1. You mean create the Zarqawi myth?

2. Zarqawi, the man who leaps tall building's ...

in a single bounce, with only one leg. Also smart enough to bring the world's two super power's (US & UK) to their knees.:sarcasm:

3. It's really a very interesting interview.

There is background on him here that I didn't know.

Do you think this Italian economist that Amy is interviewing is on the level or not?

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

4. Loretta Napoleoni

Thanks for that.

FWIW, her book "Terror, Inc" is endorsed by Greg Palst who writes a foreward. Also the following on it from Chomsky - "This thoughtful and incisive inquiry yields much insight into some of the most important issues of today, and tomorrow."

5. Thank you. Amy usually has VERY credible guests.

Did you watch the interview or read the transcript I linked to?

I didn't know all of that about Zarqawi before.

7. I'm on dial-up so just read the transcript

FYI, Jean Charles Brisard (who's generally been well respected on DU for his book 9-11: The Forbidden Truth) recently wrote a biography of Zarqawi - Zarqawi: The New Face of Al-Qaeda.

8. Was that the book about John O'Neill? n/t

6. We created most of our own monsters.....

We created the Vietnam war thru our insistance to not give the Vietnamese their freedom and to suck the cock of the French imperialists. Osama Bin Laden was our friend in Afghanistan. Doesn't take long to make enemies I guess....
