Glenn Greenwald wrote in late January about the “presidential assassination program” The following week, Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, Adm. Dennis Blair, acknowledged in Congressional testimony that the administration reserves the “right” to carry out such assassinations. Anwar al-Awlaki, a Muslim cleric born in New Mexico but now living in Yemen, may be the first US citizen targeted for assassination by the CIA under a counter-terror policy established (but never implemented) by President George W. Bush and since embraced by President Barack Obama. This week, the New York Times and The Washington Post both confirmed that this policy exists and is being implemented.

@ Warmongerir Pacisfist – I didn’t take any sides in this question, I just simply pointed out obvious discrepencies with the fact that human rights violations are occurring in other areas in North Africa and the Middle East, yet the U.N. and Obama are practically ignoring those, so what makes this operation in Libya so special? I personally think that getting rid of Qaddafi and helping the rebels establish a working Constitutional Republic that is friendly to the West would be beneficial to the whole world, and I’m all in support of that, but according to Obama and the U.N. we are not there to do that, so again, why the special treatment for Libya?

Paul Craig Roberts www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv www.infowars.net www.prisonplanet.com March 30, 2011 What does the world think? Obama has been using air strikes and drones against civilians in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and probably Somalia. In his March 28 speech, Obama justified his air strikes against Libya on the grounds that the embattled ruler, Gadhafi, was using air strikes to put down a rebellion. Gadhafi has been a black hat for as long as I can remember. If we believe the adage that “where there is smoke there is fire,” Gadhafi is probably not a nice fellow. However, there is no doubt whatsoever that the current US president and the predecessor Bush/Cheney regime have murdered many times more people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia than Gadhafi has murdered in Libya. Moreover, Gadhafi is putting down a rebellion against state authority as presently constituted, but Obama and Bush/Cheney initiated wars of aggression based entirely on lies and deception. Yet Gadhafi is being demonized, and Bush/Cheney/Obama are sitting on their high horse draped in cloaks of morality. Obama described himself as saving Libyans from violence while Obama himself murders Afghans, Pakistanis, and whomever else. Indeed, the Obama regime has been torturing a US soldier, Bradley Manning, for having a moral conscience. America has degenerated to the point where having a moral conscience is evidence of anti-Americanism and “terrorist activity.” The Bush/Cheney …

Mr Obama said the US would continue to work to destroy al-Qaeda and its affiliates, and to root out violent extremism in all its forms.

The packages, found in the UK and Dubai on two overnight planes in transit from Yemen, were destined for Jewish places of worship in Chicago.

Cargo flights are seen as more vulnerable than passenger flights because the terminals tend to be in more remote locations so are more easily accessible.
The suspicious package in the UK was reportedly an ink toner cartridge that had been modified.
911 was planned during Clinton’s watch, right under his bulbous nose. Clinton could have prevented 911 but he was too busy with monica, paula, etc…….

Obama cites apparent al-Qaida link in bomb plot
“An al-Qaida affiliate in Yemen apparently ordered the Christmas Day plot against a U.S. airliner, training and arming the 23-year-old Nigerian man accused in the failed bombing, President Barack Obama said Saturday.

“This is not the first time this group has targeted us,” Obama said, reporting on some of the findings of an administration review into how intelligence agencies failed to prevent Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab from boarding Detroit-bound Northwest Flight 253.”

I missed it. Did Obama actually say the T-word: TERRORISM?????

Has he actually admitted that he failed to protect us from terrorism, just like Bush?

Has he finally admitted that he’s no better than the one who got bashed for 8 years?

Now watch the Flavor Aid drinkers all say “Nobody died, so it doesn’t count…..”

Obama secretly deploys US special forces to 75 countries across world

Tim Reid and Michael Evans, Washington

President Obama has secretly sanctioned a huge increase in the number of US special forces carrying out search-and-destroy missions against al-Qaeda around the world, with American troops now operating in 75 countries.

The dramatic expansion in the use of special forces, which in their global span go far beyond the covert missions authorised by George W. Bush, reflects how aggressively the President is pursuing al-Qaeda behind his public rhetoric of global engagement and diplomacy.

When Mr Obama took office US special forces were operating in fewer than 60 countries. In the past 18 months he has ordered a big expansion in Yemen and the Horn of Africa — known areas of strong al-Qaeda activity — and elsewhere in the Middle East, central Asia and Africa.

According to The Washington Post, Mr Obama has also approved pre-emptive special forces strikes to disrupt terror plots, and has given the units powers and authority that was not granted by Mr Bush when he occupied the White House.

Yesterday (2/3/2010) A number of news organizations are reporting that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the al Qaeda soldier accused of trying to blow up a Northwest Airlines jet, is now cooperating with authorities and has provided useful intelligence to terrorist investigators.

The Washington Post, citing “Obama administration sources,” reports Abdulmutallab “has been providing FBI interrogators with useful intelligence about his training and contacts since last week.” The Politico quotes a “law enforcement source” saying Abdulmutallab has provided “useful, current intelligence.” And ABC News, citing a “senior administration official,” reports that the intelligence “has been disseminated throughout the intelligence community.”

What is the real story?

The detainee, Ahmed Zaid Salim Zuhair, was accused in the 1995 shooting death of William Jefferson of Camden, N.J., who was working for the United Nations at the time in Bosnia. The death initially was thought to be the result of a mugging, but authorities later determined it was related to terrorism.

Zuhair was found with Jefferson’s watch, according to a FOX News source, though apparently there wasn’t enough evidence for the U.S. to prosecute him in military commissions.

The release of the three detainees to Saudi Arabia — the other two are Khalid Saad Mohammed and Abdalaziz Kareem Salim Al Noofayaee — comes amid fierce opposition in Congress to releasing such prisoners into the United States, but the White House insisted Friday it has not ruled that out.

But with narrowing options, the administration has begun shipping newly cleared inmates abroad to regain momentum in its effort to close the Cuba-based prison camp.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the administration has not abandoned the possibility of releasing detainees in the U.S., but he added that national security considerations would govern any moves.

“We’re not going to make any decisions about transfer or release that threatens the security of the country,” Gibbs said at the end of a week in which nine detainees were transferred under high security to foreign nations, and one to the United States to face trial.

Gibbs said the release of those detainees showed “marked progress” and other decisions were being made on a case-by-case basis. President Barack Obama said last month that the cases of 50 detainees had been reviewed– and the administration said 48 of them were waiting for release to foreign nations.

But the prospects for any transfers of Guantanamo inmates to the mainland U.S. have dimmed in recent weeks as Congress acted to block funding to pay for the moves. And foreign countries have been hesitant to take even cleared detainees who were deemed not to pose security threats.

With the latest transfer, the U.S. has removed 10 detainees from Guantanamo in the past week, sending four to Bermuida, one to Chad, one to Iraq, and one to face trial in New York City. That leaves 229 detainees still at the U.S. military detention center in Cuba.

The three detainees who were sent home to Saudi Arabia will be subject to judicial review in Saudi Arabia before they participate in a “rehabilitation” program administered by the Saudi government, the U.S. Justice Department said.

U.S. officials told the Associated Press they were close to a deal with Saudi Arabia and Yemen under which Saudi Arabia would take about 100 Yemeni detainees and place them in Saudi-run terrorist rehabilitation centers.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private diplomatic contacts, would not say how many Yemenis might be transferred or when the agreement might be finalized.

Negotiations on the fate of the Yemeni inmates have been under way for months, stalled over a Saudi demand that Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh publicly endorse the proposal, the officials said. Saleh had refused to do so fearing a backlash among his people, the officials said, and, as of late last month, he preferred for Yemen to set up its own centers.

Obama has pledged to close Guantanamo by early next year, and U.S. officials have been searching for places to resettle detainees, lobbying hard with foreign governments. The pace of those efforts picked up last month after Congress said it would prevent detainees, even those cleared of wrongdoing, from being brought to the U.S.

A deal in principle has been reached with the Pacific island nation of Palau to accept some other detainees.

Besides detainees who might be freed, tried or turned over to foreign governments, there are still others — highly dangerous — who the administration says can be neither freed nor tried. These prisoners– “people who in effect remain at war with the United States,” Obama has said– include detainees who may have received extensive al-Qaida training, commanded Taliban troops or sworn allegiance to Osama bin Laden.

Despite Gibbs’ comments, a key House panel approved legislation Friday that would deny immigration benefits to any Guantanamo detainees who might be released in the U.S. after being brought here for trial.

The bill, to be voted on soon by Congress, would be in effect until the end of the budget year at the end of September. Lawmakers could then extend the ban.

To Rejected: read the text clown, the question is obvious, but I’ll break it down to retard level so it wil be easy for you to understand. There this one guy, who isn’t American, actually, he’s a bad guy, who killed an American and Obama is releasing him to Saudi Arabia so they can “make him all better”. Maybe now you will understand.

Faux Nudes? Oh I get it, you think I got this information from Fox News, well retard, it was the New York Times, actually. Had you spent the time reading the article instead of coming up with smartass answers you would have learned something. You just came off looking silly and retarded, good job.
Of course, a Fox News Reporter contributed to the report, however the source is The New York Times.

Seems like a no-brainer…coming from Yemen….addressed to Jewish organizations. Yet, he’s on TV braggin’ about it & getting that ol’ fear workin’ agin’. Hell, if I was into conspiracies, I think BO called someone in Yemen to set it up.
