The fact that the US news has not covered this at all leads me to
believe that there might be something to it. If it were clearly a
fake, then then 'Countdown Iraq', 'Showdown with Saddam', or any of
Fox News' pundits would be trotting it out to discredit those
'anti-american peacenicks'; "Oh, look at the lengths these
extremists will go to in attacking America!" kind of a thing. I am
not sure that I heard it on this thread, but someone likened US
coverage of this as a 'black hole'. I find that when a story breaks
that challenges the establishment's benevolent facade, and there is
a 'black hole' surrounding it, there is usually somthing to it.
Otherwise it would be atacked vigorously by those
pro-establishment. It will be interesting to see where this story
goes in the next week.
I wonder how many Americans are as comfortable with intelligence
operations that are conducted against the US as they are with the
ones that we conduct. I would wager that most people that have a
ho-hum reaction to US spying would have a visceral passionate
reaction to this occurring at, say, the Hague, by the French or
Germans.
Just a couple of thoughts.
