The abduction of very important figures in the Iranian Armed Forces hierarchy one by one in addition to Askari give credibility to predictions that similar operations are going to continue.
Much attention has been given to the Bush Administration's preparations for possible war against Iran as well as its drive to impose sanctions. Meanwhile, a less noticed policy has been unfolding, one that may in time prove to have grave consequences for the region. There is a covert war underway in Iran, still in its infancy, but with disturbing signs of impending escalation. In the shadowy world of guerrilla operations, the full extent of involvement by the Bush Administration has yet to be revealed, but enough is known to paint a disturbing picture.
JERUSALEM - Israel lifted the veil over its secret services' recruiting practices on Wednesday with a public call for more women and foreign Jews to sign up for sensitive government jobs in information technology.
Israeli officials have been regularly strip-searching children for decades, some of them American citizens.
While organizations that focus on Israel-Palestine have long been aware that Israeli border officials regularly strip search men and women, If Americans Knew appears to be the first organization that has specifically investigated the policy of strip searching women. In the course of its investigation, If Americans Knew was astonished to learn that Israeli officials have also been strip searching young girls as young as seven and below.

LONDON: British Prime Minister Tony Blair defended the war in Iraq as morally justified on Thursday and said the West should stop apologizing for its values.
Blair said the U.S.-led war had brought democracy to the Iraqi people and he blamed the continuing violence in the country on a minority of extremists. The war was part of a global battle against terrorists, he said in an interview with Sky News marking the fourth anniversary of the March 2003 invasion.
Comment: Amazing! He actually used the concepts of morality and values to defend the unjustified murder of more than 655,000 innocent people! What a psychopath!

Comment: So that's the new name for total chaos and the deliberate destruction of a society? "Democracy"? Things have changed a lot since I was in school.
Notice also how the complexity of the violence in Iraq is totally lost with the words "minority of extremists".

March 11th, 2004's train bombings in Madrid were called 'Spain's 9/11' by both the ousted Conservative 'Popular Party' and the government controlled press. The reference to 9/11 was of course an attempt to forge a link in the minds of the Spanish and world populations between the September 11th attacks and the Madrid bombings.

'Turned' double-agents are an unfortunate breed. Caught at a "vulnerable time" in their lives by the enemy, the ones with a conscience live out their days attempting to justify their disloyalty to others and themselves. The conscienceless ones probably don't give it a second thought.
Many of the "Kassam" type rockets that Gaza terrorists use to attack Israel and make life in the Sderot area unbearable are manufactured with Israeli pipes. This information surfaced after the arrest of a Gazan metal trader last month and his interrogation - the details of which were under a gag order until now.
Comment: In other words, Mossad provides the rockets and/or the "terrorists", and tortures Amer Zak, who "confesses" that he "buys" the pipes from Israel.
