Hi Frank - please add the donation to Wilmar for our meeting there.  Also, as I only have email at work, I am asking for reports to be posted by Friday afternoon (if possible).  Thanks. Sarah -----Original Message----- From: X Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 10:10 PM To: Coordination@madpeace.org Cc: X Subject: [MAPC-coord] Coordinating Committee Meeting 11/18/01 Hi all! If this email looks familiar it is because I am trying to help put together a coord comm meeting as well organized as the one Gillam facilitated last week. The next Coordinating Committee meeting will be Sunday, November 18, at 4:00 p.m., at Memorial Union (Check TITU for room location).  I have NOT submitted the room reservation request.  I understand from the minutes that Derek has this covered. IMPORTANT:  If you're an Outie, and you cannot attend, please ensure that someone else from your Working Group/Caucus is at this meeting. As you know, we continually postpone agenda items at our meetings.  As facilitator for the upcoming meeting, I would like to help us move through the agenda more quickly. FIRST:  I am asking each Outie to post his/her Working Group's or Caucus's report to the CC mailing list BY FRIDAY NIGHT.  Your report should be divided into three parts:  (1) update on the WG/C's activities; (2) requests for assistance from other WG/Cs, and (3)  proposals to be acted on by the CC or general membership.  This will enable us to read the updates ahead of time, and focus our meeting time on the requests for assistance and proposals. SECOND:  Anyone with a proposal to present should write it up and send it out to the CC list, again BY FRIDAY NIGHT.  This way, the proponent won't have to spend meeting time explaining the proposal, and we can jump right into questions and discussion. Please note that the success of these measures is dependent both on everyone sending out the advance e-mail reports & proposals AND on everyone reading their e-mail prior to the meeting. I would also like to follow the suggestion that we defer action on all proposals from WGs & Caucus until after all WG/Cs have reported. The proposed agenda for the meeting is as follows: 1.  Introductions & Check-in 2.  Additions/amendments to agenda 3.  Approval of minutes 4.  Working Group & Caucus Reports 5.  Action on Working Group/Caucus Proposals Old Business: 6.  Proposal:  MAPC/SWAIG Newsletter 7.  Proposal:  Peace Draft 8.  Adding at-large CC members New Business: Please let me know if you have any additional items to add; I will print up an updated agenda for distribution at the meeting. Thanks, X P.S.  If you are no longer the Outie for your WG/C, please forward this e-mail to the new Outie.  Thanks. _______________________________________________ coordination@madpeace.org http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-cc _______________________________________________ coordination@madpeace.org http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-cc September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

Perhaps Sarah can set up a meeting for us with X's office, using this information X gave me.  (Sarah:  X seems to know X's last name.) ==================================================================== X was pretty clear that she wanted us to work directly with her D.C. staff in order to have the most effect.  I wrote X to ask for a face to face meeting and talked to him, but haven't done anything since. I think that, if you want to meet with X, you need to contact her office and set something up.  It would probably be a good idea to mention to X that you're calling yourself because I'm no longer participating in MAPC. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp _______________________________________________ policy@madpeace.org http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-policy September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

Good news - the progressives think they could support the resolution AFTER Thanksgiving.  They don't want to act on anything yet, since they said the struggle to change "prayers" to "sympathies" last time was very "divisive." The two-pronged approach doesn't look too promising in this environment. They want the weakest version we presented.  Still, we'll try to submit the text publicly to the Council as soon as possible.  Debate will probably be on 12/4. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp _______________________________________________ discuss@madpeace.org mailing list http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-discuss September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

I'm glad the faux Dalai Lama piece struck a chord with you too. I think we will be walking on eggs as we try to keep a coalition of people who are against the war together with activists who have a lot axes to grind, and most of whom aren't particularly pacifist in their outlook. Which dovetails nicely into what I think about X... "The Left" accumulates a lot of alienated and somewhat disfunctional people, people with behavioral difficulties whose alienation from the mainstream attracts them to the anti-mainstream culture of the left.  Many of these people are exceptionally bright, if poorly socialized.  When they turn the bright light of their intellect upon a situation, the truth is revealed to them and, from that moment forward, the perspectives of others are simply not as important as the perspective they own. Perhaps X's agenda is self aggrandizement, or perhaps he has a political ax to grind, or maybe he is just rude and obnoxious. Regardless, he is on your committee so your challenge seems to be to work with him, work through him or work around him to make the policy committee be the best it can be. I think if someone volunteers for an important assignment (like contacting the Congressman) and they don't follow through or are unsuccessful, then the committee needs to support them and gently spread the responsibility out for getting it done. I guess even if he is an asshole we should treat him like we'd want to be treated.  The dilemma is, how do we remove him as a roadblock and still be kind?  No easy answer. I think you should advertise the next meeting of the policy committee on the MAPC mail list and try to attract a larger number of people so X's BS can be diffused.  What do you think?

Dear friend of AIVF: It's hard to avoid hyperbole, but I thought it was important to try. You may know that the AIVF offices are just eleven blocks north of the World Trade Center. Our offices and staff are unharmed. However, we fear that over the days to come we will learn that many of our colleagues are not. The area is cordoned off, and AIVF offices will remain closed through this week. I know you will understand if events are suspended and the next few issues of The Independent come out a little late. We are not yet sure when we will be able to reopen. Meanwhile, I encourage you -- as citizens who support independent media and hope for responsible reporting of events -- to contact your local news outlets to commend their coverage if you feel it merits such praise. Or, if warranted, to urge news outlets to tone down the bellicose tone of their coverage: it hurts their credibility, and only fans the flames of anger and hate. Likewise, we encourage you to do whatever you can in your community to encourage tolerance and diffuse racial tensions that may escalate. This was a tragic, barbaric act. However, the tragedy will be multiplied if we as a nation react in kind. If this crime incites individuals, and indeed our nation, to commit further acts of aggression against innocent people, then the criminals who have perpetrated this heinous act have achieved a measure of success. We know that Americans are grieved and outraged. We pray that they will find constructive channels of response.

Hello all, As you may already know, I am stepping down as Education/Outreach Outie.  I have been in denial about my returned status as a student and I am stretching myself thin with everything that I wish to accomplish, but my education must come first at this point.  I believe that it would be best for someone to take this position that has the time to focus on it as is needed.  And....we have someone who has decided to do just that.  Her name is X.  Her e-mail is X.  Does she have to manually be put on the coordination e-mail list?  If so, please do that.  I am pretty sure I can remove myself.  She is aware of the meeting this Sunday.  I'll continue to forward her pertinent e-mails from cc until I am sure she is getting them.  Thanks all.  Take care, X _______________________________________________ coordination@madpeace.org http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-cc September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

By ELIZABETH MEHREN TIMES STAFF WRITER October 28 2001 AMHERST, Mass. -- As never before, their dance cards are full. Scholars of peace and diplomacy say that with little effort--and no exaggeration--they could schedule three speaking engagements per night. Elder statesmen of this country's antiwar movement report a similar surge in demand since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Academics who study terrorism or the Middle East are taking part in teach-ins that generally are packed. Off campus, the voices of nonviolence are heard in such places as Worcester, a working-class city where a weekly vigil during rush hour draws cheers from passersby. And in Northampton, where a draft counseling center has opened--even though, at the moment, there is no military draft. Any organized campaign to oppose U.S. military force in Afghanistan "is still in the process of taking shape," said Joseph Gerson of the American Friends Service Committee in Cambridge. But, he said, momentum is building. "It's big and it's diverse," Gerson said. "I think it can be described as a peace movement and an antiwar movement and a justice movement." The energy is evident in increased traffic on the Internet, where new peace sites are complementing existing sources of information about the war. But   along with the vast virtual audience, actual crowds are growing. In longtime centers of peace activity such as Berkeley and Madison, Wis., large demonstrations began before the first bombs were dropped. But New England, long a focal point for activism, is where much of the antiwar action is unfolding. The new pacifism feels almost polite, lacking the stridence of earlier generations of American protest. Resistance to the U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan is thoughtful, reflective. It is tempered by angst, anguish--and most of all, a fundamental abhorrence of what happened to this country when hijackers commandeered four jetliners and killed more than 5,000 people. The focus still is diffuse; there is no monolithic chorus of dissent. No charismatic leaders have yet stepped forward. And if there is a single defining trait, at present it is a thirst for information. With foundations in the vast and growing antiglobalization campaign, the evolving peace movement draws on long-standing, traditional organizations and philosophies. Days after Sept. 11, Quaker groups organized the first peace rallies. The War Resisters League, the Fellowship of Reconciliation and other old-time pacifist groups are back on the radarscope. Again and again, a well-worn chestnut from Mahatma Ghandi--"an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind"--shows up on handouts and bulletin boards. "I'm seeing a lot less of the knee-jerk kind of stuff," said Stephen Zunes, a Middle Eastern specialist who directs the peace and justice studies program at the University of San Francisco. "People are concerned, and they oppose the war. But they realize this is a different kind of situation. They need the facts. They want more information." A recent two-day speaking swing took Zunes from the Bay Area to Los Angeles to Eugene, Ore. His audiences were "big and enthused and agitated, but I think in  more reflective, responsible way than we have seen sometimes." "Certainly there is passion out there, but it is a responsible passion--one that has been tempered by the fact that we witnessed this enormous tragedy on Sept. 11." Boston University history professor Howard Zinn said he has been "besieged" by invitations to speak about terrorism and the war in Afghanistan, with "more requests than I could possibly deal with." At 79, Zinn approaches the stepped-up demand as an eminence grise of the antiwar movement and as a bombardier from World War II. What he sees, Zinn said, is a massive appetite for information and a resistance effort that is fast churning into action. "Things are starting earlier now than they did with the Vietnam War," Zinn said. "In the spring of 1965, we had 100 people on the Boston Common. Just a week or so ago, we had 2,000 people at Copley Square. It's starting earlier, and I believe it will grow. Immediately after Sept. 11, if you talked about American foreign policy as having anything to do with the problem, people were horrified. It was too close. People thought you were diminishing the tragedy. I think as time passes, it will be easier to think in more long-term ways." From the Fields of Revolutionary Past Out here in western Massachusetts, fertile territory for alternative views since the American Revolution, opposition to capitalism and corporate power was already fueling many students. Right away, said professor Michael Klare, head of peace and world security studies at Hampshire College, "protests were organized by students who were already geared up for antiglobalization protests." They have a perspective that makes them distinct from many other undergraduates Klare has encountered in his post-Sept. 11 flurry of speeches and seminars. "Most students don't even have that. They're just bewildered," he said. But some students--and many nonstudents as well--crave involvement as a way to stave off feelings of helplessness. Over lunch one recent day, a table full of Hampshire College students talked about how and why they have plunged into action, forming a local branch of a group born at UC Berkeley on Sept. 12: Students for a Peaceful Response. Their principles of unity, they explained, begin with a condemnation of the attacks of Sept. 11. From there, said 21-year-old Kai Newkirk of Shepardstown, W.Va., "we have the priority of stopping the mass murder of millions. We have a window of a few weeks." Sydney Hoover, 17, a freshman from Upper Coe, Md., said she already was involved in an antiglobalization protest aimed at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. After Sept. 11, that effort hastily shifted focus to initiate a campus dialogue with a group called Activating Peace. The loosely knit group launched nonviolence training seminars and began preparing speakers, Hoover said. With the goal of creating "some kind of visible dissenting presence," they reached out to local high schools and community groups, organized teach-ins and held a daylong walkout at Hampshire, a private school with 1,200 students. The process unfolding at Hampshire reflects a powerfully American quality, said Dale Bryan of the peace and justice studies program at Tufts University, near Boston. "This voice that for many represents rancorous discourse actually it is bona fide, genuine American participation," Bryan said. "It is what the country does well, to assemble and participate freely, and we always have. And sometimes it is directed at the government, and the Constitution says, well, sometimes it should be." For those in "the movement"--a timeworn sobriquet that the peace effort has clung to--"this is how it is being realized: in day-to-day, face-to-face, ordinary conversations," Bryan said. Signs of Growing Opposition in Streets At Lincoln Square in Worcester, an industrial-era city in central Massachusetts, this theory plays out each Tuesday at a street vigil. Mothers, lawyers, clergy, students--the number stays constant at about 50, though the participants change--stand at a busy intersection. They chant, wave signs, hand out leaflets and often hold conversations with people who come to a stop in their cars. Out on the street in his suit and tie, Philip Stone, a 47-year-old attorney, said: "I think this is a fairly typical example of the kind of grass-roots peace activity that you will see going on all over the country. This is a location with high visibility, a place where we can demonstrate that there is thoughtful opposition to the policies of the current administration." Kindergarten teacher Kathleen Connelly Legg, a 45-year-old mother of three, said she never protested during Vietnam and thought hard before showing up at Lincoln Square. She was troubled, Legg said, that "we, as the most powerful nation on Earth, are bombing the most destitute." Though small, the weekly demonstration will help the seeds of a new peace effort to take root, Legg said. "It spreads and it spreads as information gets out. I am hoping we are laying the groundwork for something much larger. I am hoping that we get that kind of time." -- September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

WHINSEC continues to train military personnel of Latin American nations.  But now WHINSEC's stated mission includes training students to provide humanitarian aid, to direct peacekeeping efforts, and to protect individual human rights. To the extent that these are sincere efforts we applaud them.      However, by training Latin American soldiers in tactics of war, WHINSEC promotes and exports violence.  Besides seeking acknowledgement and redress for the terrible deeds of past SOA graduates, we also seek to change the involvement of the US Government in exporting violence, along with promotion of acts reinforcing poverty and increasing economic disparity.  In this regard, we support House Resolution 1810 of the 107th US Congress, which repeals authority for WHINSEC and calls for congressional oversight of future training of Latin American military personnel.

Friday marks the first anniversary of the weekly vigil on the U.W. Library Mall in solidarity with Palestine. None of us, when we began, anticipated that we would be gathering a year later.  Nor did we expect to see that the situation on the ground in the Occupied West Bank and Gaza would be worse. Despite all rhetoric from the Bush administration, the war drive against Afghanistan has allowed the Israelis to escalate their all out attacks on Palestine towns and villages. The level of state terror -- home destructions, assaults on non-combattants, casualties -- has actually increased despite warnings from the US. Our presence, our visibility, our voice is more important than ever at this time when so much attention has been drawn away from Israel/Palestine.  Please come this Friday, any time between 11:30 and 1:00pm.  Bring signs calling for an end to the Occupation and an end to US "aid" to Israel.  Drees in black.

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. I was very concerned and saddened by some of what happened last night in regards to the direction of the peace sign logo "discussion." I have told the Coordinating Committee before and other individuals that I would like to concentrate much of energies on outreach efforts to the greater Madison communities and populations.  I also must say that I've been remiss in not attending the last two 0&E committee meetings because I wanted to specifically bring this topic of connecting with others up to the group. I know there was discussion awhile back about separating the outreach and education components of that committee but it didn't lead to anything I believe because that committee's idea of what outreach was for their tasks was different from what I'm talking about here. I do intend to begin to work on this issue now, don't know if anyone else wants to specifically work on this as well, but that would be great.  If you do, please contact me at my email address or at XXX-XXXX. I also think that we need to do an action you described regarding the racial profiling issue--I was talking about the same thing later last night with my family.  In addition to what you've mentioned that's been going on in this realm, there've been at least 5,000 people who have undergone or are undergoing questioning by our government and also an Executive Order by Bush today or yesterday to establish a military-run terrorist tribunal.  Very heavy-duty activvities! Thanks again for your comments-- X X wrote: [those who were not at tonight's mtg will be a little bewildered but able to understand the general import of this mail] I think a discussion of MAPC's outreach/inclusivity is overdue, but I would like to suggest that we leave the logo out of it for right now, to vastly reduce potential divisiveness of the issue. Table the logo for a week, talk about these important issues of inclusiveness, and then revive the logo discussion without it being a litmus test of any kind.  I'm sure we've all seen it happen before. People who fundamentally mean well and generally agree with each other can get sidetracked into bitter wars over what meanings should be attributed to a symbol or symbolic action. Arguments over differing interpretations degenerate into labeling each others' interpretations in very negative ways. Right now, rather than fighting over the history vs. the perception of the peace sign, we should be focused on taking concrete steps to ensure (1) that everyone who opposes the war feels comfortable working with MAPC and (2) that MAPC's efforts to educate and inform are both respectful and audible to every community in Madison. If the use or non-use of the peace sign has a part to play, it should emerge out of this larger discussion, not be the instrument to open a can of worms.What we really need to examine is: what efforts have been made to build coalitions with various communities in Madison? I know efforts have just started to outreach to labor--excellent & long overdue as well. Have we tried to invite other communities to get involved, or explored ways of networking? When I emailed my contacts in the Muslim Students' Assoc & the Islamic Ctr about the rally this Saturday, they were unaware of any other MAPC effort to involve or even connect with their organizations. So--what has been done so far? What can be done?  Secondly but no less importantly, we need to collect feedback from non-dominant-culture perspectives, whether coalition members or our contacts in various communities, regarding:1) perception of MAPC / anti-war movement in general--relevant? Inclusive?2) things MAPC can do to be *perceived* as more welcoming to anti-war people in various communities 3) things MAPC can do to actually *be* more representative of a variety of views and voices 4) particular ways MAPC can network with community leaders 5) best strategies for each community for outreach on anti-war issues.It seems especially important that MAPC be a haven and firm support for anyone who feels isolated and vulnerable at the moment--whether it be the direct targets of racist scapegoating, or international students from any part of the globe who feel isolated by their anti-imperialist perspectives and/or afraid of the new anti-immigrant laws. So my final recommendation is that our next action should really target issues of racial profiling, Ashcroft's stripping away of immigrants' rights, and the hundreds of people currently in custody over a month without due process. (I was planning to suggest this anyway--it didn't just come up because of tonight's meeting).  Guess that's more than two cents!

From www.blackelectorate.com ********************* Should African Americans Wave The Flag? By:  Donna J. Warren, California Green Party 10/23/2001 Black folks riding around with American flags waving from cars. Black folks thinking maybe racial profiling isn't so bad as long as they're profiling those evil terrorists, the Arabs and the Muslims. Is it really OK for Black folks to ride around with American flags? Is racial profiling now OK when directed to the Arab and Muslim Communities? Recent polls in the Black community show that 60% of African Americans are in favor of racial profiling of the Arab/Muslim community in light of the 911 World Trade bombings. Is racial profiling, a product of insidious American racism, ever justified? Timothy McVeigh--male, white, American, veteran, Michigan militia member, blew up the Oklahoma federal building. America did not racially profile white Americans. America did not advocate blowing up the State of Michigan. The Taliban wants evidence of Osama bin Laden's guilt before they turn bin Laden over to a court. No negotiations says Bush. 'When I said no negotiations, I meant no negotiations. We know he's guilty; turn him over.' Don't need evidence to find bin Laden guilty. Nothing new to South Central LA. Most of the 56,775 inmates in California's prisons under the 3 Strikes Law were convicted with little or no evidence, often on the word of a police officer, or worse still, sentenced to 25 years to life because 5, 10, 15 years or more ago the evidence was a bargained plea. 57% of these prisoners are African American; this in a state that may be 12% African American. California Courts don't need evidence to convict. Simi Valley, 1992, lots of evidence showed 5 white policemen brutally beating and inflicting permanent damage on a Black motorist. The evidence was superfluous because a jury thought Stacey Koon and company were acting in the best interests of the people. Not guilty on all counts. Don't need evidence to convict white police who beat and murder Blacks, need a miracle! The Bill of Rights, that little document which is supposed to govern how we do business in the United States of America, says a person is innocent until proven guilty, and that the accused can face his accuser in a court of law and that the defendant is entitled to a trial by jury - a jury of his peers. "Turn him over, turn his cohorts over, turn any hostage they hold over, destroy all the terrorist camps. ... I told them exactly what they needed to do. There's no need to discuss innocence or guilt. We know he's guilty. Turn him over," said the president selected by the Supreme Court. "They hate our freedoms, our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other." Maybe that's why African Americans wave the flag. Osama bin Laden and all those terrorist Arabs and Muslims hate our freedoms. In 1996, Madeleine Albright, then the US secretary of state, was asked on national television what she felt about the 500,000 Iraqi children who had died as a result of US economic sanctions. It was a 'very hard choice,' but Albright said, 'all things considered, we think the price is worth it.' George Bush the First, Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney, Henry Kissinger, General Colin Powell, General Norman Schwarzkopf, Ronald Reagan, Elliot Abrams, Gerald Ford, and George Bush the Second have supported, trained, bankrolled and supplied with arms the murders of millions in Yugoslavia, Somalia, Bosnia, Sudan, Rwanda, Pakistan, Colombia, Iraq, Lebanon, the Congo, South Africa, My Lai, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Vietnam, East Timor, Angola, Cambodia, Guatemala, Grenada, Libya, Palestine, Afghanistan, and South Central Los Angeles. U.S. terrorism continues to strike in the States - infestation of crack cocaine by the CIA, mandatory minimum sentencing, 3 Strikes, the Prison Industrial Complex, the racist death penalty, institutionalized racism in education, health care, social services, housing, employment. Let's wave our flags for America and stand united with President Bush in pure presumptuous arrogance because "If you're not with us, you're against us". I am an American but until America stops her aggression on my World, until America humbles herself at the table for peace, and until America apologizes for slavery, my African American brothers and sisters will just have to wave that American flag without me. "Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running and robbing the country. That's our problem."

Dear Committee,      Last night we got the mandate from MAPC to float both a stronger "stop the bombing" resolution, and a weaker one (the one posted to the discussion list and handed out last night).      I was somewhat dismayed to realize today that the deadline for filing resolutions for the next meeting is today at noon, or tomorrow at noon for addendum.      So I took the liberty of contacting by e-mail all the alders X suggested we approach (5 or 6).  I presented them with both copies.      The stronger language I inserted was to replace the next-to-last clause with "BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the United States should immediately stop military action against Afghanistan because that is the main obstacle to addressing the humanitarian catastrophe there; and."  Otherwise, it's the same as the one posted to the discussion list.      X got back to me right away saying he needs to take the weekend at least to discuss with his colleagues.  I thanked him.      I'm sorry for acting unilaterally.  The deadline got me panicked.  Now we know we have definitely missed the upcoming 11/6 Common Council meeting. Though on the other hand, we've got the ball rolling.      I'll forward X's response in case you're interested.      I believe there's still room for wordsmithing, so keep me informed on your wishes.

Dear Action and Coordination committees, The Palestine Right to Return Coalition would like to offer the MAPC members a teach-in on the Palestine/Israel conflict X, a graduate student writing his thesis on the conflict and the founder of Alternative Palestinian Agenda, does a 45 minute teach-in that covers the geographical, political, legal, and historical aspect of the conflict.  We believe that there will be an interest among MAPC members and that it would benefit them to have a basic understanding of the issue, if they don't already. Please let me know how this might be set up. I suggest it gets brought up at the next general meeting to see how much interest there is, and then we can set a time somehow.

Hello Friends, What do y'all make of this article from today's Times of India? http://www.timesofindia.com/articleshow.asp?art_id=1030259305 "Bush took FBI agents off Laden family trail" From: The Times of India Nov 9 01 By: RASHMEE Z. AHMED TIMES NEWS NETWORK LONDON: America was itself to blame for the events of September 11 because the US administration was using "kid gloves" in tracking down Osama bin Laden and "other fanatics linked to Saudi Arabia", a special BBC investigation has alleged in a damning indictment of the two presidents Bush and American foreign policy. The report, which the BBC claimed was based on a secret FBI document, numbered 199I WF213589 and emanating out of the FBIs Washington field office, alleged that the cynicism of the American establishment and "connections between the CIA and Saudi Arabia and the Bush men and bin Ladens" may have been the real cause of the deaths of thousands in the World Trade Centre attacks. The investigation, which featured in the BBCs leading current affairs programme, Newsnight, said the FBI was told to "back off" investigating one of Osama bin Ladens brothers, Abdullah, who was linked to "the Saudi-funded World Association of Muslim Youth (WAMY), a suspected terrorist organisation," whose accounts have still not been frozen by the US treasury despite being banned by Pakistan some weeks ago and India claiming it was linked to an organisation involved in bombing in Kashmir". Newsnight said there was a long history of "shadowy" American connections with Saudi Arabia, not least the two presidents Bushs "business dealings" with the bin Ladens and another more insidious link revealed by the former head of the American visa section in Jeddah. The official said he had been concerned about visas issued to large numbers of "unqualified" men "with no family links or any links with America or Saudi Arabia", only to find out later that it "was not visa fraud" but part of a scheme in which young men "recruited by Osama bin Laden" were being sent for "terrorist training by the CIA" after which they were sent on to Afghanistan. In a reiteration of a now well-known claim by one of George W Bushs former business partners, the BBC said he made his first million 20 years ago on the back of a company financed by Osamas elder brother, Salem. But it added the more disturbing assertion that both presidents Bush had lucrative stakes along with the bin Ladens in Carlyle Corporation, a small private company  which has gone on to become one of America's biggest defence contractors. The bin Ladens sold their stake in Carlyle soon after September 11, it said. American politicians later told the BBC programme that they rejected the accusation that the establishment had called the dogs of the intelligence agencies off the bin Ladens and the royal House of Saud because of a strategic interest in Saudi Arabia, which has the world's biggest oil reserve. Note: Carlyle was rated #12 of 100 top USA defense contractors in 1999 dh __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
