No it is not crap. Read my post just above this one. Gordon Thomas is very impressive. What is even more impressive is his access to Mossad personnel.

I like the idea of the Mossad declaring war on jihadists wherever the may be. Think they may be having 'series' accidents about now in the UK or France or Germany or Belgium or whereever rats hide in sewers.

I stumbled onto this very old piece of crap article ... thought I'd update it a bit just for the heck of it. "Gordon Thomas," whoever he is, appears to be sanitizing & regurgitating an old January 2003 UPI article by "Richard Sale" that apparently received too little traction for the needs of the antiwar faction.

What was Gordon trying to sanitize? Why, apparently none other than the name of the source quoted in earlier article, posted here by the zotted "Ethan Allen" at post #99. That source is "Larry Johnson."

I guess I can't blame him for leaving it out, since Larry is now such a well-known moron.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 : (OOPS - LARRY JOHNSON) Two months later, the planes of September 11 crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. And Larry Johnson became known, at least in the eyes of some of his former colleagues, as the author of perhaps the most embarrassing op-ed ever published. “The worst,” says one such colleague. “On an issue of national interest, has there ever been a worse prognostication in the history of man?” Probably not. Yet Johnson’s career as a commentator did not just continue after September 11 — it thrived. ---------‘Mr. Counterterrorism Guru’ [Byron York on Larry Johnson] National Review Online ^ | May 24, 2006 | Bryon York

Larry Johnson is the "genius" who wrote these articles :

...Flashback: "Intelligence Analyst" Larry C. Johnson: "The Declining Terrorist Threat (July 10, 2001) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1447248/posts

and

He is also associated with the whole Niger flap, Valerie Plame story.

And he downplayed the London airliner plot where terrorists were trying to smuggle liquid explosives onto airscraft in order to detonate them over the Atlantic:

AUGUST 17, 2006 : (FORMER CIA ANALYST [and STATE DEPT HACK] LARRY JOHNSON WRITES ARTICLE FOR ANTIWAR BLOG DOWNPLAYING 2006 LONDON AIRLINER PLOT) Johnson has said Bush hyped intelligence reports about Iraq. He wrote an Aug. 17, 2006 piece for an antiwar blog stating, "It is a week since news broke in London about an alleged plot to blow up nine commercial jetliners, and there are emerging indicators that Bush and Blair exaggerated the truth about the actual readiness of the so-called plot." Johnson has been claiming presidents have been exaggerating the truth about terrorists since 1999. ----- "The Democrats' X-Men," by Michael P. Tremoglie, The Evening Bulletin, 10/04/2006

Larry's also involved with Ellsberg of Vietnam-era Pentagon Papers fame.

Larry's also wrote for the web site Truthout..com, which is in turn associated with the bought-off UNSCOM inspector Scott "Burger King" Ritter.
