THE VALUE OF PAYING ATTENTION...

jewishworldreview.com:

Shlomit was driving on a main highway in Israel, on her way to a town inside the green line, to visit her married daughter and grandchildren. She found herself behind a large garbage truck, but, not being in a hurry and preferring not to pass on a busy road, she drove contentedly along behind him, listening to a CD of Devora Gila, a religious female Joan Baez-type singer. The yellow license plate on the truck in front of her indicated that it was owned by an Israeli. The cars of Palestinian drivers living under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority have white or green plates. There are, however, Arab-owned vehicles with yellow plates those belonging to Arab residents of East Jerusalem.
Shlomit noticed that other cars were flying by them, but a car with white plates remained steadfastly behind her. She was sandwiched between the two.

After a while, the garbage truck pulled over to the side of the road and Shlomit passed it. Something made her glance up at her rear view mirror, and she saw that the Palestinian car was also pulling over. Shlomit saw the driver get out and hand a small package to the driver of the garbage truck.

This, she thought the transfer of something from a white-plate to a yellow-plate driver was a little odd.

So Shlomit, being a good citizen, upon reaching a roadblock several miles up the road, told the story to a soldier manning the post.

"Would you mind sticking around for a few minutes?" he asked.

"No problem," said Shlomit and settled down with a cup of coffee kindly offered by the young man in the bulletproof vest and helmet.

A few minutes later the garbage truck rolled into the roadblock lane. Having yellow plates, it should have passed through fairly easily. But the soldiers, tipped off by Shlomit, examined his cab even more carefully than usual. They found the little package and opened it.

It contained explosives. My friend Shlomit probably saved some lives that day.

Pentagon: Top al-Qaida Operative Escaped
AP ^ | 11/01/05 | ALICIA A. CALDWELL

Posted on 11/01/2005 8:33:35 PM PST by jdsteel

FORT BLISS, Texas - A man once considered a top al-Qaida operative escaped from a U.S.-run detention facility in Afghanistan and cannot testify against the soldier who allegedly mistreated him, a defense lawyer involved in a prison abuse case said Tuesday.

Omar al-Farouq was one of Osama bin Laden's top lieutenants in Southeast Asia until Indonesian authorities captured him in the summer of 2002 and turned him over to the United States.

A Pentagon official in Washington confirmed Tuesday evening that al-Farouq escaped from a U.S. detention facility in Bagram, Afghanistan, on July 10...

Capt. John B. Parker, a prosecutor, said al-Farouq and three others escaped from the Bagram detention center and have not been found.

"If we find him ... we will make him available," Parker said.

House, Senate differ on flu plan
By Jeffrey Young
The initial response by House and Senate
Republicans to President Bush’s new request
for billions of dollars to pay for pandemic-flu
preparedness demonstrates the divide
between the two chambers on rising
government spending.

While the Senate GOP leadership moved
quickly in an attempt to accommodate at
least part of the $7.1 billion request, the
House leadership indicated that rank-and-file
members would demand that the new
spending be offset.

Underlying these differences may be the
recognition that the administration’s
unprecedented federal investment in public
health since 2001 has stood as only a first
installment.

The bulk of the president’s call for $7.1 billion
would go toward developing, purchasing and
stockpiling vaccines and drugs and to
promoting the expansion of the domestic
vaccine manufacturing system.

Nearly $1 billion, however, is targeted to the
public-health system, including money for
state and local governments, and would build
on money distributed in the past four years
for similar efforts to ready the country for a
bioterrorist attack.

“We must ensure that all levels of
government are ready to act to contain an
outbreak,” Bush said during his speech at the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) in
Bethesda, Md., yesterday.

“At this moment, there is no pandemic
influenza in the United States or the world.
But if history is our guide, there is reason to
be concerned,” Bush said, citing the nearly 50
million people killed by pandemic flu strains
during the 20th century.

Bush looked to allay public fear of avian flu
while emphasizing his view that the need for
preparations is urgent. The president
undertook a similar balancing act when
selling his bioterrorism plans to Congress
several years ago. The administration would
not say whether it had knowledge of an
imminent bioterrorist attack but urged that
preparations be made quickly nonetheless.

With its primary focus on developing and
procuring vaccines and drugs, the president’s
flu proposal has many differences from the
bioterrorism strategy. Parts of it, however,
represent a continuation of steps taken in
recent years to prepare the country for a
terrorist attack using a biological agent, such
as the October 2001 anthrax incidents on
Capitol Hill and in New York and Florida.

In the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks, Bush introduced plans to shore up
the nation’s defenses against a bioterrorist
attack using killer diseases such as smallpox
and anthrax. By extension, the new initiative
would establish stronger safeguards against
naturally occurring diseases such as the flu,
administration officials repeatedly said at the
time.

Near the end of his remarks, the president
urged Congress to fund his plan. “All the
steps I’ve outlined today require immediate
resources,” he said.

Congress has provided billions of dollars in
funding for local and state agencies, hospitals
and other components of the public-health
infrastructure since 2001.

However, a Congress wearied by massive
emergency spending requests for the war in
Iraq, Gulf Coast hurricane relief and other
administration priorities may turn a skeptical
eye toward ramping up funding for
improvements to the public-health system.

“I think there will be a strong desire in our
conference, and hopefully in the Senate as
well, to pay for those things as they come
up,” House Majority Leader Roy Blunt
(R-Mo.) told reporters yesterday.

“House Republicans take this matter seriously
and will be working with the administration
on it,” said a spokesman for House Speaker
Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.). The Labor, Health
and Human Services Subcommittee of the
House Appropriations Committee will hold a
hearing on flu preparedness today.

The Senate has already acted by approving a
Democratic plan to provide $8 billion for flu
preparedness by voice vote last week. One of
the lead sponsors of the legislation, Sen.
Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), was a guest of
the president at the NIH yesterday.

In a statement, Senate Minority Leader Harry
Reid (D-Nev.) remarked, “I’m glad to see
that the president has finally followed our
lead and released his avian-flu plan today.”

Shortly before the president’s speech, Senate
Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) and
Senate Budget Committee Chairman Judd
Gregg (R-N.H.) proposed dedicating almost
$4 billion to flu preparedness by redirecting
savings from cuts in the Senate’s
budget-reconciliation bill.

Bush’s call for the same actions for pandemic
flu as for bioterrorism suggests the previous
investments may not have been as broadly
targeted as the administration intended.

Public-health officials warned that
policymakers should not view the president’s
request for more money as a sign that the
previous billions were spent in vain.

Leah Devlin, the top public-health official in
North Carolina, cautioned that public-health
preparedness is an ongoing process. “It’s not
a destination; it’s a journey,” she said. “We’ll
never be done.”

The public-health system is much better
prepared to react to infectious-disease
outbreaks, be they natural or terrorist in
nature, than it was four years ago, agreed
Patrick Libbey, executive director of the
National Association of County and City
Health Officials. Libbey emphasized that
financial resources at the local level continue
to be stretched.

American Public Health Association Executive
Director Georges Benjamin said that results
should be measured using a realistic
assessment of where the process started in
2001. “The hole was huge” in the
public-health system, so four years of new
federal funding has gone only so far, he said.

Benjamin also said that the narrow targeting
of the bioterrorism grants issued to states
and localities encouraged officials to make
sure that all of the dollars were directed to
bioterrorism-specific expenses. As a result,
money was not spent on activities that could
have had broader use.

Moreover, Benjamin noted that the fact that a
biological attack had actually taken place
using anthrax provided an obvious motivation
to focus attention on that area.

Administration officials and members of
Congress in both parties have acknowledged
that the United States is unprepared to
respond adequately to a pandemic flu.

The spread of avian influenza, known as the
H5N1 strain of flu, across Asia and into
Europe has seized the attention of the
administration and lawmakers and created
anxiety among the public.

No evidence has emerged that the disease
can be transmitted from one person to
another, and only people in very close
contact with infected birds have so far
become infected. Nevertheless, migratory
birds to date have carried the disease as far
as Eastern Europe. Federal officials and
public-health experts agree that birds will
continue to become infected and worry that
the disease will mutate and become more
contagious to humans.

The administration wants to make sure that,
in the event of an outbreak of avian flu, the
government can prevent the spread of the
disease, treat the sick and vaccinate as many
people as possible. An outbreak would have
to be detected early, local authorities would
have to respond quickly, and local, state and
federal agencies would have to coordinate
with each other and with private-sector
entities such as hospitals. In the meantime,
the United States will closely watch for signs
of an outbreak anywhere in the world and
fund research into better vaccines and drugs.

The plan’s focus on domestic vaccine
development reflects the concern many
policymakers have had for years that the
shortcomings of this sector pose a serious
threat.

Bush laid much of the blame for the vanishing
U.S. vaccine market on the companies’
exposure to liability. “In the past three
decades, the number of vaccine
manufacturers in America has plummeted, as
the industry has been flooded with lawsuits,”
he said.

Last year’s shortage of vaccine made abroad
for the ordinary flu provided a possible
preview of what could happen during a
pandemic if vaccine is not available on U.S.
soil, proponents of liability protections have
argued.

Senate Republicans attempted to include a
liability shield for vaccine makers in
bioterrorism bills that passed in recent years
but relented to assuage Democratic
objections.

The Bush plan also would give $2.8 billion to
the NIH for research into new, more efficient
and speedier vaccine manufacturing
techniques. Currently, scientists must obtain
an actual sample of a new flu virus before
they can begin the months-long process of
creating a vaccine.

Legislation penned by Sen. Richard Burr
(R-N.C.) includes provisions similar to the
president’s plan.

Burr wants to expand the two-year-old
Project BioShield, which been criticized for
failing to generate adequate interest among
the drug and biotechnology companies it
needs to succeed. Project BioShield was
intended to encourage companies to research
and develop treatments for diseases that
could be used for terrorism by guaranteeing
that the government would stockpile the
products.

House Energy and Commerce Committee
Chairman Joe Barton (R-Texas) has been
drafting a flu bill for several months and
tentatively plans a hearing for next week, a
spokesperson said.

Israel Hasbara Committee

Abbas’ DilemmaBy Khaled Abu ToamehIHC Abstract^T4The Hadera suicide bombing in Israel has
escalated Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ political crisis that resulted in a heated
session of the Palestinian Legislative Council in Ramallah. Fatah, Islamic Jihad members and masked
gunmen belonging to Fatah and Islamic Jihad held a joint press conference in Gaza City claiming
responsibility for the Hadera attack. Sources in Tulkarm stated Islamic Jihad operative Luai Sa'd
and Majed al-Ashkar, a senior leader of Fatah's armed wing, the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, had formed a
joint Fatah-Islamic Jihad. Militiamen belonging to Abbas' ruling Fatah party are operating openly
together with Islamic Jihad in the West Bank, Jenin, Nablus and Gaza Strip. The growing cooperation
between Fatah and Islamic Jihad activists in the West Bank has prompted some of Abbas' top aides to
voice concern that Islamic Jihad elements would now try to infiltrate the PA security forces. The IHC

If suicide bombers come to America, they are likely to be carrying
biological, chemical or nuclear weapons with them, according to an
al-Qaida memo discovered by Pakistani authorities.

Pakistan President Pervez Musharaf, under heavy American pressure,
has once again instructed his security and intelligence chiefs to focus
on jihadi suicide volunteers – this time because of a memo showing
they will be used to carry weapons of mass destruction, reveals
Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

The president, himself under the constant shadow of militants
threatening to assassinate him, reacted to a coded memo discovered
during a recent raid on pro-al-Qaida activists in Karachi, by sharing
parts of the memo's alarming contents with friendly governments.

Topping the memo's list stands the U.S., although European countries
are also specified as preferred targets. Unlike many other discoveries
of terrorist documents, this memo has an added factor causing more
than the usual concern.

In it are detailed a number of ideas and options for attacking the West
with WMDs by using suicide volunteers.

Related to this memo is a Spanish decision, voiced by Interior Minister
Antonio Alonzo, to assign close to 2,000 security agents to a training
and deployment program on the danger of nuclear, chemical and
bacteriological terror attacks.

Information from Russia passed on to the Pakistani intelligence and
security service, following the disaster at the Beslan school, has
contributed even more tension to the situation. The Russians claim
many of the so-called Arab mujahedeen killed during the attack on the
school had visited Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan on several
occasions. Similar claims and information came from the U.K. where
law-enforcement agencies are still in the midst of their recent
anti-terror operation that began last month. Several of those
apprehended in the U.K. are of Pakistani origin with strong ties to
anti-Musharaf forces.

A well-connected source in Islamabad told Western diplomats the
captured document included phrases not immediately and correctly
analyzed. One such phrase says: "Aamaliat b'anika." It was later
learned that "b'anika" actually means "Panica," or "panic," and
"Aamaliat" means "operation." Experts on terror attempts to hit the
U.S. with WMDs further analyzed the sentence and associated it to a
1968 Hollywood production titled "Panic in the City."

The movie describes in detail a terrorist plan to build a nuclear bomb
by using easily available materials and working in the basement of a
Los Angeles home. In the movie, an agent sacrifices his life to fly the
bomb away from the city to the open ocean where it explodes, sparing
Los Angeles.

Supporters of Osama bin Laden have said on numerous occasions
their master had studied over the years a variety of Western fictional
material, and it is quite possible this movie was one of the Hollywood
productions he actually viewed. In recent years, several TV and movie
productions dealt with similar scenarios, such as in the TV series "24"
and the movie titled "The Sum of All Fears."

Interest in suicide bombers who may be carrying WMDs has increased
since the discovery of the memo and evidence of a possible Pakistani
terrorist connection to Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Egypt. Western
intelligence agencies are convinced Pakistan is now the No. 1
producer of jihadi suicide candidates and that many of Pakistan's
madrassas and militant mosques are hosting an ever-growing number
of Muslim foreigners.

The presence of non-Pakistanis in the militant milieu of many mosques
and religious schools, mostly those near and in the Peshawar region,
is a reason for major concern. Recently Pakistani mullahs and imams
have begun to describe suicide attacks in India in terms such as "a
three-year success story," making it clear to their disciples suicide
bombings are a morale booster to the larger Muslim world.

An Israeli intelligence officer, an expert on suicide bombing and
recruitment methods for volunteers ready to die in the name of Allah,
stated he believes suicide bombings will hit Europe and the Americas
much sooner than previously expected. Pro-al-Qaida agitators are
now active in many pockets inside Muslim immigrant communities
around the world where candidates are being selected and tactics of
recruiting jihadi suicide bombers have been changed. In most cases
volunteers are no longer sent to be trained in Pakistan or other
so-called sympathetic environments. More often than not the entire
training, indoctrination and brainwashing process is now undertaken
within the target countries. On the other hand, friendly and accessible
Pakistani scientists remain the main attraction for terrorists seeking
nuclear know-how.

The growing number of young Muslim converts ready to act in their
own countries is alarming. A U.S. official commented lately on the
difficulty of identifying homegrown youth as candidates for evil.
Similar statements were echoed by a growing number of
law-enforcement officials in the U.S. and Europe who say they have
great difficulties in understanding who-is-who in Muslim communities.

“Small businesses form the backbone of our nation’s economy, and their emergency preparedness is crucial to keeping our nation secure,” said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. “A commitment to planning today can protect a business and give it a better chance for survival in the event of a natural disaster, terrorist attack or other emergency.”
