"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
The Polish Bin-Laden Revelation: Uninformed, Naïve, or Just Plain Calculated?
"For a second let’s put this ‘license to kill’ BS aside, and look at the big picture. The CIA was not in any need of additional outside intelligence on Bin Laden’s whereabouts and movements. Why would they be?! During this period US operatives and NATO were working directly with Bin Laden; carrying out almost daily operations in the Caucasus, Central Asia, and some parts of the Balkans. Our CIA operatives, our State Department operatives, select NATO commanders including the Turkish branch, select Saudi officials including Bandar, and including two high-level ISI top officials, had several meetings with Zawahiri, including a critical meeting in Baku-Azerbaijan in late 1998. These are FACTS. In light of the facts, the idea that Polish guys were tipping off this same CIA on Bin Laden’s whereabouts and movements is simply comical. Nonsense."
