phlliP ; Act tyns.Yes, the article raises many interesting issues, the lack of intel sharingamong them. You get the impression that nsa collects stuff just for thesake of collecting it. Why didn't Weinberger, Vessey, Powell, the Presidentsee the intercept?We didn't support the French in their 1983 retaliatory air strike. The Frenchweren't with us 20 years later (spring 2003) when we went into Iraq. Historyhas its ironies.Mike

Invitation to September 11By Kenneth R. TimmermanThe spider holes where terrorists and the nation-states who back them hide frompublic view lie in the murkiest recesses of the murky world of intelligence. Rarelydo victims of terrorist attacks get to face their attacker, let alone know hisidentity, especially when the attacker is a foreign government. Individual terroristssuch as Osama bin Laden or Ilich Ramirez Sanchez (aka "Carlos the Jackal") - whoopenly boast of their evil deeds and thus can be tracked, targeted and eventuallytaken out - are the exception, not the rule.Or so said the conventional wisdom until a recent groundbreaking public trial in afederal courtroom in Washington that blew the lid off the world's most elusiveterrorist sponsor: the Islamic Republic of Iran. That legal action was brought bythe families of the 241 U.S. Marines who were killed when terrorists crashed anexplosives-filled truck into their barracks near the Beirut airport on Oct. 23, 1983.It raises disturbing questions concerning some of our most basic assumptionsabout the war on terror.New intelligence revealed at the March 2003 trial, and independently confirmed byInsight with top military commanders and intelligence officials who had access to itat the time, shows that the U.S. government knew beyond any reasonable doubt

Whatever the reasons behind the refusal of the United States to join that Frenchretaliatory raid, there can be no doubt that the terrorists and their masters tookthe U.S. failure to retaliate as a sign of weakness. Just five months later, Iran'stop agent in Beirut, Imad Mugniyeh, took CIA station chief William Buckleyhostage and hideously tortured him to death after extracting whatever informationhe could. Since then, notes former Navy secretary Lehman, Osama bin Laden has"directly credited the Marine bombing" and the lack of U.S. retaliation asencouraging his jihadi movement to believe they could attack the United Stateswith impunity."The first shots in the war on terror we are in now were fired in Beirut in October1983," says Geraghty. "The [Bush] administration is now doing exactly what weneed to be doing, attacking the enemies of freedom where they live instead ofletting them attack us in our home." But the failure to strike back against Iran andSyria in 1983 was a dreadful mistake, he says. "This was an act of war. We knewwho the players were. And, because we didn't respond, we emboldened thesepeople to increase the violence."Never again.

A Marine 'Peacekeeper's1 StoryPosted Dec. 22, 2003By Kenneth R. TimmermanSteve Edward Russell, an E-5 sergeant with the 2nd Marine Division out of Camp Lejeune,N.C., was in the guard post directly in front of the lobby when he heard a loud snap, "like atwo-by-four breaking" out by the main gate. When he turned to look, he saw a large Mercedeswater truck coming through the open gate, leaning heavily as it swerved around barriers.Russell fiddled briefly with his sidearm, but realized it was not loaded - in keeping with therules of engagement for this "peacekeeping" mission. Then he saw that the truck was comingstraight for him.He made eye contact with the driver - a man in his mid-twenties with curly hair and an olivecomplexion, wearing what looked like a camouflage shirt - "and the only thing on my mind wasto warn." He began running, screaming to Marines who were milling around to get out, but gotone last look at the driver. He had "a sh--ty grin, a smile of success you might say." Russellmade it to the other side of the building when the truck exploded, wounding him severely.As he gave his testimony to a courtroom packed with family members of victims, Russell
