Did anyone hear Juan Cole on the Majority Report tonight??

[Bleacher Creature]

I know that this is an old story, but with all the Rove stuff, I've never put it all together. Professor Cole did a really good job explaining all of the connections in a short period of time. Anyway, if this is true (and there's no reason to doubt it), there is no hell hot enough to deal with these people in the BFEE.

The Ghost of Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan

John Aravosis at AmericaBlog brings up the awful possibility, based on an ABC report, that the Public Relations-hungry Bush administration may have interfered with a British and Pakistani investigation of an al-Qaeda plot to bomb London that ties into July 7.

The question is whether Bush played politics with terror around the time of the Democratic National Convention in late July, 2004. Jim Lobe reminded us at the time that ' The New Republic weekly quoted Pakistani intelligence officials as saying the White House had asked them to announce the arrest or killing of any "high-value target" any time between July 26 and 28, the first three days of the Democratic Convention. At the time, former CIA officer Robert Baer said the announcement made "no sense." "To keep these guys off-balance, a lot of this stuff should be kept in secret. You get no benefit from announcing an arrest like this." '
