Fayed demands Diana phone tapes
Fayed demands Diana phone tapes

Diana inquest lawyers call for 1,034 pages of secret papers believed to have come from princess's phone call recordings

Jamie Doward, home affairs editor
Sunday October 7, 2007
The Observer

Lawyers for Harrods tycoon Mohamed al-Fayed are to make an unprecedented demand for top secret US intelligence files on Princess Diana to be made available to the coroner conducting the inquest into her death.
The Fayed camp has spent years establishing that the National Security Agency, the organisation that oversees the CIA, had amassed a wealth of intelligence on the late princess. The US authorities have confirmed that the files exist, but maintain they cannot be released on the grounds that this would jeopardise national security.

A US judge originally ruled the NSA should hand over the documents - believed to relate to intercepted telephone calls - but the decision was overturned. In total there are some 1,034 pages of evidence that cover the period just before Diana's death.

6. Britain and the US use each other's spies to get around surveillance laws
that protect their own populations.

MI5 isn't bound to respect ANY U.S. privacy laws (such as they remain) and the CIA likewise isn't bound by British law.

10. Intelligence services cooperate . . . at least those who do black op ---
So, if the British Royals want a favor, then they get cooperation.
If America doesn't like what's going on, they demand cooperation ---
If someone wants us to track Diana, presumably in can be worked out ---
France covers for Britain . . . etc.

Voila!

4. Why is there still another inquest into Diana's death? Isn't this one the third or fourth?
Edited on Sun Oct-07-07 03:39 PM by 1monster
The only one who keeps insisting that Diana and Dodi were murdered by the British and US governments and that they were engaged and that Diana was pregnant is Mohamed al-Fayed.

If she was pregnant, her doctor didn't know, and she didn't inform any of her family or friends.

If Diana and Dodi were engaged, then why was al-Fayed the only one who knew? None of her friends or family seem to have know that they were engaged.

While Diana was very popular (in death at such an early age, she became more popular) and also an embarrassment to the royal family, she was not big deal in world governmental affairs.

The French spent years investigating this case before giving their verdict.

Sometimes, horrible things happen, even to famous people. It is not inconceivable that Diana and Dodi were victims of their driver's poor judgement in drinking on the job as well as trying to out run the paparazzi.

There is, thus far, no credible reason to believe that Diana was the vitim of a political assassination.

Time to let them rest in peace and allow her family, especially her sons, to continue on with their lives.

12. 90% of the British believe that the Palace had Diana killed . .. .
Edited on Mon Oct-08-07 02:09 PM by defendandprotect
The jewelers who sold Dodi the ring from the "Engagement" series KNEW . . .
and had receipts --
They later said that they were pressured to deny all of this --

Diana was salvation to the world -- someone who was standing up to the warprofiteers --

All prior investigations have been a sham --- either in France or in Britain.

Henri Paul was not drunk -- if he had been, the bodyguards would not have permitted him to drive.
Additionally, you see him speaking with Diana and Dodi -- THEY would not have permitted him to drive.
The bartender says that Henri Paul was not drunk --
The surviving bodyguard says that Henri Paul was NOT drunk --

Additionally, lights and video cameras were mysteriously OFF in the tunner --
The driver was FORCED into the tunnel according to witnesses --

And a lasar like beam of light was seen to flash into the driver's eyes --
this was done by a motorcyclist who swerved in front of the car --

11. There remains some possibility that she was killed in a bad car accident. Period.

13. Yeah, it would be unlikely for Royals to kill anyone -- especially members of their own House!!!!
We've certainly never heard that before -- !!!!
