It can be found on the Drudge site today. Even if true, I'm sure some of the Self-Kinighted regulars on this thread will come up with a theory that some Jews snuck into the woods and started this all with the little nukes they used to destroy the WTC or that, like the airliners, basically holograms put together by Steven Spielberg, all to blame it on these poor helpless terrorists.

FBI: al-Qaeda detainee spoke of fire plot

PHOENIX (AP) — The FBI alerted law enforcement agencies last month that an al-Qaeda terrorist now in detention had talked of masterminding a plot to set a series of devastating forest fires around the western United States.
Rose Davis, a spokeswoman for the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, told The Associated Press that officials there took note of the warning but didn't see a need to act further on it.

The contents of the June 25 memo from the FBI's Denver office were reported Friday by The Arizona Republic. Davis declined to share a copy of the memo and an FBI spokeswoman in Denver didn't immediately return a telephone call.

The Republic reported that the detainee, who was not identified, said the plan involved three or four people setting wildfires using timed devices in Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming that would detonate in forests and grasslands after the operatives had left the country.

The memo noted that investigators couldn't determine whether the detainee was telling the truth.

The newspaper said many forest law enforcement officers it contacted had no idea the warning had been issued.

Greg, google is such a nice little tool that is worth learning how to use :-))

worldnetdaily.com

"The June 25 memo, obtained by the Arizona Republic, warns law enforcement that a senior al-Qaida detainee told interrogators he planned to spark multiple, catastrophic wildfires simultaneously in Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming in order to strike a blow to the United States economy."

'GENEVA AGREEMENT' -  PROBLEMS

MID-EAST REALITIES - MER - www.MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 27 October 2003:     Around the world -- most recently in Malaysia and now in Japan -- they are talking about the 'Israelization' of the U.S.   But not in Washington where it has happened...where essentially a tightly-knit cabal of about a dozen mostly Jewish top-level operatives -- all of whom are long associated with the powerful and extensive Israeli-Jewish lobby in the U.S. -- now pretty much control the Pentagon, the National Security Council, and key media and think-tank positions.    Veteran journalist David Hirst published the article below in The Japan Times last week...apparently The Washington Post, et. al., spiked it as usual.
     The 'Geneva Agreement', though funded by many millions from many places, is already in big trouble it seems.  The Israeli Labor Party 'left' -- the so-called 'Zionist left' -- which is behind the agreement is trying mightily to trap the Palestinians into a mini-controlled-divided-quasi-state for which they will have to give up the crucial 'Right of Return' along with 50+ years of United Nations resolutions and international law...not to mention the legitimacy of their long struggle. 
     But, the increasingly desperate 'Zionist left'  is having trouble finding credible and respected Palestinians to go along.  The two main ones so far -- Yasser Abed-Rabbo and Sari Nusseibah are both so despised they'd be lucky to come out in one piece if they tried to visit a Palestinian refugee camp to discuss their 'peace agreement'.  
     It's telling of course that on the Israeli side you have the former head of the very Shinbet that has created today's ghetto and concentration camp conditions for the Palestinians, as well as the former 'Justice Minister' who was the main interlocutor with White South Africa in the days of Apartheid, pushing hard for the 'agreement' in junkets around the world.   But on the Palestinian side -- even with all the bribes and coercion and treachery -- you have only super-quisling Palestinians who long ago lost the respect and the trust of their own people.  
    The original goal was to 'sign' the agreement with much hoopla and hutzpa in some super ceremony in Geneva, whipping up the international media in a pretense it had great backing and momentum.   That grand plan may be fizzling however and the fall-back may be to go to Jordan again soon and 'sign' the agreement on the anniversary of Yitzhak Rabin's assassination, November 4th.   
     Oh yes, this is the 'break their bones' General Rabin who was Defense Minister during the first Palestinian Intifada when he quite literally ordered the army to break their spirit and their bones simultaneously;  the same Rabin with whom Yossi Beilin has publicly admitted he never even discussed what the final outcome of the 'Oslo Agreement' would be; the same General Rabin who while Prime Minister held a regular secret Friday meeting with non-other-than General Ariel Sharon.    Indeed, it was during Rabin's reign, and then that of his Labor Party successors Peres and Barak from the 'Zionist Left', that everything got much worse for the Palestinians including a doubling of Israeli settlements and settlers across the Green Line, plus the beginnings of today apartheid infrastructure of "'by-pass roads" and walls -- all begun long before Rabin's special friend General Sharon took over the top job.
