September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Educating the public needs to be our number one priority right now, given just how small a minority the anti-war movement is.  MAPC should be disseminating information and analysis on the widest possible basis, and using that information to help bring people into the organization and establish our identify in the community.  As X said at the student teach-in, we need to be thinking in terms of 10,000 copies of our literature, not a few hundred.   Following discussions with the South West Asia Information Group, I am proposing that MAPC & SWAIG publish a joint monthly newsletter.   The newsletter would be published as an 8-page newsprint tabloid.  MAPC would be responsible for content of pages 7 and 8, plus about a quarter of page one.  SWAIG would be responsible for the remaining content.    SWAIG's content would be similar to what was contained in its initial tabloid -- anslysis of the region, the war, and U.S. foreign policy.  MAPC's content would be a calendar of events, information from the various Working Groups on their upcoming activities, reports on past activities, and other content designed to motivate readers to get involved.  Solicitation of donations would also be included.   Approximately 10,000 copies of each issue would be published, requiring a major effort at distribution through literature tables, bundles left at stores, co-ops, etc., passing out at events or to pedestrians, and perhaps even door-to-door distribution in selected neighborhoods.   The printing cost for 10,000 copies of a 8-page tabloid would be approximately $500.00, using the non-union printer that SWAIG used for its tabloid.  (I would prefer to transfer the project to a union shop, preferably Port Publications in Port Washington; this may require an adjustment in either the budget or number of copies.)  This cost would be covered by MAPC.   I would expect that the newsletter would generate $100 to $200 per month in new donations, based on people clipping a donation request coupon.  Another option would be to sell advertisements in the newsletter to supportive businesses, co-ops, and organizations.  (SWAIG opposed this option, based on possible conflicts with the Madison Insurgent.  I will be meeting with the Insurgent collective to discuss whether they would in fact have objections to this.)   If finances do not permit monthly publication, Plan B would be for alternating between the tabloid and a 2-page, 8.5 by 11, smaller circulation, newsletter containing only MAPC organizational info.   Because MAPC's contribution to the content would reflect the activities of all of the Working Groups, I believe that the newsletter should be coordinated at the CC level.  (I ran this past O&E, who agreed.)  Options for filling the newsletter editor position would include:   (a)  One of the existing CC members could take on this project.   (b)  A new at-large CC position could be created   (c)  A Newsletter Working Group could be created; or   (d)  A volunteer who is not officially on the CC. but is willing to attend CC meetings, could be located.   X September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

SPONSORS: [Alders names here.] WHEREAS, a disastrous humanitarian crisis is underway, with an estimated 7.5 million people in Afghanistan facing critical food shortage or outright starvation this winter; and WHEREAS, 70 percent of these people are women and children, and the UN estimates 400,000 children under five will likely die this year, an increase of over 30 percent from last year; and WHEREAS, food aid shipments have been disrupted due to security concerns around U.S. military actions in Afghanistan; and WHEREAS, the aid agencies active in the region, including the Nobel laureate Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Oxfam International and the World Food Program have stated that the U.S. food drops can not meet the increasing and urgent need for assistance; and WHEREAS, Madison now participates directly and indirectly in U.S. military efforts through many channels, including the federal taxes its citizens pay, and through its citizens' participation in the armed forces; and WHEREAS, the Mayor and Common Council are appalled at the mass starvation that will result from these actions to which they are a party if the situation is not speedily addressed, and also appalled at the dishonor such an outcome would be for the victims of the terrorist attacks of September 11th; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Common Council urge a resolution to the situation that minimizes loss of life; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT humanitarian concerns must now be a top priority for U.S. policy toward Afghanistan, especially as there exists a narrow window of opportunity for supplying food to the region's population before winter makes this difficult or impossible; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Afghanistan's neighbors should immediately reopen their borders to allow for the safe passage of refugees, and the international community must be prepared to contribute to the economic costs incurred by the flight of desperate Afghan civilians; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the United States must actively support the work of various agencies to deliver assistance in Afghanistan, particularly through overland truck convoys, and support safe humanitarian access to affected populations, in partnership with humanitarian agencies in quantities sufficient to alleviate a large scale humanitarian catastrophe; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the United States should contribute to efforts by the international community to provide long-term, sustainable reconstruction and development assistance for the people of Afghanistan, including efforts to protect the basic human rights of women and children; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the United States should support democratic processes in Afghanistan leading to a government which represents all its people, including women.

X -----Original Message----- From: X [mailto:X]On Behalf Of X Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 9:06 AM To: X Subject: Re: [MAPC-policy] revised city resolution Beautiful!  Thanks for your work on this, X.  The "Madison now participates directly and indirectly in U.S. military efforts" is a good way to change the wording to state why Madison has the right to comment on these matters, while not expressing support or acceptance for the bombing.  One more suggestion, below. I apologize if this conversation happened at our last meeting (which I missed) but have we discussed at all what sort of changes we'd support and which ones we wouldn't?  For myself, I think it's important that we insist that no language supporting the bombing be added.  There's other possibilities we should think of as well, though they'll likely come up in our conversations with alders. Also, when we all agree on the wording, we should give this a run by the whole MAPC, with an intro on why we feel the humanitarian angle is the best and most productive one to take with the City Council.  I'm expecting we'll hear some disappointment from people who want us to push a politically unviable stop the bombing resolution.  But maybe I'm wrong on that (it's happened once or twice before, you know). -X > Dear Policy Committee, > > Due to my own error, I have so far failed utterly at getting myself on > the policy e-mail list.  However, 30 minutes ago I discovered the list > archive on the web site, and now I am up-to-date! > > Thank you for your comments!  Wonderful! > > I incorporated your suggestions.  More edits may be in order--feel free > to suggest more edits. > > After one more round, perhaps we can bring it around to alders--I'll > wait for the policy committee's OK. > > Below is the current draft.  Send me further suggestions for changes. > > Best Regards, > X > > ================================================================= > A RESOLUTION regarding the urgent need to provide emergency humanitarian > assistance and development assistance to civilians in Afghanistan, including > Afghan refugees in surrounding countries. > > > SPONSORS:    [Alders names here.] > > > WHEREAS,    a disastrous humanitarian crisis is underway, with an estimated 7.5 > million people in Afghanistan facing critical food shortage or outright > starvation this winter; and > > WHEREAS,    70 percent of these people are women and children, and the UN > estimates 400,000 children under five will likely die this year, an increase > of over 30 percent from last year; and > > WHEREAS,     food aid shipments have been disrupted due to security concerns > around U.S. military actions in Afghanistan; and > > WHEREAS,    the aid agencies active in the region, including the Nobel laureate > Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Oxfam International and the World Food > Program have stated that the U.S. food > drops can not meet the increasing and urgent need for assistance; and > > WHEREAS,    Madison now participates directly and indirectly in U.S. military > efforts through many channels, including the federal taxes its citizens pay, > and through its citizens' participation in the armed forces; and > > WHEREAS,    the Mayor and Common Council are appalled at the mass starvation > that will result from these actions to which they are a party if the > situation is not speedily addressed, and also appalled at the dishonor such > an outcome would be for the victims of the terrorist attacks of September > 11th; > > NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Common Council urge a > resolution to the situation that minimizes loss of life; and > > BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT humanitarian concerns must now be a top priority > for U.S. policy toward Afghanistan, especially as there exists a narrow > window of opportunity for supplying food to the region's population before > winter makes this difficult or impossible; and > > BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Afghanistan's neighbors should immediately > reopen their borders to allow for the safe passage of refugees, and the > international community must be prepared to contribute to the economic costs > incurred by the flight of desperate Afghan civilians; and * in the previous clause, I would change to "...and the U.S. and other members of the international community must be prepared..."

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Broken Arrow, Oklahoma School officials removed "God Bless America" signs from schools in fear that someone might be offended. Channel 12 News in Long Island, New York, ordered flags removed from the newsroom and red, white, and blue ribbons removed from the lapels of reporters. Why? Management did not want to appear biased and felt that our nations flag might give the appearance that "they lean one way or another". Berkeley, California bans U.S. Flags from being displayed on city fire trucks because they didn't want to offend anyone in the community. In an "act of tolerance" the head of the public library at Florida Gulf Coast University ordered all "Proud To Be An American" signs removed so as to not offend international students. I, for one, am quite disturbed by these actions of so-called American citizens, and I am tired of this nation worrying about whether or not we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on September 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled in New York and Washington D.C. when the "politically correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America. In fact, our country's population is almost entirely comprised of descendants of immigrants; however, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some native Americans, need to understand. First of all, it is not our responsibility to continually try not to offend you in any way. This idea of America being a multi-cultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language, and our own lifestyle. This culture, called the "American Way" has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. Our forefathers fought, bled, and died at places such as Bunker Hill, Antietam, San Juan, Iwo Jima, Normandy, Korea, and Vietnam. We speak English,--not Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society - learn our language! "In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some off-the-wall, Christian, Right Wing, political slogan - it is our national motto. It is engraved in stone in the House of Representatives in our Capitol and it is printed on our currency. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation; and this is clearly documented throughout our history. If it is appropriate for our motto to be inscribed in the halls of our highest level of Government, then it is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. God is in our pledge, our National Anthem, nearly every patriotic song, and in our founding documents. We honor His birth, death, and resurrection as holidays, and we turn to Him in prayer in times of crisis. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture and we are proud to have Him. We are proud of our heritage and those who have so honorably defended our freedoms. We celebrate Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Flag Day. We have parades, picnics, and barbecues where we proudly wave our flag. As an American, I have the right to wave my flag, sing my national anthem, quote my national motto, and cite my pledge whenever and wherever I choose. If the Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. The American culture is our way of life, our heritage, and we are proud of it. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. We are Americans, like it or not, this is our country, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion about our government, culture, or society, and we will allow you every opportunity to do so. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great American freedom--the right to leave. It is time to take a stand!!! If you agree, pass this on to other Americans!! September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Hello, all in coordination.  Great stuff you've all been sending regarding what's going on for this week, and in general.  Exciting.  We are going forth with the November 30th event, and I'm going to bring each committee a "to-do" item, or a few, at the meeting on Sunday.  For now, I wanted to get you a quick outline of our plan so that you have something to print or distribute on the event, so your people know what they're doing these tasks for.  Attached is the "rough" flyer we're distributing.  We will be developing a nicer one when more of the acts, etc, are firmed up. Here is the basic plan for the event: --set up from 5-6 at Lapham Elementary School, East Dayton Street. (1045, I believe.) --Event from 6-9.  We are targeting families and "mainstream." the name of the event is "People for People, People for Peace." --Main focus on the event is the gathering of items and assembly of kits for refugees fleeing Afghanistan.  We are encouraging the donation of blankets, cash, and of school supplies for the "school kit" that the MCC distributes to refugee camps. --We will have live acoustic musical entertainment, and some kids acts --TBA. --We will have free refreshments, donated. --We will have booths with information and petitions, buttons for sale, canvasing materials, visuals on the refugees who we're helping.  (This is where most of your committees come in -- more info at the meeting) --We will have mural painting, on canvas.  Any ideas for where we could display the mural after it's done? --We will have the assembly and decoration of kit bags going on for kids to pitch in on, to engage them in helping the refugees.  We will put the school kit donated items inside... --From 9-10:30 or so, we will have break-down and delivery of goods to a local group who will be sending items to MCC in Indiana later that week. That's the overview.  Look forward to seeing you Sunday. X You Can Help Stop Terrorism Before It Starts! Terrorism is a tactic of desperate people. The Taliban was born and bred in the miserable refugee camps of Pakistan. Today 2 million more Afghanis are expected to join these camps and others like them in Iran. Will they too live for years in poverty, lacking food, shelter, medical care, schooling and hope? Will they become recruits for terrorism? Please join the Madison Area Peace Coalition for their holiday season People for People, People for Peace Event a celebration of giving, Friday, November 30, 2001, 6-9 p.m. Lapham Elementary School Come enjoy entertainment, refreshments, and the good spirits of giving people! Bring the whole family! Lots of fun stuff and important learning opportunities for kids! This event is free just bring your donations for the refugees in desperate need. We are gathering the following items to be sent to the Mennonite Central Committee, a well-respected charity that has been distributing to refugee camps for over eighty years. Clean Blankets Money donations, checks written to the Mennonite Central Committee Supplies for school kits for refugee children: #2 pencils crayons or colored pencils spiral notebooks, letter size erasers plastic rulers A Better Kind of Holiday Shopping! Give the Gift of Crucial Help to Desperate Refugees. Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, do you find yourself feeling less enthusiastic about buying and receiving holiday gifts? Does watching the plight of Afghani refugees make you want to share our relative wealth with the millions of people there who are in danger of freezing and starving to death? Come join us for this celebration of giving and help these people who are in such need. September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

With all due respect, the folks on the co-ordinating committee may not be aware of this, but I would like to note that the action committee has a plan for emergency actions, including each of us having specific jobs assigned for every detail. If someone unilaterally comes up with a whole new plan at the last moment, that means starting over from scratch to (1) discuss the plan and (2) assign people to implement it--all within a few hours. In my opinion: huge waste of time. If we are to have emergency actions (which I understand is an if) we need to stick to the plan--or make a new one *in advance*--so that the only thing left to do when the action is called, is implement it. I am not attached to the existing plan, but whatever the plan is we shouldn't try to alter it at the last second. Discussion? Disagreement? Pies in the face? My intent is not to offend but to be efficient and avoid saddling any individual with an overwhelming burden of organizing everything. Regarding the very concept of emergency actions, I think the AC was thinking about events that would be so overwhelmingly dramatic/traumatic that there would be an overwhelming desire to get out there and do something. I definitely don't think anyone was imagining that there should be emergency actions at every turn. Probably we should remove "invasion" from the list of actions and stick to (1) extension of bombing to a new country, (2) murder or arson in our community or (3) another massive violent attack on US soil with instant mass casualties. I'm also open to dropping the whole concept. Whatever you all think. X September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

IN THIS MESSAGE: The Liberty for US War Criminals Act; Pakistan Panics Over Threat to Arsenal; The War We Cannot Win; War on Terror Becomes War on Afghanistan http://www.ahram.org.eg/weekly/2001/558/4war1.htm Al-Ahram Weekly Online        Issue No.558              1 - 7 November 2001 Alienable Rights      The American Service-members Protection Act (ASPA) authorises      the US to use force to "liberate" any US or allied persons detained on      behalf of the proposed International Criminal Court (ICC), which will be      based in The Hague, Netherlands.      By Amira Howeidy  We all knew it was coming. Last Friday, US President George W Bush signed an anti-terrorism bill that proposes sweeping new powers for the FBI, extending the agency's ability to search citizens, wire-tap telephone lines and eavesdrop on the Internet. The period of detention allowed for a foreign citizen suspected of terrorist activities has also be increased. The bill -- which has raised concerns over the meaning of civil liberties in the post 11 September age -- came as no surprise to rights advocates in the US and elsewhere. The US-led alliance's "war on terrorism," now in the fourth week of its offensive against Afghanistan, bypassed internationally-recognised channels of legitimacy such as the United Nations and its Security Council. The result: hundreds or perhaps thousands of Afghan civilians may have been killed (no accurate numbers have been released because the Pentagon says it still doesn't know). But the "war on terror" has meant more than the loss of innocent lives: it has included a myriad of other measures. The blocking of information and images from the war in Afghanistan from reaching the American public, for example. There has also been widespread discrimination against Arabs (and other people of Middle Eastern appearance) both by officials (at Western airports and airlines) and by the Western public. Approximately 900 "suspects" -- most of whom are Arabs-- have been arrested in relation to the 11 September attacks. In the struggle against "terror," several laws have been bypassed, leading to what civil liberties advocates have described as a serious threat to human rights. The media debate on the choice between "freedom" and "security" -- which is raging in Germany and elsewhere -- reflects the chilling options now facing Western societies. But has the choice been made already? FBI and Justice Department investigators, frustrated by their failure to extract confessions from four suspects, are contemplating resorting to "pressure" according to a report in the Washington Post on 21 October. Among the alternative strategies under discussion are extracting information using drugs or other pressure tactics, such as those occasionally employed by Israeli interrogators, according to the article. Another idea is to extradite suspected terrorists to US-allied countries in which security services can employ threats to family members or resort to torture. And last Sunday, the same newspaper reported that the CIA is contemplating pursuing an assassination policy of individuals -- a policy that could extend beyond Bin Laden and members of Al-Qa'ida. Meanwhile, the US State Department -- taking advantage of the frenzy and confusion that followed the terrorist acts -- endorsed the American Service-members Protection Act (ASPA) on November 5. The legislation authorises the US to use force to "liberate" any US or allied persons detained on behalf of the proposed International Criminal Court (ICC), which will be based in The Hague, Netherlands. It also prohibits US military assistance to those states that ratify the ICC treaty except for NATO members and some major non-NATO allies. The New York based Human Rights Watch described the new law as an attempt to undermine the establishment of a permanent war crimes court. "The United States is forging a global coalition against terrorism, and the State Department has just endorsed a bill that authorises an invasion of the Netherlands," said Richard Dicker, director of the International Justice Programme at HRW. "This makes no sense. It hardly seems like a good moment for the US to be threatening sanctions against dozens of countries simply because they want to bring to justice the perpetrators of crimes against humanity." For many, it is difficult to find any sense in this new reality. The US Coalition's use of force, for example, appears to be contrary to established international law. This is the case according to William Schabas, director of the Irish Centre for Human Rights. "The use of force is prohibited by the United Nations Charter (art. 2 (4)), except in two circumstances: self defence (art. 51) and Security Council action under Chapter VII (art. 42)," says Schabas. "It does not allow the use of force for the purpose of "retaliation." Schabas told Al- Ahram Weekly that "the US-led alliance seems to find support for its action by invoking the right of self-defence rather than the right to retaliate. This is a broad and exaggerated interpretation of the right of self-defence." Normally, he argued, a person (or a state) acting in genuine self-defence is very clear in explaining and justifying its behaviour on this basis. "But the US and UK, with their talk of retaliation, reprisal, 'bringing terrorists to justice' and so on, invoke grounds that are not really compatible with the concept of self-defence." Schabas acknowledged that the US does enjoy self-defence rights but pointed out that its actions must be conditioned by "proportionality" and by what is necessary to protect itself from attack. In his words, "the US seems to be taking a view that in the name of the war on terrorism it has the right to attack (or 'counterattack') any country it suspects of being insufficiently unsympathetic to terrorism. In effect, this is the legal window dressing of the pax Americana, a justification to attack any country that the US doesn't like, and at any time." To Schabas, one of the unfortunate consequences of all of this is the "marginalisation of the United Nations, which should in fact be taking the lead according to its noble role under the UN Charter." Perhaps it was with this super-power mentality in mind that the US Congress adopted the anti- terrorism bill. According to the American Civil Liberties Union Freedom Network (ACLU), "the bill was adopted in near record time with only one public hearing and little debate." "All this will have terrible repercussions," was the response of International Law Professor Kamal Abul-Magd. "If the law doesn't give you protection, you are more likely to take the law in your hands." To observers in the Middle East, the new US laws seem to be a glaring paradox. In this part of the world, the anti-terrorism bill sounded like all- too-familiar a tune. "It's almost identical to the 'emergency laws' faithfully adopted by Third World regimes," says Dawoud Al-Shoryan, a columnist for the London-based Arabic daily Al- Hayat. For many years, the US State Department's Human Rights desk has itself issued annual reports clearly condemning such governments and their "freedom tying" policies, human rights abuses and violations in the name of the emergency law. To El-Shoryan and many others, it seems like the US is now taking such "backward regimes" as their role model. He expressed fear that the American "emergency law" will eventually "become an incubator that will lead to similar laws being issued in several other countries, if Washington seeks to extend its application within its anti-terrorism coalition." It may not be all doom and gloom, however. After all, says Rights Activist Gasser Abdel- Razek, a stronger global movement seems to be emerging as a result of the September 11 attacks. "It will take different forms, understandably, such as anti-war, human rights, environmental, and anti-globalisation," said Abdel-Razek. "But it will definitely be more critical of Western (that is, US) hegemony, even if its supporters don't call it that." ==================================================== The Sunday Times (London)                                November 4, 2001 Pakistan panics over threat to arsenal      By Tony Allen-Mills Washington Fears of fundamentalist upheaval in Pakistan have aroused concerns in Washington that part or all of Islamabad's arsenal of nuclear weapons may have to be moved to China for safekeeping from foreign attack. Pakistan's military establishment was said last week to have been shaken by reports that America, India or Israel might be planning pre-emptive strikes on nuclear sites to prevent weapons falling into fundamentalist hands. "The generals are panic-stricken," said one Pakistani source. The threat to weapons widely regarded as the Pakistan military's "crown jewels" has forced Islamabad to consider what one American expert described as the "ultimate worst-case scenario" of removing warheads to China, Pakistan's closest strategic ally in the region. The prospect that loose warheads might be loaded onto helicopters or moved around a region foaming with fundamentalist turmoil is adding to fears in Washington that the war in Afghanistan might provoke a nuclear crisis. Abdul Sattar, the Pakistani foreign minister, insisted last week the arsenal was secure. But Washington officials have expressed mounting alarm that any coup attempt against General Pervez Musharraf, the military president, might put Pakistan's nuclear arsenal at risk. Pakistani generals were appalled by one authoritative American report last week that an elite Pentagon undercover unit, trained to disarm nuclear weapons, was exploring plans for a mission inside Pakistan. "Every paranoid fear they have had over the past 20 years about people coming to get our missiles is suddenly coming to the fore," said Zia Mian, a Pakistani physicist and authority on the nuclear programme. China's nuclear relations with Pakistan have long been the focus of controversy. Chinese scientists are believed to have played a key role in developing Pakistan's nuclear programme in the early 1980s. The two countries share a mistrust of India, which has also developed nuclear weapons. In the 1990s relations between Beijing and Washington were strained when American officials discovered that China had supplied Islamabad with magnetic components for a centrifuge used in enriching uranium, a material used in warheads. US experts believe that Pakistan possesses between 30 and 50 warheads. Islamabad has also developed facilities for making weapons-grade plutonium. The precise locations of Pakistan's nuclear weapons are highly secret. Several Washington sources said last week that senior Pakistani officers had been forced to consider a range of scenarios, from thefts of weapon materials to US bombing raids on nuclear facilities. The arrest in Pakistan of three nuclear scientists with alleged Taliban sympathies heightened concern that bomb-making secrets may have leaked to Afghanistan. But even under extreme duress, several US sources said, many elements of the Pakistani military would resist surrendering custody of their warheads to China. The risks of any deal with China are obvious. China is certain to be deeply wary of being linked to fundamentalist conflict. Yet American experts believe that Beijing represents the only haven that Pakistan would dare to trust. In a bid to defuse concern, US officials are understood to have offered Pakistan high-tech assistance to improve the security of missile vaults and update both command and control communications, and the multiple-code custody arrangements that theoretically prevent rogue missile launches. The issue was discussed by General Colin Powell, the US secretary of state, during his recent visit to Pakistan. A State Department official said last week Washington was "confident that Pakistan is taking steps to assure the safety of these (nuclear) assets". But other American sources said Pakistan was reluctant to accept US technology for fear that it might be bugged by the CIA in order to establish the whereabouts of warheads. The threat that Osama Bin Laden may acquire nuclear bomb-making materials is weighing heavily on American officials. "Nobody in the Bush administration wants to be held responsible if Al-Qaeda gets a nuke," said George Perkovich, an Asian nuclear programme expert, who has urged the State Department to include China in talks on Pakistan's nuclear problems. "They are working their asses off on this," he said. ======================================================= http://www.msnbc.com/news/652509.asp#BODY November 5, 2001 Priority: Pakistan's Nukes      If Taliban sympathizers overthrow Pervez Musharraf's regime,      U.S. Marines are standing by to move in      By John Barry, Newsweek International Nov. 12 issue - The 2,200 troops of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit are cooped up on the assault ship USS Peleliu, presumably itching for action. If they ever go ashore, it's as likely to be in Pakistan as Afghanistan. Given serious trouble in Pakistan - if, say, President Pervez Musharraf were overthrown by forces friendly to the Taliban and Osama bin Laden - the Marines would be charged with protecting and evacuating Americans and other Westerners. But sources have told Newsweek the Marines could also be sent on a more momentous and desperate mission: safeguarding Pakistanís nuclear weapons and materials, to keep them away from bin Laden. Whether the Marines would actually be needed for such a task, and whether they could pull it off, remains unclear. Sources say Musharraf has strengthened security at Pakistanís nuclear facilities since September 11. Last week his foreign minister, Abdul Sattar, insisted the nukes were "under foolproof custodial controls." Musharraf also has purged Taliban sympathizers from the top ranks of the military and his intelligence agency. But recently the military regime had to detain two scientists who played key roles in the development of Pakistan's nuclear weapons - and turned out to be Taliban supporters. The two men, Bashir ud Din Mahmoud and Chowdhury Mohammed Amjad, retired after Pakistan's nuclear test in 1998 and founded an Afghan relief organization. What they could offer bin Laden, in theory, is inside knowledge of the Pakistani nuclear program - security procedures, the number and location of warheads and the names of current staff members who might be sympathetic to Al Qaeda. By one estimate, Pakistan has enough nuclear material to make 30 to 50 bombs or warheads. How many have actually been made isn't known, but even unassembled parts could be dangerous. A "radiological weapon" - a conventional explosive device used to scatter radioactive particles - would be nearly as devastating as an actual nuclear bomb, producing fallout that could render an American city uninhabitable for years. The material could come from a weapons program or a civilian facility, such as a nuclear power plant. Pakistan's nuclear weapons are dispersed across several secret locations, and some elements of the armed forces surely would resist any attempt by foreigners to take control of them. But if it comes to that, a shootout with Pakistan might be preferable to nuclear terrorism in the United States. With Tony Clifton, Ron Moreau and Zahid Hussain in Islamabad ======================================================= Dear EmailNation Subscriber, An internationally acclaimed author of eighteen novels, John LeCarre is also an astute political observer. In an exclusive essay published in the November 19, 2001 issue of The Nation, LeCarre insists that the US's current war on terrorism, rather than vanquishing the terrorist threat, is in fact likely to increase it. As he writes, "What America is storing up for herself...is yet more enemies; because after all the bribes, threats and promises that have patched together the rickety coalition, we cannot prevent another suicide bomber being born each time a misdirected missile wipes out an innocent village, and nobody can tell us how to dodge this devil's cycle of despair, hatred and -- yet again -- revenge."

The substitution of Afghanistan for terrorism, or the identification of the one with the other, is not only unjust but diverts U.S. policy from where it was intended to go, to where it is the most simple to go. Afghanistan has been substituted for terrorism because Afghanistan is accessible to military power, and terrorism is not. The employment of high-tech munitions against irrelevant targets is a distraction from measures that actually deal with the threat. "War" is feasible against Qaida, the clandestine association of like-minded Muslim fundamentalists led by Osama bin Laden, because it is a matter of police and intelligence work. Remarkable progress has been made during the last four weeks, thanks to unprecedented international cooperation. However, Qaida is not identical with terrorism. Nor is bin Laden himself, even though Washington has cast him as the personification of evil. Terrorism is simply a form of violent political action, with political motives and objectives, and it is a recurrent phenomenon in history. Washington's inability to track down and seize or kill bin Laden is why the Taliban government has been substituted as America's enemy. The Kabul government's defiance is in turn responsible for the situation of frustration in which the United States finds itself, and which threatens to prove a damaging setback in more than one respect. Fear of American air attacks have provoked a huge exodus of refugees from Afghanistan. The country is already suffering the consequences of a drought that has crippled its agriculture. The attacks themselves have made it all but impossible for relief agencies to go into the country. Misdirected bombings that have twice hit International Red Cross relief depots add to the misery the United States is inflicting upon these people, and for which international opinion holds it responsible. The utility of the bombings is hard to defend. It was believed able to bring down the Taliban government, but that is not happening. There is no reason whatever to expect more bombs to make the Taliban authorities hand over bin Laden. The administration itself lacks confidence that an eventual ground expedition will seize him; Afghanistan is not Panama. The original plan depended less on bombing than on organization of the existing military and political opposition; cutting off the support Pakistan was giving to the regime; and enlistment of the country's other neighbors, including Iran, all with ethnic or religious clients inside Afghanistan. The authority of the former king and the United Nations was to underwrite a new coalition government. This plan has suffered a series of setbacks, and official Washington is rapidly losing interest in political solutions. There is an increasing disposition toward brute force, and the use of whatever allies are at hand, even if that threatens to leave Afghanistan in chaos, and the war on terrorism stranded. One might think it sensible to change a policy that is failing, but that is not the case in a government whose primordial motivation is to appease Congress and the media. Although bin Laden has not been found, operations against Qaida seem to be going well. An extensive apparatus for tracking terrorist communications, organizations and funding is being put into place. The United States and its allies could take advantage of these successes, and of the arrival of Ramadan and Afghanistan's harsh winter to suspend the bombings. The situation in Afghanistan and among Washington's Muslim allies could be allowed to evolve over the winter months. The result might prove constructive. Washington might take the time to reflect on its responsibility, which is to deal intelligently with the terrorist threat to the United States. Bin Laden and his group are merely instances of that threat. If he is killed, he will be replaced. The causes of terrorism will remain, and they are political. Afghanistan and its people are no threat to the United States, but they are th e ones taking the full weight of America's indignation. The administration's priorities are upside-down.
