Mohammed Siddique Khan (dcsd) helps to sell Suskind's alarmist book

The One Percent Doctrine: Deep Inside America's Pursuit of Its Enemies Since 9/11
by Ron Suskind

This is what the publishers, Simon & Schuster say about the book;

The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Price of Loyalty takes readers inside the defining conflict of our era: the war between the U.S. and a growing, shadowy army of terrorists, armed with weapons of alarming power.

Relying on unique access to former and current government officials, this book will reveal for the first time how the U.S. Government - from President Bush on down - is frantically improvising to fight a new kind of war. Where is the enemy? What have been the real victories and defeats since September 11th? How are we actually fighting this war and how can it possibly be won?

Little, in fact, has been revealed about the nature of this struggle and the methods being used. This book will change that. (oh yeah ?) Readers will, for the first time, see harrowing close calls in America where thousands of lives have been saved - and learn how terrorists have artfully adapted to America's early success in capturing al Qaeda operatives.

Suskind will show readers what he calls "the invisible battlefield" - a global matrix where U.S. spies race to catch soldiers of jihad before they strike. It is a real life spy thriller with the world's future at stake. (I can't wait)

Suskind's report is filled with astonishing disclosures (unverifiable, hearsay and plain made up no doubt) and will profoundly reframe the debate about a war that, each day, redefines America and its place in the world.

David Rosenthal, publisher of Simon & Schuster, finds "a lot to be critical about, from outside and within the Republican Party. ... People are disappointed, feel lied to and are deeply confused."

On the back of this book, (embargoed until publishing date 20th June) a global bullshit campaign is well underway, with the charge led by Rupe's rags. Stories about Khan being fingered in 2003 by the CIA abound. Time is also publising extracts this forthcoming weekend which are being kept well under wraps.

The book claims (amongst other tings) that : "British intelligence was certainly told about Mohammed Siddique Khan in March and April 2003. It is claimed Khan was put on a no fly list and was turned away from Heathrow Airport when he tried to board a flight to America in 2003 because the CIA believed he was involved in a plot with US counterparts to bomb synagogues on the East coast.

Suskind claims US spies passed on fears about Khan, describing him as a "very dangerous character", to UK spies.

Intelligence sources in the UK have said they were aware of the allegation but that it was "untrue and one of the many myths that have grown up around Khan".

Suskind will participate in a forum on Friday, June 23 @ 11:00 am at the Miller Centre for Public Affairs. http://millercenter.virginia.edu/

Simon & Schuster, are tightly guarding the book's contents because Time bought excerpts that are expected to make news this weekend. It won't even explain the title. ( have just been into Barnes and Noble - book embargoed until tomorrow - no way can even look at it - so how does the press get the juicy bits 729 Google hits on :Suskind" today 3.00pm EDT. The three network morning shows all hyped the book, - it charges that al-Qaeda plotted a New York City subway gas attack for 2003, but pulled back. (Oh yeah ?) (Bug plug time for CBS sister company Simon & Schuster.)- Psyops is at work BIG style)

Other forthcoming books to catch the anti-war wind and anti-Republican voice:

•Oath Betrayed (Random House, June 27) by Stephen Miles, a medical professor, who cites "medical complicity" in "the abuse and neglect" of prisoners in U.S. prisons in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

•The End of Iraq (Simon and Schuster, July 11) by Peter Galbraith, a fellow at the Center for Arms Control, whose subtitle is How American Incompetence Created a War Without End.

•What Terrorists Want (Random House, Sept. 5) by Louise Richardson, a Harvard lecturer who argues that Bush's war on terror is doomed because of an ignorance of history.

•Is Iraq Another Vietnam? (PublicAffairs, Sept. 5) by Robert Bingham, a Vassar College professor, who contends that American policymakers are misusing the lessons of Vietnam.

Last month, Sentinel, the right wing edge of Penguin "America's Victories: Why the U.S. Wins Wars and Will Win the War on Terror" by historian Larry Schweikart, who writes that the U.S. military has prevailed in situations more dire than Iraq.

EXpect more bullshit throughout the summer silly season - all unverifiable, and all helping to feed the state of terror that the Government in the UK are happy to induce, encourage, inflame and develop. Whilst you sleep the bullshit factory is hard at work.

Peter Clarke is the head of terror at the Met. This is what he said in February to the Royal United Services Institute - read it all - makes fascinating reading.

"As with every other aspect of policing, gaining and maintaining the confidence of the community is critical to the long term success of counter terrorist policing. "

"... we need to raise the level of public debate around this whole subject. There are hugely important and sensitive issues at stake here."

There are those, I am one of them, to say the Police , especially the Met and the Department Clarke is responsible for have completely lost all the confidence the public may have had in them.
