Spy suspect removed from courtroom

An Indiana truck driver charged with offering to sell secrets to Iraqi intelligence officials walked out of his trial this afternoon.

Shaaban Hafiz Ahmad Ali Shaaban, 53, angrily accused federal prosecutors of "buying" witnesses against him as his ex-wife, Svetlana A. Shaban, testified.

"It's unfair trial," Shaaban declared in front of the jury. As the judge issued another warning outside of the presence of the jury, Shaaban packed his files and demanded to be removed from the courtroom. He objected to Dazey and Donahoe representing him, as a U.S. marshal placed him in handcuffs.

Shaaban was taken to another room in the courthouse where he could continue to watch his trial on closed-circuit television...

1. I'm curious to what kind of "secrets" an Indiana truck driver would....
...have access.

Sounds like one of the old Stalinist "show trials" to me...no need to establish real guilt.

2. Yeah, this may sound tin-foil but is my overreach on it (Plame) etc.
Supposedly, Brewster Jennings (Plame) was on to a scheme to plant VX nerve gas WMD in Iraq AFTER the shock and and awe.
The scheme was supposedly stopped in Turkey if I recall correctly.

Now where could the neo-cons have come up with a a little spare VX nerve gas? to plant in Iraq?

There is a VX nerve gas storage facility in western Indiana that is currently being decommisioned, shut down- and the VX is being neutralized/destroyed. The name of the town is Newburg or maybe Newport. A VX storage facility of the Army.

The process to do all this was started around 1999-2000, but only this year has the actual destruction process started, and the gas is not yet totally destroyed. This is actually being done with a burn process of some kind. So the fact that all this VX was sitting there waiting for decisions on the destruction process and timing falls within the 2001-2004 time frame.

And if you were going to plant a little extra VX in Iraq after the shock and awe? Where would you snag a good-sized batch or two during that time frame? Like say a TRUCKLOAD of the stuff. And you would need a truck driver. right?

just sayin...
