1. A cable from the State Department to a delegation taking part in a meeting of the Australia group to discuss export controls on chemical weapon materials includes this order:
If AG participants raise the issue of Vils Mirazayonov's book "State Secrets: An Insider's View of the Russian Chemical Weapons Program," the Del should: — Report any instances in which the book is raised. — Not/not start or provoke conversations about the book or engage substantively if it comes up in conversation. — Express a lack of familiarity with the issue. — Quietly discourage substantive discussions by suggesting that the issue is 'best left to experts in capitals.' CLINTON
Hmm – why would the U.S. not want to talk about Mirazayonov's book, Russias chemical weapon programs and the Novichok agent?
2. This cable describes three additional 9/11 attackers that somehow didn't make it into their plane on 9/10 and then fled via London to Qatar.
3. Richard Sale, a journalist and author of Clinton’s Secret Wars, provides an account of the CIA and Saudi intelligence rivalry with regards to Lebanon and their agents Bashir Gemayel and Rafik Hariri. In three parts at Patrick Lang's blog: Bashir and Hariri (Part 1 and 2), Crisis and Death – Hariri (Part 3)
