IRAQI
JOURNALIST EXPELLED while U.S. journalists
are at ease in Iraq: On
February 15, according to U.S. reports, Iraqi
journalist Mohammad Allawi was
ordered to leave the U.S. within 15 days. He was
given no reason for his
expulsion. He told reporters that he has strictly
confined his writing to
United Nations proceedings and has not reported
anything about the United
States. He does not travel outside the United
Nations environs.
By contrast, U.S. journalists in big numbers,
are in Iraq and are free to
report all kinds of propaganda against Iraq.

CIA's
THREE MUSKETEERS:
While being questioned by the Senate
Select Intelligence Committee,
CIA Director Tenet praised three "Muslim" rulers
for having been most
cooperative with the U.S. war on the Islamic
movement. These have gone beyond
the call of duty to help the CIA. These are
Mubarak
of
Egypt
(CIA's point
man), Abdullah of Jordan (most enthusiastic in
his cooperation) and Musharref
of
Pakistan.
[Musharref even handed over the
Taliban ambassador, Mullah Zaif,
to the U.S., a breach of international law
hitherto unknown in Islamic
history.]
Tenet refused to talk about Osama bin Laden
and asked Committee members
to ask him in a closed session. He could not
confirm an al-Qaida base in Iraq
but talked about Al-Zarqawi's presence in Iraq
and a dozen or so Egyptians
connected to Islamic Jihad who are visiting
Baghdad.
He said Hizbullah has not done anything
objectionable for a long time
but needs to be kept in view because it has
potential to act. (Source:

February 15. Actual meeting was on February 11.)

IS PRESIDENT
BUSH
BEING MISADVISED?
Is it possible that President Bush is being
given advice which has
little or no relevance to the realities of the
world? At a program on
February 12 at Columbia University in New York,
three important "expert"
supporters of Bush advanced views of the world
which by objective standards
would be sufficient to put them (the experts) in
an institute for mental
therapy.
PAUL BREMER, an AntiTerrorism Adviser to
Bush claimed that the
terrorists (meaning Osama and perhaps Saddam) are
planning to "DESTROY OUR
CIVILIZATION." He spoke in terms of millions of
Americans in danger of being
killed by random acts of terror.
Which Muslim country, let alone Osama, has
enough weaponry to "destroy
our civilization?" Even the entire Muslim world
combined has no such
capability. Neither Osama nor Saddam have called
for random attacks on
American cities. America is the most powerful
country in the world. It
certainly cannot be destroyed by any such attacks
even if they are as
ferocious as
9.11.
Bremer has neither context nor
text and is simply dealing
in hysteria.
FRANK GAFFNEY, who is CEO of his own Center
for Security Policy, appears
on cable TV more frequently than many film stars.
He is probably the biggest
idiot playing this "security" game. He claimed
during the Feb. 12 speech that
the Oklahoma City bombing was done by Iraq,
absolutely like that, without
even a hint of evidence.
JAMES WOOLSEY, former Director of the CIA,
lives on some cloud of his
own. He was of the view that we should convince
the people of the Arab
countries that we want to give them DEMOCRACY. As
a result they will give up
rulers like Mubarak and side with the U.S.! [Who
said CIA Directors cannot be
idiots. He was simply ignoring the fact that the
only reason Egypt does not
have an Islamic republic standing in battle
against the terrorist entity
known as
Israel
is owing to Mubarak's
bloodthirsty regime. Funded by $2.8
billion from the U.S. every year, Mubarak
routinely tortures Islamic
opponents and has imprisoned 60,000 people. The
people of Egypt want ISLAM,
not some phoney democracy imported with FBI help.
Doesn't Woolsey know why
Shaikh Omar Abdel Rahman
is in a U.S. prison in
Colorado?]
