DUBAI: Muslim religious scholars in Egypt and Saudi Arabia who condemned Palestinian suicide attacks against Israeli civilians may have done so under government pressure, according to a prominent Kuwaiti Islamist politician. Cairo and Riyadh would have urged the clerics to denounce the attacks because they are keen on "preserving the current Arab order," which would be threatened if Israel ousts Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, former MP Ismail al-Shatti, a leading member of the Islamic Constitutional Movement told AFP. Muslim scholars from the Arab world openly disagreed this week on the legitimacy of Palestinian suicide bombings -- or "martyrdom operations" -- ...

JAKARTA, Indonesia (BP)--Thousands of extremist Muslim fighters armed with automatic weapons are attacking Christian villages in Indonesia's Central Sulawesi province, burning churches and thousands of homes and sending residents fleeing. Perhaps as many as 63,000 Christians were trapped in the predominantly Christian city of Tentena late last week. One missionary in Indonesia reported fears the "jihad warriors" would break through to Tentena and massacre the Christians who had taken refuge there. Afghans and other foreigners are fighting alongside the Muslim militias in Sulawesi, according to news services. A policeman said he saw Muslim fighters stopping civilians at roadblocks and executing ...

Cats are using computers more and more these days. As it turns out, computers are the perfect objects to sit on, rub up against, spit fur balls on, muck up with cat hair, and hiss at. Forget the sewing basket with the spools of thread. Forget the laundry hamper with shreddable panty hose. Computers are much more attractive. What more could a cat want than floppy disks to trounce, monitors to scratch, mouse pads to claw, and laser printers for yoga or acrobatics practice. And, unlike the common stereo or TV, computers have lots of sensitive electronic components that can ...

Introduction: Why Do We Need Humans? So you've decided to get yourself a human being. In doing so, you've joined the millions of other cats who have acquired these strange and often frustrating creatures. There will be any number of times, during the course of your association with humans, when you will wonder why you have bothered to grace them with your presence. What's so great about humans, anyway? Why not just hang around with other cats? Our greatest philosophers have struggled with this question for centuries, but the answer is actually rather simple: THEY HAVE OPPOSABLE THUMBS. Which makes ...

Humans: Your cat waits and meows at the front door when you arrive. Is it saying: Welcome home The phone rang twice while you were out Feed me, now Your cat meows at the door when you go out. Is it saying: Please don't leave me here all alone Good-bye But what if I get hungry while you out? Your cat digs its claws in your leg. Is this: An unsupressed primal instinct A sign of affection A demand to be fed now Your cat scratches at the door after being fed: Is it saying: Lemme out - I need ...

Calling in sick to work makes me uncomfortable. No matter how legitimate my illness, I always sense my boss thinks I am lying. On one occasion, I had a valid reason, but lied anyway because the truth was too humiliating. I simply mentioned that I had sustained a head injury and I hoped I would feel up to coming in the next day. By then, I could think up a doozy to explain the bandage on my crown. The accident occurred mainly because I conceded to my wife's wishes to adopt a cute little kitty. Initially the new acquisition ...

You never feed me. Perhaps I'll sleep on your face. That will sure show you. You must scratch me there! Yes, above my tail! Behold, elevator butt. The rule for today Touch my tail, I shred your hand. New rule tomorrow. In deep sleep hear sound cat vomit hairball somewhere will find in morning. Grace personified. I leap into the window. I meant to do that. Blur of motion, then- silence, me, a paper bag. What is so funny? You're always typing. Well, let's see you ignore my sitting on your hands. My small cardboard box. You cannot see me ...

What makes this much more than an interesting footnote to history is ...

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27 -- The Oracle Corporation acknowledged today that it had hired a prominent Washington detective firm to investigate groups sympathetic to its archrival, the Microsoft Corporation, an effort that yielded documents embarrassing to Microsoft in the midst of its antitrust battle with the government. Oracle's admission today followed reports linking the detective firm, Investigative Group International, to an unsuccessful attempt this month to obtain documents from a pro-Microsoft trade group, the Association for Competitive Technology, by offering payments to janitors at the group's Washington office. Oracle said the investigations on its behalf had established that the association ...

I. BILL TYREE'S LAWSUIT: DRUG PROFITS ALLEGEDLY FUNDED FEMA Speculation about the mysterious origin and funding of the so-called US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has continued for decades. Most recently, the history of FEMA as an illegal, unconstitutional entity has been exposed in an unprecedented lawsuit against the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and its alleged drug-trafficking and money-laundering operations. In September 1998, a US$63 million lawsuit (Case No. 98-CV-11829-JLT) was filed by Massachusetts attorney Ray Kohlman on behalf of former Green Beret William M. (Bill) Tyree. Kohlman, a former legal investigator for attorney William Pepper in the Martin Luther ...

Terry Lenzner's CIA connection CLINTON'S SECRET POLICE Watergate attorney shielded agency's 'Dr. Strangelove' By Sarah Foster November 19, 1998 © 1998 WorldNetDaily.com President Clinton relies so much on private investigators to dig up dirt on political enemies, it's said he has his own private CIA. But an offhand remark by Terry Lenzner -- the super-sleuth most often hired by Clinton's attorneys to do the dirt-digging -- reveals there's more than a little truth to that quip. In a sworn deposition, the former Senate Watergate Committee attorney turned gumshoe admitted at least one significant connection to the Central Intelligence Agency. Lenzner ...

IV. CIA/DoJ COLLUSION IN DRUG TRAFFICKING/COVER-UP Class Action Lawsuit Alleges Federal Statute Violations Despite documented evidence by government whistleblowers, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Department of Justice (DoJ) have never been held accountable for their collusion in and/or acquiescence to drug trafficking. On March 15, 1999, however, class action lawsuits were filed by attorneys Katya Komisaruk, William M. Simpich and Kenneth Frucht on behalf of Rosemary Lyons and Olivia Woods in northern California and Donna J. Warren and Berlina M. Doss in southern California (Case No. 99-02603). The suit names the Central Intelligence Agency, the United States ...

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian police are investigating whether U.S. and Israeli spies used rigged computer software to hack into Canada's top secret intelligence files, the Toronto Star newspaper said Friday. The paper said the probe revolved around Promis, a software program first developed to assist prosecutors in the United States Department of Justice which was the centre of a U.S. scandal a decade ago. The Star said police were probing whether the software -- used by the Mounties and Canada's spy service to co-ordinate secret investigations -- had been rigged with a so-called "trap door" allowing unauthorized access to sensitive ...

ECHELON- Even the Americans are catching on" Security agency's eavesdropping network fuels paranoia" Take hard look at eye in the sky FOR decades, Congress has funded a vast secret surveillance system without knowing what it is or does. Now, at Europe's prodding, Congress is beginning to wake up to the dark implications. The system, known as ECHELON, may be indiscriminately intercepting much of the world's telephone, e-mail and fax communications. Reports prepared for the European Parliament claim it routinely spies on international dissident groups, and commits industrial espionage against European competitors -- allegations largely based on interviews with sources not ...

In an exclusive report based on interviews with intelligence sources and analysis of e-mails, Insight sheds light on what may have motivated Robert P. Hanssen to commit some of the worst acts of treason in the history of the United States. Less than 36 hours before he was arrested by the FBI at a nature park in Northern Virginia, Robert P. Hanssen entered a highly secret counterintelligence facility hidden away in an inconspicuous office building just across the Potomac River from Washington. Hanssen was inside the sanctum sanctorum of U.S. analysts, spies and agents from virtually every agency in the ...
