Secret Spy Stuff

A couple of the more intriguing items of the past few days are from ABC’s Blotter, as yet unconfirmed or run widely in the major media.  Al-Qaeda compound with potential high value targets to include Osama bin Laden under attack in eastern Afghanistan.  

Coalition now working over the wreckage, splatter for DNA samples (presumeably).

CIA rushing into Waziristan armed with fresh intel.

Interesting if true. The fact that it is not confirmed elsewhere may simply be a matter of good connections this guy has on matters no one will officially confirm.  The idea of ABC revealing that teams of CIA undercover operatives “with paramilitary training” are moving into Pakistan is disturbing, however, if it is jeopardizing anyone or any operation. Hard to know that without knowing the circumstances. For example, it was no big secret in the fall of 2001 that Special Forces teams had been inserted behind lines in Afghanistan.  There are already reports of the Taliban arresting, interrogating and executing suspected CIA collaborators in recent weeks, so that heat is already on. It is also possible the release of this kind of information is usual, real or not, if it prompts a reaction.

Meanwhile, a little more on something linked from another source in the weekend’s Kharnival of the Iranities. Iranian general missing in Turkey.

Topics: Afghanistan, al qaeda

   If that Iranian general did defect, I am looking forward to further dispatches! I can also imagine the squealing at the highest levels in the Iranian government.

   Just read ‘em. Maybe I’ll find time to do more with ‘em later. (And some things that are too short to excerpt and too good to not mention.) Please feel free to use this post for comments and trackbacks not

   Some Bill’s Bites posts, some things I excerpted and linked but I’m sending you to the original post. I may rearrange the order of the items within this post as I add new things that I think belong above the

   Iranian general missing in Turkey.

   Gobbled him up, did it?

   I would like to think, that this person defected and that the Turks are housing him in safety. But then any intelligence to be had, would only be viewed by the leftists and their media mouth pieces throughout the world, as false, a plan by the Israelis and the U.S. to justify taking out any Persian facilities, should the present situation, in Persia become more unstable (as its present leader is) and make that necessary.

   Bush and the Zionists fault you know.

   Would be nice to find out if double header, was in fact played. Actually, I’d settle for a pair of glasses, smeared with the residue of what once was. But alas, there are plenty more just like these two, still running loose.

   And of course, any still alive will scream ‘we were just civilians, playing one eyed Jack, at our weekly poker night.

   Cripes, hope all of what I posted in the way of links, comes out. ‘Cause if not, Jules will kick my ass out for breaking his machine.

   Nope, didn’t happen. “double header” was a pic’ of UBL and Zawahiri. “pair of glasses” was a solo shot of Zawahiri. “one eyed Jack, at our weekly poker night”, was Mullah Omar.

   How all of “Cripes, hope all of what I posted in the way of links, comes out. ‘Cause if not, Jules will kick my ass out for breaking his machine.”, was underlined, I have no clue.

   I wish we’d find their production facilities–as in PR production. Kill those putting out obscene DVD’s showing the barbarians hacking off the heads of innocents. That’s on my very long wish list, along with the One Eyed Jack and double header, et al.

   When generals defect, it’s usually a sign that things aren’t so hot in the motherland. Wonder what the general knows, and who he’ll be telling it to.
