Bushies try to quash USS Cole probe into Al Qaeda |
Bush Quashed FBI bin Laden Probe. Why did Bush block FBI investigator
John O' Neil from entering Yemen in August 2001 to investigate the
"USS Cole" bombing?
The US ambassador to Yemen, Ms Barbara Bodine, forbade O'Neill and his
team of so- called Rambos (as the Yemeni authorities called them) from
entering Yemen. In August 2001, O'Neill resigned in frustration and
took up a new job as head of security at the World Trade Centre. He
died in the September 11th attack.
O'Neill:...clear evidence in Yemen of bin Laden's guilt in the
bombing of the USS Cole...State Department prevented him from
getting it."
O'Neill investigated the bombings of the World Trade Centre in 1993, a
US base in Saudi Arabia in 1996, the US embassies in Nairobi and
Dar-Es-Salaam in 1998, and the USS Cole last year.
Laila Helms, the part Afghan niece of the former CIA director and
former US ambassador to Tehran Richard Helms, is described as the
Mata-Hari of US-Taliban negotiations
Ms Helms brought Sayed Rahmatullah Hashimi, an adviser to Mullah Omar,
to Washington for five days in March 2001 - after the Taliban had
destroyed the ancient Buddhas of Bamiyan. Hashimi met the directorate
of Central Intelligence at the CIA and the Bureau of Intelligence and
Research at the State Department.
In negotiations which continued until July, the US then took a more
discreet position, letting the UN envoy Francesc Vendrell do most of
the work and appointing a former US ambassador to Pakistan, Thomas
Simons, to represent the US at informal meetings in Berlin.
The last direct US contact with the Taliban was on August 2nd, 2001,
when Christina Rocca, the director of Asian affairs at the State
Department, met the Taliban ambassador in Islamabad. Ms Rocca was
previously in charge of contacts with Islamist guerrilla groups at the
CIA, where in the 1980s, she oversaw the delivery of Stinger missiles
to Afghan mujaheddin.
The last direct US contact with the Taliban was on August 2nd, 2001.
"At one moment during the negotiations, the U.S. representatives told
the Taliban, 'either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we
bury you under a carpet of bombs'," Brisard said in an interview in
Paris."

Do you just PLAY stupid, or are is this real you. If the former,
PLEASE tell us who was in office in August 2001. If the latter,
you simply can't read.

It was a freudian slip on Dana's part.
He knows in his heart that Gore realy won in 2000.
