University Medical Center study on 45 volunteers is published in Nature Neuroscience. The participants were asked to disclose how often they engaged in different helping behaviours, such as doing charity work + were also asked to play a computer game designed to measure altruism.'"
22.Jan.2007 British Cops Hack Into Government Computers - Zonk 202 -
CmdrGravy writes "The British Police have hacked into Government computers as part of the on-going 'cash for peerages' investigation. They've uncovered evidence which has, so far, led to one arrest and charge of perverting the course of justice for a leading Labour party figure. This charge carries a potential life sentence. The British police have the power to hack into computer systems as part of an investigation. On previous occasions they have said they did not believe the government was providing them with the information they had been asking for and had warned that they would seek other methods to gather evidence. The police won't say what tools they have used. From the article: 'The investigators did not have to notify No 10 if they were "hacking" into its system. One legal expert said: "In some cases, a senior officer can give permission. In other cases, you might need the authorization of an independent commissioner, who is usually a retired judge appointed by the Home Office."'"

IAEO-Sprecherin Melissa Fleming sagte dazu in Wien, die Organisation verfüge ungeachtet des Einreiseverbots über "eine ausreichende Zahl von Inspekteuren" zur Überprüfung des iranischen Atomprogramms.
Laut dem Überprüfungsabkommen zur Einhaltung des Atomwaffensperrvertrags zwischen Teheran + der IAEO hat der Iran offiziell das Recht, einzelnen IAEO-Inspekteuren die Einreise und damit den Zugang zu seinen Atomanlagen zu verweigern. Allerdings machen Mitgliedstaaten des Atomwaffensperrvertrags gewöhnlich nur sehr selten von diesem Recht Gebrauch.
Mottaki machte deutlich, dass die Entscheidung Teherans eine direkte Folge der vom Uno-Sicherheitsrat beschlossenen Sanktionen gegen den Iran sei.
Unklar ist noch, welcher Nationalität die betroffenen Inspekteure angehören. Der Iran hat grundsätzliche Bedenken gegen Inspekteure aus den USA.

Auszüge aus dem Video zeigte das unabhängige Washingtoner Institut Site ("The Search For International Terrorists Entities"), das sich mit Antiterrorismusforschung befasst, auf seiner Website.
Site gab an, die Botschaft abgefangen zu haben, machte aber keine weiteren Angaben zur Quelle und zur Authentizität des Videos. Die Organisation hatte schon in der Vergangenheit Videos von al-Qaida gezeigt.
An die US-Bürger gewandt sagte Sawahiri, sie sollten "die Fantasien ablehnen, mit denen Bush sie betrüge".
