Iran denies that any confrontation took place between Iranian boats and a US vessel in the Gulf, a source in the naval force of the Revolutionary Guards told state-run Al-Alam television Friday.

A US defence official said earlier Friday a vessel chartered by the US military fired warning shots Thursday morning at two speedboats believed to be Iranian that approached it in the Gulf.

Agreement aims to provide answers about alleged weapons development

The Associated Press

updated 6:54 a.m. MT, Wed., April. 23, 2008

VIENNA, Austria - The U.N. nuclear monitoring agency on Wednesday announced a "milestone" agreement with Iran that aims to provide answers about allegations Tehran tried to develop nuclear weapons under cover of a peaceful atomic program.

International Atomic Energy Agency spokeswoman Melissa Fleming divulged no details in a brief statement about the deal. But IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei called the agreement "a milestone" that — if successful — should signal the end of his organization's years of attempts to probe Tehran's secretive nuclear program.

"An agreement was reached during the meetings in Tehran on a process that aims to clarify the so-called alleged (nuclear weapons) studies during the month of May," Fleming said in a statement from the Vienna-based agency. She was alluding to talks Monday and Tuesday between senior Iranian officials and IAEA Deputy Director General Olli Heinonen.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Bush administration's release of a dossier on illicit nuclear cooperation between U.S. adversaries North Korea and Syria comes at a critical time in U.S. nuclear diplomacy and feeds into U.S. foreign policy aims. Some questions and answers, beginning with one that recalls the administration's public certainty that Saddam Hussein was amassing weapons of mass destruction in Iraq:

Q. Why should the world believe the White House?

A: The Bush administration has a spotty record when it comes to keeping tabs on nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs inside closed nations. In this case, it is laying out evidence both to Congress and to the United Nations nuclear watchdog agency, which will be asked to investigate.

U.S. assumptions were wrong about prewar Iraq, although the administration says much of the rest of the world also thought Saddam had more dangerous weaponry than he turned out to have.

The administration scaled back its claims about Iran's nuclear program last year, adding to questions about the strength of weapons intelligence. The administration once claimed Iran was driving toward a bomb but now says the clerical regime probably shelved a weapons program years ago. The administration says that program could be restarted and Iran remains a looming threat.

The administration was apparently right on North Korea. U.S. intelligence pegged North Korean nuclear weapons ambitions years before Pyongyang tested a plutonium device in 2006, and also apparently correctly identified a separate smaller program to enrich uranium for weapons. U.S. intelligence thinks the uranium program is defunct.

Q: What evidence did the United States present to members of Congress?

No, it isn't. The reactor at Yongbyon has a very obvious cooling tower. No such cooling system appears in the photos we have been shown of the Syrian site.

CIA to describe North Korea-Syria nuclear ties

By Paul Richter and Greg Miller

Los Angeles Times Staff Writers

April 23, 2008

WASHINGTON — CIA officials will tell Congress on Thursday that North Korea had been helping Syria build a plutonium-based nuclear reactor, a U.S. official said, a disclosure that could touch off new resistance to the administration's plan to ease sanctions on Pyongyang.

The CIA officials will tell lawmakers that they believe the reactor would have been capable of producing plutonium for nuclear weapons but was destroyed before it could do so, the U.S. official said, apparently referring to a suspicious installation in Syria that was bombed last year by Israeli warplanes.

The CIA officials also will say that though U.S. officials have had concerns for years about ties between North Korea and Syria, it was not until last year that new intelligence convinced them that the suspicious facility under construction in a remote area of Syria was a nuclear reactor, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity when discussing plans for the briefing.

By holding closed, classified briefings for members of several congressional committees, the administration will break a long silence on North Korean-Syrian nuclear cooperation and on what it knows about last year's destruction of the Syrian facility. Nonetheless, it has been widely assumed for months that many in the administration considered the site a nuclear installation.

Israeli ex-soldiers expose abuse of Palestinians

In a report this week, 39 soldiers give eyewitness accounts from their patrols in and around the West Bank city of Hebron.

from the April 25, 2008 edition

Reporter Ilene Prusher discusses a report detailing alledged abuse against Palestinians by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank town of Hebron.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL - Doron Efrati was assigned to the Kfir Brigade, part of an infantry battalion that was especially created to serve in the West Bank following the outbreak of the second intifada.

He figured if he was going to be drafted anyway, he would agree to serve in the Israeli-occupied territories, "to see what really happens, and maybe to change things," he says. "But I didn't succeed."

Today, he is one of 39 recently discharged soldiers whose testimonies are part of a grim new report on the situation in the West Bank city of Hebron, where the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) oversee a volatile population of 700 to 800 Jewish settlers living amid nearly 170,000 Palestinians. The 118-page report, which tells of systematic mistreatment of local Palestinians by both soldiers and settlers, was released during this week's Passover holiday.

Presidential Candidates Befuddled By the Theft of US Secrets: Marc Grossman

Sibel Edmonds has told her story (that Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Marc Grossman and Eric Edelman are involved in treasonous activity) to the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Key Clinton Backer Guilty in Sibel Edmonds Case : The Vanity Fair article identifies a number of different mechanisms for bribing these Congressmen, and the bribes appear to come from three separate, yet overlapping, groups. In an article in 2006, I attempted to categorize these groups: The first group is a criminal element of the Military Industrial Complex, represented primarily by Richard Perle, Doug Feith and Marc Grossman among others - generally using AIPAC and the American Turkish Council as front organizations.

The #3 guy at the State Dept [Marc Grossman] facilitated the immediate release of 911 suspects at the request of targets of the FBI's investigation.

Is Marc Grossman 'Mega'?

Friday, April 25, 2008

We have no evidence whatsoever, but Grossman was a senior American diplomatic official spanning both Democrat and Republican administrations. Sibel Edmonds may be proven right in the long run. By the way, the Philip Giraldi story, that the latest Israeli spy case was discovered as a result of a leak from the Israeli government (!), is quite obvious bullshit - professional courtesy from the CIA to the Mossad? - proven by the fact that the supposed reason for the leak, derailing the disinfo campaign against Syria regarding a Syrian nuke program, can't be true, as the disinfo campaign continues at full speed. Giraldi (my emphasis in red):

"Israeli sources are reporting that the FBI investigation of the Ben-Ami Kadish spy case resulted from a leak coming from inside the government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. The information on Kadish and on a number of other Americans who have spied for Israel was provided to the FBI anonymously, leading to the Bureau’s opening of a full investigation. One source reports that the National Security Agency was provided with Yosef Yagur’s current phone number and address and was able to obtain corroborating information on the case by tapping the phone. Yagur, who is now retired and living in Israel, was Kadish’s case officer, handling the cases of both him and Jonathan Pollard. Before the anonymous leak of information, the FBI had no idea that Kadish had been a spy for Israel. Now it is investigating a number of US citizens, including an individual who held very senior security positions in the Clinton and Bush White Houses."

This is questionable. The grand jury investigation, the source of the story, started in 2005. Olmert didn't start leading the Israeli government until 2006! How could Olmert's leak have lead to the opening of the investigation, which arose out of the grand jury investigation? Why would the Olmert government, with full access to the Jew-controlled American media, be trying to get the information out by leaking it to a secret grand jury investigation, the most convoluted way possible, and one not guaranteed of success? Another aside: there appears to be disinfo floating around that the FBI tapped

Yagur's

phone. How is that possible? Yagur has been living in Israel for years. Isn't it far more likely that the FBI overheard the conversation when they tapped Kadish's American phone? Watch out for a huge campaign of Zionist spin around this story, which really is deeply frightening to World Jewry.

There are a lot of shenanigans going on from the Zionists:

Israeli soldiers do not shoot at children

By Aya Kaniuk. Translated by Tal Haran.

Israeli soldiers do not shoot children, said the manageress of a shop where I worked. But I have seen this, I told her. And once they murdered a child right in front of my very eyes, shot him with a live bullet to the neck.

No, she said, don’t say murder. And she did not agree and she could not accept this, for she knows. For her sons have served in the army, and her spouse. For Israelis do not shoot children.
But they did shoot. Omar Matar, fourteen-years old, from Qalandiya refugee camp. I was standing right there and saw the soldiers chase the children as these were running away, and they sniped away at them like hunters’ prey. And I saw how he fell, bleeding.

It has been said that the devil himself cannot think up a proper revenge for the blood of a small child. A heart-rending saying, for it is true. The face of a child, the age of a child, the essence of a child is the one thing that crosses all conflicts and borders and races. One does not kill children. Nothing is more normative than that. A child is blameless. A child is a child is a child.

Not in Israel.

VILLAGE MAGAZINE
Thursday, 24th April

The state of Israel came into existence 60 years ago on 14 May 1948. In the months before and after this declaration, Jewish forces drove around 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. Over 500 villages were emptied of their Palestinian population and most of them were destroyed so that those expelled had no homes to which to return.

Anybody who doubts that ethnic cleansing took place on this scale should read The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Israeli historian, Ilan Pappe. In it, he describes Plan Dalet (D in Hebrew), which set out the areas to be cleansed and the methods to be employed by Zionist forces in carrying out the cleansing. Here is a sample of the latter:

"These operations can be carried out in the following manner: either by destroying villages (by setting fire to them, by blowing them up, and by planting mines in their debris) and especially of those population centres, which are difficult to control continuously; or by mounting combing and control operations according to the following guidelines: encirclement of the villages, conducting a search inside them. In case of resistance, the armed forces must be wiped out and the population expelled outside the borders of the state."

The plan was approved by the Zionist leadership on 10 March 1948, and put into operation immediately.

Presidential Candidates’ Views on Israel and Palestine: Same Old, Same Old

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, April 2008, pages 30-31

Election Watch

By Delinda C. Hanley

Analysts from the American Jewish Committee and other Jewish organizations and newspapers, including the Forward, the Jerusalem Post, Haaretz and Ma’ariv, have used a lot of ink debating which presidential candidate would be best for Israel. Each of the remaining candidates in the race have taken great pains to assure voters that they are pro-Israel. Apparently they believe that an “even-handed” candidate is still unelectable in the United States, so the subject doesn’t even surface in the debates.

Major candidates in both U.S. parties  have similar views on the Arab-Israeli conflict, stressing their commitment to defending Israel’s right to exist and calling on the Palestinians to renounce terrorism. But each candidate must know in his or her heart that an American president who is a true friend to Israel will need to press the Jewish state to reach an equitable peace with the Palestinians. Most candidates must realize that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict lies at the core of every conflict in the region.

The Council on Foreign Relations <www.cfr.org> has an up-to-date issue tracker for each candidate. Here’s what the Council says about the candidates’ views on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, as last updated on Jan. 9, 2008.
