"In a missive submitted to a U.S. Senate subcommittee in February, Emerson stated that a federal lawman and other authorities in 1995 told him 'radical Islamic fundamentalists had been assigned to carry out an assassination of me. An actual hit team had been dispatched...' Emerson claimed the authorities said he could probably 'get permission to enter the Witness Security Program' "After I sent Emerson's document to the Justice Department's Terrorism and Violent Crimes Section, this on-the-record response was made by spokesman John Russell on May 5.
"'You pushed the right button asking about your friend Steve Emerson,' Russell said. 'We've never given any thought to putting him in the witness protection program.' Is there any truth to the allegation of an assassination team? 'No, none at all,' Russell responded."

'"He's poison," says investigative author Seymour Hersh, when asked about how Emerson is perceived by fellow journalists.'
Well, that answers everything!
(But thanks for the link.)
I only pinged Fred to this thread because I thought I'd get flack about it being such an "old" article.
Glad to see you all found it interesting enough to still read...even after all these years.
RS, I'll check out your links when I get home this afternoon.
Gondring says..."Close to Mecca" would be seen as a miracle...
Some of us do believe in miracles!
Fred Nerks says
"We can make earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, can't we"?
Fred, we KNOW President Bush can control hurricanes, so maybe your theory IS possible. I bet that has been Rove's plan all along!
Wait until the ENEMEDIA gets this "leak"!
