Information Clearinghouse- "Will the real OBL please stand up?"
I was even more shocked to hear him endorse books by two American authors, one of them being Noam Chomsky’s “American Imperialism”. Here my head started spinning. It was far graver than Mr. Bush addressing the APEC audience OPEC. American Imperialism was authored by non other than Michael Scheuer, a superhawk who was the top CIA agent for years tracking OBL. Chomsky wrote “Hegemony or Survival; America’s Quest for Global Dominance” 2004. oops – Is the word ‘intelligence’ an oxymoron in this country or what?

Given the benefit of the doubt, or lost in translation, I have to wonder how ‘OBL’ being on the run and being pursued by the world’s greatest military, the only superpower, and while hiding in a cave with a bounty of $50m on his head, got the book in the first place? Perhaps if we followed DHL to some place in Bora Bora, we may catch him dying his beard while reading Chomsky. My guess is that this was a smear campaign to connect Chomsky to al-Qaeda. Here is a brilliant intellectual who speaks to the truth and spills the beans on American foreign policy, what better way to destroy his reputation than to have America’s number one enemy, the leader of al-Qaeda, endorse his work?

2. Yep I think your right.
The video was definently intended to "trash" the left before the surge report, 9/11 and escalation on Iran. What's pathetic is how bad our CIA is at this shit. They can't even do this stuff right. Still I'm sure our gullible Middle America will lap it up.

3. Sheuer did an interview on Ian Master's show today
As right as his he is on many things, it doesn't take long for him to expose his hyper-fear of the world and the hawkish response. I welcome his input but I can't buy into his fearful world view.

Considering all that has happened over the past few decades, I consider OBL nothing more than a useful psyops tool of the intelligence/defense community. Junior Bush and OBL are two sides of the same coin. They need each other to exist.
