Scott Horton Interviews Joe Lauria
Investigative reporter Joe Lauria discusses the series he co-wrote for the London Times about the Sibel Edmonds case, including the 30 year Washington connection to the A.Q. Kahn nuclear black-market operation, the difficulty in corroborating stories about such a secretive subject, the inability of American mainstream media to diverge from the status quo, how the Tinner family fits into the story and the history of the military-industrial-congressional complex as told in the new book he’s co-authored with former senator Mike Gravel, A Political Odyssey.

That’s great, but I think Joe should be a bit cautious about listening to anything he hears from David Albright. In the first place, Scott Ritter recently produced a pretty scathing article about Albright’s basic ignorance and timeserving nature, and in the second place, I personally recall the ridiculous article Albright wrote purporting to explain why the nonexistent Syrian reactor had no chimneys.

p.s. … I wonder if one could make the case that the long term US reason for permitting and coving up the A Q Khan proliferation was to discredit the NPT. This in itself would be a comprehensible, though disgusting, policy goal for both the US and Israel.

via traditional Sunday disinfo feed, Uzi Mahnaimi in London’s Sunday Times, comes a story that is precisely isomorphic to the ‘pre-emptive’ raid on the non-existent Syrian nuclear reactor : a claim that the recent assassination of Brigadier-General Muhammad Suleiman was mossad vengeance because he was supplying advanced anti-aircraft SA-8s to Hezbollah.

Obama said that Iran should be barred from importing gasoline. That´s a Declaration of War, the same as HR 362 and SR 580 which were shelved for now.
And Obama said he wouldn´t allow the UN to Veto an American attack on Iran. What´s the matter with him ? Enough of American war crimes. Today they behave worse than the Nazis, worse than SS=Blackwater. Depleted Uranium in Iraq and Afghanistan. Does Obama think United Bluff owns the planet because of bigger guns ? The rest of the world won´t accept Übermenschen, not in Nazi-Germany and not from the criminals in Washington.

The US Government is corrupt and the MSM is complicit in covering for them… WOW! Big news here folks… Not!
Horton and Lauria will be dead and gone before any of this ever becomes a public issue.
