What was Judith Miller doing at an interrogation of Palestinians by Israeli "interrogators"? I'm trying to figure out whether Miller is most likely to be a Mossad or a CIA agent (probably both). Her background definitely deserves a closer look.

In December 2005, a jury in Florida acquitted former computer professor Sami al-Arian of eight terrorism charges and deadlocked on nine others. Arian eventually pleaded guilty to supporting members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and is slated to be deported after finishing a short prison term.

One of Arian's attorneys, William Moffit, also represented Ashqar in Chicago.

The case was prosecuted by the office of U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald, who is in the spotlight as the special counsel in the trial of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff.

The Hamas prosecution also featured another central player in the Libby saga: former New York Times reporter Judith Miller, who testified on behalf of prosecutors in Chicago about an Israeli interrogation session with Salah that she witnessed in the early 1990s.

Salah and his attorney argued that much of the evidence against him, including a confession, should be disregarded because it was obtained under torture when he was in Israeli custody. Miller testified that she saw no evidence of mistreatment when she witnessed an interrogation of Salah and -- in an unprecedented twist for a U.S. courtroom -- two Israeli interrogators testified under aliases that Salah was treated well.

Oh. Well, if Miller and the Israeli interrogators say there was no torture, there must not have been any torture...

I'd guess both Mossad and CIA or even part of a larger 'Mother Company' which encompasses both and other agencies which are really just public fronts.

This guy seems to be her biggest fan: http://judithmillerisacunt.blogspot.com/

I'd say that's a pretty good guess re: the CIA and the Mossad. Where does one end and the other begin? The closer one looks, the more the lines blur.

In other words, "who's zooming who"? Although I do have my own opinion.

Re: the blog and its very offensive name, I sympathize with the sentiment but not the blogger's unfortunate choice of words.

That blog aside... my own thoughts run along the lines of...

The global intelligence community, or at least those within it (the various agencies) who pull the strings, ARE The Powers That Be. The top dogs. At one time they may have worked for nations or huge multinational corporate interests or bloodline families or some other shadowy power brokers, but the position itself, the controlling of intelligence in all the directions it travels and the secrecy inherent in such a position provides unlimited opportunity for power. It's just too far fetched for me to think these operators with such power there for the taking before them would not sieze it. When you control what others base their decisions on, you control them, whether they know it or not.

thats right tsoldrin.

The idiots have taken over.

Maybe I should say the OTHER idiots ....

tsoldrin, it's not only the lines between the CIA and the Mossad that are blurred. If you take a closer look, you discover that these two are also deeply connected to global organized crime (drugs, weapons and human trafficking) and terrorist front groups such as "al Qaeda".

But their involvement is not limited to illegal businesses. Some important global businesses are fronts for either the Mossad or the CIA or both. The BCCI and Permindex, P-Tech and AGI come to immediately to mind, but there are many, many others.
