U.S. not backing Israel's demand for terror suspects |
U.S. State Department officials restated their demand for a complete Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank, adding that they do not support Israeli demands for surrender of Palestinians wanted for their involvement in terrorist activities. Spokesman Richard Boucher said the wanted terrorists were under Palestinian jurisdiction, and Israel and the Palestinians would have to work together to resolve the issue. |
Israel has been working, to resolve the issue; with the only diplomacy Palis understand--power, violence, death. (Note another thread tells of Pali "show trials" for terrorists, now underway).
Counterterrorism Expert May Be VictimIn an apparent tragic twist of fate, a former FBI counterterrorism expert who led the investigation of the attack on the USS Cole may have been among those killed at the twin towers.
John O'Neill had recently taken a job as head of security for the WTC. O'Neill was the lead investigator in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, as well as the attack on the Cole, in October 2000.
He had left Yemen, the site of the Cole attack, because officials feared he could have been a terrorism target himself.
O'Neill had not been heard from since Tuesday morning.

This is from September 13, 2001. Has anyone else caught this? Is this a mere coincidence...yet another of so many?
Israel can't really complain either. The country has a history of harboring criminals if they are the right criminals.
Does the State Dept. have it in for the US, President Bush, or both?
"Yassir, This is Colin Powell, back from my Terrorist Appeasement Tour,
and I'm sending William Burns and other State Dept. proterrorists to save you."

I think they have been working together quite nicely over the last two weeks.
We had a thread about that here. According to #59, his body was found in the debris. Of course, we all know how accurate the media is...
