Wayne Madsen Report
November 22, 2006 --
Yesterday, WMR reported, "According to WMR's sources in Houston, a NASA lawyer in Houston wrote a letter to the Houston mayor questioning [James] Bath's [Bush's Texas Air National Guard pal] involvement in the Air Force One refueling deal. The attorney did not receive a reply from the Mayor's office and he was soon fired from his NASA job."
The article was in reference to GOP Rep. Shelley Sekula-Gibbs' complaint about former staffers for Tom DeLay scrubbing her House of Representatives' computer system of files dealing with Ellington Field.
In what could be bad news for DeLay and Bath, the NASA lawyer who was cashiered is Harold "Hal" Dantone, a US Naval Academy 1968 classmate of newly-elected Virginia Senator Jim Webb.
=======================
November 22, 2006 -- On Nov. 10/11/12, WMR reported "Intelligence sources report that the Bush 41 team, still grateful for Syrian President Hafez al Assad's support for Operation Desert Storm, is working to exonerate Bashar Assad, Assad's son, for his government's alleged role in the February 2005 car bomb assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. WMR has previously reported that Hariri's assassination was ordered by neo-cons in Israel and the United States who wanted to implement their "Clean Break" policy in order to drive Syrian occupation troops out of Lebanon and then engineer wars with the Lebanese Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran . . . The detente with Syria and its Lebanese allies is sure to irritate the neo-cons loyal to Vice President Dick Cheney."
What played out yesterday on a Beirut street demonstrates just how irritated the Cheney wing and its neo-con allies in Jerusalem were with the diplomatic moves between the Iraq Study Group and Iran and Syria that led to the restoration of diplomatic relations between Damascus and Baghdad and an invitation by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad to Syrian President Bashar Assad and Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to attend a summit conference in Tehran.
Just as with other "false flag" assassinations of top Lebanese politicians that were designed to destabilize Lebanon and foment a U.S. (and Israeli) military showdown with Syria and Iran, another anti-Syrian Christian Lebanese politician was assassinated -- this time it was Pierre Gemayel, Lebanon's Industry Minister and the son of Phalangist leader Amine Gemayel, a former President. Gemayel's car was blocked by another vehicle gangland style and he was shot in the head by a professional hit man.
Immediately, neocon politicians and their corporate media mouthpieces began to blame Syria for the assassination, a laughable assertion considering Syria's re-entrance on to the Middle East diplomatic stage courtesy of the Baker-Hamilton group. Saad Hariri, the son of the assassinated Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri who has become a poster boy for the neocons, said, "The Cedar Revolution [i.e., the "Made-in-America" Cedar Revolution] is under attack . . . Today one of our main believers in a free democratic Lebanon has been killed. We believe the hands of Syria are all over the place. The people of Lebanon will not give up on the international tribunal (seeking prosecution of those who killed Hariri). This will make them even more determined. We will bring justice to those who killed Pierre Gemayel." >>>cont
