Calls For Talks Transcript<br>Updated: 00:54, Tuesday November 22, 2005<br><br>There have been calls for Downing Street to publish a transcript of a conversation between Tony Blair and US President George Bush.<br><br>It comes amid claims the Prime Minister persuaded Mr Bush not to launch a military strike on a TV station in a friendly Arab state.<br><br>According to unnamed sources quoted in the Daily Mirror, the memo - stamped Top Secret - records Mr Bush suggesting that he might order the bombing of al Jazeera's studios in Qatar.<br><br>And it allegedly details how Mr Blair argued against an attack on the station's buildings in the business district of Doha, the capital city of Qatar, which is a key ally of the West in the Persian Gulf.<br><br>Al Jazeera had sparked the anger of the US administration by broadcasting video messages from al Qaeda head Osama bin Laden and leaders of the insurgency in Iraq.<br><br>According to the Mirror's source, the transcript records a conversation during Mr Blair's visit to the White House on April 16 last year.<br><br>A spokesman for 10 Downing Street refused to discuss the leaked memo.<br><br>But former defence minister Peter Kilfoyle - a leading Labour opponent of the Iraq War - has called for the document to be made public.<br><br>"I believe that Downing Street ought to publish this memo in the interests of transparency, given that much of the detail appears to be in the public domain," he said.<br><br>"I think they ought to clarify what exactly happened on this occasion.<br><br>"If it was the case that President Bush wanted to bomb al Jazeera in what is after all a friendly country, it speaks volumes and it raises questions about subsequent attacks that took place on the press that wasn't embedded with coalition forces."<br><br>Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman Sir Menzies Campbell said: "If true, then this underlines the desperation of the Bush administration as events in Iraq began to spiral out of control."<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-13466894,00.html">skynews</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

Maybe there's a semi-private bedroom available nearby for George W. Bush, within ambulance range of the White House. Next to John Hinckley, say... <p></p><i></i>

al-J didn't produce them, but they usually were the receivers of them (from sources they probably know more about than we do), and never voiced any doubts about their authenticity. The head of al-Jazeera (can't remember the name now) has met Bin Laden, he should know if the Bin Laden he sees on a video tape is real or not (incidentally, I know a woman who has interviewed him about Bin Laden). And if he isn't in cahoots with the CIA, he would probably let his viewers know if he suspected it was fake.<br><br>I think all those tapes were real, including "fat Osama". If you look at other frames from that tape other than the one Mike Rivero shows in his whatreallyhappened piece, it looks a lot more like him. <p></p><i></i>

Osama doesn't deny being involved in terrorist attacks in interviews with Hamid Mir, his "official biographer". But Osama isn't the "mastermind" of any of these attacks, anyway. He's more like a symbolic leader, a "figurehead". Others do the organizing and planning. <br><br>Of course, many suspect Osama is being told what to say by others. I think so too. There are some shadowy people behind him, and above him, who I wish people were more interested in. One is Pir Mubarak Shah Gilani, Bin Laden's remarkably little known "spiritual master". Gilani is the leader of an extreme Islamist cult in Lahore, Pakistan, called al-Fuqrah, one of his followers was Richard Reid, the hapless "shoe bomber". "Pir" means "great master" in Urdu. His peculiar version of Islam emphasizes the existence of "dark forces" lurking just beneath the surface of visible reality (an idea that is alien to ordinary Islam), and the invocation of these forces in the jihad against the infidels and the Jews.<br><br>And here's the interesting part: Gilani used to live in the US. It was he who established the al-Kifah center in Brooklyn which served as an operational base for the WTC bombing in 1993. He also established several organizations, one of which is Muslims of the Americas (est. 1980), which maintains several countryside "camps" in the US. The sniper who killed that FBI agent (Muhammed something?) belonged to this group. So did one of the 7/7 bombers, if I'm not mistaken (the Jamaican one).<br><br>So why haven't the FBI raided these camps and outlawed this organization? Why indeed.<br><br>Gilani was the man WSJ journalist Daniel Pearl was trying to meet when he was lured in a trap, kidnapped and killed - probably by the Pakistani secret services. Who are, of course, tight with the CIA. <br><br>Certain suspicions naturally arise, from this.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.holyislamville.org/sheikh/images/hiseminence.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.holyislamville.org/sheikh/" target="top">Sultan Muhyidden Syed Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani Hashimi, Al-Hasani wa'l-Husaini.</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>A few quotes from the Muslims of the Americas, courtesy of the ADL. They seem to inhabit much the same mental universe as does Henry Makow.<br><br>"The enemies of Islam all over the world under the leadership of the Zionist New World Order are poised to eliminate the Ummah [the worldwide Muslim community] or so is their conspiracy….We thus find today that all Muslim countries are ruled by kufirized [infidel] locals operating under the guise of Islam. All of these rulers are thoroughly under the Zionist New World order in every sphere of their mental outlook and conception. They today rule the World of Islam on behalf of their masters who dictate all the terms….Without Islam there is no Ummah, and no force to contest the Kufr Zionist New World Order….As we all know the Yahood (Jews), are master conspirators. They plot and plan for a century ahead. Since they are deprived of true belief in spite of their overt profession of faith and religion, they labor under the misconception that their plans will always remain on course….The setbacks which the enemies of Allah, are experiencing and which are impeding the full achievement of their satanic goals, all of which is part of the Divine Scheme of Allah...to save the Ummah from annihilation." <br><br>-- MOA E-mail message, January 3, 2002<br><br> Every God-fearing individual, whether in America or abroad, must become informed of the heinous, barbaric, and purely sub-human nature of Zionism and all of its offshoots.

On the contrary, he will confuse you, and damage you psychologically…Christians would rather submit to the theory that they have killed their god and now believe in the supremacy and power of Satan. Try to imagine the type of mentality that is build upon such a belief: Masochism, suicide, Satanism…<br><br>-- "Psycho-Religious Causes of Some Incurable Diseases," MOA Web site <br><br>"The agents of Shaytan (Satan) are many. Many efforts are put forth to mislead masses into darkness via Satanic philosophies, ideologies, and schisms brought forth to divide and keep humanity divided, resulting in immorality, bigotry, break-down of family structure, and numerous unspeakable crimes against humanity.

MP willing to face jail on Al Jazeera memo

Postby banned » Sat Nov 26, 2005 12:55 am

<!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion">www.telegraph.co.uk/opini...l=/opinion</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>/2005/11/24/do2401.xml&sSheet=/opinion/2005/11/24/ixopinion.html<br><br> I'll go to jail to print the truth about Bush and al-Jazeera<br>By Boris Johnson<br>(Filed: 24/11/2005)<br><br>It must be said that subsequent events have not made life easy for those of us who were so optimistic as to support the war in Iraq. There were those who believed the Government's rubbish about Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction. Then the WMD made their historic no-show.<br><br>Some of us were so innocent as to suppose that the Pentagon had a well-thought-out plan for the removal of the dictator and the introduction of peace. Then we had the insurgency, in which tens of thousands have died.<br><br>Some of us thought it was about ensuring that chemical weapons could never again be used on Iraqi soil. Then we heard about the white phosphorus deployed by the Pentagon. Some people believed that the American liberation would mean the end of torture in Iraqi jails. Then we had Abu Ghraib.<br><br>Some of us thought it was all about the dissemination of the institutions of a civil society - above all a free press, in which journalists could work without fear of being murdered. Then we heard about the Bush plan to blow up al-Jazeera.<br><br>Some of us feel that we have an abusive relationship with this war. Every time we get our hopes up, we get punched by some piece of bad news. We yearn to be told that we're wrong, that things are going to get better, that the glass is half full. That's why I would love to think that Dubya was just having one of his little frat-house wisecracks, when he talked of destroying the Qatar-based satellite TV station. Maybe he was only horsing around. Maybe it was a flippant one-liner, of the kind that he delivers before making one of his dramatic exits into the broom-closet. Perhaps it was a kind of Henry II moment: you know, who will rid me of this turbulent TV station? Maybe he had a burst of spacy Reagan-esque surrealism, like the time the old boy forgot that the mikes were switched on, and startled a press conference with the announcement that he was going to start bombing Russia in five minutes. Maybe Bush thought he was Kenny Everett. Perhaps he was playing Basil Brush. Boom boom.<br><br>Who knows? But if his remarks were just an innocent piece of cretinism, then why in the name of holy thunder has the British state decreed that anyone printing those remarks will be sent to prison?<br><br>We all hope and pray that the American President was engaging in nothing more than neo-con Tourette-style babble about blowing things up. We are quite prepared to believe that the Daily Mirror is wrong. We are ready to accept that the two British civil servants who have leaked the account are either malicious or mistaken. But if there is one thing that would seem to confirm the essential accuracy of the story, it is that the Attorney General has announced that he will prosecute anyone printing the exact facts.<br><br>What are we supposed to think? The meeting between Bush and Blair took place on April 16, 2004, at the height of the US assault on Fallujah, and there is circumstantial evidence for believing that Bush may indeed have said what he is alleged to have said.<br><br>We know that the administration was infuriated with the al-Jazeera coverage of the battle, and the way the station focused on the deaths of hundreds of people, including civilians, rather than the necessity of ridding the town of dangerous terrorists. We remember how Cheney and Rumsfeld both launched vehement attacks on the station, and accused it of aiding the rebels. We are told by the New York Times that there were shouty-crackers arguments within the administration, with some officials yelling that the channel should be shut down, and others saying that it would be better to work with the journalists in the hope of producing better coverage.<br><br>We also recall that the Americans have form when it comes to the mass media outlets of regimes they dislike. They blew up the Kabul bureau of al-Jazeera in 2002, and they pulverised the Baghdad bureau in April 2003, killing one of the reporters. In 1999 they managed to blow up the Serb TV station, killing two make-up girls, in circumstances that were never satisfactorily explained.<br><br>To be fair to the Americans, we must also accept that they had good grounds for resenting al-Jazeera. The station is hugely respected in the Arab world, has about 35 million viewers, and yet it gives what can only be described as a thoroughly Arab perspective of current affairs. It assists in the glorification of suicide bombers; it publishes the rambling tapes of Bin Laden and others among the world's leading creeps and whackos; it is overwhelmingly hostile to America and sceptical about the neo-con project of imposing western values and political systems in the Middle East.<br><br>And yet however wrong you may think al-Jazeera is in its slant and its views, you must accept that what it is providing is recognisably journalism. It is not always helpful to the American cause in Iraq, but then nor is the BBC; and would anybody in London or Washington suggest sending a Tomahawk into White City? Well, they might, but only as a joke. Exhausted Western leaders, living in the nightmare of a media-dominated democracy, are allowed to make jokes about blowing up journalists. I seem to remember that when I was sent to Belgrade to cover the Nato attacks, Tony Blair told the then proprietor of The Daily Telegraph that he would "tell Nato to step up the bombing!" Ho ho ho.<br><br>But if there is an ounce of truth in the notion that George Bush seriously proposed the destruction of al-Jazeera, and was only dissuaded by the Prime Minister, then we need to know, and we need to know urgently. We need to know what we have been fighting for, and there is only one way to find out.<br><br>The Attorney General's ban is ridiculous, untenable, and redolent of guilt. I do not like people to break the Official Secrets Act, and, as it happens, I would not object to the continued prosecution of those who are alleged to have broken it. But we now have allegations of such severity, against the US President and his motives, that we need to clear them up.<br><br>If someone passes me the document within the next few days I will be very happy to publish it in The Spectator, and risk a jail sentence. The public need to judge for themselves. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. If we suppress the truth, we forget what we are fighting for, and in an important respect we become as sick and as bad as our enemies.<br># Boris Johnson is MP for Henley and editor of 'The Spectator' <p></p><i></i>

red herring

Postby rocco322 » Sat Nov 26, 2005 5:41 am

This story is a plant. Blair's ratings are dipping so low that this memo was leaked to make Blair look like the good guy. The Brits and Blair have used Bush like this before. He works very well as the scapegoat and helps make Blair look good. DOn't believe the hype. How do you think this story grew legs so fast? There has been many reports before of the US actually bombing the Baghdad Al Jazeera, yet those were violently suppressed. <p></p><i></i>

Plant

Postby Byrne » Wed Nov 30, 2005 7:49 am

I now believe that this story is a plant.<br><br>Newsnight had an interview with the lawyer representing one of the men accused (Leo O'Connor or David Keogh I can't recall which one),who was at Bow Street Magistrates Court yesterday. He stated that the Government has had this case 'bubbling' for months now, having called in the accused before, for different hearings.<br><br>All of a sudden, now, they let the case proceed. but all the accused did was only to confirm their details and they were then bailed until January 2006, when the story will be resurrected at their (UK Gobberment) convenience. As Newsnight states - How can the case proceed when defence lawyers haven't seen the memo? <br><br>The leaked memo apparently claims that B&B wanted to bomb Al-Jazzeera also adds weight that they think that the station represents a threat, whereas it is a convenient medium for them to release their spin - Bush & Blair wouldn't want rid of Al-Jazzeera, because who would then provide the channel for the Iraq Hostage videos, the UBL tapes & the responsibility claims for any Al-CIA-da activities?<br><br>It's a convenient plant & it's now obvious to me. <p></p><i></i>
