CIA Agent Calls For GOP To Cancel Rove Fundraiser Tonight, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove holds a fund-raiser with Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, a Republican hoping to run for the Senate seat of retiring Democrat Paul S. Sarbanes. The Maryland Democratic Party and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee put together a conference call for reporters to hear former CIA operative Larry Johnson (who lives in Bethesda) urge Steele to cancel his fund-raiser featuring Rove, whom he compared to the likes of convicted spy Aldrich Ames. Johnson expressed outrage at Rove's discussing CIA agent Valerie Wilson with reporters — and then went slightly off-message. Johnson touted his Republican credentials by citing his work for Missouri Republican Kit Bond's gubernatorial campaign, Sen. Orrin Hatch's recommendation as part of his CIA application and his proud vote for George W. Bush in 2000 because he was "sick and tired" of having a president who was talking about what the meaning of "is" is.

Bushies are at war with the truth and have been since day one. They've also been at war with the environment, diplomacy, global peace and harmony, balanced budgets, campaign finance reform, ethics in politics, the free press, investigative reporting, war hero candidates and union jobs. However they are no longer at war with Osama Bin Lauden. As Bush said in 2003 "he doesn't concern me anymore".

Croatian and Serbian Books End Up in the Trash (Muslim Bugojno) Slobodna Dalmacija (Free Dalmatia) ^ \| 07-27-05 \| Zvonimir Cilic Bugojno - How much are books worth? Of course, before anything, it depends on the author, the contents, the subject and the market value of the book....but this seems to not be the case in Bugojno! As we learned from citizens of Bugojno, in one garbage container alone, we found 500 books by Croatian and Serbian authors near the Sports and Cultural Centre. The Bugojno City Library recently received funding to renew its contents from the Federal Government and the new books are all written in this new "Bosnian" language. Poor children in Bugojno who search through trash daily came upon this discovery of discarded books and gathered them so as to sell them to people who are interested. They are selling books such as "History of Croatia" for two convertible marks. Croatian returnees expelled from the county during the war have been buying these books so that they do not end up in the trash again. Thanks to these poor children, these books will end up in private collections rather than in the trash, since the authorities deemed that there is no place for them in the city library. The Bugojno authorities claim that there is no favouritism in their rule, but this has been shown to be a lie. Thanks to the circumstances of these children finding these books, a lot of these books will not suffer the fate which Cambodian books suffered under the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot in 1975. Since 1993, a Pol Pot-like Paradigm has resulted in Bugojno under Dzevad Mlaco and his "Khmer Rouge" who have thrown out all books not in the new "Bosnian" so as to start a new history.

The deadly nailbombs meant for London commuters Times Online UK ^ \| July 27, 2005 \| Jenny Booth Transcript of ABC TV interview Shocking new images have emerged of unexploded bombs, some packed around with nails, which were found in a car left behind by the July 7 London bombers. In total, 16 bombs were found in the red Nissan car parked at Luton railway station. It is is believed the car was rented in Leeds by Shehzad Tanweer, one of the four bombers who killed themselves and 52 others in a co-ordinated attack on three London Underground trains and a bus earlier this month. The sheer number of devices has raised fears that the scale of the July 7 bomb plot was much larger than originally imagined. The presence of nailbombs graphically illustrates that the bombing cell wanted to inflict the maximum possible pain, injury and risk of death on innocent London commuters, security analysts say. "You see what is bulging on the sides of the bottle are nails. Many, many nails," said Robert Ayers, a security expert who was shown the pictures by the American ABC News channel last night. "And the nails are put there so that when the bomb goes off, the nails will tear tissue and kill people in the area. Bombs don't kill by concussion. Small bombs, they kill by the blast effects of fragments of glass or metal, and this is designed to kill people." Meanwhile police were continuing to question a man believed to be Yasin Hassan Omar, named by police as one of the would-be terrorists in the attempted second wave of London bombs on July 21. Omar is believed to have been on the run since a bomb failed to detonate on a tube train at Warren St station last Thursday. Three others, whose devices also failed to go off, are also wanted by police. A witness said that the man arrested this morning in Heybarnes Road, Hay Mills, looked like Omar, 24. The man was felled with a Taser stun gun after a scuffle with police officers who raided a house at 04.30. The BBC reported that the man had been wearing a rucksack as he was arrested, although Scotland Yard could not confirm that report. Police found a suspect package and more than 100 nearby homes were then evacuated on Army advice as the bomb squad moved in. The suspect was taken to Paddington Green high security police station in Central London for questioning. Shortly after his arrest, three other men were held in a raid two miles away in Bankdale Road in the Washwood Heath area of Birmingham and are being held by local police. The raids were carried out by 50 officers from the Metropolitan Police Anti-Terrorist Branch and West Midlands Police. No shots were fired. Meanwhile today Luton airport was closed and flights thrown into disarray as a man was arrested under the Prevention of Terrorism Act as he was about to catch a Ryanair flight to the southern French city of Nimes. It was not clear if this was in connection with the bombings. Two other men travelling on a train from Newcastle to King's Cross were arrested last night after the train was stopped at Grantham in Lincolnshire. Police said that the arrests, under the Terrorism Act 2000, followed a tip-off from two off-duty Metropolitan Police officers on the train. Andy Wilkinson, an electrician who lives in Heybarnes Road, Birmingham, said that he saw the suspect being led out in a white forensic suit with his hands bound by plastic ties. He said the suspect looked like Omar but could not confirm that it was him. Mr Wilkinson, 41, said: "It was about 5.10am and all we could hear was a right racket - people trying to break a door down. I looked out of the window and the road was full of armed police and they had got the road closed off. "After 10 or 15 minutes they brought a guy out. He looked like the darkest-skinned one in the photos of the four suspects released by the police - the one with the curly hair. "They had him dressed in one of those white suits. He had plastic cuffs on the front and just after he came out, they brought a woman out and she looked Filipino." Mr Wilkinson said the maisonette property that was raided had been rented for a long time. He said: "According to the old bloke who lives next door, they come and go and they are not there all the time. It’s almost like it’s a letter drop. You don’t see them for three days at a time." Bedfordshire Police said that a man was detained at Luton airport as he prepared to take a flight to Nimes. The flight was delayed for several hours while police checked the aircraft and sparked a major security alert at the airport. Deputy Chief Constable Martin Stuart said: "I would like to reassure everybody that their safety is our priority and apologise for the delay to this flight, but it is important that all calls to the police are thoroughly investigated. Again, we apologise for the inconvenience this has caused." Today's arrests in Birmingham are thought to be of major significance in the hunt for the bombers. Detectives fear they may still be in possession of explosives after reports that on the day after the failed July 21 attacks they returned to the tower block flat rented by Omar that they had used as a bomb factory in New Southgate, North London. It is also understood that police have recovered a large amount of chemical compounds from a lock-up near the tower block which could have been used to make home-made explosives. Two other North London premises, in Finchley and Enfield, were raided by Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist branch this morning, although no arrests were made.
