AIM Report: Media Blame Bush for Clinton Legacy - August B
August 15, 2006
The other critical factor that has to be considered in evaluating the approach to Iran and North Korea is that failures or misguided policies by the Clinton Administration have constrained the Bush Administration's ability to resolve these serious problems.
MEDIA BLAME BUSH FOR CLINTON LEGACY
*By Roger Aronoff
Time magazine's much-publicized July 17th cover story, "The End of Cowboy Diplomacy," has been viewed as a seminal media effort to capture the transformation of the Bush Administration from a trigger-happy approach in foreign policy to reliance on other nations and the U.N. But a careful analysis shows that Time exaggerated and distorted the facts in order to produce a story that would entice and mislead its readers.
It would be foolish to insist that changes in the Bush foreign policy have not been made. Since Condoleezza Rice became Secretary of State, she has clearly been relying more on the bureaucracy, including such figures as Clinton holdover Nicholas Burns, the Undersecretary of State, to make policy.
But it has never been the case that the Bush Administration has been a tough-talking, unilaterally-acting power, short on diplomacy and long on bullying. The cowboy metaphor is designed to create the impression that the Bush Administration has been acting alone, pursuing preemptive wars and presenting non-negotiable demands. Such a charge is designed to hurt the President's party at the polls this November.
A valid criticism, not made by Time, is that the Bush Administration has promoted democracy for a region of the world that has become so radicalized by propaganda from Arab TV channels such as Al-Jazeera that it doesn't yet seem quite capable of accepting it. The effort, however, still has to be considered a noble cause that was a far better option than maintaining a status quo that produced al Qaeda and 9/11. This struggle will continue for years, if not decades, and holds the promise of making the region—and America—safer in the long run. Our media have no patience for such an approach.
The other critical factor that has to be considered in evaluating the approach to Iran and North Korea is that failures or misguided policies by the Clinton Administration have constrained the Bush Administration's ability to resolve these serious problems.
The premise of the story was that Bush has used up his and the nation's credibility because of a misbegotten war in Iraq, and that it has been forced by circumstances to pursue an alternative course. Mike Allen and Romesh Ratnesar of Time wrote that "...the very fact that parts of Iraq remain on the edge of chaos after three years of fighting and the deaths of more than 2,500 Americans are incontrovertible evidence of how the Administration's miscalculations have come back to haunt it."
Media Onslaught
Miscalculations have been made, but these have included a failure to understand how anti-war propaganda—by the U.S. and European media and outlets like Al-Jazeera—would encourage the enemy and make victory more difficult.
The Time reporters wrote that Bush came to office with goals to "pursue a 'humble' foreign policy that would avoid the entanglements of the Bill Clinton years."
But then everything changed. "After Sept. 11, however, the Bush team embarked on a different path, outlining a muscular, idealistic and unilateralist vision of American power and how to use it. He aimed to lay the foundation for a grand strategy to fight Islamic terrorists and rogue states by spreading democracy around the world and pre-empting gathering threats before they materialize..."
What was left unsaid, of course, was that 9/11 could have possibly been avoided if the Clinton Administration had been able to accomplish something more in the war on terrorism than merely indicting Osama bin Laden and bombing one of his empty training camps in Afghanistan.
However, the event that seemed to trigger Time's conclusion that a major change had taken place in the Bush foreign policy was the reaction to the July 4th incident in which the Communist North Korean regime test-fired several missiles. President Bush had warned the week before that such action was "unacceptable." Time said, "Under the old Bush Doctrine, defiance by a dictator like Kim Jong Il would have merited threats of punitive U.S. action—or at least a tongue lashing. Instead, the Administration has mainly been talking up multilateralism and downplaying Pyongyang's provocation." They added, "cowboy diplomacy, RIP."
Others picked up on the Time theme. New York Newsday wrote that "The arrogant prerogative of go-it-alone preventive war to crush rogue nations was replaced by cautionary words urging patience with the slow and often frustrating work of diplomacy."
It added, "This is not the same Bush who ignored all of his allies' objections to invade Iraq."
Bush-Bashing
We have said this many times before, but it bears repeating. Bush went into Iraq after getting an authorization from Congress and a unanimous Security Council resolution, 1441. Though unable to pass a second Security Council resolution after Hans Blix had returned from Iraq to say that Saddam Hussein was still refusing to cooperate, Bush gained the support of 50 nations, more than 30 of which sent troops to Iraq. Some of the major nations which didn't support the effort, such as France and Russia, had billions of dollars of contracts with Iraq and were implicated in the U.N.'s oil-for-food scandal.
Time referred to the "entanglements" of the Clinton years without explaining how the Clinton Administration itself engaged in "cowboy" diplomacy. First, Clinton bombed Iraq for several days in December of 1998 with no Congressional or United Nations approval. In the end, however, Clinton left the festering problem for Bush to deal with.
Clinton's War On Serbia
Second, Clinton waged war against Serbia in violation of the War Powers Act, without the approval of Congress or the U.N., using NATO as an offensive rather than defensive force. That violated the NATO treaty. Today, because of the Clinton policy, a Muslim state is being constructed in the Serbian province of Kosovo, creating another foreign policy crisis for the Bush Administration that it must address immediately.
Regarding Iran, which was taken over by fanatical Muslims when then-President Jimmy Carter made human rights a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy, Bush has faced another difficult problem that Clinton contributed to. Bush has pursued diplomatic options along with the European Union while insisting that the Iranians stop enriching uranium and give up their nuclear-weapons ambitions.
Clinton, by contrast, actually enlisted Iranian help in arming the Bosnian Muslims against the Christian Serbs and helped establish a militant Islamic base in Bosnia. In a scandal that the major media conveniently ignored, a Senate Republican report said that the Clinton Administration was unwilling "to come clean with the Congress and with the American people about its complicity in the delivery of weapons from Iran to the Muslim government in Sarajevo."
Iran also expanded into other areas, such as southern Lebanon, leading to the current war between Hezbollah and Israel.
In regard to North Korea, Clinton was snookered by the North Korean communists, after providing them with massive amounts of aid, while they cheated on their promise to abandon their nuclear weapons program. With North Korea, Bush has insisted on working in the context of the six-party talks, and recently helped secure a Security Council resolution condemning the regime's missile tests. At the same time, he has pursued a national missile defense for the U.S., designed to protect America against missile threats from North Korea and other enemies.
In the Middle East, Clinton wasted eight years with the so-called Oslo process, during which Israel and the Palestinians were supposed to make peace, and he entertained Yasser Arafat repeatedly at the White House. In the end, Israel was under attack again and the region was ablaze in a second intifada. That is the situation that the Bush Administration inherited.
If Bush is indeed a cowboy, and there is a showdown with North Korea or Iran, the U.S. will probably have Britain, Australia, Japan, Israel and a few dozen more allies lined up with us. This "cowboy" has a posse.

A HIGH DEFINITION DAN RATHER
By Roger Aronoff
We wish Dan Rather had been willing to just let it go. But he won't, so we can't either. Angry and frustrated by his unceremonious departure from CBS News after more than 40 years, Rather is moving on to the cutting edge high-definition HD Net owned by the maverick billionaire Mark Cuban, who also happens to own this year's NBA finalist, the Dallas Mavericks. There Rather is promised complete editorial and creative control of what is starting out as a one-hour-a-week show on whatever topics Dan wants. He is going to be freed from the corporate shackles that have bound him all these years. It will be Dan Rather Unplugged. We thought he's been unplugged for a long time.
Rather chose the Larry King Live show as his platform to rail against this mythical figure who prevented him from really speaking out and doing the kind of journalism he always wanted to do. That's a laugh, of course. He has been the subject of many of our AIM Reports over the years, as we initiated the campaign to "Can Dan" long before he used the phony Bush National Guard documents and embarrassed himself and CBS News. Rather stayed in the anchor chair far too long.
But we felt a twinge of sympathy for Rather when he spoke of the shabby way he was treated at the end of his CBS career by the top brass. Larry King asked him about CBS's "unkept promises" to him:
Rather: "Well, I was told that I was going to be a regular correspondent on 60 Minutes. I wasn't. That's an example. There were unkept promises. And I asked several times that the promises be kept, and-"
King: "What'd they tell you?"
Rather: "Well, I was told through third parties, we think we're keeping them. That was part of it. In some cases it was demonstrably true that they weren't keeping it. You know Larry, as I talk about this and I want to answer your questions as truthfully as I can, as candidly as I can, but compared to what news ought to be doing, concentrating on whatever happened to Dan Rather at CBS News, how he left, under what circumstances, and even the story in which I didn't, we didn't do as good a job as I thought we should have done. And I do want to make clear, you've played several times the clip of what I said on the air: That was, first of all, I was playing team. I meant every word of it. In that the, we had a lot, a lot of corroboration, of what we broadcast about President Bush's military record. It wasn't just the documents. But it's a very old technique used, that when those who don't like what you're reporting believe it can be hurtful, then they look for the weakest spot and attack it, which is fair enough. It's a diversionary technique."
King: "You're saying that was a fair report, I mean that was you believe that report to this day?"
Rather: "Do I believe the truth of the story? Absolutely."
King: "Have you ever thought of entertaining a lawsuit?"
Rather: "Notice that I pause."
King: "Pregnant pause."
Rather: "I'm not going to talk about that."
So Rather quickly went from victim of CBS to the fantasy world of still believing in the bogus Bush National Guard documents. King played a clip of an interview with Mike Wallace, also of 60 Minutes, who said that he thought Dan should have resigned when his producers on the segment were fired. If Rather really believes in the Bush National Guard story, that would have been the right thing to do.
What Rather and his team did, back in September of 2004, was inexcusable. On consecutive Wednesdays, on 60 Minutes II, just two months before the presidential election, they ran with a story challenging President Bush's record in the Texas Air National Guard, in terms of attendance, performance and how he got in the Guard in the first place. After 12 days, Rather went on the air and apologized, and said they could no longer stand behind the authenticity of the documents used to make their case. They weren't saying the documents were forgeries, but they would no longer claim they were authentic.
CBS appointed a commission headed by former Attorney General Richard Thornburgh and former Associated Press chief Lou Boccardi. The report was devastating, and resulted in four producers being either fired or forced to resign. Rather stayed, but he was ousted from his anchor chair after 24 years, one year less than he had assumed and desired. His main producer, Mary Mapes, had been trying to nail this story down for five years, unsuccessfully, but went on the air with it anyway. She wrote a book claiming the story is still true and that the bogus documents are in reality genuine copies of the originals. Nobody else except Rather seems to buy it.
Boccardi and Thornburgh said they couldn't find evidence that the story was politically motivated, but one could draw no other conclusion. After all, the source of the phony documents was Bill Burkett, who carried a grudge against Bush.
Not only were the documents phony and the story politically motivated, it was a complete fraud in its main assertions. The claim, of course, was that Bush got special help to get into the Guard in order to avoid Vietnam. But the facts showed that Bush chose to go in as a pilot of an F-103, for which there was no waiting list. He didn't need any connections. And he was one of the highest-rated pilots after more than a year of intense flight training. What's more, the Boccardi/Thornburgh report showed that he volunteered to go as a pilot to Vietnam but wasn't needed.
If this kind of reporting is what Rather brings to Mark Cuban's network, we have to admit it will make for some interesting programs. Who knows? Former CBS correspondent Daniel Schorr is about to celebrate his 90th birthday, and is still going strong as a correspondent for National Public Radio. Rather could be with us for years to come. We might have to get our "Rather Biased" paraphernalia out of the AIM attic. At Cuban's HD Net channel, however, Rather will have a much smaller audience.

AIM Report: Al-Jazeera Promotes Global Terrorism - August A
August 1, 2006
As the AIM "Terror Television" DVD demonstrates, the channel's first managing director acted in effect as an agent of the Saddam Hussein regime.
AL-JAZEERA PROMOTES GLOBAL TERRORISM
In the same way that Al-Jazeera television has complicated the prospect of a U.S. victory in Iraq, the channel has dramatically increased the Islamic terrorist threat to Israel, helping to produce the war with the Hezbollah terrorist group.
The U.S. and Israel will not be able to win this global war on terrorism unless the role of Al-Jazeera in radicalizing Arabs and Muslims throughout the world is recognized and addressed.
As a result, Accuracy in Media is redoubling its effort to keep the English-language Al-Jazeera out of U.S. media markets. If Al-Jazeera International is allowed to reach English-speaking Arabs and Muslims in the U.S. with its incendiary messages, we could see suicide bombings on the streets of America and the development of more al-Qaeda cells plotting 9/11-type terrorist attacks.
Recon Operations
But Al-Jazeera's threat has taken another form, as Israeli authorities during the war with Hezbollah arrested several Al-Jazeera employees on suspicions of aiding the enemy. One charge was that Al-Jazeera employees in Israel were airing live footage from the scene of Hezbollah strikes in Israel, helping Hezbollah adjust the aim of the rockets it was firing. Another charge was that Al-Jazeera was filming sensitive locations which could be targeted in missile strikes.
Here, Al-Jazeera journalists have been caught visiting the U.S.-Canada and U.S.-Mexico border areas.
Al-Jazeera International made a visit in May to Crosby, North Dakota, prompting inquiries from the local Sheriff and U.S. Border Patrol. The local paper, the Crosby Journal, quoted a Border Patrol official as asking, "What is the interest of an Arab news organization in Crosby, North Dakota?" It reported that Sheriff Lauren Throntvei "said the hairs on the back of his neck stood up when he heard they were in town." The paper said that a U.S. Border Patrol agent asked for the names of the Al-Jazeera journalists, whether they had been near the border, and their stated motivations. The agent "said there were potential international implications to the journalists' visit, on which he could not elaborate."
The Al-Jazeera International delegation claimed to be doing a positive story about the people of northwestern North Dakota. However, Al-Jazeera International is not yet on the air and may not be up and running until the fall.
The Minutemen group previously denounced an attempt by Al-Jazeera to visit the U.S.-Mexico border area as a "recon" operation to benefit those who want to illegally enter the U.S. A Minuteman spokesman called Al-Jazeera a "terrorist TV station."
As the AIM "Terror Television" DVD demonstrates, the channel's first managing director acted in effect as an agent of the Saddam Hussein regime. Al-Jazeera's Baghdad bureau has been closed since August 2004 because of its sympathetic coverage of terrorist acts. The channel, however, is operating in the Kurdish-ruled area of the north and still broadcasts into Iraq. Indeed, it was reported recently that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, during a visit to Kurdistan, refused to entertain questions from the Al-Jazeera correspondent, saying, "I told him that I will not reply because we have position against Al-Jazeera." Al-Maliki added, "I blame my brothers in Kurdistan to allow Al-Jazeera to work although it is banned from that because it incites sectarianism day and night in Iraqi circles." This statement reflects recognition that Al-Jazeera, like al Qaeda, has been trying to spark a civil war in Iraq.
In the broader Middle East, Al-Jazeera has been doing whatever it can to thwart a reasonable approach to a peace settlement. Despite a series of unilateral Israeli concessions, Al-Jazeera has provided what sympathetic observers call "intensive coverage" of the Palestinian cause. That means that its coverage has encouraged violence against Israel. Its "reporters" openly refer to Palestinian suicide bombers as "martyrs." Honest Reporting, a media watchdog group, has documented how Al-Jazeera has run inflammatory articles on its website referring to President Bush giving the government of Israel a "license to kill" and suicide bombers as "self-sacrifice operations."
Al-Jazeera has played a clear role in the rise of Hamas (the Islamic Resistance Movement) and its Palestinian election victory in January. From the start, Al-Jazeera has been accused of undermining Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement in order to build up Hamas. Arafat even temporarily closed down the Al-Jazeera bureau in Ramallah after it aired an "unflattering image" of him. Fatah supporters in May burned three cars belonging to Al-Jazeera because the channel did not cover an anti-Hamas demonstration in the city.
As part of its pro-Hamas bias, Al-Jazeera in March broadcast a conference in Yemen where a supporter of al Qaeda praised Palestinian suicide bombers and called on the crowd to financially support Hamas. Coverage of this event is available at the website of the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which monitors the media in that part of the world. Al-Jazeera in May aired a Hamas fundraising event in Gaza, where a jacket worn by the "martyred" former Hamas Chief Sheikh Salah Shehada was auctioned off. Shehada, who was responsible for hundreds of attacks on Israeli citizens and security forces, was killed by Israel in 2002.
Hate-America TV
Stories bashing Israel have to compete with the channel's well-documented bias against America. In our DVD on "Terror Television," we show some film footage of Al-Jazeera television staff in Ramallah in an anti-American demonstration chanting "Down with fascist America."
Here, Al-Jazeera continues to promote conspiracy theories that Muslim terrorists were not really behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Al-Jazeera recently ran an article about a Los Angeles conference that viewed the 9/11 terrorist attacks as "an orchestrated U.S. attempt to incite world war." One of the participants was identified as Webster Tarpley, who wrote a book, 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA. As the title implies, Tarpley insists that the terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon were an example of "state-sponsored, false-flag terrorism," undertaken by a faction of the U.S. Government in order to "start the war of civilizations." Tarpley is a long-time associate of "anti-Zionist" and former Marxist activist Lyndon LaRouche, who himself has appeared on Al-Jazeera.
The Al-Qaeda Connection
Al-Jazeera knows this is a bunch of bunk because its own reporter Yosri Fouda interviewed the al-Qaeda architects of 9/11, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Ramzi bin al-Shibh, and co-authored a book about it entitled Masterminds of Terror. Peter Maass wrote a fascinating story about Fouda's contacts with al Qaeda in an article in the New York Times Magazine entitled "When Al Qaeda Calls." Ron Suskind's new book, The One Percent Doctrine, takes the story one step further, alleging that Fouda's information about the possible locations of both al-Qaeda operatives led to their ultimate capture. Suskind claims the Emir of Qatar provided the information to then-CIA director George Tenet.
Insisting that it "never communicated any information that it has obtained to any political, security or any other party whatsoever," Al-Jazeera has rejected Suskind's claims as ridiculous and baseless. The channel said it was "well known for its editorial independence" and its "commitment to protect the rights of sources." The implication, of course, is that some of Al-Jazeera's "sources" are terrorists or their agents.
This is part of the problem we face as Al-Jazeera International, which is financed by the same Arab government which brought the world Al-Jazeera, prepares its launch. Even if the Suskind story is true, the capture of these al-Qaeda operatives cannot make up for the murder of almost 3,000 Americans on 9/11, especially because Qatar had links to al Qaeda and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed before 9/11. Today, however, the Wahhabi Muslim regime postures as a friend of the U.S. and hosts American forces.
Al-Jazeera International is busy constructing its new Washington, D.C. bureau on K Street in the nation's capital. Employees say salaries and benefits are good, but former ABC Nightline anchor Ted Koppel, who interviewed for a job there, said he would have nothing to do with it. The new channel has put tremendous resources, including the public-relations muscle of the British-based firm Brown Lloyd James (BLJ), into a campaign to secure carriage on American cable and satellite systems. So far, AIM has stopped them.
Subscribers to the AIM Report received copies of postcards they could send to Michael Holtzman, BLJ executive vice president. The cards noted a report that $1 billion is being spent on Al-Jazeera International and asked, "How much of that is your firm getting?"
BLJ should not be underestimated. The company boasts that Holtzman, who is handling the Al-Jazeera International account in the U.S., "managed the successful global campaign on behalf of China's bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games." The company website says this "extraordinarily successful engagement" was named "Campaign of the Year" by PR Week in 2001.
If the entry of Al-Jazeera International into U.S. media markets becomes another "Campaign of the Year," it is predictable and inevitable that Americans will suffer and die because of it.
Partners In Crime
But stopping Al-Jazeera Inter-national won't be enough. As reported by Hugh Miles, Al-Jazeera has "sharing agreements" with CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox, Japan's NHK, and Germany's ZDF, "all of which regularly use Al-Jazeera's footage and reports." Miles, the author of a fascinating but sympathetic book about Al-Jazeera, makes this point in the context of insisting that "Journalists around the world treat Al-Jazeera with the same respect they treat news from any other major international news network." What they "respect" is the ability of Al-Jazeera to get terrorist "news" from bin Laden and al Qaeda.
CNN was the first U.S.-based network to sign a "resource-sharing agreement" with Al-Jazeera. This relationship was on display when CNN aired part of an interview that Al-Jazeera's then-Kabul-based reporter Tayseer Allouni had conducted with Osama bin Laden. This was described at the time as the only television interview bin Laden had granted since before 9/11. Allouni was later convicted of being an agent of al Qaeda and is now serving seven years in prison in Spain.
Al-Jazeera also has a sharing agreement with the Telesur channel of Venezuelan lunatic ruler Hugo Chavez.
Rep. Connie Mack had criticized the venture, saying, "When Hugo Chavez launched Telesur…to spread his anti-freedom rhetoric throughout Latin America I raised numerous concerns that he was creating a TV network patterned after Al-Jazeera. Today, Hugo Chavez has gone even further. It wasn't enough for him to spread his socialist propaganda throughout Latin America. Now he's in cahoots with the original terrorist TV." Mack said the alliance "has the effect of creating a global television network for terrorists and other enemies of freedom."
ROBERT NOVAK TOLD THE TRUTH
The Washington Post on July 9 published an article, "When in Doubt, Publish," which began by saying that, "It is the business—and the responsibility—of the press to reveal secrets." It was signed by five major figures involved in the field of journalism education. In fact, however, it attempted to justify the publication of some—but not all—"secret" information. In the process of trying to sound like guardians of the public's right to know, they disclosed their preference for keeping the American people in the dark about what the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee says is a major faction of the CIA that is deliberately subverting the foreign policy of the Bush Administration.
While the New York Times' violation of the law barring publication of classified communications intelligence information was justified by these titans of modern-day American journalism, there was said to be "no justification" at all for conservative columnist Robert Novak to have written a column identifying Valerie Plame as a "covert CIA officer." Claiming she had been "unmasked" by Novak, they implied that her employment status in the agency was a closely held secret and that revealing this information about her was a major threat to the national security of the U.S.
The signers of the Post column were Geoffrey Cowan, dean of the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Southern California; John Lavine, dean, Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University; Nicholas Lemann, dean, Graduate School of Journalism, Columbia University; Orville Schell, dean, Graduate School of Journalism, University of California at Berkeley; and Alex S. Jones, director of the Shorenstein Center, Harvard University.
The Times is being excused for compromising secret programs to apprehend terrorists, while Novak was excoriated for writing about a CIA employee working a desk job and running a "front" company.
In contrast to the conduct of the Times, which disclosed a highly classified NSA program in clear violation of Section 798 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code, Novak's publication of Valerie Plame's name and affiliation with the CIA was not a violation of the law. The law which drove the investigation of the case did not apply to Novak, who was simply passing on information from administration officials about her role in getting her husband Joseph Wilson sent on a CIA mission to Africa. The law covered those who deliberately exposed a CIA officer's secret identity for the purpose of damaging U.S. intelligence. That was not the case here, and no charges in that regard have been filed.
Novak's Public Service
Novak, who has now come forward to explain why he wrote his column, should be praised, not criticized, for bringing forth information that is still critically important to understanding the nature of the Wilson mission and the rogue CIA elements behind it. It is a story that we still need to know if U.S. intelligence agencies are to remain under the clear control of elected officials.
As strange as it may seem, the erroneous claim about Plame's "covert" status at the CIA appears to have been taken from transcripts of the Chris Matthews MSNBC Hardball show, whose correspondent, David Shuster, had erroneously predicted that White House aide Karl Rove would be indicted for his role in talking to Novak and allegedly "outing" Plame. Shuster was also responsible for the completely unsubstantiated claim that Plame was a top agency operative on the trail of Iran's nuclear weapons program.
Her supposed intelligence "cover," like the Rove indictment predicted by Shuster, was a figment of the liberal imagination. There was at least one thing truly secret about her, however. Wilson had desperately wanted her role in getting him on that trip kept confidential. That's why he raised it in his book, The Politics of Truth, saying it would be a violation of federal nepotism laws if she had played such a role, and then categorically denied that she had done so. This preemptive strike was his way of discouraging the press from unraveling the pretense that he was an objective observer who simply uncovered the facts about the Bush Iraq policy and was retaliated against for innocently providing them to the Times. Unfortunately for Wilson and his CIA backers, the Senate Intelligence Committee found documents proving that Plame did play a role in the Wilson junket.
On the same day the Post article attacking Novak's public-service journalism was published, the New York Times inadvertently revealed the thinking of a top member of Congress, with access to the most sensitive information about U.S. intelligence activities, on the significance of the Wilson/Plame affair.
The Rogue Agency
The Times reported that Rep. Peter Hoekstra, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, had sent a private letter to President Bush about a range of intelligence issues. Predictably, The Times focused on a vague reference in the letter to secret programs that Hoekstra had wanted Congress to be briefed on. The Times thought this was proof that the administration was running illegal programs, a favorite theme of the liberal media in their zeal to discredit Bush.
But the Hoekstra letter was quite specific about what is going on in the CIA. The Times article, however, did not highlight that part of the letter in which Hoekstra referred to events in the Valerie Plame affair as the result of "a strong and well-positioned group" within the CIA that "intentionally undermined the Administration and its policies." Readers of the on-line Times were able to read the whole letter, which was posted on the paper's website. The Hoekstra letter also refers to Stephen Kappes returning to the CIA as Deputy Director when it is believed that he "may have been part" of the group that was determined to sabotage the Bush Administration.
The real story, suggested by Hoekstra, is that CIA officials were behind Wilson's visit to Africa, and that the purpose of his trip was to come back and discredit the President's well-documented claim that Saddam Hussein had sought uranium there.
For her part, Plame had contributed to the Al Gore-for-president campaign through her CIA "front" company and would surface as a financial contributor to the Kerry-for-President campaign through a group called America Coming Together. Her husband would sign up as a Kerry adviser. All of these developments would confirm what had been suspected by the Bush Administration. The Africa trip and Times op-ed were part of an obvious plan by partisan political forces in the CIA to sabotage the President's Iraq policy.
The Hoekstra letter is terribly important if we are going to begin to have any understanding of how our democratic republic has been subverted by intelligence officials operating outside of our elected government.

A Cartel Worse Than OPEC
By E. Ralph Hostetter | August 11, 2006
Today the United States faces a cartel far more destructive of America's energy independence than OPEC's nine nations.
At this moment, America faces one of the greatest threats to its economy and perhaps its very survival as a world power. A war is under way in the Middle East, source of 50% of the world's petroleum energy, which, if distribution were disrupted, could cause a world recession or worse.

Cargo truck runs into Qantas jet at Los Angeles airport
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A Qantas airliner with more than 300 people on board was damaged when it collided with a cargo truck on a taxiway at Los Angeles International Airport, officials said.
The Boeing 747 jumbo jet had just arrived from Australia and was rolling toward the terminal Monday when it was struck by the cargo truck, damaging one of its engines, according to an incident report by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Airplanes always have the right of way on the taxiways at the airport, said airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles.
No one was hurt. The 291 passengers and 19 crew members were taken off the plane and removed from the airfield by bus. The jet was towed to a maintenance hangar, where it remained on Tuesday.

The plane was expected to be back in service on Wednesday after mechanics received a replacement part, said Qantas Airways spokesman Mike Abraham. He said the engine didn't suffer any major damage.
The FAA said in its report that damage to the engine was "substantial."
Abraham declined to provide more details about the accident.
"We're investigating the circumstances and it would unfair to describe anything until we know more," he said.
Abraham said passengers who were booked on a 10:30 p.m. flight to Sydney on Monday were assigned to other Qantas flights.

Landing system outage hits LA airport for second time in a week
By GILLIAN FLACCUS
Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Authorities were investigating what caused an instrument landing system that guides arriving planes onto one runway at Los Angeles International Airport to fail for the second time in a week, delaying dozens of flights.
The instrument landing system, which acts as a beacon to guide planes to the runway, failed just before 10 a.m. Monday and came back on about 40 minutes later, said Ian Gregor, spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.
The same system on the same runway shut off on Aug. 7 for several hours, creating 90-minute arrival delays that rippled through the system and affected dozens of flights nationwide. This time, arrivals were delayed between 30 and 45 minutes as air traffic controllers kept some planes circling in the air over Los Angeles and reduced the arrival rate from 60-to-70 planes per hour to 46, Gregor said.
The repeated problems prompted airport officials to question how well the instrument landing system was being maintained by the FAA.

Moses Anshell Phase 2
"This is clearly a systemic problem with the equipment," said Lydia Kennard, executive director of Los Angeles World Airports, a city agency that operates the airport. "We believe there's something fundamentally wrong with the equipment. It has to be fixed or replaced."
Gregor said there was no indication the two incidents were connected. The FAA has not determined what caused the Aug. 7 outage, he said.
The union that represents local air traffic controllers has questioned whether the system's age contributed to the outages.
"That piece of equipment is a precision piece of equipment," said Tony Vella, local president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association.
"We literally run those airplanes in wingtip to wingtip on parallel runways. I don't know what it's going to take out there - if the airplanes are going to have to trade paint out there - before the FAA gets this thing fixed."
The system is 9 years old and is typically reliable, Gregor said. For example, the equipment flickered off intermittently but was quickly reset the weekend of Aug. 5-6.
The malfunctioning equipment, called a "localizer," sends a radio signal to help pilots center their airplanes on the runway for landing. It is most crucial when it's foggy or hazy; the lack of fog Monday at the seaside airport was one reason the problem wasn't more severe, officials said.
In last week's case, the localizer shut off - as it is programmed to do - when something blocked the beacon signal, said Gregor. The system had to be manually reset and the only available technician was not at the airport at the time, he said.
The airport has had multiple problems in recent weeks.
It was significantly affected by a July 18 power outage at a regional FAA air traffic control center in the high desert city of Palmdale that backed up flights across parts of the western United States and Canada.
On July 26, a system designed to alert controllers to potential collisions on the ground was not operating properly when the pilot of an arriving jet mistakenly drove into the path of a plane that was taking off. An FAA review found that the departing plane pulled up suddenly and soared about 150 feet over the jet and 50 feet to the side of it.
The airport is also undergoing a $333 million runway relocation and taxiway project to prepare for the next generation of giant airliners and reduce the risk of runway accidents. The project has closed one runway and added a six-minute delay to all incoming flights in the next eight months.
The airport averages 1,800 daily flights and this summer's passenger total is expected to reach 18.7 million, its busiest since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. In 2005, more than 60 million people passed through the airport.

Toy remote control triggers airliner evacuation at LA airport
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- An Alaska Airlines jet arriving from Mexico was evacuated Monday because no one claimed a "suspicious item" - later determined to be a toy transmitter - spotted by a crew member, officials said.
Authorities using bomb-sniffing dogs found no explosives inside the plane's cargo hold or the transmitter, which was similar to a remote control for a toy car or plane, authorities said.
The FBI and other agencies were investigating, though there was no immediate threat, said bureau spokeswoman Laura Eimiller.
Airport police were notified at 8:20 a.m. that there was a suspicious item aboard the flight, which originated in Guadalajara, Mexico, said Los Angeles International Airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles.
Authorities said the crew became alarmed when no one claimed the item.
"The flight attendant discovered an item and she said, 'Is this yours?' And all the passengers said, 'No,'" airport spokesman Harold Johnson said.
The plane landed just before 9 a.m. and taxied to a remote part of the airport.
Castles said all 125 passengers and crew members were taken to a terminal in buses. Transportation Security Administration officials searched passenger luggage and belongings by hand, the FBI said.
The passengers were held at a remote gate and interviewed by law enforcement, said Castles. The last passenger was released at 3 p.m., Eimiller said.

Latest Los Angeles power failure cuts electricity to 71,200
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A power outage blacked out more than 71,000 utility customers including City Hall, police headquarters and other government buildings in the civic center area for up to 15 minutes Monday.
It was the latest in series of problems for the city Department of Water and Power, the nation's largest municipal utility, which serves 1.4 million customers.
The electrical outage also extended outside the civic center and affected some residential and commercial buildings, said DWP spokeswoman Gale Harris.
The incident triggered numerous calls reporting malfunctioning traffic lights and stuck elevators, said Fire Department spokesman Brian Ballton.

Courts, DWP headquarters and the Police Department's Parker Center were among major buildings affected.
The failure involved a transformer bank at a North Main Street electrical receiving station but the exact cause remained under investigation, Harris said.
"A formal investigation is still being conducted," Harris said.
Power went out at 11:41 a.m. Some of the 71,200 affected customers were back up in seven minutes, and power was restored to the remainder at 11:56 a.m., Harris said.
A station operator was present, which allowed quick restoration of service, she said.
A series of DWP problems have raised questions about the reliability of electrical service in the nation's second-largest city.
A 20-minute outage hit about 4,000 civic center customers on Aug. 2, and during July's record heat wave 860 transformers failed, leaving thousands of customers without power - for days in some cases.
The latter incident revealed that city's aging power infrastructure may not be capable of keeping up with the amount of electricity that customers can demand.
The DWP had planned to spend $2.4 billion on improvements over the next five years, but officials say the utility may need to move faster, adding another $100 million or more to costs.

Woodbridge fire engine needs at least $80,000 in repairs after collision
By Layla Bohm
News-Sentinel Staff Writer
Last updated: Friday, Aug 11, 2006 - 06:11:07 am PDT

A Woodbridge Fire engine will be out of commission for six to eight months and needs at least $80,000 worth of repairs after it was involved in a weekend collision.
The year-old engine, which cost the fire district about $250,000, had to be towed to the manufacturer in Woodland after the accident, Capt. Ken Harris said Thursday.
Two firefighters were on the engine at 5:35 p.m. Saturday as they responded to a grass fire that had gotten out of control at Tower Park, Harris said.
The engine's lights and sirens were on, and westbound traffic was yielding, said California Highway Patrol Officer Jamie Crum. But two eastbound pick-up trucks came in contact with one another, causing one to spin out of control into the side of the fire engine, he said.
A white Toyota Tacoma, driven by Jose Menjivar, 37, of Pittsburg, was traveling east when "something sent (it) out of control. It was either rear-ended or there was some other circumstance," said Crum, adding that he and fellow investigators are still recreating the entire crash scene.
Following behind the Tacoma was a Ford F350, also white, driven by Mark Chadwell, 34, of Stockton, Crum said.
After the trucks made contact, the Tacoma hit the fire truck, then sideswiped a silver Nissan Frontier pick-up, which had pulled over for the fire engine and was returning to the roadway, Crum said. In the process, one of the white eastbound trucks also clipped a mirror on a green Chevy in front of the fire engine.
Two passenger's in the Tacoma were treated for complaints of pain at Lodi Memorial Hospital, but there were no major injuries.
Harris said the two firefighters on the engine later went home early with stiffness and pain.
The firefighters did not appear to be at fault and the engine was in its lane and using appropriate speed, Crum said. One of the two eastbound trucks was likely at fault, he said, but investigators are still working on the case.
The 2004 HME fire engine, meanwhile, had to be towed from the scene, which slowed traffic for about an hour.
The vehicle was custom built in Woodland and delivered to the fire district in 2005. It had about 15,000 miles on it at the time of the collision, Harris said.
It was used for structure fires, grass fires, vehicle accidents and medical calls, Harris said. Repairs will likely cost between $80,000 and $100,000, though that estimate is not final because the manufacturers will have to take apart the engine to determine the extent of the damage.
Other fire departments helped with both the crash and the fire, which burned three to four acres and briefly threatened structures, Harris said. The cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
