From NY Transfer, the Havana-loyalist website of NY...
On Mar. 31, Deputy Defense Secretary John Deutch--Clinton's nominee to head the CIA--announced a sweeping investigation into the US military's activities in Guatemala from the early 1980s to the present and promised "to hold people accountable for their conduct" if wrongdoing is uncovered. The Defense Department's Guatemala Review Panel will be co-chaired by Pentagon General Counsel Judith Miller and newly appointed Inspector General Eleanor Hill; it will look into "every bit of information that we have on all Department of Defense activities," according to Deutch, including counter-narcotics operations. Cocaine transshipment through Guatemala is a serious problem, according to the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and joint US/Guatemalan interdiction and eradication programs involve at least 200 Guatemalan Treasury Police, including air assault units.

Inquiry Reveals WTC Threat in 1998
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. congressional hearing was told on Wednesday that three years before the Sept. 11 attacks intelligence agencies had information about a group that planned to fly an explosives-laden plane from a foreign country into the World Trade Center. The information obtained in August 1998 about the group of 'unidentified Arabs' was passed to the FBI and the Federal Aviation Administration, but 'the FAA found the plot highly unlikely given the state of that foreign country's aviation program,' said Eleanor Hill, staff director of the joint Sept. 11 inquiry of the House and Senate intelligence committees.

Attention FOX NEWS, attention.
The previous inspector general, Eleanor J. Hill, was selected by President Bill Clinton in 1995. Hill served until 1999 and left a controversial legacy [see "Controversial Staffer Clouds 9/11 Probe," Aug. 5] that included charges by the Air Force and senior civilian-defense officials that she covered up the Clinton administration's involvement in decontrolling weapons-technology transfers to the People's Republic of China.
