Ummmmm... No. Sean, where are you? Who are your sources for the Osama bagged-and-tagged story?

This is one of the easiest "scoops" in the business. Let's take a completely unverifiable event, which has a wide-open window of divulsion for mass consumption, testify to certainty that it's true, tie in some further-unverified references to a foiled al Qaeda operation between Iran and Iraq, reported on by ONE person (Mansour Ijaz), jump to a completely unsubstantiated conclusion that enough intelligence was gleaned in order to corner and capture bin Laden, then run with it as a news flash.

I like Mansour Ijaz. I enjoy his "reports" on Fox, however, he also feverishly reported that we were within "hours" of capturing bin Laden according to his "unimpeachable" sources.

I've become extremely skeptical of the work of anyone who claims to "know" what's going on in the Middle East. I know that Ijaz has friends in high places in that region of the world ($$$ is power), but either he's getting bamboozled, or the intelligence services are okay with letting him divulge what he knows on worldwide television without compromising their unrelated, material efforts.

It doesn't jive. After all the internet postings, images, bulletin board messages, it's clear that NEIN and Jill St. Claire are getting completely hoodwinked, and in turn, so is everyone who looks at these "sources" as legitimate to the war on terror.

Last week, several British Airways flights were cancelled, yet again. This does not happen on a whim. Intelligence services had to have CONCRETE, MATERIAL -- yet again -- that was convincing enough for British Airways to flush millions upon millions of dollars down the drain without any protest from the British pilots' union, without any protest from British Parliament (charged with safeguarding the British economy)whatsoever.

I wish Sean could explain where their intelligence is being mined from, because it appears to me that these "intelligence" sites are akin to visiting the psychic who can impress you by telling you everything you already know about your childhood ("You had a mother... She loved you? Am I close?"), but couldn't predict two massive jets nearly destroying lower Manhattan.

A new alert regarding an IMMINENT terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia has been raised by international intelligence agencies...

This should be an urgent item on these sites. It's not.

Consider that.

A new alert regarding an IMMINENT terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia has been raised by international intelligence agencies...

On or about 12.26.2003 Sean stated unequivically that AQ was going to attempt to overthrow the Saudi government within the next 24 hours, and we had to let the Saudis know ASAP. The basis for his belief was something that EOM or Daleel wrote in a post on a BB that virtually no one reads. Sean was in a real panic over this. To the best of my knowledge, however, the House of Saud still stands. Yes, there have been terrorist incidents in the last seven weeks and I predict there will be more in the coming months and years. Don't ask for my source, just trust me on this: AQ will -- I repeat --- will -- commit one or more acts of terror in Saudi Arabia in the near future. How's that for going out on a limb?
