Cheers to all. It's that time of the month to share again this transmission from my correspondent. It's a shame that there isn't some kind easy litmus test for truth. However, you all must make of this what you will.

[Howlin]

For some reason I hardly believe, if it WAS leaked, that Debka would be the first to get it.

How could Rice be the one to rip to shreds over 9/11?

She must be a scary VP pick for the 2004 ticket as far as the dems are concerned.

Well, this vindicates me and anyone else who said 'nuke mecca'. And medina, and Riyadh..

We should NOW to get back at these BASTARDS

[Howlin]

I have NO idea; Chris Matthews is pushing that scenario, too!

And I agree about 2004.

I find the 1991 date particularly remarkable. That is when "the Soviet Union fell." Very interesting that this rash of double agency started then, assuming this is true. If this is true, the 28 pages if taken at face value ought to open additional avenues of inquiry into the very essence of our assumptions and understanding which underly the current orthodoxy that "the West won the Cold War."

[Uncle Miltie]

"the Saudis consistently deny American investigators access to suspects."

Wouldn't want any suspects to accidentally admit they are funded and hosted by the Princes....

[Uncle Miltie]

"Saudi funds continue to flow to al Qaeda and other terrorist groups in Europe and the Middle East"

Bump for truth.

[Uncle Miltie]

"the financing for at least two of the September 11 suicide hijackers came from two principal sources: ruling circles in Riyadh and close allies of Washington working out of the Saudi embassy in the heart of Foggy Bottom."

[Uncle Miltie]

"Saudi intelligence created, funded and armed the Taliban army of Afghanistan."

CAVEAT LECTOR [Rick Brookhiser]
Debka.com, a site that Jonah has mentioned before, predicts sandstorms and snowstorms in Iraq; says the allies didn't bring enough troops; foresees a fierce fight for Baghdad. Maybe they are right — in my experience, they are right about half the time — but a word on them is in order.

Debka is the name of an Israeli folk dance. The site comes from Israel, and seems to run the leavings of Israeli intelligence. Some of their items are stuff that was new yesterday, and hence, though true, is no longer vital, and so gets passed on to Debka. Some of it is stuff that an intelligence officer said, "Why are you putting this crap on my desk? Give it to Debka!"

There is also a steady tone of marginally anti-American doomsaying. In the big picture, Debka supports the United States, thought 9/11 was terrorism, etc., etc. But in virtually every specific case, it takes the view that Americans are dumb cattle who don't know what they're doing. I assume this attitude is compounded from 1) the desire for sensationalist copy 2) Israeli arrogance — more common before the intafadas than now, but still sometimes surfacing: only we understand the region, only we know how to fight, and so forth and so on.

This latest Debka 'exclusive' doesn't have the ring of truth to it.

I seriously doubt that a Republican-controlled committee would issue a report criticasl of Bush, especially in the run-up to an election year.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Interesting read.

[FairOpinion]

"The president could not prevent the congressional committee sending out unexpurgated copies to a long list of recipients in and outside America. Several dozen full texts have reached a number of European and Middle Eastern capitals. "

---

If this is true, it's high time we start trying those for treason, who release vital national security information.

My other comment is that,"Where were all the Republicans on the committee?!" to allow the Democrats to put in accusations, slander and highly sensitive information.

[FairOpinion]

And of course what was Clinton doing during his 8 years about all this?

[malia]

for later

[FairOpinion]

"DEBKAfile’s War Diary is included in US Library of Congress historic collection of 2003 War on Iraq on Internet"

----

If Debka is so unreliable, why do you think the Library of Congress decided to include Debka's reports?

[GOP_1900AD]

Indeed, I find most of the allegations that have officially surfaced to be far more damaging to the past Clinton administration than to the current one. Why won't Bush defend his good honor? Oh, oh, I know. Need to move on. Win - win. Begin in a freindly way, and all that other Dale Carnegie Institute of Yellow Bellied Appeasement rot.

I credit the Bush administration with yet ANOTHER piece of brilliant political manipulation (of his opponents).

The result of the 28 page blackouts is MORE congressional investigations, of the ROLE of Saudi Arabia, in funding and supporting terrorism.

Bush is using Congress to "out" Saudi Arabia. If it is later necessary to whack SA, it can be put forth as necessary by informaion investigated by Congress.

Bush will let the dems point toward those dastardly Saudis (and I believe them to be the worst).

Graham is NOT going anywhere, being a 2nd tier candidate. But the eventual dem candidate, could very well use a claim that Bush went soft on SA or has family ties with SA.

Later, when Bush whacks SA it will fit into a carefully orchestrated plot.

The visiting SA prince the other day, left KNOWING and revealing in his tone, that he knew he had been had.
