CIA Tries To Bury Truth On Bin Laden Katherine Shrader July 28, 2005 The CIA is squelching publication of a new book detailing events leading up to Osama bin Laden’s escape from his Tora Bora mountain stronghold during the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan, says a former CIA officer who led much of the fighting. In a story he says he resigned from the agency to tell, Gary Berntsen recounts the attacks he coordinated at the peak of the fighting in eastern Afghanistan in late 2001, (…)

Spend a little time exposing the various misdeeds of the Bush administration and you will find the Democratic side of the aisle jumping up and down and waving their arms like school children screaming for attention and crying “let us in and we’ll fix all the problems of this country.”
Such claims, of course, are bullshit because Democrats, like Republicans, devote all their time and energy to serving their own political agendas, not the country they have sworn to serve. Anyone who thinks (…)

The central Auckland real estate agent took a gamble on my softer accent, confident that I was Canadian - and lost. "You’re not American, I hope?"
"Yes, in fact, I am," I replied.
"That’s too bad," she answered and moved directly to business.
Five years ago, a millennium ago, I would have body-slammed her to the floor with a tirade on Bob Dylan and Thomas Jefferson, Homer Simpson and Seymour Hersh, Pixar and pumpkin pie. But that morning, a wave of newly acquired Kiwi restraint came (…)

In the wake of 7/7 the Brits are livid over their government’s intelligence failures. Just wait until they hear about ours.

Three new studies by the Saudi government and think tanks in Israel and Britain conclude what everyone already knows: The war in Iraq has incited more, not less, terrorism.

The Fiqh Council of North America is an association of Islamic scholars that interprets Islamic law for American Muslims.

June 30, 2005, was the peak of neocon delusion. On that day American Enterprise Institute neocon Karl Zinsmeister posted his article on the AEI online site titled: "The War is Over, and We Won."
No sooner than Zinsmeister put delusion to paper than US military commanders reported escalating and more sophisticated insurgency attacks. Casualties exploded with more deadly bombings, giving meaning to Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld’s projection of a 12-year war. The Congressional Budget Office (…)

Karl Rove’s only full-time foreign-policy advisor is Michael Ledeen, a rabid anti-Arab, pro-Israel activist. The FBI is investigating Ledeen for procuring forged documents (shown here) on nonexistent WMD, which George Bush used to justify his war on Iraq. When Joseph Wilson exposed the farce, Rove helped "out" Wilson’s CIA wife. Did Ledeen procure the documents for Rove, and how might he have done that? The story includes multinational stool pigeon Rocco Martino, Italian spy Francesco (…)
