"Bruce Loudon, South Asia correspondent
ReplyDeleteSeptember 30, 2006
IN a new embarrassment for peripatetic Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, Taliban officials have opened an office in the capital of Pakistan's North Waziristan region, where Osama bin Laden is believed to have his headquarters.
The office, in Miramshah's main bus station, is said to be operating with the complicity of Pakistani authorities.
And Taliban office workers have organised a pamphlet drop calling on locals to contact them on all matters relating to law and order.
Yesterday's disclosure of the office's opening came as General Musharraf had talks in London with British Prime Minister Tony Blair and angrily rejected new charges of complicity between the principal Pakistani intelligence organisation, the Inter-Services Intelligence, and the Taliban and al-Qa'ida. ...
... On Thursday night, South Asia was alive with accounts of what was described as "an extremely frosty" encounter in Washington, during which Mr Karzai hammered home his conviction that Islamabad was not doing enough to deal with Taliban and al-Qa'ida activity within its territory, while General Musharraf declared it was doing everything that could reasonably be expected of it. ,,,
...Leading Pakistani newspaper Dawn said the Taliban office in Miramshah, headquarters of the North Waziristan Agency, was there for "curbing crimes and antisocial activities" in the area.
The newspaper said announcements were made and pamphlets distributed in the town asking residents to co-operate with the Taliban in keeping peace in the agency, where bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri are believed to have their operational base.
Apart from the public emergence of an organisation that is doing battle with -- and killing -- NATO forces across the border in Afghanistan, Dawn also reported that Pakistani military authorities have returned AK-47 assault rifles, books and other materials belonging to a seminary owned by Afghan jihadi commander Maulvi Jalaluddin Haqqani. ...'
...So the jihadi commander has got his guns and his books back, thanks to the Pakistani army. ..."

ReplyDeleteTensions over Georgia boiled over at NATO-Russia talks on Sept. 29 as Russian Defence Minister Sergei Ivanov accused some alliance nations of illicitly selling weapons to the ex-Soviet country.
NATO declined to comment on his remarks and urged restraint from both Moscow and Tbilisi in their row over Georgia’s move to press spying charges against a group of Russian army officers.
U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld strongly defended Georgia’s ambition to join NATO, an aspiration that has angered Moscow and contributed to the mounting tensions between the two countries.
"Some members of NATO -- shall we call them the younger generation? -- are supplying Georgia with arms and ammunition of Soviet production," Ivanov told a news briefing after his talks with NATO counterparts in the Slovenian coastal resort of Portoroz.

ReplyDeleteThe report by the House Government Reform Committee, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters, said the panel found about 485 contacts between Abramoff and his associations and the White House, including 10 with Karl Rove, who is President George W. Bush's top political adviser.
ReplyDeleteThe committee based its findings on 14,000 pages of e-mails and billing records spanning three years ending in 2003, the committee report said.
The White House challenged the credibility of the report, saying it was based on material originally generated by Abramoff. Abramoff and associates have pleaded guilty to conspiracy, fraud and related crimes in an influence-peddling scandal that reached into the U.S. Congress.
"The billing records that are the basis for this report are widely regarded as fraudulent in how they misrepresent Abramoff's activities and level of access. There is no reason why they should suddenly be viewed as credible," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

ReplyDelete"Can't you be honest at least once in your life, and admit that you are a deceitful liar who intentionally deceived your nation when you drove them to war in Iraq," Ayman al-Zawahiri said in a portion of the video released by the Washington-based SITE Institute.
Zawahiri is clearly saying "Bush lied. People died. Iraq is the distraction from the War on Terror".
And here is Bin Laden in his October 2004 message to the American voter just prior to the presidential election:
"It never occurred to us that the commander-in-chief of the American armed forces would abandon 50,000 of his citizens in the twin towers to face those great horrors alone, the time when they most needed him.
But because it seemed to him that occupying himself by talking to the little girl about the goat and its butting was more important than occupying himself with the planes and their butting of the skyscrapers, we were given three times the period required to execute the operations—all praise is due to Allah."
Yes, he was echoing the Democrats "My Pet Goat gambit. No mention of Bin Laden, though, in Zawahiri's message.

ReplyDeleteHoly St Pete!
ReplyDeleteThe boy, who is not being identified because of his age, told the St. Petersburg Times in an interview last November, when the Times first learned of the e-mails, that he cut off correspondence with Foley. [emphasis added]
What gives? Did the boy ask the St. Pete Times not to print? Why would that be if a) he'd already sent excerpts from Foley's emails back to Congressional staffers and b) he agreed to be interviewed by the paper? Maybe the paper held off purely out a concern about libel, but the suddenness of Foley's resignation (and the fact another page has apparently come forward) suggests this wasn't necessarily the toughest nut to crack. And since Brian Ross and ABC News had no problem breaking the story wide open, the libel argument doesn't seem to hold much water.
So if the St. Pete Times could have nailed the story down a long time ago and didn't, that leads us to two fairly divergent pieces of speculation: Was the paper planning on springing the story closer to the election and got scooped by CREW and ABC News? Or was the paper deliberately ignoring the story in an effort to cover for Foley? Neither seems all that likely to me, so I'm at a loss as to what motivated the St. Petersburg Times to keep a lid on this story for the better part of a year.
UPDATE: Looks like the St. Pete Times may not have been the only group sitting on this story. Josh Marshall asks the same question of the House GOP leadership: what did they know about Foley and when did they know it?

ReplyDeleteDean Barnett 8:12 AM
In the race to the bottom, the Jim Webb campaign has scored a stunning and decisive victory. It can now officially be said that the Webb campaign has become the most vicious and pathetically negative campaign in modern history.
Webb’s virtual surrogates have unearthed another scandal to tar Allen with. I’ll let the Daily Kos diarist take it from here:...
...
Imagine what it’s like to be Jim Webb. You’ve spent six decades living an admirable and worthy life, and then in the course of a few weeks on the campaign trail, you piss it all away. The appeal of Jim Webb as a candidate is that he’s brave, a hero. Webb has had several opportunities to be brave and stand up to gutter politics the last few weeks. He has declined them all. Whatever courage Webb showed in past endeavors has obviously not carried over into the political arena.

ReplyDeleteGoldilocks Economy:
ReplyDelete"We are enjoying a goldilocks economy, not too hot and not too cold." In other words, there's no economic bubble out there that's about to go "pop."
Recent economic reports confirm this: Factory production is strong. Core inflation has settled down. Excluding energy, consumer prices haven't moved all that much in the last three years. In the third quarter, real consumer spending is running 3.2 percent at an annual rate, ahead of the second quarter average. Non-defense capital-goods shipments (excluding aircraft) are 7.6 percent ahead of the second quarter. After-tax real disposable income is 5.4 percent higher than last year. And tax revenues are rolling in, with both states and the U.S. Treasury reporting record revenue collections.
Rising stocks, falling gas prices, low tax rates and the Goldilocks economy are powerful pluses for election-year Republicans. With so many indicators leaning positive, the Democrats aren't even talking about the economy anymore.
