Bolton On Bombing Iran

May 14, 2005 Strengthen the NPT – or Else by Gordon Prather One of the more hilarious charges leveled against Bonkers Bolton recently was that he was too preoccupied with winning confirmation as ambassador to the United Nations to prepare the U.S. delegation for the Seventh Review Conference of the Treaty on Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Levelers of this charge assume that Bush and Bolton want to strengthen the NPT. Wrong. There was entirely too much 'strengthening' of the NPT at the Sixth RevCon, five years ago, to suit Bush-Bolton."

CBC News: Al-Qaeda's Canadian recruits 'highly prized': report

I'm hoping that rthis report is based on the actual recruitment of persons, rather than simply saying that Western recruits are more valuable than forign-born terrorist recruits. I have the strong feeling that this is not the case,and that CSIS is simply engaging in more bseless hysteria and lies that it is now clear that George Bush has been engaged in throughout the entire period since the Twin Towers catastrophe. I have a message for CSIS and the Canadian government: Do not install Canadian intelligence services as co-defendents in the future war crime trials that are surely going to find the Bush/neocons in the docket. Whether they face it during our lifetimes is questionable, but that history will judge these times and their deceptions as a criminal pursuit is not in doubt. For the sake of Canada's good name...distance yourself...and us... from the US. Mycos ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Al-Qaeda's Canadian recruits 'highly prized': report Last Updated Sun, 15 May 2005 16:09:01 EDT CBC News OTTAWA - The majority of al-Qaeda recruits in Canada are being trained at home, not abroad, making the terror network a direct threat to Canada, according to a recently declassified intelligence report.

Iraqi War Criminals Continue To Mislead Media

"Gagged, But Not Dead By Sibel Edmonds 05/15/05 'ICH' - - The Appeal Court’s decision on Sibel Edmonds’ Case is out: ‘Case Dismissed;’ no opinion cited; no reason provided. The Court’s decision, issued on Friday, May 6, has generated a string of obituaries; “another major blow, maybe the last one, to Sibel Edmonds, a woman who has faced an unprecedented level of government secrecy, gag orders, and classification.” Well, dear friends and supporters, Sibel Edmonds may be gagged, but she’s not dead. On October 18, 2002; three months after I filed my suit against the Department of Justice for unlawful termination of my employment caused by my reporting criminal activities committed by government officials and employees, John Ashcroft, the then Attorney General, invoked a rarely invoked privilege, the State Secrets Privilege. According to Ashcroft, everything involving my case and my allegations were considered state secrets, and whether or not I was right in my allegations, the United States District Court had to dismiss my entire case without any questions, hearings or oral argument; period. According to Ashcroft, the court had to grant his order and dismiss the entire case with no hearings solely based on the fact that he, Ashcroft, said so. After all, our government knew best. As of that day, my case came to be gagged; but I continued on."

Ridge reveals clashes on alerts

Ridge reveals clashes on alerts By Mimi Hall, USA TODAY WASHINGTON — The Bush administration periodically put the USA on high alert for terrorist attacks even though then-Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge argued there was only flimsy evidence to justify raising the threat level, Ridge now says. Ridge, who resigned Feb. 1, said Tuesday that he often disagreed with administration officials who wanted to elevate the threat level to orange, or 'high' risk of terrorist attack, but was overruled."
