I wonder if the "American Committee for Peace in Chechnya" can be called treason group?

Weren't the Chechens the good guys until recently?

This Committee may simply be Freepers who haven't yet heard the latest change in the Party Line.

Someone please inform them that Oceania is now at war with Eastasia, not Eurasia.

Contact: Matthew Brady of the American Committee for Peace in Chechnya (news - web sites), 202-296-5101, ext. 134 Web site: http://www.peaceinchechnya.org/

The American Committee for Peace in Chechnya, a nonpartisan, nonprofit, private organization chaired by Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, Alexander M. Haig, Jr. and Ambassador Max M. Kampelman, represents nearly 100 distinguished Americans including academics, journalists, politicians, and foreign policy experts, and is dedicated to promoting a peaceful resolution of the conflict.

Private organization? I wonder what groups who wish to remain private fund this nonprofit organization?

Well, if we aren't willing to do the things we have to do- deportation, preemptive strikes against nations- we will just have to sit back and HOPE that al Qaeda isn't this diabolical. I'm proud to be an American but I'm pretty glad my wife and I are living in Scotland at the moment.

It's going to be a long hot summer I imagine.

Apartments, Explosives, and Cyanide:

The judge may have been "sure it was in the bomb," but the defendants were never even charged under anti-terrorism statutes that make mere possession of potential chemical and biological weapons a federal crime, Parachini noted. The rumor's origins date back to an earlier raid by the FBI of a New Jersey storage shed rented by the suspects. The agents found one sealed bottle of sodium cyanide in aqueous form. Aqueous sodium cyanide is used for photographic purposes and can cost less than $3 per pound, Parachini noted in his study, after consulting chemical experts. But it is sodium cyanide in solid form, usually briquettes costing many hundreds of dollars more, that can be effective as a chemical weapon when it's converted to hydrogen cyanide gas by a blast.

Nevertheless, the federal prosecutor in the initial World Trade Center trial raised the idea of a chemical bomb when questioning a senior FBI official, Steven Burmeister, about the consequences of mixing sodium cyanide with other chemicals present in the bomb. Burmeister testified that "if you breathe that gas I'm afraid you've breathed your last breath." Despite this "chilling testimony," however, "Burmeister never suggested during the trial that his investigation had led him to believe that the bomb actually contained sodium cyanide," Parachini writes -- and the trial transcript proves.

In addition, an FBI chemist who participated in the case told Parachini flatly, "There is no forensic evidence indicating the presence of sodium cyanide at the bomb site." Salon

Ah, but the gist of all this is to me...that such a type of combined bombing and gas attack is possible. IF, they can get any type of bomb into a site....why not, make it a gas attack too?? Especially, if you have the cynanide.

YIKES!! All that missing cyanide...THIS COULLD be it!! Hope to heavens that I am not correct.

Looks like the Dems just gave the administration cover to increase the heat on the muslies -- "unofficially," of course. I would thank them for doing the country a favor, but I'm sure that any good that comes of it will be quite by accident.

Oh, you're amusing. You think that by prefixing your opponents with Al-Qaeda, you can pull off the big lie and persuade everyone that the sky is green. If anyone bears responsibility for Al-Qaeda it is Russia. Their incompetence in Afghanistan created the Taliban and the opening for Bin-Laden. The Russian inability to finish the wars it started in Chechnya have created the safeground for Al-Qaeda. Islamofascists thrive against weakness. Russia has demonstrated an even greater weakness than the US in that it has tried and repeatedly failed. The US hasn't even been paying attention to Al Qaeda until the attacks. Now we're cleaning up Russia's mess.

So what? The Israeli defense industry has sold weapons to all sorts of nations. They even tried to sell AWACS technology to the Chicoms. That doesn't make the Chicoms the good guys.

Actually, South Carolina did attack Ft. Sumter first. Learn some history instead of rewriting it to suit your current position. I understand that it's difficult for those who were trained by Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Tito in "flexible" history.

Oh, yes. Quoting the NY Times. The same people that always support America's enemies. The same people that never fail to find a reason to justify communist dictators. The NY Times was only harsh on Serbia because they were Clinton apologists. Supporting the domestic Marxists took precedence over supporting foreign Marxists. If the NY Times found it useful to bash Bush by criticizing Serbia, they'd go back to it in a flash.

You blame the Russians for al-Qaida because they did not eliminate every Muslim they found in Afghanistan and Chechnya? You mean the fact that al-Qaeda's top leaders were former allies in the CIA's war in Afghanistan is not a factor?

Not only are your views worthless but are bizarre in a humiliating sort of way to you personally.

I welcome you posting more on the subject since each post represents a shot into your own foot.

Let me know if you come up with another nugget, it will give me an opportunity to post links agianst it and bump it to the top.
