Deals with Taliban could be dangerous
Idea of dealing with moderate Taliban is gaining more support
Mon, March 9th, 2009 @ 6:19pm
Peter Bergen says deals with the Taliban could further destabilize the situation in Afghanistan.
(CNN) — It is a longstanding cliché that there is no military solution in Afghanistan, only a political one.
Linked to this is the newer, related notion, rapidly becoming a cliché, that the United States should start making deals with elements of the “reconcilable” Taliban.
As with many clichés, there is some truth to both these notions, but neither of these comforting ideas are a substitute for a strategy that is connected to what is happening on the ground in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Shocker: Obama’s National Intelligence Council Head Thinks 9/11 Was Our Fault

Charles "Chas" Freeman
Our fault, because we help the Jews. Chas Freeman, who if appointed will be in charge of assembling the famous National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) that the President reads each day to remain informed about the threats to this nation, believes that 9/11 wouldn’t have happened if we hadn’t provoked it.
Al-Marri Attorney: It’s The Constitution
CBS Evening News: ACLU Lawyer Talks About Client, Held For More Than Three Years Without Charge
Sun, March 1st, 2009 @ 5:52pm
Pres. Obama overturned a controversial policy allowing suspected Al-Qaeda operatives to be held indefinitely on U.S. soil. On Friday, Ali Al-Marri was charged for allegedly providing support to a terrorist organization.
A day after his most prominent client was indicted for terrorism offenses, Jonathan Hafetz was unusually gleeful for a defense attorney.
“This is an important step in restoring rule of law in America,” Hafetz told CBS News at his Manhattan office at the American Civil Liberties Union. “He will finally get his day in court.
Hafetz’s attitude stems from the unique circumstances of the case against Ali al-Marri, 43, an alleged al Qaeda operative from Qatar who has spent the past five-and-half years in solitary confinement in the U.S. naval brig in Charleston, S.C., without any charges levied against him.
Kuwaiti prof: 330,000 dead from 4 pounds of anthrax
Outlines potential White House attack that would make 9/11 'small change'
Thu, February 26th, 2009 @ 4:19am
A professor from Kuwait, the country liberated from Saddam Hussein’s attack squads by the United States in the first Gulf War, has outlined on Arab television a potential terror attack that would involve smuggling anthrax from Mexico into the U.S. and killing 330,000 people in 60 minutes.
The plan was described by Abdallah Al-Nafisi in a speech that aired on Al-Jazeera television Feb. 2, according to MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute, an independent nonprofit that provides translations and analysis of media reports.
Al-Nafisi, whose school affiliation was not identified, says: “Four pounds of anthrax – in a suitcase this big – carried by a fighter through tunnels from Mexico into the U.S., are guaranteed to kill 330,000 Americans within a single hour, if it is properly spread in population centers there.”
