US leak of Zarqawi letter riles Israelis - Sunday Times (UK) - 4/9/2006

[Coastie for Truth]

ISRAELI military intelligence officials have accused President George W Bush’s administration of undermining their attempts to infiltrate Al-Qaeda’s operations in Iraq by revealing the contents of a secret letter written by Osama Bin Laden’s second-in-command, writes Uzi Mahnaimi.

Israel passed the letter — in which Ayman al-Zawahiri outlined his Middle East strategy to Abu Musab al- Zarqawi, the Al-Qaeda leader in Iraq — to Washington last October on condition of strict anonymity.

Israeli officials were dismayed, however, when John Negroponte, the US director of national intelligence, made it available in both English and its original Arabic on his office web site.

Bush then referred to it during his weekly address. “The Al-Qaeda letter points to Vietnam as a model,” the president declared. “Al-Qaeda believes that America can be made to run again. They are gravely mistaken. America will not run and we will not forget our responsibilities.”

Also noted in the article is that Israeli intelligence sources said officials who had worked on “Operation Tiramisu” inside Iraq took emergency steps to protect their sources, but it was not clear how successful they had been in averting the damage to their intelligence network.

It was reported that Bush’s indiscretion had undone months of painstaking effort.

So, just like Jonathan Pollard (in the mirror) and Liberty (in the mirror), Bush's man, John Negroponte compromises the methods and sources of intelligence on Al-Qaeda, intelligence that would save US lives.

The real enemy isn't the LIHOP/MIHOP house painters in Jersey City or Jonathan Jay Pollard - or AIPAC. It is Bush - Cheney - Rummie - Negroponte.

1. Are you implying these guys are enemies ... they just aren't the REAL

enemies?

"The real enemy isn't the LIHOP/MIHOP house painters in Jersey City or Jonathan Jay Pollard - or AIPAC."

2. You don't really believe this stuff do you?

Israeli intelligence is publicizing the exposure of their agents?
Publicizing their activities in Muslim countries?

These "anonymous intelligence sources" want to make sure everybody knows about this supposed exposure of their sources, despite the fact that they don't know if they've been compromised?
:rofl::rofl:

This is propaganda.

3. It can't be propaganda. He's for the truth.

I can handle propaganda - if it is of a high enough quality to at least be thought provoking. But daily doses of uncooked tripe just are too hard to swallow.

4. Draw your own conclusions

Negroponte put it on his with a link to the and a further link to .

Draw your own onclusions. Negroponte should not have put it on his web site.

I was just a boat driver - not an Admiral or an Intelligence type. :hi:

5. Negroponte is a lying sack of fecal material.

And the "anonymous intelligence sources" are too.
Draw your own conclusions.

6. I have

Negroponte wouldn't mind sacrificing a few operatives - no matter whose - to make himself look good.

Why would Negroponted post the stuff on the DNI web page?

7. "Why would Negroponted post the stuff on the DNI web page?"

1.) To convince us the al Zarqawi is real and active and (possibly) an important player in the Iraq mess. The sheep must be convinced of the reality and importance of Emmanuel Goldstein.

2.) To convince us that Israel has a deep and effective intelligence network in the Muslim world which keeps close tabs on al Zarqawi (see #1) and his ilk.

3.) To instill fear in the terrists. (see #2)

4.) To dissemble responsibility for the death squads running around in Iraq.

The truth is too precious to be posted on Negroponte's web site, and lies must be surrounded with a sugar coat of misdirection in order to improve the chances they will be accepted without critical examination. You're a lawyer, right? You ought to understand this stuff.

The real question is why would Negroponte go to the trouble to post the truth on his web site. He could give a crap about the truth, or about sharing the truth with the public.

Edit: he has never, that I am aware of, in a long career, given any evidence of seeking to puff himself up in public.
