Q: "For storage? What is the American role then
in this base?"
A:
"They are building it for us. All the supervisors are
American."
Q: "What are those underground tunnels

Is
the CIA Behind the Iraqi "Insurgents"--and Global
Terrorism?
According
to a classified document prepared for Rumsfeld by his Defense
Science Board, the new organization--the "Proactive,
Preemptive Operations Group (P2OG)"--would actually carry
out secret missions designed to provoke terrorist groups into
committing violent acts. The P2OG, a 100-member, so-called
"counter-terrorist" organization with a
$100-million-a-year budget, would ostensibly target
"terrorist leaders," but according to P2OG documents
procured by Arkin, would in fact carry out missions designed to
"stimulate reactions" among "terrorist
groups"--which, according to the Defense Secretary's logic,
would subsequently expose them to "counter-attack" by
the good guys. In other words, the plan is to execute secret
military operations (assassinations, sabotage,
"deception") which would intentionally result in
terrorist attacks on innocent people, including
Americans--essentially, to "combat terrorism" by
causing it!
