Posted on January 5, 2021 by L

Posted on January 4, 2021 by L

“I have compared some fragments of electronic circuit board recovered at Lockerbie and marked as item AG/145 with various radio/cassette tape recorders. I am completely satisfied that these fragments originate from a Toshiba brand radio stereo cassette recorder types RT-8016 or RT-8026. (…) The set used in the bomb possessed a white plastics case.”

Allen Feraday (February 3 1989)

On This Day — The Assassination of Qassem Soleimani (January 3 2020) [Tensions high on first anniversary]

Posted on January 3, 2021 by L

“If you think the war in Iraq was hard, an attack on Iran would, in my opinion, be a catastrophe. Iranian capacity to wage a series of terror attacks across the Middle East aimed at us and our friends, and dramatically worsen the situation in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and elsewhere is hard to overestimate.”

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates (March 2012)

January 3 2020— General Qassem Soleimani was assassinated on 3 January 2020 around 1 am local time (22:00 UTC on 2 January), after missiles shot from American drones targeted his convoy near Baghdad International Airport. This attack raises dozen of questions, and none can be answered today. But one thing is certain. Iranians will never forget General Qassem Soleimani. 2020 is going to be a very dangerous year for American people all over the world. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY

Posted on December 30, 2020 by L

“In a now famous interview with the Iraqi leader, U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie told Saddam, ‘We have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait.’ The U.S. State Department had earlier told Saddam that Washington had ‘no special defense or security commitments to Kuwait.’ The United States may not have intended to give Iraq a green light, but that is effectively what it did.”

The Year in Review — Intel Today Top 2020 Stories

Posted on December 29, 2020 by L

“If there is no such thing as ‘the Truth’ about the past, and therefore, a fortify, if there is no obligation to seek such truth, we are left only with clashing opinions. (…) But, if there is such a thing as the ‘Truth’ about the past, and if one party claims to possess it, yet without sufficient grounds, the possibility remains of questioning that claim and showing it to be mistaken or inadequate.”
