Dear Madison City Alders, I have grown up in Madison and currently attend UW-Madison as an undergraduate. I am writing to encourage you to adopt the new proposition, Humanitarian Priorities in Afghanistan, that is before you next week.  Growing up here in Madison, I never knew how special this place was until I was old enough to travel and live outside of it for a while.  Madison is truly one of the most collectively aware and active places I have ever been in my short life, and I have very high hopes for the humanitarian values that we advocate as a community.  The proposal before you is a very logical extension of the compassion that people in this city express all the time, towards each other and the rest of the world.  I really hope you will all adopt the proposition so that our city can stand proudly by it's long time value of human rights. The impending tragedy facing the Afghani people is something I cannot bear to think about, let alone allow to happen in my name.  I hope this city can stand together in affirming our vision for a just and peaceful world. We are looking to you to make a difference. Thank you for your time, X _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp _______________________________________________ policy@madpeace.org http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-policy September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

Forwarded From: X =============================   WHITE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE       Office of the Spokesman       Washington, DC       November 13, 2001       Detention, Treatment, and Trial of Certain Non-Citizens in the War Against       Terrorism       Military Order       By the authority vested in me as President and as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States by the       Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Authorization for Use of Military Force Joint       Resolution (Public Law 107-40, 115 Stat. 224) and sections 821 and 836 of title 10, United States Code, it is hereby       ordered as follows:       Section 1. Findings.       (a) International terrorists, including members of al Qaida, have carried out attacks on United States diplomatic and       military personnel and facilities abroad and on citizens and property within the United States on a scale that has created a       state of armed conflict that requires the use of the United States Armed Forces.       (b) In light of grave acts of terrorism and threats of terrorism, including the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, on the       headquarters of the United States Department of Defense in the national capital region, on the World Trade Center in New       York, and on civilian aircraft such as in Pennsylvania, I proclaimed a national emergency on September 14, 2001 (Proc.       7463, Declaration of National Emergency by Reason of Certain Terrorist Attacks).       (c) Individuals acting alone and in concert involved in international terrorism possess both the capability and the intention to       undertake further terrorist attacks against the United States that, if not detected and prevented, will cause mass deaths,       mass injuries, and massive destruction of property, and may place at risk the continuity of the operations of the United       States Government.       (d) The ability of the United States to protect the United States and its citizens, and to help its allies and other cooperating       nations protect their nations and their citizens, from such further terrorist attacks depends in significant part upon using       the United States Armed Forces to identify terrorists and those who support them, to disrupt their activities, and to       eliminate their ability to conduct or support such attacks.       (e) To protect the United States and its citizens, and for the effective conduct of military operations and prevention of       terrorist attacks, it is necessary for individuals subject to this order pursuant to section 2 hereof to be detained, and, when       tried, to be tried for violations of the laws of war and other applicable laws by military tribunals.       more       (OVER)       2       (f) Given the danger to the safety of the United States and the nature of international terrorism, and to the extent provided       by and under this order, I find consistent with section 836 of title 10, United States Code, that it is not practicable to apply       in military commissions under this order the principles of law and the rules of evidence generally recognized in the trial of       criminal cases in the United States district courts.       (g) Having fully considered the magnitude of the potential deaths, injuries, and property destruction that would result from       potential acts of terrorism against the United States, and the probability that such acts will occur, I have determined that       an extraordinary emergency exists for national defense purposes, that this emergency constitutes an urgent and       compelling govern-ment interest, and that issuance of this order is necessary to meet the emergency.       Sec. 2. Definition and Policy.       (a) The term "individual subject to this order" shall mean any individual who is not a United States citizen with respect to       whom I determine from time to time in writing that:       (1) there is reason to believe that such individual, at the relevant times,       (i) is or was a member of the organization known as al Qaida;       (ii) has engaged in, aided or abetted, or conspired to commit, acts of international terrorism, or acts in preparation therefor,       that have caused, threaten to cause, or have as their aim to cause, injury to or adverse effects on the United States, its       citizens, national security, foreign policy, or economy; or       (iii) has knowingly harbored one or more individuals described in subparagraphs (i) or (ii) of subsection 2(a)(1) of this order;       and       (2) it is in the interest of the United States that such individual be subject to this order.       (b) It is the policy of the United States that the Secretary of Defense shall take all necessary measures to ensure that any       individual subject to this order is detained in accordance with section 3, and, if the individual is to be tried, that such       individual is tried only in accordance with section 4.       (c) It is further the policy of the United States that any individual subject to this order who is not already under the control       of the Secretary of Defense but who is under the control of any other officer or agent of the United States or any State       shall, upon delivery of a copy of such written determination to such officer or agent, forthwith be placed under the control of       the Secretary of Defense.       Sec. 3. Detention Authority of the Secretary of Defense. Any individual subject to this order shall be --       (a) detained at an appropriate location designated by the Secretary of Defense outside or within the United States;       (b) treated humanely, without any adverse distinction based on race, color, religion, gender, birth, wealth, or any similar       criteria;       more       3       (c) afforded adequate food, drinking water, shelter, clothing, and medical treatment;       (d) allowed the free exercise of religion consistent with the requirements of such detention; and       (e) detained in accordance with such other conditions as the Secretary of Defense may prescribe.       Sec. 4. Authority of the Secretary of Defense Regarding Trials of Individuals Subject to this Order.       (a) Any individual subject to this order shall, when tried, be tried by military commission for any and all offenses triable by       military commission that such individual is alleged to have committed, and may be punished in accordance with the       penalties provided under applicable law, including life imprisonment or death.       (b) As a military function and in light of the findings in section 1, including subsection (f) thereof, the Secretary of Defense       shall issue such orders and regulations, including orders for the appointment of one or more military commissions, as may       be necessary to carry out subsection (a) of this section.       (c) Orders and regulations issued under subsection (b) of this section shall include, but not be limited to, rules for the       conduct of the proceedings of military commissions, including pretrial, trial, and post-trial procedures, modes of proof,       issuance of process, and qualifications of attorneys, which shall at a minimum provide for --       (1) military commissions to sit at any time and any place, consistent with such guidance regarding time and place as the       Secretary of Defense may provide;       (2) a full and fair trial, with the military commission sitting as the triers of both fact and law;       (3) admission of such evidence as would, in the opinion of the presiding officer of the military commission (or instead, if       any other member of the commission so requests at the time the presiding officer renders that opinion, the opinion of the       commission rendered at that time by a majority of the commission), have probative value to a reasonable person;       (4) in a manner consistent with the protection of information classified or classifiable under Executive Order 12958 of April       17, 1995, as amended, or any successor Executive Order, protected by       statute or rule from unauthorized disclosure, or otherwise protected by law, (A) the handling of, admission into evidence of,       and access to materials and information, and (B) the conduct, closure of, and access to proceedings;       (5) conduct of the prosecution by one or more attorneys designated by the Secretary of Defense and conduct of the       defense by attorneys for the individual subject to this order;       (6) conviction only upon the concurrence of two-thirds of the members of the commission present at the time of the vote, a       majority being present;       (7) sentencing only upon the concurrence of two-thirds of the members of the commission present at the time of the vote,       a majority being present; and       more       (OVER)       4       (8) submission of the record of the trial, including any conviction or sentence, for review and final decision by me or by the       Secretary of Defense if so designated by me for that purpose.       Sec. 5. Obligation of Other Agencies to Assist the Secretary of Defense.       Departments, agencies, entities, and officers of the United States shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, provide       to the Secretary of Defense such assistance as he may request to implement this order.       Sec. 6. Additional Authorities of the Secretary of Defense.       (a) As a military function and in light of the findings in section 1, the Secretary of Defense shall issue such orders and       regulations as may be necessary to carry out any of the provisions of this order.       (b) The Secretary of Defense may perform any of his functions or duties, and may exercise any of the powers provided to       him under this order (other than under section 4(c)(8) hereof) in accordance with section 113(d) of title 10, United States       Code.       Sec. 7. Relationship to Other Law and Forums.       (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to --       (1) authorize the disclosure of state secrets to any person not otherwise authorized to have access to them;       (2) limit the authority of the President as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces or the power of the President to grant       reprieves and pardons; or       (3) limit the lawful authority of the Secretary of Defense, any military commander, or any other officer or agent of the United       States or of any State to detain or try any person who is not an individual subject to this order.       (b) With respect to any individual subject to this order --       (1) military tribunals shall have exclusive jurisdiction with respect to offenses by the individual; and       (2) the individual shall not be privileged to seek any remedy or maintain any proceeding, directly or indirectly, or to have       any such remedy or proceeding sought on the individual's behalf, in (i) any       court of the United States, or any State thereof, (ii) any court of any foreign nation, or (iii) any international tribunal.       (c) This order is not intended to and does not create any right, benefit, or privilege, substantive or procedural, enforceable       at law or equity by any party, against the United States, its departments, agencies, or other entities, its officers or       employees, or any other person.       (d) For purposes of this order, the term "State" includes any State, district, territory, or possession of the United States.       more       5       (e) I reserve the authority to direct the Secretary of Defense, at any time hereafter, to transfer to a governmental authority       control of any individual subject to this order. Nothing in this order shall be construed to limit the authority of any such       governmental authority to prosecute any individual for whom control is transferred.       Sec. 8. Publication.       This order shall be published in the Federal Register.       GEORGE W.

The Big Lie Brigid McMenamin, Forbes.com, 09.17.01, 1:10 PM ET Must Americans sacrifice their liberty to achieve safety? The knee-jerk reaction to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. has been to say yes. Two out of three Americans are willing to surrender civil liberties to stop terrorism, according to an ABC-Washington Post poll taken the day after the attacks. "I'm puking every time I hear that," says Baltimore lawyer Thomas Bowden. "The idea is to compromise their lifestyle. We keep ours the same." It's also irresponsible to suggest waiving civil rights. Take the bill passed by the Senate two days after the attack. It would permit police to tape phones and seize Internet records without a search warrant. That would leave Americans vulnerable to even greater evils. "It is something we will all regret down the road," says Timothy Lynch, a constitutional law expert with the Cato Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank. Most threatened is the Fourth Amendment prohibition against unreasonable searches. Does that safeguard have to be scrapped to search airline passengers more thoroughly? No, it doesn't. Airports already use machines sensitive enough to detect a box cutter. Luggage and people are already searched, but these searches don't raise constitutional issues, unless a government is involved. The Constitution restricts only official actions, not private ones. Courts agree that people can't expect much privacy in airports anyhow. What about when police are involved? They usually need a search warrant before raiding a home or tapping the phone. But police seldom have trouble persuading a judge to sign one. The standards are lax, especially when a terrorist is involved. This week America Online (nyse: AOL - news - people) and EarthLink (nasdaq: ELNK - news - people) cooperated with the FBI investigation by providing information about certain subscribers, according to the Washington Post. "This is already constitutional," explains lawyer James Harper, a privacy advocate and former counsel to the House Judiciary Committee. So why waive the Fourth Amendment and allow the government to eavesdrop and seize records without a warrant? Is the Justice Department trying to exploit a crisis for illicit purposes? "Sometimes they take advantage of these tragedies," sighs Lynch, citing antiterrorist laws inspired by the bombing of the Federal building in Oklahoma City in 1996. Sacrificing rights didn't work then and it's dishonest for law enforcement to pretend that waiving civil rights now will work, either. Even if giving up some rights would help some, Americans shouldn't do it. That would be a victory for the terrorists, who sought to destroy a way of life. Even temporary measures tend to become permanent, as the British have discovered since the 1970s, when they waived some rights to thwart bombings by the Irish Republican Army. Giving up rights might even lead the U.S. into autocratic rule--which is what the terrorists want and what the Founding Fathers were trying to prevent when they wrote the Bill of Rights. America is built on a healthy distrust of government power. In the words of Ben Franklin, "Those who trade liberty for security will have neither." __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?

You should contact XX and XX as well on this.  Tom is on the CC because of an elections screw-up and was nominated because he also represents the same district already on the Dane Co. Board of Supervisors.  He might be more open since he probably won't try to run for CC for the next election. Also, you don't have to have the text ready by Thursday because it can be introduced "By Title Only," which means only the title of the resolution is given at that time and you'll have until the Thursday of tthe week before the Nov. 20 CC meeting to work out the wording.  That's my strong recommendation!

Hi X, Thanks for keeping us in the loop.  I will work on the sample letter for announce, and someone will do a press release regarding the resolutions.  We could have these things done by tomorrow night (11/15).  We can also work on notifying the other national Independent news sources that you mentioned. There are other activists in the committee who are more experienced with media, so we will get back to you if there is more we can do. BRAVO!! on your hard work, policy committee.  MAPC is fortunate to have such committed persons alerting the community about these issues. Take care. ______________________________ X X >From: X> >Reply-To: media@madpeace.org >To: <media@madpeace.org> >Subject: [MAPC-media] city council resolution >Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2001 13:29:28 -0600 > >Dear media cmte members, > >Below is a copy of an e-mail I just sent to the announce list regarding the >City Council peace/humanitarian resolution (to be voted on NOVEMBER 20th!). > >We obviously need media work around this!  And I think it's a big enough >issue to pull out the stops with local media outlets (Cap Times, WI State >Journal, Isthmus, Madison Times, student papers, WORT-FM, WYOU TV, WMMM >radio, WI Public Radio & TV, etc.), and to also try some national >alternative media, like Pacifica, Democracy Now! in Exile, the Progressive >magazine, Z magazine. > >It would also be GREAT to have a sample op/ed and/or letter to the editor >sent to MAPC folks to encourage them to write local media in support of the >resolution.  Maybe there are certain community leaders within MAPC we could >specifically ask to write op/eds or letters?? > >If you need any more info, feel free to contact us at policy@madpeace.org. >You can also call me at the numbers at the end of this message. > >Thanks! >-X > >                     ~~~ please forward this widely ~~~ > >*** CONTACT YOUR ALDER & THE MAYOR TODAY - THE VOTE IS NEXT TUES NOV 20! >*** > >A resolution calling on the U.S. federal government to place humanitarian >and human rights concerns foremost in its policies and actions in >Afghanistan and surrounding regions was introduced this morning to the >Madison Common Council (text below).  We have _less than one week_ before >the vote on Tuesday, Nov 20 to let the Mayor and alders know we want our >city to go on record in support of peace - ACT TODAY! > >** Call or e-mail your alder and the Mayor and ask them to support the >resolution (title: Humanitarian Priorities in Afghanistan) TODAY! > >Mayor Bauman: e-mail sbauman@ci.madison.wi.us  or call 608-266-4611 >Alder district and contact info at http://www.ci.madison.wi.us/council >Alder e-mails and phone #s also listed at end of this e-mail. > >** Attend the Tues, Nov 20 council meeting to register and/or speak in >support of the resolution! > >The Council meeting starts 6:30 pm, Tues Nov 20, in room 201 of the >City-County bldg, 210 Martin Luther King, Jr Blvd (just off Capitol >Square), >but register EARLY (6 pm) to make sure your input is recorded! > > >Title:    Humanitarian Priorities in Afghanistan > >A RESOLUTION regarding the urgent need to provide emergency humanitarian >assistance and development assistance to civilians in Afghanistan, >including >Afghan refugees in surrounding countries. > >WHEREAS, a disastrous humanitarian crisis is underway, with an estimated >7.5 >million people in Afghanistan facing critical food shortage or outright >starvation this winter;

The CC was well aware of the AC's emergency response plan.  The problem was that the triggering event -- as you point out -- was not dramatic enough to trigger the AC's "emergency action" plan.  However, it was a significant development -- the first U.S. involvement in ground combat and the first U.S. fatalities -- and we felt a need to acknowledge it in some way.  So we cast about for other ways to respond, but, largely due to lack of an advance plan for immediate response to less dramatic developments, ultimately did nothing. We discussed this further at the CC meeting today, and agreed that future developments in the war not constituting "emergencies" should trigger non-Action responses -- press releases, press conferences, tabling & leafletting, etc.  I think that will make things go a lot more smoothly the next time something like this happens.

Hello all, I am assuming that the meeting place has not been determined since I did not get the poster from X.  I am for having it at Wilmar.  Getting there through bus and biking is not that difficult.  Many students of the campus already live in that neighborhood.  But perhaps not the students who have already attended meetings.  And the number three bus goes right down Jenifer St. It won't be easy for me to distribute the poster on Sunday or the rest of today.  I can get posters to the CC meeting if others wish to help distribute.  I won't be able to check my e-mail until later today, but if a poster is sent to me, since X said she already had it on her computer, I can copy it at MCC tomorrow and bring it to the CC meeting. I won't be able to stay long at the CC meeting.  I cook dinner for my house every other Sunday. Take care X September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

I guess the difference to me is that "security concerns around U.S. military actions" is too passive.  Yet coming out and saying that the bombing is making humanitarian aid impossible goes too far.  So I'm suggesting something like "disrupted as a [direct?] result[consequence?] of the U.S air campaign". > > > If we really wanted to give this resolution some sting (particularly assuming > > that it might in fact get a bit of national press) we could finish this off > > this a declaration like: > > > > BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the people of Madison, in solidarity with the > > international community and in their capacity as citizens of the United > > States, > > will hold the Government of the United States responsible for both the > > direct consequences of its military policy in Afghanistan and the results of > > indifference to the priority of our humanitarian concerns. > > > > I support adding another clause along these lines (although I'd vote for > "considering" the government responsible instead of "holding" them > responsible - holding them responsible infers we'd DO something, which we > really can't, unless we can get the city to secede, which would be SO > great...

Another friend (X) I flew this amendment past said similar things, so I must be a little bit off base.  I agree that "considering" is a better phrasing-- it's closer to what I intended, which was a reference to the mechanism of elections. And you're other adjustments seem on target as well. > Realistically, for the resolution to pass the Council, we'll have to either > water this clause down or take it out.  But I don't think there's anything > wrong with starting with something a bit more challenging and then adapting > it to the political reality.  And people in MAPC will love this clause.

Yeah, I agree totally it's a long shot.  But I think it should be pushed a bit. The fine line we walk with this is between irrelevance and untoward fury.  The opportunity that I intended this clause to exploit is to draw out the rabid jingoists while putting them at a decided rhetorical disadvantage, appealling to the middle-roaders who might actually pause at the formula of a zero-sum game between vengeance and innocent humans' suffering. That would be *effective*.  To the extent that my phrasings or choice of topics doesn't further this aim, I disavow them. We could get a mild little statement passed that wouldn't ruffle any feathers.  Or we could "condemn the bombing" and be dismissed in the same breath as "They banned the pledge".  I'm hoping for another possiblity. > PS- I haven't raved in at least 5 years.

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Who did it? Foreign Report presents an alternative view Israels military intelligence service, Aman, suspects that Iraq is the state that sponsored the suicide attacks on the New York Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington. Directing the mission, Aman officers believe, were two of the worlds foremost terrorist masterminds: the Lebanese Imad Mughniyeh, head of the special overseas operations for Hizbullah, and the Egyptian Dr Ayman Al Zawahiri, senior member of Al-Qaeda and possible successor of the ailing Osama Bin Laden. The two men have not been seen for some time. Mughniyeh is probably the worlds most wanted outlaw. Unconfirmed reports in Beirut say he has undergone plastic surgery and is unrecognisable. Zawahiri is thought to be based in Egypt. He could be Bin Ladens chief representative outside Afghanistan. The Iraqis, who for several years paid smaller groups to do their dirty work, were quick to discover the advantages of Al-Qaeda. The Israeli sources claim that for the past two years Iraqi intelligence officers were shuttling between Baghdad and Afghanistan, meeting with Ayman Al Zawahiri. According to the sources, one of the Iraqi intelligence officers, Salah Suleiman, was captured last October by the Pakistanis near the border with Afghanistan. The Iraqis are also reported to have established strong ties with Imad Mughniyeh. "Weve only got scraps of information, not the full picture," admits one intelligence source, "but it was good enough for us to send a warning six weeks ago to our allies that an unprecedented massive terror attack was expected. One of our indications suggested that Imad Mughniyeh met with some of his dormant agents on secret trips to Germany. We believe that the operational brains behind the New-York attack were Mughniyeh and Zawahiri, who were probably financed and got some logistical support from the Iraqi Intelligence Service (SSO)." Mughniyeh was the only one believed to have tried it before. On April 12th 1997, he was reported to be only two hours away from achieving the highest goal of any terrorist organisation (until last week): blowing up an Israeli El-Al airliner above Tel Aviv. A man carrying a forged British passport with the name Andrew Jonathan Neumann was in a Jerusalem hotel preparing a bomb he was supposed to take on board an El-Al flight leaving Israel, when it accidentally went off. Andrew Jonathan Neumann was very badly injured but strong enough to reveal later to the Israelis that he was not British but Lebanese, and that his operation was supposed to be a special "gift" to Israel from Imad Mughniyeh. A psychopath "Bin Laden is a schoolboy in comparison with Mughniyeh," says an Israeli who knows Mughniyeh . "The guy is a genius, someone who refined the art of terrorism to its utmost level. We studied him and reached the conclusion that he is a clinical psychopath motivated by uncontrollable psychological reasons, which we have given up trying to understand. The killing of his two brothers by the Americans only inflamed his strong motivation." Experts on Iraq and Saddam Hussein also believe that Iraq was the state behind the two terror masterminds. "In recent months, there was a change, and Iraq decided to get into the terror business. On July 7th, they tried for the first time to send a suicide bomber, trained in Baghdad, to blow up Tel Aviv airport (Foreign Report No. 2651)." Our sources believe that it will be very difficult to get to the bottom of this unprecedented terror operation. However, they believe the chief of the Iraqi SSO is Qusai Hussein, the dictators son, and his organisation is the most likely to have been involved. Mughniyeh, 48, is a "sick man", says an intelligence officer who was in charge of his file. He is considered by Western intelligence agencies as the most dangerous active terrorist today. He is wanted by several governments and the Americans have put a $2m reward on his head. [Detailed list of Mughniyeh operations removed for Non-Subscriber Extract] It was the assassination of one man in March 1984 that is said to have made Mughniyeh the CIAs most wanted terrorist. Mughniyeh allegedly kidnapped the head of the CIA station in Beirut, William Buckley. The kidnapping triggered what later became known as Irangate, when the Americans tried to exchange Buckley (and others) with arms for Iran. However, the attempt ended in a fiasco. By one unconfirmed account, Mughniyeh tortured and killed Buckley with his own hands. A year later, in a combined CIA/Mossad operation, a powerful car bomb went off at the entrance to the house of Hizbullahs spiritual leader, Sheikh Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah. Seventy-five people were killed. One of them was his brother. Hunted by the CIA and the Mossad, Mughniyeh hid in Iran. In February 1992, Israeli helicopter gunships attacked the convoy of the then head of Hizbullah, Sheikh Abas Musawi, in South Lebanon. Musawi, his wife and children were killed and the revenge attack followed a month later. According to press reports, Mughniyeh was called back into action and, in a well-planned and devastating attack, his people blew up the Israeli embassy in Argentina. The building was demolished and 92 were killed. Only last year, after a long investigation, did Argentina issue a warrant for Mughniyehs arrest. The reprisal for the attack in Argentina came in December 1994, when a car bomb went off in a southern Shiite suburb of Beirut. Four people were killed. One of them was called Mughniyeh, but to the deep disappointment of those Israelis who planted the bomb it was the wrong one. Mughniyehs life was saved, but his other brother Fuad was killed. Mughniyeh waited for his opportunity for revenge. Our Israeli sources claim to see Mughniyehs signature on the wreckage in New York and Washington. How to counter this kind of terrorism? "To fight these bastards you dont need a military attack," said an experienced Israeli commando officer. "You only need to adopt Israels assassination policy."

He arrived from Quetta, Pakistan, accompanied by his personal doctor and a close aide -- possibly Ayman el Zawahiri, a leader of Egypt's Islamic Jihad, now bin Laden's right hand man, the newspaper said      . Le Figaro cited a "professional partner" linked to the hospital's management as its source.       Besides a stream of local dignitaries and family members, bin Laden's visitors included a local CIA agent, the newspaper reported. The agent was widely recognized locally, Le Figaro said, and later told several friends of the meeting.       The alleged American spy was called back to the CIA's McLean, Va., headquarters July 15 -- a day after bin Laden checked out, Le Figaro reported, citing "authorized sources."       Why bin Laden would have met with a CIA officer -- or vice versa -- is unclear. Even before the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, the Saudi millionaire figured among America's top terrorist suspects, blamed for several earlier plots against U.S. targets, including the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.       But the French newspaper asserted CIA-bin Laden links stretched back years, and appeared to suggest bin Laden gave the agency information regarding future terrorist strikes.       "The Dubai meeting is therefore a logical follow to a "certain American policy," the newspaper said.       In particular, the newspaper noted that just two weeks after bin Laden checked out of the Dubai hospital, United Arab Emirates security agents arrested the alleged mastermind of a plot to blow up the American Embassy in Paris. The suspect, a French-Algerian named Djamel Beghal, earlier confessed to receiving his orders from bin Laden, according to French news media citing his written confession.       An American diplomat in Paris refused to comment on the Figaro article, or on reported allegations of an emergency meeting in Paris in August, between high level French and American intelligence officials.       "We're just not comment any of that stuff," he said. "We can't talk about meetings like that may or may not have happen."       Le Figaro said bin Laden had serious kidney problems, and reportedly had a dialysis machine imported to Afghanistan last year. Citing a March 2000 report by Asia Week, the newspaper said bin Laden's illness stemmed from "a renal infection that has spread to the liver, and needs specialized treatment."       The head of the Dubai hospital's urology department, Terry Callaway, reportedly refused to answer questions about bin Laden's alleged stay. Radio France reported Wednesday the American hospital has denied bin Laden was treated there. Copyright © 2001 News World Communications, Inc. All rights reserved. Radio reports new CIA-Bin Laden detailsThe Washington Times www.washtimes.com Radio reports new CIA-Bin Laden details Elizabeth Bryant UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Published 11/1/2001      PARIS, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- Radio France International offered additional details Thursday of allegations that terrorist suspect Osama bin Laden met with a CIA officer in the United Arab Emirates in July.       The CIA has dismissed as "total absurdity" a report carried Wednesday by Radio France and by France's Le Figaro newspaper, alleging that a CIA agent met with bin Laden at a Dubai clinic, where the suspected terrorist was reportedly treated for kidney problems.       The clinic, said to be the American Hospital in Dubai, also denied bin Laden had been a patient. The American Embassy in Paris has not commented on the report.       The Paris-based International Herald Tribune suggested the erroneous information may have been leaked by opponents in France to the U.S. military campaign in Afghanistan.       "Disinformation may have been planted ... to suggest a continuing covert linkage between the CIA and bin Laden," a French intelligence source told the Herald Tribune.       Nonetheless, Radio France International, for one, said it stood by its report. In a follow-up Thursday, the French radio station identified the alleged CIA agent as Larry Mitchell, "a connoisseur of the Arab world and specialist of the (Arab) peninsula."       Mitchell's business card identified him as a "consular agent," the radio said. In fact, RFI alleged, he was a CIA agent and a prominent fixture in Dubai's expatriate community. According to both the radio and Le Figaro, Mitchell was recalled to the CIA's headquarters in McLean, Va., on July 15.       The radio also gave the precise date of Mitchell's supposed encounter with bin Laden -- July 12, two days before the Saudi dissident reportedly checked out of the hospital.       Neither the Figaro, nor Radio France offered independent confirmation of the report. The radio station also cited no source for its latest allegations. Earlier, the Figaro said its story was leaked by a partner of the hospital's management.       In an interview published Thursday in Le Figaro, Arab specialist Antoine Sfeir said he was not surprised on the alleged CIA-bin Laden ties.       "Bin Laden maintained contacts with bin Laden until 1998," Sfeir said. "Those contacts didn't end after bin Laden moved to Afghanistan. Until the last minute, CIA agents hoped bin Laden would return to U.S. command, as was the case before 1998."       Sfeir also maintained the information about the CIA-bin Laden connection had been in circulation for the past 15 days.

The following committees need to update their next meeting on the MAPC Meetings page: http://madpeace.org/Wiki/Meetings Media, Education & Outreach, Policy, Action, Communications I see that some of the committees are putting their meeting announcements on their committee pages, which is great, but don't forget to put it on the meetings page too. Furthermore, it's nice for the committees to put up their minutes so we all can see what's happening.  To do that you can make a new Wiki Page, but don't call it "Minutes" or "Oct17Minutes" because it is not clear which committee that is.  Instead try a name like ComOct17 or PolOct17 or something like that. Great to see people being active!  We need to spark up some discussion about our Nov. 17th Action.  It's not something for the action committee, it's a full mobilization of the MAPC.  What are each of the committees doing to participate?  As a member of the communications committee, I'm going to make this "Editable Page" (or Wiki Page) that the different committees and rogue individuals can centralize discussion: http://madpeace.org/Wiki/November17Action Peace, X ------------------------------------------------------------------------ X Email: X Phone: (XXX) XXX-XXXX Address: X ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ discuss@madpeace.org mailing list http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-discuss September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

Hi Everyone,     This week is an important time to recruit more participants for the Friendship Fast.  To that end, posters have been printed up and will be available at the UW Greens Infoshop in University Square.  Please stop by there and pick up a few to put up in your classrooms, on campus, downtown, at work, wherever you can think of.     If you are willing and able to help out for a couple of hours, we will be meeting this Thursday and Friday at 5 PM at the Union to go out postering and chalking.  More importantly, we're going to be tabling in the dorms at lunch and/or dinner time this Thursday and/or Friday, depending on how many people we have.  Please let me know right now when you are available, and if you'd rather table or poster, so I can figure out if we have enough people. Thanks a lot! X September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.
