Iran Contra 2.0: How the Bush Admin Lied to Congress and Armed Fatah to Provoke Palestinian Civil War Aiming to Overthrow Hamas In its latest issue, Vanity Fair reports that the White House tried to organize the armed overthrow of the Hamas-led goverment after Hamas swept Palestinian elections two years ago. According to the article, the Bush administration lied to Congress and boosted military support for rival Palestinian faction Fatah in the aim of provoking a Palestinian civil war they thought Hamas would lose. Vanity Fair dubbed the episode “Iran Contra 2.0”—a reference to the Reagan administration’s funding of Nicaraguan Contras by covertly selling arms to Iran. We speak with David Rose, the journalist who broke the story. AMY GOODMAN: As Condoleezza Rice, the Secretary of State, arrives in the Middle East, Vanity Fair published a story that raises new questions about the Bush administration’s role in the ongoing crisis. The article reports the White House tried to organize the armed overthrow of the Hamas-led government after Hamas swept Palestinian elections two years ago. ( Read more... ) |

Massacre in Gaza
TO: Distinguished Recipients FM: John Whitbeck The commentary by Patrick Seale transmitted below provides information on Hamas' ongoing efforts to arrange a ceasefire with Israel which I had not previously seen published elsewhere. Saudi Gazette Massacre in Gaza Thursday, 06 March 2008 By Patrick Seale http://www.saudigazette.com.sa
ISRAEL killed 116 Palestinians in Gaza last week in an orgy of air strikes and ground incursions, turning the besieged and starved Strip into an unbearable inferno. Hundreds more Palestinians were wounded. At least half the dead and wounded were civilians, including many young children.
So great was the catastrophe that Egypt, under pressure from an enraged public opinion, opened the Rafah crossing into Sinai and sent 27 ambulances to shuttle scores of badly wounded Palestinians to hospital in Al Arish.

'Very Evil Sociopaths'
 Heinous Crimes Pay in 'Muderabilia' Market$4,500 is the asking price for John Wayne Gacy's original oil painting titled "The Making of Pogo Rick Staton, holding a statue of killer Ed Gein, once sold art by murderer John Wayne Gacy. "It was a brush with deviant celebrity," Staton says. " . . . It's something to tell your grandkids about." (By Sean Gardner For The Washington Post) The Dark Market Of 'Murderabilia' By Neely Tucker
There is a reason we have prisons. One of them is to keep people like Hadden Clark far, far away from the rest of us. You do remember Hadden Clark, don't you? Clark was the cross-dressing schizophrenic from Bethesda who killed 6-year-old Michele Dorr with a butcher knife on May 31, 1986. When he finally took police to the body 13 1/2 years later in Montgomery County's Paint Branch Park, it made national news. He was a serial killer (he also killed 23-year-old Laura Houghteling of Bethesda, and possibly many others) and claimed to be a blood-drinking cannibal. There was a book, lots of television. He's locked up for life, but he hasn't forgotten his fans. From his prison cell in Jessup, Clark peddles drawings of little girls, Bugs Bunny and his prison smock on Web sites that cater to people who want talismans from the murderous, the sadistic and the truly sick. When The Post wrote Clark to ask him how much he made in the business, he wrote back asking for a Girl Scout calendar and pictures of the reporter "when you were a little girl in dresses . . . I love girls." ( Read more... ) |
