Nigerian man with fake ID arrested at Camp Zama

Nigerian man with fake ID arrested at Camp Zama
By Juliana Gittler and Hana Kusumoto, Stars and Stripes Pacific edition, Friday, December 16, 2005
Japanese police on Tuesday arrested a Nigerian man whom they accused of using a forged dependent military ID card to unlawfully attempt to enter Camp Zama in November.
Kanagawa Prefectural Police arrested Aisowieren Friday, 31, who listed no permanent address. They accused him of trying to enter the Army post at 5:40 p.m. Nov. 3, using a forged document.
Police said they were uncertain if Friday is the mans real name, a spokesman said Wednesday.
Edward Roper, spokesman for U.S. Army Garrison Japan, said, The army considers force protection a very serious issue and were glad that our force protection measures are working.
According to an official from the Kanagawa police international investigation division, Friday showed guards his ID card at Gate 4, the pedestrian gate. When the guards inspected the ID more closely, the man ran off, the official said.
The gate guards confirmed the photo on the ID was of the man whod tried to enter. Base personnel contacted Kanagawa police, who used the card to begin searching for the man.
Police later found and questioned a Japanese woman who encouraged Friday to turn himself in, the Kanagawa official said. Police would not say how they found the woman, believed to be a friend of Fridays.
Friday turned himself in Tuesday before noon, the official said. He told police he wanted to shop on base and had bought the forged card from a Chinese person in Shibuya, police said.
The official said the police worked closely with the base during the investigation.
Roper said he could not comment further on the investigation as of press time.
Kanagawa police said they planned to send the case to the Yokohama prosecutors office on Thursday. The Nigerian remained in police custody on Wednesday.

Our "friends" in the Jackal Pack Press are spinning, obfuscating, and covering up, as usual.
FOX News is just now reporting the "report" of the new Usama Bin Laden video. No verification yet.
You were first!
Same old thing, huh?
Yep.
THANKS for creating that list, backhoe.
You're welcome Cindy.

Granny did you get into that google you sent me or is it old info...
I didn't know the following...
At the very same time the Niger forgery showed up, Frances Foreign Minister, Dominique de Villepin, was sand bagging Secretary Powell at the UN by pretending to support American efforts against Saddam even as he got ready to pull out the rug in a surprise press conference. Reporter Kenneth Timmerman told Brit Hume for FoxNews that:
Our administration thought that the French were with us, that French had dispatched their top general to Centcom, Chirac had promised the president (to support the United States against Saddam). Villepin the foreign minister had promised Powell. They said they were with us, and they werent. ...
So then de Villepin goes outside at noontime. ... Powell is actually watching Fox News
as de Villepin goes on TV
And thats when he announces to the world that France will never ever support the use of force against Saddam Hussein. ... Powells jaw dropped to the floor
.
It was a carefully planned ambush. Timmerman summed it up by saying that
Chirac lied to the president of the United States, and then he ordered his Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin to do the same thing with Colin Powell.
And then, they pulled the plug.
De Villepins ambush triggered a giant anti-American firestorm in Europe and around the world. Germans, French, Brits and Swedes were foaming at the mouth for months and months. France was therefore extremely successful in discrediting American policy against Saddam.
But that was not enough, because Saddam was quickly knocked over by the US-led coalition forces. Somehow the media fires had to be kept alive. The Bush lied us into war slogan had to be kept going in the minds of the public
Sorry wrong info we did know thw above...
The following is what I missed...
Enter our hero, Joseph C. Wilson, from stage left. The French forgery about Niger led straight to Wilsons bogus trip to Africa. Wilson supposedly went there to find out the truth for the CIA. But every government involved already knew the truth about the bogus document, because it showed incorrect names of Niger officials. A single telephone call to Niger would have established that fact.
The reason why Wilson had to travel to Niger in person to investigate, while drinking mint tea with his uranium mining friends, was to establish his bona fides to make him an instant expert witness on Saddams dealings with Niger. Did French intelligence urge Wilson to make his trip and enlist his wife Valerie to propose him? Without that trip, Joseph C. Wilson had no special claim to any expertise about Saddams weapons. It was Valerie Plame who was the CIA WMD expert, but it was Wilson who became the front man.
Notice that the modus operandi for the Wilson trip was much the same as for the Niger forgery: a classic con game. Find a sucker, tell him what he wants to hear, and use that credulous embrance by the mark to destroy your enemy. In the first case the sucker was Colin Powell. In the second case it was the New York Times Op-Ed page. In both cases the enemy to be shafted was George W. Bush and the administration. This is how disinformation is supposed to work.
Joseph Wilson had intimate French connections for many years before his mint tea-sipping journey to Niger. In fact, he met his first wife at the French Embassy in Washington. His second wife, Jacqueline, to whom he was still married when he took up with Valerie Plame, was a former French diplomat. There is even a report that she was a cultural attaché in Francophone Africa, a post often used as cover for intelligence operatives, though this remains quite a murky point, as tradecraft suggests it should.
Today Wilson claims to be a business agent for African mining companies. But Nigers mines are owned by a French consortium, which operates cheek-by-jowl with the Quai dOrsay. Niger itself is a semi-colony of France. No uranium sales go on there without the full knowledge and consent of the French government. Valerie Plame was quoted in a CIA memo as saying that my husband has good relations with both the PM [prime minister] and the former Minister of Mines (not to mention lots of French contacts)... Lots of French contacts, indeed.
Wilson exploded into public view, and spent two years barnstorming around the country, giving outraged speeches to publicize the idea that he had found the smoking gun to prove Bush had lied. Moveon.org and their friends were happy to believe him.

"Israel fears it is Zarqawi's next target"
UPI ^ | Dec 15 2005 | MARTIN WALKER
Posted on 12/15/2005 2:27:31 PM PST by jmc1969
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the jihadist terrorist leader in Iraq, is preparing bases and logistics to extend his campaign against Jordan and Israel, a top Israeli policy adviser has warned: a clear sign that senior Israelis now judge that the U.S. war in Iraq has not made Israel any safer.
"It would be a cardinal error for Israel to conclude that after the U.S. war in Iraq, the region to Israel's east is moving in the direction of greater stability and, therefore, Israel can take the risk of conceding its strategic assets in the West Bank," claims Ambassador Dore Gold in a new policy paper just published by Israel's Institute for Contemporary Affairs.
"Were Israel to withdraw from the strategic barrier it controls in the Jordan Valley, then Israeli vulnerability could very well attract more global jihadi elements to Jordan, who would seek to use the kingdom as a platform to reach the West Bank and then Israel," Gold continues.
"Zarqawi now wants to destabilize Jordan, but clearly seeks to target Israel as well," Gold adds. "Dismissing the value of Israel's security fence, Zarqawi's organization has declared: 'the separation wall...will feel the might of the mujahidin,' hinting that Israel could face the same waves of insurgent volunteers that have entered Iraq'."
Gold, a former Israeli Ambassador to the United nations and close adviser to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, claims that al-Qaida and its jihadist allies are moving ever closer to Israel."

Iranian banking woes
Italian court orders Iran asset freeze:
A court in Italy has ordered the freezing of an Iranian government account held in a Rome bank in what lawyers say represents an unprecedented legal victory for three US families seeking compensation from Iran for its alleged support of Palestinian suicide bombings that killed their relatives.
Lawyers and activists in Washington said their success in Italy was likely to be followed by similar cases against Iran in other courts in Europe and possibly Asia. The ruling could also open the floodgates to similar civil cases against the Islamic regime and other states accused by the US of sponsoring terror.
A civil court in Rome ordered Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (BNL) last week to freeze an account held by the Iranian government, drawing diplomatic protests from Tehran on the basis that Iran's official accounts were protected by the Vienna Convention governing diplomatic relations.

Jesse Jackson and Mike Farrell stood behind the podium waiting to speak, guarded by the "Fruit of Islam," the Nation of Islam's paramilitary wing.
That paragraph alone speaks volumes about the "save Tookie" crowd. Prayers outgoing for the families of his victims.
Snip: COEUR D'ALENE - Two separate bomb threats forced the evacuation of the Federal courthouse and Kootenai County courthouse in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Thursday morning. Coeur d'Alene Police also investigated a third bomb threat called into the Kootenai County Jail. Police searched the building and did not find a bomb. The jail was not evacuated.
The Kootenai County, Idaho Justice Building was one of the three public buildings targeted by a caller with a bomb threat Thursday morning.

Australia: Judge back silence on cleric deport
Interesting legal development in Australia. Of course it makes sense for national security reasons: there may be others involved, ongoing investigations, etc. But there will be civil rights protests without any doubt. From AAP, with thanks to Dale:
A LEADING Muslim cleric may never find out why he is being deported after a judge today ruled ASIO does not have to disclose why it considers him a threat to Australia's security.
Iranian-born Sheikh Mansour Leghaei, 43, took action in the Federal Court to avoid deportation after the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation assessed he was "directly or indirectly a risk to Australia's security".
Mr Leghaei, who has lived in Australia since 1994, says the Federal Government failed to accord him "procedural fairness" when deciding to deport him because he was not told the grounds on which ASIO made its assessment.
The Sydney father of four asserted he had a right to know the nature of the material which led to the adverse assessment so he could challenge it.
But ASIO claims that telling Mr Leghaei could endanger national security.
Federal Court Justice Rodney Madgwick last month dismissed Mr Leghaei's application to have the assessment declared void.
In his written reasons, which he handed down today, Justice Madgwick said he accepted that national security concerns took precedence over Mr Leghaei's right to know why he faces deportation.
"In my view ... the applicant was accorded procedural fairness to the extent that the interests of national security permitted," he wrote.
" ... it appears that it was not possible to put even a summary of the case against the applicant to him without compromising the interests of national security."...
