Afghanistan: The Genesis of the Final Crusade
By Abid ullah jan

Quote from Editor's Note:

This book gives the first and only clearest and most persuasive explanation of how Osama bin Laden was set up for shouldering the blame of 9/11 attacks, why the Taliban become a prime target of Islamophobes and why perpetrators of 9/11 felt the need to commit this heinous crime.

Written with great clarity and precision, this book exposes the extra ordinary religious motivation and political hypocrisy behind the march to war on Afghanistan.

Keep President & SecDef, Fire the VP, DNI, and DCI

Robert David STEELE Vivas, a career intelligence officer who went on to found the Marine Corps Intelligence Command and then the international Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) movement, spoke today in praise of Mary McCarthy, and simultaneously called for the resignation of Vice President Dick Cheney, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Negroponte, and Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) Porter Goss.

"This is a no-brainer. Dick Cheney personally destroyed the Boren-McCurdy National Security Act of 1992. Dick Cheney personally blew off the warnings on 9-11 and chose to focus on secret deals with Enron and Exxon, and missile defense, as well as a war on Iraq where the only winners are Halliburton and other friends of the Vice President who have looted tens of billions from the U.S. taxpayer. Dick Cheney, more than any other single individual, personally sidelined Secretary of State Colin Powell, gave the accommodating Secretary of Defense his marching orders, and single-handedly destroyed the entire U.S. policy process across all topics, from Defense to Diplomacy to Economy to Treasury.

WTC7's Rubble Pile

Tonya posted some new pictures today of Ground Zero and the Pentagon which she came across on a photography site. These are pretty high resolution, so we have zipped them up and hosted them here.

Alternatively, you can find each of the individual shots here:

Last week on Rush Limbaugh's radio show, embattled Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld told listeners it was important to recognize that the terrorists are actively out there trying to manipulate the press in the United States. They are very good at it. They're much better at [laughing] managing those kinds of things than we are.

Don't be so hard on yourself, Mr. Secretary. Let's not forget the way you guys duped the 'liberal media' in the runup to the Iraq war.
