This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

'Bush vs. the Beltway': Kicking the C.I.A. While It's Down:

"Mylroie complains that the C.I.A. seems to have been duped into believing that Al Qaeda is a loose-knit group of Islamic extremists, and that the agency's analysts have turned a collective blind eye to the evidence suggesting that Al Qaeda could well be a front organization for Iraqi intelligence. She believes that Iraq was behind almost every major terrorist attack of the past decade, dating back to the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993.

What has the C.I.A. overlooked that she hasn't? Here Mylroie slips, offering speculation in place of solid evidence. She suggests that key Qaeda leaders who have been captured by the United States may only be posing as Qaeda leaders: they could actually be Iraqi intelligence agents who are way, way undercover. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, Al Qaeda's chief of operations and the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, and who is now in American custody, may not really be Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. He could be an Iraqi intelligence agent secretly sent to run Al Qaeda by Saddam Hussein. Ramzi Yousef, the man behind the first World Trade Center bombing and a 1995 plot to blow up American airliners over the Pacific, who now sits in a federal prison, also may be an Iraqi agent. Both Mohammed and Yousef, who are related, are Kuwaitis originally from the Baluchistan region of Pakistan, and their papers and their identities could have been stolen for use by Iraqi intelligence agents during Baghdad's occupation of Kuwait in 1990. "


In short: This writer from the AMERICAN ENTEPRISE INSTITUTE thinks that sept. 11th and Al Qaeda are just fronts for the secret work of Iraqi intelligence. In shorter: All terrorism runs out of Baghdad. And for the flashback prone that sounds alot like the 80's concept that all terrorism was directed out of Moscow. That was wrong, as well as this is wrong. It might be politically useful to take our big bad enemy of today and make him responsible for all evil actions in the world, but its not realistic in my opinion.

President George W. Bush Speaks at AEI's Annual Dinner : February 28, 2003

At the American Enterprise Institute, some of the finest minds in our nation are at work on some of the greatest challenges to our nation. You do such good work that my administration has borrowed 20 such minds. I want to thank them for their service, but I also want to remind people that for 60 years, AEI scholars have made vital contributions to our country and to our government, and we are grateful for those contributions.


For a mugshot of Lynne Cheney, The Vice President's wife, you can also find that on the American Enterprise Institute website.
