The Bohemian grove is where elites like Bush and his fater go to engage in Homosecual activity and pagan rights, and discuss one worl government.

MILAN — A few days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the CIA station chief in Rome paid a visit to the head of Italy’s military intelligence agency, Adm. Gianfranco Battelli, to float a proposal: Would the Italian secret services help the CIA kidnap terrorism suspects and fly them out of the country?

The CIA man did not identify which targets he had in mind but was “expressly referring to the possibility of picking up a suspected terrorist in Italy, bringing him to an airport and sending him from there to a foreign country,” Battelli, now retired, recalled in a deposition.

This initial secret contact and others that followed, disclosed in newly released documents, show the speed and breadth with which the CIA applied in post-9/11 Europe a tactic it had long reserved for the Third World — “extraordinary rendition,” the extrajudicial abduction of Islamic radicals overseas for interrogation in friendly countries.

Father says dissident’s death was ‘a calculated act of intimidation’

The father of the former KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko has accused President Vladimir Putin of ordering his murder, claiming that no one else in Russia would have the authority to sanction an assassination on foreign soil.

In his first interview since his son’s death, Walter Litvinenko, who served as a doctor in the Gulag during the Communist years, said he was convinced that Alexander was poisoned by the FSB - the successor to the KGB. “The cynical murder of my son was a calculated act of intimidation,” he said. “I have no doubt that he was killed by the FSB, and that the order came from that former KGB spy President Putin. He was the only person who could give that order. I haven’t a shadow of a doubt that this was done by Putin’s men.” (more…)

For a U.S. military increasingly dependent on sophisticated satellites for communicating, gathering intelligence and guiding missiles, the possibility that those space-based systems could come under attack has become a growing worry — and the perceived need to defend them ever more urgent. And that, in turn, is reviving fears in some quarters that humanity’s conflicts could soon spread beyond Earth’s boundaries.

In a speech last week, a senior Bush administration official warned that other nations, and possibly terrorist groups, are “acquiring capabilities to counter, attack and defeat U.S. space systems.” As a result, he said, the United States must increase its ability to protect vital space equipment with new technologies and policies.

North Korea, a reclusive Stalinist nation that cannot feed its people or power many of its factories, has striven for decades to develop nuclear weapons.
The country whose ideology is “juche”, or self-reliance, has depended on food aid for much of the past decade to feed many of its 23 million people. Hundreds of people died in a famine that started in 1995 and went on for years.

Refugee aid group Helping Hands Korea has warned that North Koreans may again face famine this winter as disenchanted international donors cut back on aid after missile tests in July and a nuclear test on October 9.

South Korea suspended regular rice and fertiliser aid shipments after the missile tests and continued the suspension after the nuclear detonation. (more…)

SAN FRANCISCO — Federal agents continue to eavesdrop on Americans’ electronic communications without warrants a year after President Bush confirmed the practice, and experts say a new Congress’ efforts to limit the program could trigger a constitutional showdown.

High-ranking Democrats set to take control of both chambers are mulling ways to curb the program Bush secretly authorized a month after the Sept. 11 attacks. The White House argues the Constitution gives the president wartime powers to eavesdrop that he wouldn’t have during times of peace.

“As a practical matter, the president can do whatever he wants as long as he has the capacity and executive branch officials to do it,” said Carl Tobias, a legal scholar at the University of Richmond in Virginia.

Lawmakers could impeach or withhold funding, or quash judicial nominations, among other measures. (more…)

India’s top nuclear scientists have repeated their fears that a landmark nuclear deal with the United States will place limitations on the country’s weapons programme, the media reported Saturday.

The deal allows the export of nuclear fuel and technology to energy-hungry India for the first time since it first tested a nuclear device in 1974. US President George W. Bush is expected to sign the accord on Monday.

But the scientists said the final version of the bill, which reconciled versions of the legislation approved by the US House of Representatives and Senate, contained clauses that India had previously objected to.

“The act makes it explicit that if India conducts such tests, the nuclear cooperation will be terminated,” the scientists said in a statement published by the Asian Age newspaper. (more…)

The head of MI5 has resigned weeks before full details of the role of her agents in a surveillance operation involving two of the July 7 bombers are due to be revealed.

Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller, whose organisation has been at the forefront of the war on terror, is leaving after more than four years as director general.

Dame Eliza, 58, said the date of her departure after 33 years with the security service had been agreed with the former Home Secretary Charles Clarke, who was sacked in May. (more…)

Downing Street brushed aside calls from Sir John Major for a full inquiry into the Iraq war after a former British diplomat revealed that the Government had not believed that Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction (WMD) posed a threat to the UK.

Sir John backed an investigation after the publication of evidence submitted to the Butler inquiry into Iraq by Carne Ross, Britain’s former First Secretary at the United Nations.

Mr Ross’s damning three-page testimony raises fresh questions about Tony Blair’s justification for the war and states that there had been “no intelligence evidence” that Saddam had chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. He added that British officials had repeatedly warned the US that the dictator’s overthrow would trigger “chaos”. (more…)

“Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it looks,” President Bush reportedly told a friend depressed by the ongoing “unpopular” war and GOP woes, according to an article in Sunday’s Washington Post.

“For a man who presides over an unpopular war, just lost Congress and faces a final two years with constrained options, Bush gives little sign of self-pity,” Peter Baker writes.

The analysis, entitled “Stubborn or Stalwart, Bush Is Loath to Budge,” examines the following questions: “At what point does determination to a cause become self-defeating folly? Can he change direction in a meaningful way without sacrificing principle?” (more…)

Many business travelers prefer to sit in an aisle seat. Many also prefer to sit near the front of the plane so they may be among the first off when the plane lands.

Those also happen to be seats that might be desirable for terrorists bent on hijacking an airplane.

That common seat preference shared by business fliers and violent extremists could be earning innocent passengers additional scrutiny as they cross the U.S. border.

Last month, in a little-noticed filing buried deep in the Federal Register and first reported by the Associated Press, the Department of Homeland Security revealed that for several years, it had been using a so-called Automated Targeting System to screen passengers entering and leaving the United States.

GUANTÁNAMO BAY, Cuba — As the first detainees began moving last week into Guantánamo’s modern, new detention facility, Camp 6, the military guard commander stood beneath the high, concrete walls of the compound, looking out on a fenced-in athletic yard.

The yard, where the detainees were to have played soccer and other sports, had been part of a plan to ease the conditions under which more than 400 men are imprisoned here, nearly all of them without having been charged. But that plan has changed.

“At this point, I just don’t see using that,” the guard commander, Col. Wade F. Dennis, said.

After two years in which the military sought to manage terrorism suspects at Guantánamo with incentives for good behavior, steady improvements in their living conditions and even dialogue with prison leaders, the authorities here have clamped down decisively in recent months. (more…)
