The general details seemed much more preposterous at the time than it does now

The details sure don't seem preposterous now, and I hope they make their way to see the light of day, via the general media.

Do you have any sense that the Iraqi refugees we brought here after Gulf War I are or were involved in this? It seems much more than a coincidence that the geographic area you have described is exactly where we placed them after the war.

Thanks for taking the time to put this info up. I am fascinated by it.

I don't have any sense that the Iraqi refugees you mention were involved. I had the sense that Iraqis were more at the general command and co-ordination level, and that those who were being pursued were, as I've said, "white supremacist" types, who were the favorite fall guys of the Clinton Justice Department. According to the info I received, most c&c was coming out of the Houston, Texas area with some things supposedly going down around Lafayette, Louisiana. I had conversations at different times with at least four different investigators at different levels. The reason was I had worked closely with a woman whos boy friend at the time was strategically placed inside USNI and was under suspicion for being a double agent for the Colombians, who supposedly were working with the Iraqis to ship the stuff through the drug networks. There was a big drug bust in the DFW area a few months earlier that had opened up this door. One guy involved in that operation was a company man. He was actually quoted by name in the press a few days ago (not on that, of course).

As for the general media getting hold of this information, I have seerioud doubts. I know for a fact that Newsweek had inside access and had a correspondent who was furiously probing it within a short period after the fact. Like the investigation, the story vanished from the radar. I think in this case the Clintonites and NYC officials (who were at each other's throats, incidentally) had a common interest at the time in not letting anything out. It would have embarrassed the hell out of the Clintonites (especially on the eve of a presidential election), and it would have scared the hell out of NYC. Since NYC ultimately couldn't do anything about it(though it was initially their case, the feds took it over rather heavy-handily), there would have been no gain in letting the matter go public. DOJ had Giuliani's people handcuffed and hogtied.

I would imagine if any enterprising reporter these days had some good sources from people who were privy of these matters in that era, he would just have to press hard, and the whole affair would come tumbling out. I don't blame anybody really. As far as I can tell, they couldn't get the specific names they were after to make the busts. Whoever had it is probably dead by now.

But an interesting coincidence did come out about a year or so ago. That alleged Hamas-front they raided in Richardson, Texas a few days before 911 (the computer company Infocom) had some interesting connections to all this. If you check out the background of Infocom, you find that they were supplying computer services to most of the Islamic mosques that were in areas under surveillance at the time and were targeted by the feds in Texas after 911. Infocom also held registration for the national domain name of - you guessed it - IRAQ. I myself believe Infocom is/was the key to a lot of stuff that's been going on.
