One Year of Covert HistoryIt is difficult to believe that it was one year ago today that I launched this blog with this post about JFK assassination suspect David Atlee Phillips. (It was this post in fact which led to this blog being referenced in Joan Mellen's A Farewell to Justice.) At that time I did not have a home computer and so I blogged mostly on my lunch break. Joseph Cannon was the first blogger to link to this site, followed by Professor Hex, and then others. At that time I did not have Sitemeter, and so did not know how few people were...

CBS News, ABC News and the Lone Assassin Theory---A Flash Essay by Roger Bruce Feinman, J.D.This runs about 50 minutes and I haven't had a chance to watch the whole thing yet.OverviewBackground on the PresentationIn that presentation I detailed, among other things, how a conflict among CBS News executives in 1966 over whether to present a balanced debate or to editorialize on the case resulted in a defense brief for the Warren Commission, aided in secret by a former member of the commission, John J. McCloy; how CBS suppressed an explosive discovery...

American Soldier Trains His KillersA few weeks before he died, a depressed Spc. Patrick Ryan McCaffrey called his father from Iraq and told him that he had just been fired upon by the Iraqi troops he was helping to train. "They were on night patrol, and they had been fired upon by what they thought were 12 insurgents. They killed several of them, and three surrendered," said Bob McCaffrey on Tuesday in a phone interview with The Chronicle. "Some of the dead ones were part of the group that they had been training for a week, and the survivors were...

Losing the Afghan War?"There is an awful feeling that everything is lurching downward," the Western diplomat told the Washington Post."Nearly five years on, there is no rule of law. ... The Afghans know it is all a charade, and they see us as not only complicit, but actively involved. You cannot fight a terror war and build a weak state at the same time, and it was a terrible mistake to think we could."

Extreme right-wing blogger Atlas Shrugs said on Friday:I understand Michael Ledeen spoke at a small lunch in DC today. The situation with Condi/Iran reminded him of Churchill's observation about Chamberlain going to Munich to negotiate with Hitler: "He had a choice between dishonor and war. He chose dishonor and got war." Cheney and Rumsfeld are all we have left. That's why the CIA weasels and the Traitor Media will now focus all their guns on them. She is dismayed that Condi may carry the day. She reports that Bush's private nickname for Condi...

Without a draft or a substantial increase in coalition forces on the ground in Iraq, we do not have the resources to conduct a counterinsurgency campaign. If we decided to go this route we must be ready to accept that the process will endure several years and that casualty rates for coalition forces would, at least over the short run, increase dramatically. Talking about this is pure fantasy. No political leader in the United States has the stomach or courage go down this ro...

BBC on Iraqi Plan for Peace Other parts of the plan are an insistence that democracy has arrived in Iraq and must be supported, a refusal to set any date or timetable for a total withdrawal of US troops (presented as a weakness), yet with a suggestion that a reduction might start soon as the effort to transfer responsibility to Iraqi forces gathers pace.Yesterday we were told by The Times, which said that it had seen the plan, that it would include a timetable for withdrawal of all foreign troops. MSNBC/Newsweek had also seen the plan and had reported:June...

WMDs Found in IraqI opened the folded off-white paper form and noticed several interesting things right away. The bombs had been purchased in the United States in 1988 from what appeared to be a government contractor called The Carlyle Group. I am almost embarrassed now to say that I had not heard of The Carlyle Group at that time so the name meant nothing to me. The only reason I remember it at all is that I was amazed that the bill was in English and I was stunned to see that a bomb that was used by Iraq in delivering chemical WMD – the only...

There has been a lot in the news about the possibility of an "amnesty" to local Iraqi insurgents who only have American blood on their hands. The Bush Administration may not like this but may well accept it as part of an Iraqi plan for peace. The Times has this story about negotiations that just might put an end to this war. The 28 point package may also call for a timetable for an American withdrawal.The Government will promise a finite, UN-approved timeline for the withdrawal of all foreign troops from Iraq; a halt to US operations against insurgent...

Greg Palast on Caging Lists and Why the GOP Does Not Want the Voting Rights Act RenewedIn the 2004 Presidential race, the GOP ran a massive multi-state, multi-million-dollar operation to challenge the legitimacy of Black, Hispanic and Native-American voters.

And while the Bush Administration’s Civil Rights Division grinned and looked the other way, civil rights lawyers are circling, preparing to sue to stop the violations of the Act before the 2008 race.Therefore, Republicans have promised...

Conservative Columnist calls Democrats TraitorsI have noticed a disturbing trend in recent years of personalities on the Right using the language of treason to describe people on the other side. The vile Ann Coulter is one example. Hal Lindsey, the bestselling author of several nutball religious books, including The Late Great Planet Earth, has a regular column on WorldNutDaily. Today he describes 39 Senators as Quislings because of a vote they cast on Iraq.Yesterday, the U.S. Senate rehabilitated Vikdun Quisling's historical legacy somewhat, with...

William Arkin on Korean Missile Non-CrisisNorth Korea, starved for attention and with its own fish to fry domestically and in its own region, may or may not be preparing some rocket for launch, and it may or may not be attempting to use its missile as a bargaining chip or a PR stunt, and it may just be attempting to put its own satellite into space. What should crystal clear though in a world of risks and balances is that North Korea's missile, even if it exists, is hardly a threat to us.Many in Seoul are dismissing the reports of fueling and the...

Professor Alfred McCoy, noted historian and expert on the CIA, on the Guantanamo suicides:Guantanamo is not a conventional military prison. It's an ad hoc laboratory for the perfection of the CIA psychological torture. Guantanamo is a complete construction. It's a system of total psychological torture, designed to break down every detainee contained therein, designed to produce a state of hopelessness and despair that leads, tragically, sadly in this case to suicide.Torture is a very reliable means of destroying a prisoner psychological. It is,...

I am not one to think that Zarqawi is entirely the creations of U.S. Intelligence but cleary to a great extent his "myth" was. On April 10 the Washington Post ran a widely quoted story showing just to what extent, and how successfully, the military played up Zarqawi as the face of the Iraqi insurgency. As one document obtained by the Post stated, "The Zarqawi PSYOP program is the most successful information campaign to date." Al-Ahram Weekly in Cairo interviewed several Arab analysts. Khalaf Al-Oliyan of the Iraqi Accord Front -- the main Sunni...

Ann Coulter Smoking Crack?I would like evolution to join the roster of other discredited religions, like the Cargo Cult of the South Pacific.

So they constructed “airport towers” out of bamboo and “headphones” out of coconuts and waited for the airplanes to come with the cargo. It may sound silly,...

"A Classic Psy-Ops Campaign"For more than two years it has been widely reported that the U.S. invaded Iraq because of intelligence failures. But in fact it is far more likely that the Iraq war started because of an extraordinary intelligence success—specifically, an astoundingly effective campaign of disinformation, or black propaganda, which led the White House, the Pentagon, Britain's M.I.6 intelligence service, and thousands of outlets in the American media to promote the falsehood that Saddam Hussein's nuclear-weapons program posed a grave...
