Hersh: U.S. Funds Being Secretly Funneled To Violent Al Qaeda-Linked Groups

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/02/25/hersh-qaeda/

"Hersh says the U.S. has been “pumping money, a great deal of money, without congressional authority, without any congressional oversight” for covert operations in the Middle East where it wants to “stop the Shiite spread or the Shiite influence.” Hersh says these funds have ended up in the hands of “three Sunni jihadist groups” who are “connected to al Qaeda” but “want to take on Hezbollah.”

Hersh summed up his scoop in stark terms: “We are simply in a situation where this president is really taking his notion of executive privilege to the absolute limit here, running covert operations, using money that was not authorized by Congress, supporting groups indirectly that are involved with the same people that did 9/11.”

I remember when he broke the truth about torture in the prisons......This is so sick.

3. So which Democraticly controlled committee is starting hearings on this?

When are they scheduled to start? I mean, surely the Democrats in congress won't let one day go by before investigating this horrendous report, right?

"Wars against Iraq and Iran are part of a larger US strategy that would eventually include conflict with Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, Ritter says. Why? A main reason is that the US wants to dictate the growth of China and India.

Congress has given Bush a green light to strike Iran, "and he is going to do so."
