The PBS staff even managed to run off the director that tried to get rid of the far leftwinger bias. The CIA has been aptly demonstrated to have been taken over by anti Administration people.Message 22506136 That senior Iraqi intelligence officer was Faruq Hijazi, former deputy director of Iraqi Intelligence and longtime regime liaison to al Qaeda. According to several Bush administration officials with access to his debriefings, as well as a top secret Pentagon summary of intelligence on Iraq and al Qaeda known as the FEITH Memo, Hijazi described a face-to-face meeting with bin Laden that took place in 1994. The language in the FEITH Memo corresponds closely to that in the 9/11 Commission staff report. "During a May 2003 custodial interview with Faruq Hijazi, he said in a 1994 meeting with bin Laden in the Sudan, bin Laden requested that Iraq assist al Qaeda with the procurement of an unspecified number of Chinese-manufactured antiship limpet mines. Bin Laden thought that Iraq should be able to procure the mines through third-country intermediaries for ultimate delivery to al Qaeda. Hijazi said he was under orders from Saddam only to listen to bin Laden's requests and then report back to him. Bin Laden also requested the establishment of al Qaeda training camps inside Iraq." Message 21495560 Retired Marine Lt. Gen. Michael DELONG was deputy commander of Central Command during Operation Iraqi Freedom. In September 2004, he told WABC radio that "I do know for a fact that some of those weapons went into Syria, Lebanon and Iran." Message 22581367 Over and over we heard how the FISA court never turns down an application for a warrant. USA Today quoted liberal darling and author James BAMFORD saying: "The FISA court is as big a rubber stamp as you can possibly get within the federal judiciary." He "wondered why Bush sought the warrantless searches, since the FISA court rarely rejects search requests," said USA Today. Message 22029708 THE SCENE is likely based on a harebrained scheme cooked up by the CIA's MICHAEL SCHEUER to snatch bin Laden, rendition him back to Egypt where he would be subject to all sorts of unpleasant inquiries and then disappeared. The FBI's John O'Neill, preferring a law enforcement mode of dealing with terrorism rather than SCHEUER's more war-like stance, got an indictment for Bin Laden in New York (accurately depicted in the show) and the plan was modified to snatch bin Laden and bring him directly to America.
