Web Reconnaissance for 04/21/2006

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.

Ray Robison writes Fitting the pieces together “In February 2001, the Sunday Times ran the article Was this Saddam’s Bomb by Gwynne Roberts. I couldn't find the original but it is also on Globalsecurity.org .
I only recently read this article and found it interesting but very hard to believe. One of the newly released documents CMPC-2003-015757 contains the Roberts article in English. This is the first time I have seen it. I did some research and found no serious academic or professional rebuttals other than people who also found it hard to believe. However, it seems that supporting evidence has been right in front of us for a few weeks now.”

Captain Ed writes Terrorists, Inc. “The Hamas government of the Palestinian Authority underscored its terrorist nature by placing one of the more notorious terrorists in charge of its new Islamist security forces. Jamal Abu Samhadana, whose track record includes the murder of US Marines in Gaza during a diplomatic mission, will create and command the new force:”

Confederate Yankee writes Click. Print. Bang. “Greg Mitchell, editor of Editor & Publisher, asks the media do what it can to overthrow the Bush Administration. Within legal bounds, of course:
…Lacking an impending election, or a real impeachable scandal, what does Mitchell plead?”

From the diaries section of RedState, Mark Kilmer writes Dana Milbank defends evil “I've thought many untoward things about WashPost lefty Dana Milbank, and I've always know that his mind was weak enough to force him to support some nasty things because of his anti-Bushi-McChimpHitlerHalliburtonQuagmire BushLied™ passions. And I suppose I knew, deep down, that Milbank would support the murderous regime of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in an effort to take a few cheap shots a[t] President Bush.”

Andi of Andi’s World writes Being on the Right Side of an Issue “Last night I had a selfish moment. I won't bore you with the details, I'll only tell you that our wounded troops have a way of putting things into perspective, and leveling you. Mix them with an incredibly supportive spouse, and it's a powerful combination.”

t.f.boggs writes Music From Heaven “On my first deployment to Iraq I was stationed at a prison camp in southern Iraq. The invasion had just started and prisoners were coming in bunches. One of the main needs at our camp was for Arabic speaking translators that could assist the military with the handling of the prisoners. The translators were mainly from Kuwait but some were native Kuwaitis who were living as far away as London, England.”

ROFASix writes Generals & CojonesWho is taking responsibility? That simple question was posed recently in the Philadelphia Inquirer. It was referring to the recent six-pack of “retarred” general officers who demanded the SecDef resign in a sudden flurry of media coverage last week. The article offered one of the more cogent and evenhanded versions of something I had written earlier about here, Dereliction of Duty (Again?).”
