Saudis must stem cash for terror, report says
“Despite a crackdown on terrorism financing after the Sept. 11 attacks, Saudi Arabia still must dismantle a system that has permitted hundreds of millions of dollars to flow to Islamic extremists through businesses and charities, according to a report submitted to the U.N.”
Hmmm, let’s see who did the report.
The 34-page report was submitted by Jean-Charles Brisard last week at the request of the Colombian ambassador to the United Nations, the current president of the Security Council. <Columbia, with their new right-wing President is one of the Bushies major allies on the Security Council>
Brisard spent years analyzing Al Qaeda’s finances for a French intelligence service. He works now as a private investigator for relatives of victims of the Sept. 11 attacks who have filed a lawsuit against Saudi political and economic leaders alleging they sponsored Al Qaeda terrorism.
Not exactly an unbiased source of info, eh, as he directly gains financially by proving Saudi-terrorist links.
Does some of the Saudi royal family send money to Al-Qaeda? Probably. But with 5,000 princes alone in the royal family, there are undoubtably dozens of factions and splits, with some favoring the U.S. and some not. Rather than say Saudi royals finance terrorism, let’s focus on which ones do and why - rather than have politically suspect reports like this one bashing all Saudis.

Merry Christmas from Rummy
Rumsfeld tells North Korea that ”U.S. military could win a war on the Korean peninsula even while battling Iraq.”
Do the Bushies really want a deeply destabilized world and the hatred of many countries? Because that’s what they clearly are going to get if they continue their plans for All War All The Time.
Let China and South Korea deal with North Korea. It’s their turf, they know the culture, and are directly involved. But to say - immediately - we will invade simply because North Korea is dismantling monitoring equipment at a nuclear station is … lunacy. Dangerous lunacy.

Five technically legal signs for your library
These signs are designed by a librarian who wants to alert patrons the FBI could be snooping around, without actually telling them, as telling them, thanks to the onerous and Orwellian PATRIOT act, is now against the law.
Librarians you see, are deeply offended by such laws and are serious champions of privacy, as well as being deeply techological and wired.
Librarians, you say? Yes.
Why you should fall on your knees and worship a librarian
Big Brother (the FBI) is watching the library as well as everything else.
Jenny, the Shifted Librarian will enlighten you as to why librarians seriously rock.

America tore out 8000 pages of Iraq dossier
“The United States edited out more than 8000 crucial pages of Iraq’s 11,800-page dossier on weapons, before passing on a sanitised version to the 10 non-permanent members of the United Nations security council.
A UN source in New York said: ‘The questions being asked are valid. What did the US take out? And if weapons inspectors are supposed to be checking against the dossier’s content, how can any future claim be verified. In effect the US is saying trust us, and there are many who just will not.’”
Let’s see. We are saying the Iraq dossier is lies, yet we edited out 66% of it before letting other countries view it.
