A few days ago I posted about the sudden resignation of Prince Turki al-Faisal, the Saudi ambassador to the US. The official explanation was that he wanted to spend more time with his family. I wrote that he had returned to deal with political problems that had arisen at home. A movement was afoot for the Saudis to make common cause with the US and Israel against the Shia in Iraq and Iran. Al-Faisal considered that strategy dangerous to the stability of the kingdom. He also thought that an attack on Iran would be a mistake.
Well, it has been confirmed. Princes Bandar and Turki are engaged in a power struggle. The issue is whether the Saudis should oppose the spread of conflict in the region, or actively assist the US/UK/Israeli war effort. The prime mover appears to be one Rihab Massoud, chief assistant to Prince Bandar (who was the former Saudi ambassador and is now the kingdom’s chief of security).

Now, everyone on Bandar’s level has lavish homes in other countries and a private plane waiting to transport him to safety at a moment’s notice. He has nothing personally to fear from the outbreak of a regional war. But Prince Turki is right: the attack on Iran will prove to be a catastrophic error. It will eventually cause the overthrow of the Saudi government, although the spreading Sunni-Shia conflict might do that all by itself.
US/Israeli money speaks with a loud voice. Remote viewing indicates that Saudi cooperation can be bought. Prince Turki needs to look to his own airplane. He’ll need it. I regret to say that I think all his fears will come true.
JOSE PADILLA has been tortured for 3 _ years. His attorneys now state that he is incapable of understanding the charges against him or participating in his own defense. Torture has destroyed his mind. The process has not produced any intelligence information of value. The government has withdrawn the heavily publicized “dirty bomb” accusation and really has no evidence against him. People are beginning to wonder why he is still being held in isolation and subjected to sensory deprivation.
Three and one half years of sensory deprivation? I cannot begin to imagine that.
However, I can tell you the REASON for it. President Bush personally ordered these things done to Padilla and he has never rescinded the order.
It’s not as if they just forgot. President Bush and his intimates take satisfaction akin to sexual pleasure from demonstrating their unlimited power. If Padilla were somehow pried out of their grasp they’d pick someone else to serve as poster child for state sadism.
Can something done to one man be a crime against humanity? I submit that it can.

JOHN MCCAIN has introduced a bill to ban free discussion on the internet. Sites, including blogs, will be severely penalized for unlawful speech. Sites “associated with” sex offenders will be banned. What does “associated with” mean? We may safely assume that sites supporting the deification of president Bush and the elevation of Mad John to the throne of absolute power will not be interfered with.
Some sites might survive for a while by turning off all comment, but the tidal wave of PC legislation will eventually bring them down. It is soon to be a crime to say anything that offends another, with some exceptions. You will be free to say whatever you like about white Southerners and those who support the Constitution, as long as it’s disparaging.

SENATOR HARRY REID got into office by promising, among other things, to stop the practice of inserting items into legislation in the dead of night without committee approval. Now he has done it himself. He inserted two items benefiting interests in his home state into a bill while everyone else was asleep. This is the textbook definition of hypocrisy.
One of the measures was a $4 million grant to a hospice. You don’t need to be a remote viewer to know that the beneficiary is a Reid supporter.
The other involves giving a huge piece of federal land to a county in eastern Nevada. A portion will be awarded to developers; the remainder will be transformed into a wilderness area. This is a struggle over water, not land. The capsule summary is as follows: powerful interests in Las Vegas want increased development; the constraint is the availability of water. Reid gave the developers what they wanted, in return for the future desertification of eastern Nevada.
Harry Reid, sleaze weasel.
