[…] ‘pro’ campaign there was no mention; and he was told about it. You leak, we brief Michael Smith, of The Times, who got the big leak over Iraq, the so-called Downing Street memo, () has described meeting his civil service source, ‘a friend’, to get it. Yet despite this being as big and as […]
[…] not going hard enough for some within the Washington foreign policy networks. What was the geostrategic point of blaming Bin Laden? The Bush regime’s real target was Iraq and their attempts to link Iraq to the Twin Towers were feeble and incompetent. If it was a fake, could they not have manufactured more plausible […]
[…] includes the ‘plethora of media stories about Saddam Hussein’s chemical and biological weapons capability’. So, the British government has a new fibbing-machine that enables us to bomb Iraq whenever it is convenient. (Perhaps also to join a common European currency, or not?) When the complete history of MI6 in the Cold War is known, […]
[…] type of cooperation was exemplified by such things as the occasional employment of ex-SS and Wehrmacht men as military instructors, intelligence officers, and/or propagandists by Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Libya; the sporadic material support offered to the PLO by European neo-fascists (and vice versa); Qadhdafi’s bankrolling of ex-SS commando Otto Skorzeny’s Paladingruppe; the financial […]

In The Sunday Telegraph of 20 March he ran a piece, ‘Iran plans secret “nuclear university” to […]
[…] the war; some of your favourite defence-related scandals of recent years (we get Aitken but not Gerald James; and in general, not enough about the arms to Iraq business); Labour’s attitudes to most of this; and concludes, as many have done before, that the British military-industrial-bureaucratic complex is an expensive rip-off of the tax-payer […]
