    Important new details of the U.S.-Israeli espionage case involving Larry Franklin, the alleged Pentagon spy, two officials of the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, and an intelligence official at the Embassy of Israel emerged last week. Two AIPAC officials-who have left the organization-were indicted along with Franklin on charges of "communicat[ing] national defense information to persons not entitled to receive it." In plain English, if not legal-speak, that (…)

    CoastalPost Article — July 2005
    My July 2005 Coastal Post article covers the recent June 2005 casualties in Iraq, the exchange between Rumsfeld and Kennedy of June 23rd, and evidence pointing to strange events surrounding the Wellstone plane crash of Oct 2003. Researching this article was a heartbreak and a half. To arrive at this simple listing of sixty-one names, I visited a most excellent website compiled by CNN (of all the media!) This site listed not only American dead, (…)

  • The Jews of Iraq - "Jews killed Jews"
    9 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    "I write this article for the same reason I wrote my book: to tell the American people, and especially American Jews, that Jews from Islamic lands did not emigrate willingly to Israel; that, to force them to leave, Jews killed Jews; and that, to buy time to confiscate ever more Arab lands, Jews on numerous occasions rejected genuine peace initiatives from their Arab neighbors. I write about what the first prime minister of Israel called "cruel Zionism." I write about it because I was part of (…)

    Can you spot the real threat to national security?
    Let’s see... there’s this guy.
    Turns out Bush could have nailed him years ago.
    According to the CIA field commander at Tora Bora, U.S. intelligence absolutely knew that Osama Bin Laden was not only present, but virtually trapped
    All the CIA and Special Forces guys needed was additional conventional support to cut off his escape, and Bin Laden would have been arrested.
    This was in December of 2001.
    But Bush and Rumsfeld never sent (…)

  • Why the AIPAC Indictment Is Bad News for Karl Rove
    9 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Last week, the Justice Department issued a new indictment of Lawrence Franklin, the Pentagon official accused of passing secrets to officials of AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobbying outfit. The indictment is bad news for the Bush White House and Karl Rove.
    That’s not only because the Franklin case is embarrassing for the administration, the Pentagon, and their neocon allies. (Franklin worked with Douglas Feith, who until recently was a senior Pentagon official close to the neocons.) The Franklin (…)

    WASHINGTON — Lawyers for a Guantanamo detainee asked the Supreme Court on Monday to consider blocking military tribunals for terror suspects, and overturn what they called an extreme ruling by high-court nominee John Roberts.
    Roberts was on a three-judge federal appeals court panel that last month ruled against Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a Yemeni who once was al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden’s driver.
    Hamdan’s attorneys told justices that the appeals court gave the White House authority "to (…)

    By J Sean Curtin
    After weeks of fierce political infighting within the governing Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), Japan’s Upper House of parliament has decisively rejected the flagship postal privatization bills of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, by 125 to 108 votes.
    Even though the LDP and its coalition partner, New Komeito, hold a majority in the 242-seat upper chamber, many members of the fractious LDP joined the opposition to vote down the crucial bills, which were a vital component (…)
