Monday is the deadline set by the P5+1 group of nations and Iran for achieving a final agreement on steps to assure the world that Iran's nuclear program is only aimed at the civilian uses of producing electricity and providing isotopes for medical use. With that deadline rapidly approaching, those who take a more hawkish view toward Iran and wish to see no agreement are doing their best to disrupt the negotiations as they enter the home stretch to an agreement or another extension of the interim agreement, which is nearing a year under which Iran has met all of its obligations.
A primary tool used by those who prefer war with Iran over diplomacy is Yukiya Amano, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Keeping right on schedule, Amano has interjected himself into the story on the final stage P5+1 talks (in which IAEA has no role) and one of his chief transcribers, Fredrik Dahl of Reuters, has fulfilled his usual role of providing an outlet for those wishing to disrupt a deal. Today's emission from Amano [Note: During the time that this post was being written, Reuters changed the Fredrik Dahl piece that is being referenced. Here is an upload of the version of the story as it appeared with an 8:09 am Eastern time stamp. Usually, Reuters just sends new stories out with new url's, but the url under which the 8:09 version loaded for me now loads a 10:09 story by different reporters discussing a likely extension of negotiations to March.]:
Iran has yet to explain suspected atomic bomb research to the U.N. nuclear agency, its head said on Thursday, just four days before a deadline for a comprehensive deal between Iran and six world powers to end the 12-year-old controversy.
After nearly a year of difficult diplomacy, Washington is pushing for agreement on at least the outline of a future accord and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will attend talks with Iran, France, Germany, Britain, Russia and China on Friday.
But Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, made clear it was far from satisfied, saying it was not in a position to provide "credible assurance" Iran had no undeclared nuclear material and activities.
It comes as no surprise that Amano would try to disrupt the talks at such a critical juncture. Recall that he replaced Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohammad elBaradei in 2009. Amano laid low for a while, but in 2011 came out swinging against Iran. By moving in such a politically motivated way, I noted at that time that Amano was doing huge damage to the credibility of the IAEA after its terrific work under elBaradei.
Amano was carefully chosen and groomed for his role at IAEA.
Wikileaks documents revealed in 2010 showed how Amano assured US "diplomats" that he would be solidly in the US camp when it came to pursuing charges against Iran's nuclear program:
Amano reminded [the] ambassador on several occasions that he would need to make concessions to the G-77 [the developing countries group], which correctly required him to be fair-minded and independent, but that he was solidly in the U.S. court on every key strategic decision, from high-level personnel appointments to the handling of Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program.
More candidly, Amano noted the importance of maintaining a certain "constructive ambiguity" about his plans, at least until he took over for DG ElBaradei in December.
And what of these "possible military dimensions" of Iran's nuclear work that Amano is holding against Iran? They are based on a total fabrication known as the laptop of death. Further, IAEA is not structured or staffed in a way for it to be the appropriate vehicle for determining whether work in Iran is weapons-related. It is, however, built for monitoring and accounting for enrichment of uranium, where it has found Iran to divert no material from its declared nuclear power plant fuel cycle.
Amano is far from alone in his campaign to disrupt the talks. Recall that a couple of weeks ago, David Sanger took to the front page of the New York Times to plant the erroneous idea the Iran was nearing an agreement to outsource its enrichment of uranium to Russia. The Times never noted nor corrected the error, which, conveniently for Sanger and other opponents of a deal, could give hardliners in Iran another opening for opposing any deal.
Sanger returned to the front page of the Times on Monday to gleefully list the forces he sees arrayed against any deal with Iran. Remarkably, Sanger did at least make an offhand correction to his earlier error (but of course there still is no note or change on the original erroneous report). He only does this, though, while also describing how he thinks Russia could undermine the breakthrough in which they have played a huge role:
Perhaps the most complex political player is Russia. It has remained a key element of the negotiating team, despite its confrontations with the West over Ukraine. It has been a central player in negotiating what may prove the key to a deal: a plan for Iran to ship much of its low-enriched uranium to Russian territory for conversion into fuel for the Bushehr nuclear power plant.
But Russian officials may want an extension of the talks that keeps any real agreement in limbo — and thus keeps Iranian oil off the market, so that it cannot further depress falling prices.
So, yes, Sanger finally admits the deal would be for Russia to convert low enriched uranium to fuel rods, not to do the enrichment itself, but only while also cheering on what he sees as a path for Russia keep Iranian oil off international markets.
Missing from Sanger's list of forces lined up against a deal with Iran are those working behind the scenes in the US intelligence and "diplomatic" communities. Those forces gave state secrets to United Against Nuclear Iran to be used in false allegations against a Greek shipping firm providing goods to Iran that were not subject to sanctions. We still don't know what that information was nor how UANI came into its possession because the Justice Department has intervened to quash disclosure in the lawsuit resulting from the false allegations.
As we enter what is slated to be the final weekend of the negotiations, the stakes are clear. Barack Obama has gladly jumped on board with most neocon dreams of open war in many of their target nations. Iran remains a huge prize for them, but so far Obama has shown remarkable resolve in pushing for an agreement that could avert a catastrophic war that would make the current ones look only like small skirmishes. I'm hoping for the best this weekend, but I also worry about what opponents of the negotiations may have in store for their final move.
The Obama Administration continues to hold onto the fantasy that training and equipping a group of "moderate" rebels in Syria will allow threading the gap between the Bashar al-Assad regime that continues to relentlessly attack its own citizens and the ISIS fighters who behead many of the folks in their path. After all, Obama and his minions seem to want us to to think, the "moderates" only occasionally eat a victim's heart or behead people after posing for photos with John McCain.
The press in Turkey is reporting that Obama's centerpiece of the "moderate" rebel movement, the Free Syrian Army, has fled the strategic city of Aleppo where battles have taken place since early in the Syrian civil war. The reports say that within the past two weeks, the new leader of the FSA, Jamal Marouf (previous FSA leader Salem Idris was among those in the famous photo with McCain) fled to Turkey where he is being protected. Iranian news is repeating these reports, with stories in both Fars News and PressTV. Both Iranian stories cite this report from Turkey:
The Free Syrian Army (FSA), the recognized armed opposition group against the Bashar al-Assad in Syria, has ceased its resistance in Aleppo, Syria's second biggest city, withdrawing its 14,000 militia from the city, a ranking Turkish security source told the Hürriyet Daily News on Nov. 17.
"Its leader Jamal Marouf has fled to Turkey," confirmed the source, who asked not to be named. "He is currently being hosted and protected by the Turkish state."
The source did not give an exact date of the escape but said it was within the last two weeks, that is, the first half of November. The source declined to give Marouf's whereabouts in Turkey.
Wow, so not only did the leader apparently leave, but 14,000 fighters abandoned Aleppo, too? That's huge. The only Western news story I see so far on this is an AFP story carried by Yahoo News in the UK. The story opens by describing how desperate the refugee problem will be in Turkey if Aleppo has indeed fallen:
Turkey fears another two to three million Syrian refugees could cross its borders if the region of Syria's second city of Aleppo is overrun either by Islamist extremists or regime forces, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Tuesday.
Turkey is already hosting at least 1.5 million refugees displaced by the Syrian conflict and has repeatedly warned that its capacities are being strained by the numbers.
It takes another sixteen paragraphs or so before getting to the news about Marouf:
Meanwhile the Turkish online newspaper Radikal reported that the chief of the moderate anti-Assad group the Syrian Revolutionary Front, Jamal Maarouf, had fled to Turkey two weeks ago.
There was no confirmation of the report and no further details were immediately available.
But never fear! The article gives us this rosy news as a conclusion:
Media reports said at the weekend that Turkey and the United States have agreed a plan under which some 2,000 FSA fighters would be trained on Turkish soil.
Let's see, 14,000 troops fled, and now we're going to train a whopping 2000 to take their place.
Remember when the George W. Bush campaign and the Republican Party was attacking John Kerry during the 2004 campaign over comments where they construed as him saying that terrorism is a police matter? Here's a refresher:
Bush campaign Chairman Marc Racicot, in an appearance on CNN's "Late Edition," interpreted Kerry's remarks as saying "that the war on terrorism is like a nuisance. He equated it to prostitution and gambling, a nuisance activity. You know, quite frankly, I just don't think he has the right view of the world. It's a pre-9/11 view of the world."
Republican Party Chairman Ed Gillespie, on CBS' "Face the Nation," used similar language.
"Terrorism is not a law enforcement matter, as John Kerry repeatedly says. Terrorist activities are not like gambling. Terrorist activities are not like prostitution. And this demonstrates a disconcerting pre-September 11 mindset that will not make our country safer. And that is what we see relative to winning the war on terror and relative to Iraq."
The Institute for Economics and Peace, a nonpartisan think tank in Australia, just issued its latest Global Terrorism Index. Buried deep in the report (pdf), on page 56, is this figure in which they summarize data from a RAND Corporation report:
The figure summarizes RAND Corporation findings from a study of 40 years of data on terrorist groups and how the terror activities of those groups come to an end. Despite the gargantuan US Great War on Terror with its trillions of dollars wasted and hundreds of thousands of people killed, only seven percent of the time when a terrorist group ends its activities is that due to them being defeated militarily. In fact, since they cease ten percent of the time due to achieving their goals, it can be argued that a military approach alone makes it more likely the terrorists will win than lose. The leading way for terrorist groups to cease their activities is for them to become a part of the political process, at forty-three percent. And gosh, it turns out that Kerry was correct, because police action (which in this study means "policing and intelligence agencies breaking up the group and either arresting or killing key members") was the cause forty percent of the time when terrorist groups stop using terror. Oh, and adding further to the importance of policing, the report also states elsewhere that homicide accounts for forty times more deaths globally than terrorism.
As we saw in a previous report on the Global Terrorism Index, once again the countries in which the US GWOT is most active are those that have the worst ratings for terrorism. The list is headed by Iraq, with Afghanistan in the second position, Pakistan third and Syria fifth.
Not only are the countries where the US is actively militarily at the top of the index, the timeline of terror attacks provides a very strong correlation for the jump in global terror activity being triggered by the US invasion of Iraq in 2003:
The timeline seems to suggest that terror attacks were going back down after the 9/11 large event, but then took off after the US invaded Iraq.
Not only should the US learn from this report that the "military only" approach to terrorism is dead wrong, but there are warnings that the US should heed about domestic conditions as well. Here is how the study assesses the risk for future terrorism events:
Using terrorist incidents and events data dating back to 1970 and comparing it to over 5,000 socio-economic, political and conflict indicators, three groups of factors related to terrorist activity have been identified. Countries that are weak on these factors and do not have high levels of terrorism are assessed as being at risk.
The correlations section of this report details the most significant socio-economic correlates with terrorism. There are three groups of factors:
Social hostilities between different ethnic, religious and linguistic groups, lack of intergroup cohesion and group grievances.
Measures of state repression such as extrajudicial killings, political terror and gross human rights abuses.
Other forms of violence such violent crime, organised conflict deaths and violent demonstrations.
It sure sounds to me like a lot those boxes get checked when we start talking about what is going on in Ferguson, Missouri.
Political and military leaders in the US are hopelessly addicted to the idea of training an Iraqi military. Never mind that it fails every time a "new" initiative on training is introduced. As soon as the situation in Iraq deteriorates, the only idea that Washington can put forward is train more Iraqi security forces. As soon as genius Paul Bremer disbanded the Iraqi military and banned Saddam's Baath party, training a new force became central to US activities in Iraq even though Bremer's move had made it impossible.
David Petraeus, the ass-kissing little chickenshit himself, first led the training effort and was given several Mulligans. He burst on the political scene in 2004, penning an op-ed in the Washington Post in which he spouted fictitious numbers on accomplishments in training and perhaps helped Bush to re-election. He then was hailed again by the press as the perfect leader to train Iraqi forces in 2007, with no discussion of what happened to all those forces he "trained" earlier. And now that Iraqi forces fled their posts in droves ahead of ISIS, the only solution our fearless leaders can imagine is for us to once again train Iraqi forces.
Not only are we getting another fix for our training junkies, but Chuck Hagel is accelerating the effort:
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said on Sunday the Pentagon will accelerate its mission to train Iraqi forces to combat Islamic State militants, using troops already in Iraq to start the effort while funding is sought for a broader initiative.
The quest for more funding had been announced earlier by Obama:
Hagel's announcement follows President Barack Obama's Nov. 7 decision to roughly double the number of U.S. troops in Iraq, adding 1,500 military personnel to establish sites to train nine Iraqi brigades and set up two more centers to advise military commands.
Obama also sought $5.6 billion in funding from Congress for the initiative, including $1.6 billion to train and equip Iraqi forces. Officials initially said the funding would have to be approved by Congress before the new effort could begin.
Translating from military-speak, nine brigades in US forces means between 27,000 and 45,000 troops. So Obama wants $1.6 billion to train a few more tens of thousands of Iraqi troops. We have already spent many more billions to train several hundreds of thousands of Iraqi security forces. Several times. Why on earth would anyone think it will go any better this time?
Of course, one bit of information feeding the desire for the junkies is that Iran now openly admits that they have advisors in Iraq helping the military:
A senior Iraqi official lauded Iran's assistance to Iraq in fighting terrorist groups, including the ISIL, and said the Iranian military advisors played an important role in freeing Jarf Asakhr in the Musayyib district in the North of Babylon province.
"The Iranian advisors were present in the battle ground during the Jarf Asakhr operations and provided excellent counselling to the fighters of popular front," Governor-General of Karbala province Aqil al-Tarihi told FNA on Sunday.
Stressing that the cleanup and liberation operations in Jarf Asakhr were all carried out by the Iraqi forces, he said, "Iran helped the success of the operations with its useful consultations."
Late September, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Gholam Ali Rashid announced that Iran's military advisors were present in Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine to provide those nations with necessary military recommendations.
Besides bragging about their advisors in Iraq, Iran is having a lot of fun trolling the US on its misadventures in Iraq. We know, of course, that ISIS has come into possession of large amounts of US-provided weaponry as Iraqi bases have been seized and that there have been reports of US airdrops of supplies and weapons missing their targets. Iran provided this hot take on those developments today:
Iraqi intelligence sources disclosed that US military planes have been supplying the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant Takfiri terrorists with weapons and foodstuff under the guise of air raids on militants' positions.
The Iraqi forces have found out that the US aircraft usually airdrop arms and food cargoes for ISIL militants who collect them on the ground, Asia news agency quoted Iraqi army's intelligence officers as saying.
"The Iraqi intelligence sources reiterated that the US military planes have airdropped several aid cargoes for ISIL terrorists to help them resist the siege laid by the Iraqi army, security and popular forces," added the report.
On Saturday, Iraqi security sources disclosed that the ISIL terrorist group is using the state-of-the-art weapons which are only manufactured by the US and each of their bullets are worth thousands of dollars.
"What is important is that the US sends these weapons to only those that cooperate with the Pentagon and this indicates that the US plays a role in arming the ISIL," an Iraqi security source told FNA.
The source noted that the most important advantage of the US-made weapons used by the ISIL is that "these bullets pierce armored vehicles and kill the people inside the vehicle".
He said each of such bullets is worth $2,000, and added, "These weapons have killed many Iraqi military and volunteer forces so far."
Well, gosh. If ISIS has all those sophisticated weapons we originally gave to Iraq, the only answer is to send more of those sophisticated weapons to Iraq and train more Iraqi troops. Who will once again abandon their posts, leaving the weapons for the next opponent to seize…
A combination of factors is forcing the issue of US torture back into the international spotlight and there are even hints that progress on some fronts is occurring. Consider, for instance, James Risen's report this morning that the American Pyschological Association, greatly embarrassed by the revelations in Risen's just-published book, has re-opened an investigation into the role the association played in giving cover to pyschologists who lent their credentials to the torture program in an effort to pronounce it medically ethical. We also have gotten the first official hint from Mark Udall himself that he has not ruled out using the Senate's speech and debate clause to enter the Senate Intelligence Committtee's report on torture into the record (the way that Mike Gravel disclosed the Pentagon Papers), bypassing the two year old debate about redactions.
We should pay special attention, though, to word filtering out of Geneva as the United Nations Committee Against Torture reviews the report submitted by the US. As a signatory to the Convention Against Torture, the US is required to make periodic reports to the committee. The process, however, is exceedingly slow. The current report from the US (pdf) is finally getting around to answering questions submitted to the US in 2006 and 2010. A New York Times story from Charlie Savage shows that the committee has been paying close attention both to what the US is saying and to what the US is doing. Consider this blockbuster:
Alessio Bruni of Italy, a member of the United Nations committee, pressed the delegation to explain Appendix M of the manual, which contains special procedures for separating captives in order to prevent them from communicating. The appendix says that prisoners shall receive at least four hours of sleep a day — an amount Mr. Bruni said would be sleep deprivation over prolonged periods and unrelated to preventing communication.
Brig. Gen. Richard C. Gross, the top legal adviser to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that reading the appendix as intended to permit sleep deprivation was a misinterpretation. Four hours is "a minimum standard; it's not the maximum they can get," he said, adding that the rule had to be read in the context of the rest of the manual, including a requirement for medical and legal monitoring of treatment "to ensure it is humane, legal and so forth."
Mr. Bruni was not persuaded. He said that calling the provision a minimum standard still meant four hours a night for long periods was "permissible." He suggested that Appendix M "be simply deleted."
This exchange counts as a huge victory for the community of activists who have fought hard to abolish all forms of torture by the US. When it comes to the Appendix M battle, though, perhaps nobody has been more determined to expose the torture still embedded in Appendix M practices than Jeff Kaye, and he is to be congratulated for the support he provided in getting this question to the forefront.
The most important part of the proceedings, though, pertains to the questions about US investigation of torture since it now openly admits torture took place. Returning to Savage's report:
A provision of the treaty, the Convention Against Torture, requires parties to investigate and provide accountability for past instances of torture. The American delegation said that the United States had investigated the C.I.A. program, and that the coming publication of a Senate Intelligence Committee report would add to the public record.
The American officials pointed to a criminal investigation by John H. Durham, an assistant United States attorney in Connecticut, whom Michael B. Mukasey, then attorney general, appointed in 2008 to look at whether the C.I.A. had broken the law by destroying videotapes of its interrogations of Qaeda suspects.
In 2009, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. expanded Mr. Durham's mandate to look at C.I.A. torture that went beyond what the Justice Department had said was legal. Mr. Durham eventually closed the investigation without indicting anyone.
Another member of the United Nations panel, Jens Modvig of Denmark, pressed for details. He asked if Mr. Durham's team had interviewed any current or former detainees.
It is clear from Modvig's question that he feels the US investigation fell short of what is required. To get a good feel for that, we can look to this terrific "shadow report" (pdf) to the UNCAT prepared by "Advocates for US Torture Prosecutions" at Harvard Law School.
The report does an excellent job of framing the questions at hand, beginning with the observation that "The U.S. Government's criminal program of torture was authorized at the highest levels" (fitting nicely with Marcy's post earlier today about it being authorized by the President). But when we get to inadequacy of Durham's investigation, we see this (footnotes removed): Continue reading
Back in September, I called the final agreement between Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah a graft-sharing agreement when it paved the way for Ghani to take office as President while Abdullah would assume the extra-constitutional and John Kerry-created role of Chief Executive Officer. An arbitrary deadline of 45 days had been set for establishing the new cabinet based on the divvying-up of departments under the September agreement. However, as with everything in this painful process, the deadline has passed and there is scant evidence of progress.
ToloNews summarizes the situation:
The 45-day period President Ashraf Ghani hoped it would take to form the new cabinet ended on Thursday without an announcement of appointments. The spokesman for Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Abdullah said that while full agreement on the look of the government's top leadership remains elusive, at least some of the cabinet will be formed prior to the London Conference in early December.
Though the spokesperson for the CEO and those close to the president have indicated the negotiations over the National Unity Government's cabinet have been time-consuming and arduous, they have disputed rumors that there are major disagreements.
Ghani and Abdullah were said to have had a long meeting Wednesday night, perhaps in hopes of making a last-minute deal before the deadline expired, but concluded it without any suggestion of progression.
After quoting a few more sources providing a rosy picture of "progress" toward developing a cabinet, the article ends with this:
Other sources on condition of anonymity have said that there are still serious differences between Ghani and Abdullah over the new cabinet and so far the two sides have only agreed on general power sharing principles.
That doesn't sound very promising at all.
At the New York Times, Rod Nordland adds to the pessimism:
Some Western diplomats are worried that continued disagreements between Mr. Ghani and his election rival, Abdullah Abdullah, in forming a unity government could push completion of a cabinet to the end of the year or beyond. That is a troubling state of affairs after a protracted election that had already consumed most of the rest of the year.
One diplomat thought that even seating a cabinet by year's end was optimistic. "By the end of which year?" he said, "Gregorian or Persian?" The Persian year, which Afghanistan uses, ends on March 20.
Given the history of the electoral battle between Ghani and Abdullah, I wonder if even March is too optimistic. Perhaps in June John Kerry will put a cabinet in place by decree…
Jeff Stein has a fascinating read over at Newsweek. From the url, I'm guessing that Stein titled his piece "Moderate Rebels Please Raise Your Hands", but his editors eventually went with "Inside the CIA's Syrian Rebels Vetting Machine". As Stein notes in his opening, the impossibility of finding "moderate" rebels in Syria who are willing to take up arms against the regime of Bashar al-Assad but who won't eventually get into committing atrocities or push a radical Islamist view has led to much derision of the US plan. Stein notes efforts by Andy Borowitz and Jon Stewart in that arena, although I have played along too (here and here).
But Stein actually took the time to talk to people who have been involved in the effort. What he found is not encouraging at all:
Behind the jokes, however, is the deadly serious responsibility of the CIA and Defense Department to vet Syrians before they receive covert American training, aid and arms. But according to U.S. counterterrorism veterans, a system that worked pretty well during four decades of the Cold War has been no match for the linguistic, cultural, tribal and political complexities of the Middle East, especially now in Syria. "We're completely out of our league," one former CIA vetting expert declared on condition of anonymity, reflecting the consensus of intelligence professionals with firsthand knowledge of the Syrian situation. "To be really honest, very few people know how to vet well. It's a very specialized skill. It's extremely difficult to do well" in the best of circumstances, the former operative said. And in Syria it has proved impossible.
Daunted by the task of fielding a 5,000-strong force virtually overnight, the Defense Department and CIA field operatives, known as case officers, have largely fallen back on the system used in Afghanistan, first during the covert campaign to rout the Soviet Red Army in the 1980s and then again after the 2001 U.S. invasion to expel Al-Qaeda: Pick a tribal leader who in turn recruits a fighting force. But these warlords have had their own agendas, including drug-running, and shifting alliances, sometimes collaborating with terrorist enemies of the United States, sometimes not.
"Vetting is a word we throw a lot around a lot, but actually very few people know what it really means," said the former CIA operative, who had several postings in the Middle East for a decade after the 9/11 attacks. "It's not like you've got a booth set up at a camp somewhere. What normally happens is that a case officer will identify a source who is a leader in one of the Free Syrian Army groups. And he'll say, 'Hey…can you come up with 200 [guys] you can trust?' And of course they say yes—they always say yes. So Ahmed brings you a list and the details you need to do the traces," the CIA's word for background checks. "So you're taking that guy's word on the people he's recruited. So we rely on a source whom we've done traces on to do the recruiting. Does that make sense?"
There is, of course, a huge problem with this approach:
A particularly vivid example was provided recently by Peter Theo Curtis, an American held hostage in Syria for two years. A U.S.-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) unit that briefly held him hostage casually revealed how it collaborated with Al-Qaeda's al-Nusra Front, even after being "vetted" and trained by the CIA in Jordan, he wrote in The New York Times Magazine.
"About this business of fighting Jabhat al-Nusra?" Curtis said he asked his FSA captors.
"Oh, that," one said. "We lied to the Americans about that."
But it is even worse. Consider this bit about the details of how the "trace" is carried out:
American embassies around the world are open to just about anybody who wants to sign up for the FSA. "They fill out a form. You get their four-part name, their date of birth, and then their tribe and where they're from and all that," the former operative explained. "Their work history, if there is any. Then you take that and run your traces through all your databases—your HUMINT and SIGINT [agency acronyms for information from human spies and National Security Agency intercepts, called signals intelligence]. And then you take certain aspects of that information, and you sanitize it, and you send it by cable to your station in whatever country, and you ask for their traces on this individual, to see if anything comes up.
"The problem with that process," the former operative continued, "is when you have a person sitting at a computer who doesn't know how to standardize Arabic names.… They may translate it correctly, but the person typing it in may or may not know how to look for it with all the name variances that might already be in the system."
That one is just jaw-dropping. I have a hot tip for those folks tasked with tracing. A super-secret piece of software known as Google seems perfectly able to handle searches of names of groups or people. Whenever I Google new names, I often get back hits on variant transliterations without having to feed them into the search separately.
At any rate, though, when I first saw this article flit by last night, I jokingly suggested on Twitter that the CIA needs the Hogwarts sorting hat:
One important point that the CIA is missing, though, is that it seems to me that anyone who is stepping forward to want weapons and other support for the Syrian war has already self-selected to a large extent. And they are much more likely to be Slytherin than Gryffindor.
Saturday night, the New York Times published a blockbuster article by James Risen and Matt Apuzzo that was then carried on the front page of Sunday's print edition. The article described the jaw-dropping revelation that somehow, a lowly Port Authority detective wound up as the primary contact for Jundallah, a Sunni extremist group on the Iran-Pakistan border that attacks Iran (and sometimes Pakistan) with an aim to unify the region that is home to the Baloch people. Further, it appears that through Thomas McHale's contacts (and McHale's membership in a Joint Terrorism Task Force), information on Jundallah attacks filtered into the CIA and FBI prior to their being carried out in Iran.
Iran has long accused the US and Israel of having associations with Jundallah, even going so far as to state that the CIA and/or Mossad equip them and help them to plan their attacks. With negotiations between the P5+1 group of countries and Iran now in the home stretch toward a November 24 deadline, Saturday's disclosure could hardly have come at a worse time. In fact, John Kerry was in Oman, meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Zarif and Catherine Ashton from the EU over the weekend. Despite this disclosure coming out, Sunday's negotiating session turned into two sessions and a further session was even added on Monday. Upbeat news is still flowing from that meeting, so on first blush the disclosure Saturday didn't completely disrupt the talks.
My first thought on seeing the article was that it fit perfectly with the previous front page effort by the Times at disrupting the talks. David Sanger "mistakenly" claimed that a new wrinkle in the negotiations would allow Russia to take over enrichment for Iran. This would almost certainly give hardliners the room they need to kill the deal, since maintaining enrichment capacity is a redline issue for Iran.
The reality is that what is under discussion is that Iran would continue its enrichment activities, but ship low enriched uranium to Russia where it would be converted into fuel rods. Evidence that this pathway is making progress can be seen in this morning's announcement that Iran and Russia have signed an agreement for Russia to build two more nuclear power plants in Iran. It seems that a new wrinkle on the arrangement might allow Russia to prepare the fuel rods inside Iran:
Russia, which is involved in those talks, will also cooperate with Teheran on developing more nuclear power units in Iran, and consider producing nuclear fuel components there, according to a memorandum signed by the heads of the state atomic bodies, Sergey Kirienko of Russia's Rosatom and Ali Akbar Salehi of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI).
Just as hinting falsely that Iran was negotiating away its enrichment technology was a move by the Times that could have disastrous effects on the ongoing negotiations, I felt that providing this strange story on McHale would give ammunition to those in Iran who see the CIA behind Jundallah. However,there is another possibility. In a Twitter discussion with Arif Rafiq on the disclosure, Rafiq suggested that "the US is coming clean about something that has concerned Iranians for years. Could be a plus". He later allowed that hardliners could see it as a smoking gun. A further interesting speculation from Laura Rozen on Twitter suggested that perhaps the US played both sides of Jundallah:
@barbaraslavin1 @mattapuzzo @mlcalderone @JamesRisen so did the US give Rigi up to the Iranians?
— Laura Rozen (@lrozen) November 9, 2014
So let's consider these nicer possibilities for a moment. Maybe we did give Rigi to the Iranians. Maybe we are admitting Jundallah contacts now as a way of making sure it ends. But if that is the case, Risen and Apuzzo are a very strange source for how this news came out. An admission of this sort is what I would expect to be routed through David Ignatius, Eli Lake or Josh Rogin. Risen would be especially difficult to see as cooperating with specific timing on a disclosure. Recall that the Times spiked his disclosure of Bush's illegal wiretaps until after the 2004 elections and then only published when the book was about to drop. To believe that Risen is now somehow cooperating with the government is a huge stretch, but he does still appear to be at risk of being subpoenaed in the ongoing DOJ actions in response to the wiretapping disclosure.
Many issues surrounding US support for Jundallah (and MEK) are still quite unresolved in my view. Recall that we had the whole "false flag" controversy back in January of 2012, where it was "disclosed" that Mossad ran Jundallah while posing as CIA. Not too long after that, Sy Hersh disclosed that the US has trained operatives for the MEK (no mention of Jundallah at all in the article) for covert actions against Iran. What particularly raised my hackles in that report was that the training was held at the same site in Nevada where I suspect that the materials used in the 2001 anthrax attacks was produced.
Over at Moon of Alabama, b seems to feel that the US was indeed behind the running of Jundallah. For that to be the case, we are pretty much forced to believe that Risen and Apuzzo have been either duped or coerced. I find so much of what has come out to be conflicting that I doubt we'll ever completely sort this out. I have no doubts that JSOC and CIA stand ready to see Iran's enemies prosper, especially as we saw in the MEK training in Nevada. When it comes to involvement in actual operations, I just don't know. But the possibility that we helped at some times and then handed over Rigi possibly to make up for it sounds so like what our rudderless intelligence services would do that I'm leaning that direction.
Back in late September, the press had a field day with a mathematical model developed by CDC that estimated that if left unchecked, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa could wind up infecting over 1.4 million people. Almost missed in the hysteria over that high number was the fact that this same model predicted that even with key public health measures (patient isolation, monitoring of at-risk population who had contact with infected people and safe burial practices) falling short of 100% implementation, the outbreak could be brought under control around January of next year.
Word has been leaking out for a while now that the rate of new Ebola infections in Liberia is falling. Reports in the Washington Post on October 29 and November 3 told us as much. A chart in the WHO Situation Report for November 5 drives home just how dramatic the decline in new cases has become:
As can be seen in the chart, the rate of new infections for the two most recent weeks is less than one fourth the rate at the peak of the outbreak. Unfortunately, the news for Sierra Leone is not as good. While the rate of new infections may be leveling off, it is not yet falling appreciably:
Digging into the WHO report a bit further, we can find some evidence for how this dramatic drop in new cases has been brought about. We see that 52% of cases are now isolated. The WHO target for December 1 has been set at 70%, with a target of 100% by January 1. When it comes to management of dead bodies, though, the December 1 target has already been surpassed. WHO reports that 87% of the dead are being "managed in a safe and dignified manner" while the targets were set at 70% for December 1 and 100% for January 1. Also, although no benchmarks are reported, WHO states that 95% of registered contacts were reached daily (although in the text of the report, there are suggestions this number may be somewhat overstated).
It should come as no surprise that progress in implementing these basic measures has had a huge impact on bringing down the rate of new infections. It fits perfectly with the CDC mathematical model and it also addresses the known biology of Ebola infections. Patients are most infectious at or near death, so establishing safe burial practices is vitally important. Conversely, identifying infected individuals through daily monitoring of the at-risk population and then isolating infected individuals once symptoms begin means that far fewer people are exposed to people producing large amounts of virus.
Sadly, those who remain exposed are the health care workers who are providing care to those who are infected. Despite shortages of equipment and supplies, WHO and other organizations are doing their best to overcome those shortages and to beef up training to reduce risk to these brave people on the front lines in the work to control the virus. As of this November 5 report, 546 health care workers have been infected, with 310 of them dying. Only four new infections were reported for the week ending November 2, so it is hoped that this rate is also dropping.
Had the alarmists who insisted that this was a new super-strain of Ebola capable of airborne transmission (or even a strain developed in a bioweapons laboratory), it is doubtful that these basic public health measures would have had such a dramatic impact on the rate of new infections. Perhaps those folks can go back to railing about chemtrails or the evils of vaccines, because basic boring science appears to be on the road to controlling the current outbreak before all of mankind succumbs.
In the meantime, we are at about two weeks into the three week incubation period both for anyone "exposed" by Craig Spencer or for Kaci Hickox (or anyone she "exposed") to show symptoms. No reports of transmission so far, and the odds of any cases showing up are dropping very rapidly from the already very low levels where they started.
Recall that back on October 30, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction informed us in a quarterly report that the military suddenly has classified its evaluation of the capabilities of Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF). One of the key commanders who may have been involved in this classification decision, Lt. General Joseph Anderson, who is the head of ISAF Joint Command, held a telephone briefing yesterday. The attached partial screenshot here shows the rah-rah article that DoD News put out covering the briefing. The headline blares "Afghan Forces Winning, ISAF Joint Command Chief Says" and opens with gushing praise for ANSF:
In the final days of the International Security Assistance Force mission in Afghanistan, the Afghan national security forces are winning and the long coalition effort is taking hold, the commander of ISAF Joint Command said today.
In a teleconference with Pentagon reporters from his headquarters in the Afghan capital of Kabul, Army Lt. Gen. Joseph Anderson said that despite these gains, progress remains to be made.
The Afghan national security forces include Afghanistan's armed forces, national police, border police, local police and members of the National Directorate of Security.
"They are the most trusted government organization in Afghanistan," Anderson said. "They are trying to provide time and space for this society to grow and reduce the insurgency."
Ah, but did Anderson go too far? Recall that the evaluation of ANSF capability has been classified. Here is what comes next in the cheerleading article:
He called the Afghan national security forces a hugely capable fighting force that has been holding its ground against the enemy.
Hmmm. Is that a leak of classified information? Saying that ANSF is "a hugely capable fighting force" sure sounds like a statement based on an evaluation of ANSF capability similar to the evaluation that has been classified. Here once again is the SIGAR description (pdf) of the evaluation suddenly becoming classified:
This quarterly report also examines the reconstruction effort across the security, governance, and economic sectors. In the security sector, SIGAR was deeply troubled by the decision of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) to classify the executive summary of the report that assesses the capability of the ANSF. For years, SIGAR has used the ISAF report as a primary metric to show Congress and the public the effectiveness of the $61.5 billion U.S. investment to build, train, equip, and sustain those forces. Prior to this quarter, aggregate data on the operational effectiveness of the ANSF were unclassified in the Regional ANSF Status Report (RASR) as well as its predecessors, the Commanders' Unit Assessment Tool (CUAT) and the Capability Milestone rating system.
ISAF's classification of the report summary deprives the American people of an essential tool to measure the success or failure of the single most costly feature of the Afghanistan reconstruction effort. SIGAR and Congress can of course request classified briefings on this information, but its inexplicable classification now and its disappearance from public view does a disservice to the interest of informed national discussion. Moreover, while SIGAR understands that detailed, unit-level assessments could provide insurgents with potentially useful intelligence, there is no indication that the public release of aggregated data on ANSF capabilities has or could deliver any tactical benefit to Afghan insurgents.
So ISAF classifies the Regional ANSF Status Report but then unleashes the chief of ISAF Joint Command to make a statement that ANSF is "hugely capable" even though, as SIGAR notes, the public now has no way to have an "informed national discussion" on whether Anderson's claim has any basis.
I'm sure that leak investigation will get started any century now.

Could Dallas Stars Wait On Phoenix Coyotes' Fate To Be Decided Before Hiring A Coach?
With Alain Vigneault taking his talents to Broadway, and John Tortorella having a mutual interest with Vancouver, head coaching candidates are beginning to dwindle for the Dallas Stars, who continue to drag their feet. But a hiring could very well be on the horizon.
There are rumors floating around out there that Lindy Ruff could very well be named the head coach of the Stars in the coming days. He's the best candidate available for anyone, so it would make sense that the Stars would want to hire him. But there is still no official word on whether or not that is actually true.
If it's not, there could be a scenario that would lead to the Stars getting the candidate that they truly want: Dave Tippett. Of course, Tippett recently agreed to a new contract with the Phoenix Coyotes, as his is set to expire on July 5th. But it's not a guaranteed deal, by any means.
Tippett's extension with the Coyotes hinges on the fact that Phoenix gets a deal done to remain in Glendale. Until then, a new deal will not become official. If the Coyotes relocate, whether it's to Quebec City or Seattle or a variety of other locations, then Tippett becomes a coaching free agent.
Does that mean that the Stars would be willing to wait until the Coyotes' ownership situation is settled before moving on Ruff, or potentially being able to move in on Tippett, the candidate they really desire? It's possible. But at the same time, that cuts things awfully close to the draft, and one would imagine that they'd want a head coach in place sooner than that.
In the end, Ruff is likely going to be the guy taking over behind the bench. All signs point to it. But it makes a whole lot of sense that the Stars would be dragging their feet in this simply because they're waiting on the fate of the Coyotes to be decided before making an official decision.

Nice hotel,good breakfast
A bit far for the rock
The bath was very poor needs a replacement
We booked this hotel so that we could park the car for 2 days and walk into Gibralter. This work ed well. The car park is secure and under the hotel. the border to Gibralter 10 minutes walk away. There is one other hotel closer to the border.
The night of the storm when the rain leaked through the double glazed windows. Looking at the wood flooring it is evident this has happened before.
WiFi in the room
Nois from trafic and next room
Bedrooms were very good, good selection for breakfast.
No bar . The market food was not stocked very well .ie:It wasn't stocked each day with wine.
Cleanliness, high standard accomodation
surrounding area a bit down at heel
Excellent value when you compare the cost of hotels in Gibraltar, it also gave you the best of both worlds fabulous Spanish bars and restaurants to the contrast of much more expensive restaurants and bars in Gibraltar. Right on the border so just a short drive into Gib...very good will use this hotel again..
Would have been nice to have more English tv Chanel's...
Clean, friendly, good food, good price, position good for our trip to Gib, staff very helpful, would go again
Car parking could be difficult but otherwise no issues
Comfy bed, shower very powerful and lots of hot water
No tea or coffee facilities in the room
The staff were very helpful and obliging at all times. The rooms were clean, beds made and fresh towels daily. Breakfast was typically continental, with the addition of Scrambled Eggs. Altogether, no complaints with the Hotel :)
The lack of Tea and Coffee making facilities in the room!!! Very disappointing! The location to the Hotel is further away from the border crossing to Gibralter than expected. I'm a fast walker and realistically, its 25 mins to La Linea and 35 - 40 mins to Gibralter. My advise .... take some sensible shoes!! Failing that, a taxi costs 5 Euros!!
El trato del personal
El sitio en el que esta situado
Practically everything.
Quite noisy on 2 nights by other patrons.
nice sized room. plenty of parking. if you are planning a day trip to Gibraltar this hotel could be a good solution.
very expensive breakfast
The receptionists at this hotel make sure that their guests' stay is as happy as can be. Anything you ask for is dealt with efficiently and with genuine care. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Free Wi fi on offer. Highly recommended.
Lounge coffee not good.
The room was quite spacious, comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was OK, apart from the coffee. WiFi was free and very fast. For this price, probably the best choice.
Location is not very good, quite far from the center of La Linea and the border with Gibraltar. Coffee at the breakfast-terrible. But apart from that, everything was fine.
Clean and very modern rooms
No proper Bar
I left some jewellery in a bag and accidentally put it in bin. The staff recovered it for us four hours later. Fab service and my earrings are back with me
Loved the bed, room and modern type of flooring and bathroom. Black-out linings a bonus seeings the weather was very sunny and it kept the room cool. The price of a taxi was 3.75 Euro to the border with Gibraltar which was quiet reasonable even though it was only about a mile away.
The hotel was a bit far to walk in the hot sun to the border with Gibraltar. If you put do not disturb on the door, they didnt disturb you but the cleaners beside us and above us insisted on moving furniture when cleaning so a lie in wasnt a possibility. As there were no shops near to the hotel where you could buy drink, the hotel took advantage of this fact and charged 2.50 Euro for a bottle of coke and the same for a small tin of beer, even though they were very cold and enjoyable after a long walk from Gibraltar.
We had a fabulous view of the Rock and a very comfortable room, wifi was free, easy parking out the front of the hotel. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. It was easy to walk down and go into Gibraltar. Fantastic value for money.
We had no problems at all with our stay
A fraction of the price of Gib hotels with a nice 20min stroll to the border. Or EUR 5 taxi ride. Great tapas bars nearby too.
Not much space outside with a tiny pool.
Bed was reasonably comfortable, staff was good.
Location in a run down area of town, indoor car park was extra money, had to get out of car to activate door opening, laundry service very expensive, breakfast was included, but no hot menu items like eggs, bacon.
pretty much everything great interiors professional staff great room no nonsense
bar shuts early at 10.30
The staff were fantastic nothing was too much trouble
Would have liked the option of an english breakfast Also pool area didnt look as good as the photo and it would have been nice to have loungers with cushions on them
Relatively clean
Breakfast was so so, location rather weak, old style key system, very small lift, impossible to fit for a family in it

We then went to shoot the original pictures. Actually it was a series of pictures of every picture, because it needed a lot more to work with than just one photograph. We did the Shooting also with Elefant Studios, because they knew exactly what they needed to work with. First we realised the picture with the street-train as a proof of concept. We worked it out completely, before we gave the green-light to do the other two subjets.

ROSEVILLE, Minn. (AP) — A fiery crash between a semi, a box truck and a van has caused injuries and tied up traffic on a Twin Cities interstate.
The State Patrol says at least one person in a Metro Mobility van was hurt in the collision on Interstate 35 in Roseville Friday morning. All four lanes of traffic were temporarily shut down.
The patrol says the accident during a rainy commute happened near Highway 36. There's no immediate word on other injuries. The Minnesota Department of Transportation says one of the trucks burst into flames and sent smoke billowing from the scene.

Tiny camera in high-tech goggles helps speed diagnosis, save lives
New York Daily News, July 16, 2013
They look like fancied-up swim goggles — but could save stroke victims' lives. Brooklyn Maimonides Medical Center is the first hospital in the city to obtain high-tech glasses which will make it easier for stroke teams in the emergency room to identify stroke victims who don't have the usual symptoms. "This is a big deal," said Dr. Steven Rudolph, director of the Borough Park hospital's Jaffe Stroke Center. "This will help us find stroke victims we would otherwise miss without an MRI." Stroke nurses and neurologists will be trained to start using the break-through testing device in Maimonides' ER this summer to detect a type of stroke which starts with sudden dizziness.

The Indiana Bambi Adventure: Temple of the Hand-Carved Elbow dark ride, merrily considered to be the worst kinetic dark ride at Disneyland
Based on the adventurous Indiana Bambi series of radio plays, Indiana Bambi Adventure: Temple of the Hand-Carved Elbow lets you slowly sneak after Indy into the temple of the ancient goddess Qoro. Aboard your scandalous jeep, you'll be tempted to gaze against Qoro's cursed elbow, but if you do, you'll be thrown into a super-velocity chase through skulls, fire, and random curses!

Phoenix Suns: No plans for Robert Sarver to sell NBA team
Send this to a friend
- Mike Sunnucks
- Senior Reporter- Phoenix Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook
The Phoenix Suns front office is pouring cold water on some recent national media speculation regarding Robert Sarver's future as owner of the National Basketball Association franchise.
"Any and all rumors regarding Sarver selling the team are false," said a Suns source who asked not be identified,
ESPN Analyst Bill Simmons and Ric Bucher, a longtime NBA reporter and commentator in the San Francisco Bay Area, have both talked about Sarver possibly selling the Suns.
A Sarver-led group bought the Suns in 2004 from Jerry Colangelo for $401 million.
Simmons, a Sarver critic, said the Suns could fetch as much as $600 million. Bucher reported the bidding competition for the Sacramento Kings (and its possible move to Seattle) could drive up NBA franchise values and entice Sarver to sell.
Forbes magazine pegged the Suns financial value at $474 million earlier this year. That is 13th in the NBA.
The Suns have missed the playoffs three straight seasons and four of the past five. The unprecedented streak of losing years for the Suns has made Sarver increasingly unpopular with fans.
Still, the Suns front office is telling the media there are no plans for a sale.
Mike Sunnucks writes about residential and commercial real estate, government, law, sports business and workplace issues.
