Re: Those billions of missing dollars that supposedly go to Halliburton go right into Cheney's bank accounts in 'Old Europe'. Do you happen to have any URLs to point me to on this accusation? I've done a pretty good job of keeping up with the websites on related subjects, such as CorpWatch's WarProfiteers.org, but I haven't seen this particular claim before. Any help appreciated. *** On a related note, I have built a new bibliography on a troubling development coming out of DoD, a new nasty called P2OG: P2OG – Proactive Preemptive Operations Groups – U.S. Dept. of Defense – Bibliography _Revision date: May 30,2005 · Project Censored 2005: projectcensored.org Links to William Arkin’s brief 2002 L.A. Times article and followup by Chris Floyd of the Moscow Times (via Counterpunch). · World War Four: ww4report.com “The Provocateur State” by Frank Morales Snip: “According to a classified document prepared for Rumsfeld by his Defense Science Board, the new organization--the "Proactive, Preemptive Operations Group (P2OG)"--would actually carry out secret missions designed to provoke terrorist groups into committing violent acts. The P2OG, a 100-member, so-called "counter-terrorist" organization with a $100-million-a-year budget, would ostensibly target "terrorist leaders," but according to P2OG documents procured by Arkin, would in fact carry out missions designed to "stimulate reactions" among "terrorist groups"--which, according to the Defense Secretary's logic, would subsequently expose them to "counter-attack" by the good guys. In other words, the plan is to execute secret military operations (assassinations, sabotage, "deception") which would intentionally result in terrorist attacks on innocent people, including Americans--essentially, to "combat terrorism" by causing it!” · Center for Cooperative Research: tinyurl.com Snip: Proactive, Preemptive Operations Group, (P2OG) - The unit would provoke terrorist cells into action, perhaps by stealing their money or tricking them with fake communications, in order to expose them. The exposed cells would then be taken care of by “quick-response” teams. The US would use the revelation of such cells as an opportunity to hold “states/sub-state actors accountable” and “signal to harboring states that their sovereignty will be at risk.” The P2OG would require at least $100 million and about 100 people, including specialists in information operations, psychological operations, computer network attack, covert activities, signal intelligence, human intelligence, special operations forces and deception operations. According to the DSB, it should be headed by the Special Operations Executive in the White House's National Security Council. But according to sources interviewed by United Press International (UPI), people in the Defense Department want to see the group under the Pentagon's authority.
