... means for both Shi'a and Sunni Muslims. ' US/UK invaders deviously encouraged fear among both sects that the other would seek hegemony, inspiring 'polarization and bloody strife' (p . 35). Saddam Hussein joined a failed Ba'athist conspiracy in 1959 to assassinate President Quasim, who had gained power the year before in a nationalist coup that killed the Iraqi royal family and the prime minister. Quasim himself was ousted in 1963. In 1968 another coup brought Saddam Hussein's faction of the Ba'athist party into power. The leaders took advantage of CIA help, but Al-Ani argues that they remained independent of US influence. The new administration created, on the basis of nationalised oil ...

... late 1940s. (4 ) In these Palestine operations an 'anti-terrorist' squad was set up under the leadership of one ex SOE and one ex SAS man. "The squads consisted largely of ex-soldiers rather than experienced police or intelligence personnel", and their overall commander used them "to exploit existing intelligence to capture or kill insurgents themselves. " (5 ) In contemporary Northern Ireland the SAS and E4A, the Royal Ulster Constabulary's Mobile Support Unit have had a similar role.

... by others, Janney has pretty well solved Meyer's death, identifying the shooter. No, he doesn't have evidence that would satisfy a court, but by the standards of investigations of fifty-year-old murders, he has produced a well-documented solution. Though I think it very likely that it was the CIA who organised the killing – who else? – his evidence that it was the Agency is less substantial; and for the same reason that his account of Kennedy's death is unconvincing: he relies on sources who are not reliable. One is Robert D. Morrow, who had a minor role in the anti-Castro operations and wrote two books about the ...

... after most of the embassy staff were evacuated and it is that role which the book describes. There is a great deal about the day-to-day difficulties involved in maintaining the British presence in Beirut during a sporadic civil war when food, energy and transport became unreliable. The major incident in this period from Hancock's perspective was the killing of the American ambassador; and we get the old, familiar message of British diplomats and MI6, the Greeks and Romans story. In this version the British state, a declining power, represented by Hancock, tiptoed round, trying to maintain contact with all sides in the civil war in which they could play no part; while ...

... 12) Robin Cook at the Foreign Office Shayler Hundreds of column inches about the David Shayler affair between August 2 and August 10 1998 produced rather little of significance other than the fact that Shayler, while head of MI5's Libya desk, learned from his MI6 counterpart that 6 had bunged 100,000 at a Libyan exile group to try and kill Gadhafi. Trying to contain the situation, Whitehall began the flogging of straw men and the issuing of non-denial denials. An unnamed Foreign Office spokesman said, 'It is inconceivable that in a non-wartime situation that the government would authorise SIS to bump off a foreign leader. '( 13) A non-denial. ...

... a carefully honed script. This 'mad dog' imagery – that of an animal infected with rabies who can only be 'put down' – is the language of the West, the language of slaughtering Native Americans and making trophies out of their body parts. This kind of language could still be found in bumper stickers proclaiming 'save a walleye, kill an Indian' which could be found on cars of white fishermen protesting that Native Americans retained salmon fishing rights, while non-Indians could only fish during the season. Of course this viciousness is not unique to the Western elite, it is simply less sublimated, less polite. But then most of America is un- sublimated and ...

... that on many topics. But our method is essentially the comparative method -- to see how the media treat, for example, the crushing of the Turkish trade union movement under the military regime in 1981 versus their treatment of Solidarity's repression by the Communist regime in Poland in the same year. Or how they treat the Polish Communist government's killing of the Catholic priest Jerzy Popieluszko in 1984 versus the murder of church people in U.S . client states in Latin America. Or how they treat elections in friendly client states like El Salvador in the 1980s or Mexico and Russia in the 1990s, versus elections in states on the U.S . hit list, like Nicaragua ...
