Did anyone hear the military analyst on Brit's show? He was discussing Monsoor Ijaz' story from last night, re: the 29/30 trucks in Iraq. I'm afraid I walked into the room just as he was concluding the discussion. I'll have to try to catch it later tonight. (I think the analyst was Gen. McInerny)

BTW, Steve Quayle (from Hagmann's HomelandSecurityUS. com site) will be on Coast to Coast tonight. I don't normally stay up that late, but if I drink a cup of coffee instead of the glass of Merlot, I may just make it.

Yes, I saw it. Brit was saying that government sources said that Mansoor's information 'was news to them' and precluded the interview with the General by saying 'let's say there are all those trucks in Iraq, what do you think' (paraphrase). The General said that 'within 15 minutes of the report being seen, the information was forwarded to Baghdad.' The General also said that it had the fingerprints of Al Q. (not Iraq or Iran forces) and that it made sense based on a lunch he had with a Kurdish rebel leader recently (had a strange mental image of what that 'lunching' might have consisted of - roasting something over a covert campfire, maybe...) Anyway...the whole interview seemed to validate MI info. rather than dismiss it...

I heard some of AF General Tom McInerney take on M. Ijaz...it seems some of the Kurds want their own country, their own independence, and they see destabilizing Baghdad (I think he used the changing paradigm analogy) as in that interest so it appears they took some major bribery and looked the other way to allow those trucks with the missles in. He also said (and I'm not quoting, just pulling from my understanding) that this was big news that broke yesterday because our side learned it as Monsoor spoke on Fox.

Yesterday I was very puzzled as I thought the region they entered through had long been in the no fly zone and under our control through the kurdish rebels. I'm no longer puzzled, now I'm angry.
