NYT and IAEA slam Bush in pre-election meaneuver



Not for the first time, the IAEA is teaming up with the New York Times to embarrass Bush on the even of an election. I seem to recall that the International Atomic Energy Agency (a United Nations Agency known by the acronymn “IAEA”) had previously tried an election eve gambit (also with the cooperation of the NYT) . Specifically, the IAEA claimed that negligence on the part of the US led to the looting of tons of high explosive in Iraq. Supposedly, under US guard, these explosives had gone missing. The Pentagon was later able to deflate this “expose” by showing that the Hussein regime had already moved this stockpile of explosives before the invasion by coalition forces. Back then, the UN was accused of meddling in the US Presidential election; now it and its partner The New York Times is once again attempting to influence American elections by casting aspersions on the competency of a Republican Administration.

U.S. Web Archive Is Said to Reveal a Nuclear Guide

By WILLIAM J. BROAD

Last March, the federal government set up a Web site to make public a vast archive of Iraqi documents captured during the war. The Bush administration did so under pressure from Congressional Republicans who said they hoped to “leverage the Internet” to find new evidence of the prewar dangers posed by Saddam Hussein.

But in recent weeks, the site has posted some documents that weapons experts say are a danger themselves: detailed accounts of Iraq’s secret nuclear research before the 1991 Persian Gulf war. The documents, the experts say, constitute a basic guide to building an atom bomb.

Last night, the government shut down the Web site after The New York Times asked about complaints from weapons experts and arms-control officials. A spokesman for the director of national intelligence said access to the site had been suspended “pending a review to ensure its content is appropriate for public viewing.”

Certainly there’s no love lost beween the Bush Administration and Mohammed El-Baradei, the feckless leader of the IAEA, that the Administration had hoped to replace after his term expired. The New York Times, true to form, has used its franchise for partisan purposes.

"before the 1991 Persian Gulf war"

If it was before the 1991 Persian Gulf War then the IAEA didn't do their jobs for at least 7 years and destroy the information. The docs that have been translated go up to 2003 from what I've seen.

I bet those folks on the take in the UN Oil for Food Program are glad to see the web site shut down, too. Don't think this can only be about nukes.

The leftists want nothing more than to shut this website down because those docs lead to way more than nukes- and we know from past experience they aren't concerned about nuke tech getting out since the days of the Rosenbergs, much less Hazel O'Leary. The NY Times' slogan is "Our Loose Lips Thrive on Sinking Ships" after all. The Dems will be out tomorrow demanding it be permanently shut down 'for security' concerns when they are really concerned about their own greed getting exposed, and if the oil vouchers and gifts went to the US press as it did to reporters elswhere in the world, then the US press must shut down. They can't filter this info if the stuff is getting translated by Americans and released directly; they can't make up docs and claim they're in the database if we can check the database. The Dems and the press won't be filing FOIA requests for this material you can be sure.

So the IAEA has tampered with both the 2004 and 2006 elections. That pisses me off, especially since most employees of the IAEA are not Americans.

We all need to email the IAEA and tell them to keep their grubby hands off of our elections.

Email address: Official.Mail@iaea.org

Here's part of an article on their 2004 effort:

This was the week of the October [2004] surprise: a trumped up story about 380 tons of high explosives missing from Iraq's al Qaqaa defense installation. Patently timed to swing the election against President Bush, the tale allowed for only two possibilities. The globe's version of events, supplied by the International Atomic Energy Agency, held that IAEA had carefully inspected the facility and accounted for 380 tons of powerful RDX and HMX explosives in March 2003, the explosives were now missing, and this cache could only be missing due to gross negligence by the U.S. military in failing to safeguard it from post-invasion looting.
