If Western intelligence agencies are right - that the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and the two-year-plus military occupation have been recruiting boons for Islamic terrorism - why is it logical to commit American troops to an indefinite deployment there? Won’t that just create more terrorists?
Put differently, has George W. Bush’s Iraq policy done more to help than hurt al-Qaeda, from Bush’s hasty decision to redirect U.S. military assets from Afghanistan to Iraq while Osama bin-Laden was (…)

University of Oklahoma Confirms Assignment of CIA Agent Edger to Campus
26 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
Michael P. Wright — Norman, Oklahoma USA mpwright9@aol.com
In my article summarizing my comprehensive 9/11 investigation, online at BellaCiao, I mention the fact that University of Oklahoma president David Boren, mentor of George Tenet, brought CIA agent David Edger to that campus during the summer of 2001. Edger had been director of both military and civilian intelligence activities in Germany for the US. This gave him responsibility for surveillance over the Hamburg Al Qaeda cell and (…) -
15 Muslims, Cleared of Terrorism Charges, Remain at Guantanamo With Nowhere to Go

1 commentChinese Detainees Are Men Without a Country
By Robin Wright
In late 2003, the Pentagon quietly decided that 15 Chinese Muslims detained at the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, could be released. Five were people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, some of them picked up by Pakistani bounty hunters for U.S. payoffs. The other 10 were deemed low-risk detainees whose enemy was China’s communist government — not the United States, according to senior U.S. officials.

To understand the above mentioned quote in the context of the so-called “war on terror” one must rise above the incessant government/corporate media haze of all-encompassing propaganda that has permeated our society, causing us to become confused energies lost in the consuming darkness of (…) -
Why Pat Robertson isn’t treated as a terrorist
24 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
2 commentsWe really do know why Pat Robertson won’t be treated as a terrorist. It’s for the same reason Bush’s former Attorney General of the United States could tell a group of decent, honest, hard-working American Muslims that they should count themselves lucky they weren’t being treated the way Japanese Americans were during World War II. It’s for the same reason that Bush protects a mass murderer named Luis Posada Carriles from extradition and trial. It’s for the same reason that American troops (…)

Michel Chossudovsky and the Dogs of Reprisal
24 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
As I walked through the living room, on my way outside to play with the incoming coax cables (on occasion I have to do this to get my broadband working), I passed my wife camped out before the television, watching a "debate" between FBI whistleblower Colleen Rowley and a loud, obnoxious, an interruptive Mark Williams who claimed, as I drifted past, that Saddam Hussein had "chemical weapons" (even Williams should know this was an obvious lie) and Rowley is a "traitor" because she opposes the (…)

Why aren’t 350 bombs exploding simultaneously big news?
24 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentBy S. Rowan Wolf, Ph.D.
August 23, 2005 (Uncommon Thought Journal)-On Wednesday August 17, 350 bombs exploded simultaneously across Bangladesh. The U.S. corporate media did a sound bite and the story disappeared. Even most of the international media have given the story short shrift.
I am baffled as one would think that this would be top line news. Setting off 350 explosions in 50 cities across a country at the same time would seem to require a relatively large network of bombers and a (…) -

24 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
2 commentsBy PHILIP SHENON
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 - An active-duty Navy captain has become the second military officer to come forward publicly to say that a secret intelligence program tagged the ringleader of the Sept. 11 attacks as a possible terrorist more than a year before the attacks.
The officer, Scott J. Phillpott, said in a statement on Monday that he could not discuss details of the military program, which was called Able Danger, but confirmed that its analysts had identified the Sept. 11 (…) -
More Evidence of the FBI’s Lie About Nick Berg

2 commentsMichael P. Wright — Norman, Oklahoma, USA mpwright9@aol.com
I have recently reported an enormous lie by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In response to a Freedom of Information Act request, they denied ever having had an "investigatory interest" in Nick Berg. Go here for details and a scan of their letter:
There is more evidence about the agency’s deep interest in Berg. When the laptop computer of Zacarias Moussaoui was searched on 9/11, the FBI recovered the University of (…)
