(OP) User ID: 131547 United States 02/02/2007 08:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mr. Gaubatz, an earnest, Arabic-speaking investigator who spent the first months of the war as an Air Force civilian in southern Iraq, has said he has identified four sites where residents said chemical weapons were buried in concrete bunkers. The sites were never searched, he said, and he is not going to let anyone forget it. "I just don't want the weapons to fall into the wrong hands," Mr. Gaubatz, of Denton, Tex., said. For the last year, he has given his account on talk radio programs, in Congressional offices and on his Web site, which he introduced last month with, "A lone American battles politicians to locate W.M.D." Some politicians are outspoken allies in Mr. Gaubatz's cause. He is just one of a vocal and disparate collection of Americans, mostly on the political right, whose search for Saddam Hussein's unconventional weapons continues. More than a year after the White House, at considerable political cost, accepted the intelligence agencies' verdict that Mr. Hussein destroyed his stockpiles in the 1990's, these Americans have an unshakable faith that the weapons continue to exist. The proponents include some members of Congress. Two Republicans, Representative Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania held a news conference on Wednesday to announce that, as Mr. Santorum put it, "We have found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq." American intelligence officials hastily scheduled a background briefing for the news media on Thursday to clarify that. Hoekstra and Mr. Santorum were referring to an Army report that described roughly 500 munitions containing "degraded" mustard or sarin gas, all manufactured before the 1991 gulf war and found scattered through Iraq since 2003. Such shells had previously been reported and do not change the government conclusion, the officials said. Such official statements are unlikely to settle the question for the believers, some of whom have impressive credentials. They include a retired Air Force lieutenant general, Thomas G. McInerney, a commentator on the Fox News Channel who has broadcast that weapons are in three places in Syria and one in Lebanon, moved there with Russian help on the eve of the war. "I firmly believe that, and everything I learn makes my belief firmer," said Mr. McInerney, who retired in 1994. "I'm amazed that the mainstream media hasn't picked this up." Also among the weapons hunters is Duane R. Clarridge, a long-retired officer of the Central Intelligence Agency who said he thought that the weapons had been moved to Sudan by ship. "And we think we know which ship," Mr. Clarridge said in a recent interview. The weapons hunters hold fast to the administration's original justification for the war, as expressed by the president three days before the bombing began in 2003. There was "no doubt," Mr. Bush said in an address to the nation, "that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised." The weapons hunters were encouraged in February when tapes of Mr. Hussein's talking with top aides about his arsenal were released at the Intelligence Summit, a private gathering in northern Virginia of 600 former spies, former military officers and hobbyists. "We reopened the W.M.D. question in a big way," said John Loftus, organizer of the conference. In March, under Congressional pressure, National Intelligence Director John D. Negroponte began posting on the Web thousands of captured Iraqi documents. Some intelligence officials opposed the move, fearing a free-for-all of amateur speculation and intrigue. But the weapons hunters were heartened and began combing the documents for clues. Mr. Gaubatz, 47, now chief investigator for the Dallas County medical examiner, said he knew some people might call him a kook. "I don't care about being embarrassed," he said, spreading snapshots, maps and notebooks documenting his findings across the dining room table in an interview at his house. "I only brought this up when the White House said the hunt for W.M.D. was over." Last week, Mr. Gaubatz achieved a victory. He presented his case to officers from the Defense Intelligence Agency in Dallas. The meeting was scheduled after the intervention of Mr. Hoekstra and Representative Curt Weldon of Pennsylvania, second-ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee. Mr. Weldon spoke with Mr. Gaubatz last month in a lengthy conference call. Mr. Hoekstra "has said on many occasions that we need to know what happened to Saddam's W.M.D.," his spokesman, Jakittens, said. Mr. Hoekstra "is determined to make sure that we get the postwar intelligence right," Mr. Ware added. In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird.

(OP) User ID: 131547 United States 02/02/2007 08:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From Dec 2006 RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (CNN) -- Saudi security officials said Saturday they foiled a planned terrorist suicide attack and arrested 139 suspected Islamist militants who were in "sleeper cells" believed to be affiliated with al Qaeda. A senior official in the Saudi Interior Ministry told CNN that the suspects, who are from several Arab nations, were monitored by Saudi security agents for several months. They rounded the men up just before the expected attack was launched. The suspects, arrested in different areas of Saudi Arabia, were being interrogated Saturday, the official said. In October 2005, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia called the threat of al Qaeda in his country "madness and evil" and vowed to "eliminate this scourge" of terrorism. Fifteen of the 19 al Qaeda terrorists participating in the September 11, 2001, attacks were Saudis. There has been a series of deadly bombings in Saudi Arabia since then, including Western targets, further aligning the Saudi government with the United States in the war against terror. In 2003, suicide bombings at residential compounds housing Westerners in Riyadh killed 23 people, and a car bombing in a mostly Arab neighborhood near Riyadh's diplomatic quarter killed at least 17. Both attacks were blamed on al Qaeda. In December 2004 a Saudi-based al Qaeda group claimed responsibility for an armed raid on the U.S. consulate in Jeddah that left nine people dead.

(OP) User ID: 131547 United States 02/02/2007 08:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | UK: Muslims respond to jihad terror arrests with paranoia, talk of plots against them Instead of cheering for the arrests of jihad terror plotters. "Plots and paranoia are mainstream views for Muslims of Sparkbrook," by Andrew Norfolk in the TimesOnline, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm: To wander the streets of Sparkbrook yesterday, from shabby corner shop to proud, white-domed mosque, was to enter a world where conspiracy theories are the breath of life. Many ordinary Muslims did not believe that Wednesday’s arrests were an act to foil a terrorist plot aiming to visit unspeakable barbarity on a young British soldier. Rather the entire operation was a giant con trick. This fits a growing perception of a post-9/11 world in which innocent Muslims are demonised, and the terror threat manufactured to suit the dark designs of the West’s Judaeo-Christian elite. The decision to distribute 5,000 multilingual leaflets, carefully setting out details of the anti-terrorist operation and the events leading up to it, may have sought to offer a well intentioned reassurance “that the police are not targeting communities or faiths, but suspected criminals”. To many Muslims that message has fallen on deaf ears. That many seem not to believe police reassurances is at least in part because they are listening to a very different message from mosques across the city. Take the Birmingham Central Mosque, where up to 4,000 people will be attending Friday prayers today. Its chairman for the past 32 years has been Mohammed Naseem, a past champion of interfaith dialogue who was for many years regarded as a voice of Islamic moderation. A year ago, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Birmingham. Dr Nasseem, 83, yesterday told The Times of his certainty that the nine arrested men were innocent of any crime and would eventually be released without charge. He spoke of his conviction that the Government was “pursuing a policy of maintaining a perception of a [terrorist] threat to justify the draconian anti-terror laws they have been passing”. He went on to compare Tony Blair’s Britain to Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union under Stalin. People were beginning to realise, he said, that the Government had embarked on “a campaign to strike terror in the hearts of the Muslim people”. And Dr Naseem is said to be a voice of the mainstream. Indeed, he explicitly condemns terrorism and “the killing of innocent people”. He was keen to appeal for calm yesterday and to urge Muslims “not to lose their dignity by taking the law into their own hands”.

(OP) User ID: 131547 United States 02/02/2007 08:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | UK: Muslim soldiers acted as "bait" for jihadists Now here are some courageous anti-jihadist Muslims, who didn't just mouth empty words, as so many self-proclaimed moderates do, but went out on a limb and showed where they stood by their actions. I salute them. "Police praise Muslim soldiers who acted as 'bait' for beheading gang," by Matthew Hickley, Ben Taylor and David Williams in the Daily Mail, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist: Two British Muslim soldiers targeted by the alleged beheading gang were used in an extraordinary "sting" operation to snare their assassins, it has emerged. The courageous pair agreed to act like "tethered goats" in an attempt to catch the extremists plotting to kidnap them. The soldiers - who are not thought to have told their families that they were potential targets - were placed under unprecedented surveillance for weeks as officers waited for the terrorists to strike. And as they tried to carry out their ordinary duties, the pair were aware that if the gang attempted to stage their abduction they could be attacked and bundled into a waiting vehicle at any time. To prevent this, the security forces mounted a sophisticated surveillance operation. In an operation reminiscent of a spy drama, their every move was monitored by a team of crack MI5 agents - linked to the soldiers by the latest in modern technology. Details of the astonishing operation emerged last night as police were granted permission to carry on questioning nine men arrested on Wednesday in raids across Birmingham. The suspects are alleged to have plotted an Iraq style kidnapping of a Muslim serviceman who has recently returned from Iraq or Afghanistan. The idea was to kill him and post images of his bloody end on the Internet after forcing him to beg for his life and denounce Tony Blair. Yesterday senior military sources told how they had been alerted to the possible abduction by police several weeks ago after the list of potential victims was narrowed down to just two. But instead of taking the possible targets into protective custody, the men agreed to act as bait to try to smoke out their would-be attackers. Their actions drew strong praise from senior security sources who said the soldiers showed "serious nerve" in the way they cooperated. In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird.

Look at what they were convicted for, and think about the acquittals. By Mike Robinson for Associated Press, with thanks to Drew: CHICAGO - Two men accused of furnishing money and fresh recruits to the militant Palestinian group Hamas were acquitted Thursday of racketeering but convicted on lesser charges. The two men beamed broadly at the split verdict and defense attorneys immediately declared victory in the three-month trial that the government had described as a major component in its war on terrorism. "We are not terrorists," former grocer Muhammad Salah told reporters as he left the courthouse with his 8-year-old son, Ibrahim, on his shoulders. "I feel good," he said as he was hugged by relatives and well wishers. "I thank God and I hope justice will prevail." "This is a great day for justice," said Salah's attorney, Michael E. Deutsch. Salah, 53, and Abdelhaleem Ashqar, 48, a one-time assistant business professor at Howard University in Washington, had been accused of laundering money for Hamas terrorists fighting to topple the Israeli government. Defense attorneys portrayed the men as freedom fighters, comparing them to Nelson Mandela, Malcolm X and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Salah and Ashqar, who lives in Springfield, Va., have always denied being members of Hamas. But they have made no secret of their dislike of the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. Salah was convicted of obstruction of justice for providing false answers to questions in a civil suit filed by parents of an American teenager who was shot and killed by Hamas terrorists at an Israeli bus stop. Ashqar was convicted of obstruction of justice and criminal contempt for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury after receiving immunity from prosecution for anything that he might have revealed.

Ever since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the media has sought to reassure us that only a tiny minority of Muslims actually support the use of violence against Israel and the West. It's just a small fringe, a marginal few at best, they tell us, so don't worry about it all too much. One percent or three percent - who cares? Just sit back, enjoy your morning eggs and coffee and have a nice day. But a look at the numbers tells a very different story. The extent of support for global jihad is frightening in its proportions, and the numbers are anything but insignificant.

Indeed, in various countries around the world, support for Muslim fundamentalist terror groups appears to be widespread. On the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, a survey conducted by Al-Jazeera asked respondents, "Do you support Osama Bin-Laden?" A whopping 49.9% answered: yes. And the July 2006 global Pew survey found that among Muslims, a quarter of Jordanians, a third of Indonesians, 38% of Pakistanis and 61% of Nigerians all expressed confidence in the mass murderer who founded al-Qaida.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 162124FBI Investigating 8,000 for Terrorism He wouldn't say it directly, but this week FBI Director Robert Mueller in effect told Congress the bureau has 8,000 people under investigation for terrorism. The FBI is reluctant to release an official figure, as many of those under investigation play only minor roles or turn out to be innocent. Instead, Mueller did it by inference, comparing America's record with that of Great Britain. In his January 11 testimony to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the FBI chief cited "a recent and rare" disclosure from MI-5 –the British Security Service–that "the United Kingdom is tracking 1,600 individuals who are part of at least 200 networks that are actively plotting terrorist attacks." By comparison, Mueller added, "in general, the number of subjects we are monitoring is proportional to the number of subjects BSS is monitoring–based on gross national population." Well, that's not hard to figure out. America's population of 300 million is five times that of Britain's 60 million. Multiply Britain's 1,600 terrorism suspects by five and you get 8,000. FBI officials confirm that's a ballpark figure, but decline to put the figure on the record. "You can draw your own conclusions," says one veteran agent. One reason for the caution is that FBI officials see few operational cells in America and don't want the public thinking there are 8,000 terrorists running around. In the British disclosure, back in November, MI-5 chief Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller revealed that the Brits are following at least 30 plots, many using British-born operatives and tied to al Qaeda in Pakistan. By contrast, noted Mueller, "We see relatively fewer active plots involving physical attacks within the United States, less defined networks of extremists, and less developed attack planning compared to those described by the BSS director." That's the good news–and helps explain why America hasn't had a major terrorist attack since 9/11. But then what are all those U.S. terrorism suspects up to? Lots of support activity, officials say. One FBI agent ticked off the list: raising money, recruiting, logistics, surveillance, communications. Still, a handful of operational cells are out there, investigators believe, and that's what they lose sleep over. "It's like a hockey game," says a counterterrorism agent. "If you let one goal get scored, you've lost the game." In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird.

The GODDAMN Borders are WIDE OPEN for Hundreds of Thousands of UNKNOWNS to cross since 9/11. Genoicide against Muslims - I'll buy that motive by the Bush Cabal and the Israel Firsters - World Wide Caucasian births are only 7%. Do the MATH. "TEARISM" cells - your Pissing against the Wind.
