White House Called Matt Drudge to Smear Reporter |
Submitted by: @ / 04 Dec 2005
Publisher: antiwar
|
On July 15, 2003, ABC News aired a story about the plummeting morale of U.S. troops in Iraq. It quoted soldiers questioning the war and the judgment and candor of their commanders. One frosted GI even went on camera to call for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to resign.
It was a devastating report, and the White House went into orbit over it. Rather than address the issues the soldiers raised, angry White House officials devised a plan to attack the messenger – the ABC correspondent who filed the story, Jeffrey Kofman.
He's gay, officials whispered to cyber-gossip Matt Drudge, a reliable Bush toady. Not only that, they sneered, he's not even an American. He's a Canadian.
Drudge, no longer the gadfly he once was during the Clinton years, dutifully posted a banner smear of Kofman on his Web site the day after the powerful ABC story, which had made national headlines. Drudge, who supports the Iraq invasion, later acknowledged the White House tipping him off, remarking that it "has become slightly more aggressive about contacting reporters." |

Ann Coulter Concerned For Personal Security At Dec. 7 UConn Appearance |
Submitted by: Safety News Service / 03 Dec 2005
Publisher: Safety News Service
|
Dec. 1 STORRS -- Conservative provocateur Ann Coulter today told host Bill O'Reilly of the Fox News O'Reilly Factor program that security concerns force her to employ a security detail when appearing on college campuses. The violence is caused by "liberals' inability to formulate an argument," claimed Coulter.
Coulter has reason for concern. Last year during an speech at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Coulter was attacked by pie wielding agents of "Al Pieda," a splinter cell of the Phoenix Anarchist Coalition. Safety News sources in the Connecticut anarchist community are warning of similar acts of resistance planned for Coulter's upcoming visit to the University of Connecticut. What should Coulter's security detail be prepared for, to keep Dec. 7, 2005 from becoming another date of infamy? Our off the record sources in the anti-Coulter insurgency and in campus law enforcement painted several frightening scenarios: Paintball Gun Ambushes An expanding gas cartridge (usually carbon dioxide, nitrogen or air) forces a paintball through a paintball gun barrel at a muzzle velocity of approximately 300ft/s (100m/s). Some paintball guns, for example the CO2 cartridge powered semi-automatic .40 Caliber Splatmatic XJ40, have an effective range of over 150 yards (137 meters). Paintball velocity is sufficient for most paintballs to break upon impact, but not fast enough to cause tissue damage beyond mild bruising. Being hit in an eye by a paintball, however, is when it stops being fun and games. This kind of firepower in the hands of Al Pieda means that Coulter's security team will have to go well beyond traditional bodyguard tactics and must be prepared to conduct rooftop sweeps and employ counter-sniper teams similar to the teams employed by the United States Secret Service when protecting President George W. Bush (R-TX). IEP's As direct frontal assaults on Coulter have resulted in the arrest and prosecution of activists, the use by the insurgency of remotely triggered IEP's, or improvised explosive pies, has not become more common, unfortuneately. But it ought to, because if Al Pieda agents had that kind of technical sophistication, that would be freaking cool, sources tell Safety News. Direct Action Safety News sources tell Safety News that direct action is probably the best bet for shutting down this evil hate witch's pro-occupation, pro-regime, pro-Nazi propaganda and noxious poison. A thousand students rioting in Jorgensen Hall will probably shut her down. Remember, bulky jackets are NOT allowed, so agents will have to smuggle in weapons, fruit, and tasty confections using other means. Good luck agents, says a Saftey News source. |

Simulated Iraqi Resistance Threatens to Kill Peace Activists to Bolster Support for Bush |
Submitted by: ? / 02 Dec 2005
Publisher: AP
|
A U.S. sponsored black-ops intelligence operation has kidnapped peace activists in Iraq and is now threatening to kill them. This, of course, is one more case of the Bush Administration killing leftists and pretending that the murderers are al-Qaeda in order to push up his polls (which won't happen).
Previous examples: Picking New York as the target for 9/11, blowing up Trains in Spain, and now, killing peace activists in Iraq. All done by unknown people described as al-Qaeda and all intended to benefit Bush. |

Vietnam War Intelligence 'Deliberately Skewed,' Secret Study Says |
Submitted by: yo / 02 Dec 2005
Publisher: NYTimes via Commondreams.org
|
WASHINGTON - The National Security Agency has released hundreds of pages of long-secret documents on the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident, which played a critical role in significantly expanding the American commitment to the Vietnam War.
The material, posted on the Internet overnight Wednesday, included one of the largest collections of secret intercepted communications ever made available. The most provocative document is a 2001 article in which an agency historian argued that the agency's intelligence officers "deliberately skewed" the evidence passed on to policy makers and the public to falsely suggest that North Vietnamese ships had attacked American destroyers on Aug. 4, 1964.
Based on the assertion that such an attack had occurred, President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered airstrikes on North Vietnam and Congress passed a broad resolution authorizing military action... |

Brazilian Police Are Murderous Thugs |
Submitted by: {A} / 02 Dec 2005
Publisher: BBC
|
A leading human rights group says Brazil has abandoned millions of its poor in shanty town to the control of criminal gangs and drugs traffickers.
In a new report, Amnesty International also criticises the large number of execution-style killings by police.
It says Brazil's public security policies have not only failed to reduce levels of violence and crime, but have contributed to their growth.
Police kill about 2,000 people a year in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. |
