Christmas Day Terror Plot Looks Like a Set-Up: Ad Dustour, Jordan
Jan 2nd, 2010 | 4 responses
Was this sheer incompetence – or is there something else going on? The scale of the intelligence mistakes surrounding the case of suspected Christmas Day underwear bomber Omar Farouk Abdul Muttalab are such, that many people, particularly Muslims, suspect that there is some “hidden force” behind the story.
According to columnist Hilmi Al Asmar of Jordan’s Ad Dustour newspaper, that unseen force is the “terrorism industry,” which is bent on maintaining public fear of Muslims and therefore, retaining control of U.S. policy making.
For Ad Dustour, Hilmi Al Asmar writes in part:
The smell of the “terrorism industry” reeks from accounts published about Nigerian Omar Farouk Abdul Muttalab’s Christmas Day attempt to bomb a Detroit-bound airliner. A study of the story’s details makes one unsure that the event happened as described and suggests that the scenario is a fabrication.
I was reluctant about revealing such feelings until I read a posting on what purports to be an Internet site belonging to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula – where the group takes credit for the operation. According to the site, al-Qaeda, which vows to slaughter Americans as a response to their “aggression” in Yemen, calls the incident one of its “achievements.”
That statement alone is enough for policymakers to blame it on al-Qaeda, terrorism, and of course, Islam. This is how a system that benefits from the fear mongering surrounding terror succeeds in restoring itself to the center of policy making in the United States and among its allies. Following a reduction of operations they call “terrorist,” this will bring the situation back to square one – where it stood after the September 11 attacks.

Makes no difference, the powers that be have decided it was a criminal act, not a military attack, and Mirandaized the crotch bomber. We will probably have to wait for a long trial and lots of hot air just like the above piece, just to get the basic facts and our security people will not get the opportunity to interview CB.
Either way, AQ wins.
I've been reading “False Flag Operation !” for the last 3 days. It's a big item with the AJTs (Alex Jones Truthers) , some of the Birfers, and even some on the left fringe of the Left.
Of course, there are some on the right fringe of the Right who want the “Codpiece Crusader” waterboarded, etc., etc. etc.
But. . .but. . . I like a good conspiracy theory! Well, except the plot's a little undeveloped on this one.
I hate to ask this, but what kind of animal is your icon?
My icon is (I suspect) a werewolf : peaceable mrmeangenes, who can turn into a raveningly sarcastic beast when encountering some of the full mooners who sneak into cyberspace…
