    The Brazilian electrician shot dead by police on the London Underground last month was being restrained when he was killed by officers from Scotland Yard’s firearms unit, according to documents leaked last night.
    Jean Charles de Menezes, 27, was shot seven times in the head by two plainclothes policemen who had followed him on to the train at Stockwell station in the mistaken belief that he was a potential suicide bomber.

    MARK COLVIN: In Britain a leaked report has cast major new doubts on the credibility of the police in the case of the young Brazilian man who was wrongfully killed on the underground last month.
    The report, obtained by the national commercial TV news service ITN, contradicts the police account of how undercover officers shot and killed, Jean Charles de Menezes.
    It challenges such police claims as that Mr de Menezes ran away and jumped a ticket barrier, and even that he (…)

    Michael P. Wright — Norman, Oklahoma, USA mpwright9@aol.com After his beheading in Iraq during 2004, CNN reported that Nick Berg’s email password had come into the possession of confessed terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui. Both men had spent time in Norman, home of the University of Oklahoma. The strange CNN article is here:
    Relying on Berg’s father, CNN accounted for this event with the story that Berg, while he was an OU student, was taking a bus ride in Norman one day and happened to (…)

    COLORADO SPRINGS — The U.S. military has devised its first-ever war plans for guarding against and responding to terrorist attacks in the United States, envisioning 15 potential crisis scenarios and anticipating several simultaneous strikes around the country, according to officers who drafted the plans.
    The classified plans, developed here at Northern Command headquarters, outline a variety of possible roles for quick-reaction forces estimated at as many as 3,000 (…)

    Why not Cindy Sheehan? The CIA thinks they can rendition anyone, anywhere. A CIA agent, under arrest warrant in Europe, is on the lam. We reveal where he probably is for the first time, plus many other new details. Call this story the "Theory of Everything" about the the War on Terrorism and the Iran-Contra affair if you like, but it is basically a crime story. When arrested, Robert Seldon Lady could lay bare the Niger-nukes forgery thousands of American troops have died over. He is (…)

  • Lies, Omissions, and Cover-ups in the 9/11 Commission Report

    [Links to documents substantiating this report are at the bottom]
    In August 2005, U.S. Congressman Curt Weldon disclosed that the 9/11 Commission did not report another lapse of intelligence in the period before the attack. Information about Mohammed Atta’s involvement with Al Qaeda, known at least a year before 9/11, had been concealed from the FBI. The 9/11 Commission failed in many ways.
    In September 2003, I emailed the (…)

    Racism is the terrorists’ greatest recruitment tool
    by Naomi Klein
    Hussein Osman, one of the men alleged to have participated in London’s failed bombings on July 21, recently told Italian investigators that they prepared for the attacks by watching "films on the war in Iraq", La Repubblica reported. "Especially those where women and children were being killed and exterminated by British and American soldiers ... of widows, mothers and daughters that cry."

    In January of this year, Rep. Curt Weldon made a speech to the House of Representatives - a speech which no one took notice of, and which hardly anyone heard, except maybe inveterate C-SPAN watchers - in which he made a number of extraordinary assertions:
    "Mr. Speaker, I rise because information has come to my attention over the past several months that is very disturbing. I have learned that, in fact, one of our Federal agencies had, in fact, identified the major New (…)

    ITALY IS another country, they do things differently there, to paraphrase L. P. Hartley. So you hope that a fortnight in the sun on the Riviera dei Fiori in Liguria will also mean a holiday from the stifling climate of “Don’t eat/drink/do that” back home. Even here, however, the dead hand of the EU-wide health and safety regime now seems to have la dolce vita within its grasp.
    For example, the Vietato Fumare signs are spreading everywhere, since smoking in public places was (…)

    By Joseph Kay and Barry Grey
    The revelation that a military intelligence unit had identified four September 11 hijackers as Al Qaeda operatives working in the US a year before the 9/11 attacks has sparked a flurry of disclaimers and denials from official sources, while most media outlets have ignored the story altogether.
    The fact that the government had long been tracking some of the hijackers, including the putative leader, Mohammad Atta, was revealed in a front page article in the New (…)
