As Turkey presses the Obama administration to hand over a Pennsylvania-based cleric, claiming he spearheaded last months coup attempt, the Muslim nation's media is pointing an accusatory finger at a respected American academic -- and in a bizarre twist, an infamous San Quentin death-row inmate convicted of killing his wife.
I am stating this very clearly: The United States of America planned to directly murder Turkeys president and implemented this plan, said Ibrahim Karagul, editor-in-chief of a largely circulated pro-Erdogan newspaper, Yeni Safak.
Another widely circulated, pro-Erdogan newspaper, Aksam, used its front cover earlier this month to reveal purported details about the coup. It accused Henri Barkey, a respected Lehigh University professor, director of the Woodrow Wilson Center and renowned expert on Turkey, of having gathered a group of 16 people on an island called Buyukada, near Istanbul, on the day of the coup to hold a top secret meeting.
Barkey told FoxNews.com the allegations were ridiculous, but acknowledged holding the gathering to discuss the state of Iran. He said the meeting was planned more than six months in advance.
It is ridiculous, of course, Barkey said. Theres a conspiracy culture in Turkey that has taken over. I was taken aback, but you are dealing with journalists who are not journalists. They are hacks.
They just make things up, he said. And they describe incredibly detailed conspiracies. It is easy for them to do.
The claim that Peterson, who is on death row in San Quentin State Prison in California for the 2001 murder of his wife, was at the island gathering and has been assigned by the CIA to carry out assassinations in Turkey, underscores the bizarre nature of the media accusations.

We have Turkish distant relatives by marriage, both Moslem and Christian (an intermixed family, not uncommon there), and they are ALL trying to get out ASAP>.
He might be right. Maybe the Land of Fruits and Nuts should go ahead and execute their most celebrated murderer. Fifteen years is long enough. Lacy never got that consideration.
I knew that Scott Petersen was a bad, bad dude. /S
Turkey isn't the only place this is happening. (p.s.,Godspeed to your relatives!)
Clearly not. Hell, Washington let the AKP purge the Kemalists with the “Operation Sledgehammer” arrests.
That was when the Rubicon was crossed. The mess that happened just recently was a pathetic afterthought if it wasn’t an out right false flag.
Turkey’s lost,boys and girls.They’ve gone to the Dark Side (assuming they were ever on the Bright Side that is).
Quick, send Turkey crates of U.S. currency. Packed with one hundred dollars bills, if you please.
After all, that’s what passes for U.S. diplomacy these days.
Peterson again?
I say extradite him but only if Turkey promises to head chop him right away.
Billy Hayes’ Revenge.
I knew Scott had to be behind it! Bart Simpson was busy.
For several years the Shoebats have warned that Turkey would be at the center of evil and the revived Caliphate.
Some of the Shoebat End-Times predictions that once seemed far-fetched now seem a little closer.
I spent a lot of time on death row at San Quentin. I can assure those nut cases in Turkey, that Scott Peterson did not get out of San Quentin, so he could organize a coup. What nut cases. I wonder if they have a problem with inbreeding?

Now that is a great conspiracy!
Not sure about Bart, but OJ Simpson is leading the next hit team.
And Peterson had the perfect alibi!
I though it was Batboy!
“Quick, send Turkey crates of U.S. currency. Packed with one hundred dollars bills, if you please. After all, thats what passes for U.S. diplomacy these days.”
That has been the State department modus operendi for years. They think they can buy their way. It may work for the short term but always turns and bites you in the behind.

Thank you. Relatives are both physicians. He is Eastern Rite Roman catholic OBGYN. She is Moslem cardiologist. Both are board certified. Kids are great too.
The all call jihadi “The Crazies”.
Scott Peterson???? They might at least have picked OJ Simpson!! ok, I know his body is falling apart, but they might make a new “Naked Gun” movie with OJ as diabolical assassin.
