Unite Ireland Forum Invites Irish America To Speak

A forum to open a dialogue among Irish Americans about how best to unite Ireland will be held this Saturday, June 13, 2009 starting at 12:30 p.m. at the Hilton Hotel, 1335 Avenue of the Americas at West 53rd Street in midtown Manhattan.

Sinn Fein, an Irish republican party, is organizing the event. Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams MP will serve as host.

The theme of the forum is "United Ireland - How Do We Get There?"

"Irish America has played a significant role in securing the peace process," Adams said. "The next important task is unity."

Adams said he hoped the ideas, proposals and plans presented at the forum propel the issue of Irish unification into the forefront of discussion in Irish America and the Irish diaspora across the world.

"We wish to raise awareness among Irish Americans that the time has come to end the partition of Ireland and construct a new national democracy, a new republic on the island of Ireland," Adams said. "We seek a united, sovereign nation that reconciles nationalists and unionists and guarantees equal rights and equal opportunities for all. We want to bring people together and change their lives for the better."

Joining Adams at the forum will be four keynote speakers. They include: author Pete Hamill, former Lebanon hostage and broadcaster Brian Keenan, University of Pennsylvania professor Brendan O'Leary and the president of the Laborers International Union of North America Terence O'Sullivan.

Organizations participating in the forum include: the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Irish National Caucus, Irish Northern Aid, the Irish American Unity Conference, the Brehon Law Society, the United Irish Counties Association and others.

Adams will host a second forum on June 27 in San Francisco.

Secrecy News:

A NEW HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY

"The Secret Sentry" by Matthew Aid is a comprehensive new history of the National Security Agency, from its origins in World War II through its Cold War successes, failures and scandals up until the present. Aid, an independent historian who is also a visiting fellow at the National Security Archive, has synthesized a tremendous amount of research into a narrative that is highly readable and sometimes gripping. All of the familiar stops are there, including the Truman memo of 1952 that established the Agency, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, KAL 007, 9/11 and on to today.

But the book also includes quite a bit of unfamiliar historical material, and almost any reader is likely to discover something new and interesting. I learned, for example, that a few months after seizing the USS Pueblo in 1968, North Korea published a book in French containing the full text of many captured NSA documents, some of which, Mr. Aid says, are still considered to be classified today (p. 142).

[Cryptome welcomes a source for this book, cryptome[at]earthlnk.net]

What will make The Secret Sentry indispensable to researchers are its nearly one hundred pages of endnotes, which constitute a unique finding aid to the most current archival releases, internal agency histories, and other valuable records. Some of the documents gathered by Mr. Aid in the course of his decades of research later vanished from public stacks at the National Archives, prompting him to realize that some government agencies were silently -- and often improperly -- reclassifying declassified records. Portions of those now inaccessible records have been integrated into this new history.

Inevitably, the book contains some minor errors. Mr. Aid repeats an assertion by the 9/11 Commission that Osama bin Laden was alerted to NSA monitoring of his satellite phone as the result of a 1998 news story that appeared in the Washington Times (p. 383, note 69). But he neglects to note that this assertion has been effectively refuted. (See, e.g., "File the Bin Laden Phone Leak Under 'Urban Myths'" by Glenn Kessler, Washington Post, December 22, 2005.)

The author is generous in his citations to the leading authors in the intelligence field, from David Wise and David Kahn to Seymour Hersh and Jeffrey Richelson and other less celebrated writers -- with one strange and disconcerting exception. There is not a single reference in the entire book to James Bamford, whose 1983 book The Puzzle Palace, among others, blazed the trail that The Secret Sentry follows. Perhaps Mr. Aid felt it was necessary to ignore Mr. Bamford so as not to be constantly agreeing or disagreeing with him, and confirming or disputing his accounts. If that is the case, he ought to have said so.

The Secret Sentry is being published this week by Bloomsbury Press.

Panetta Declaration and Blackwater

1) Leon Panetta Declaration

You might have read the following article in yesterday's Washington Post:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/08/AR2009060804117.html

I have found the mentioned declaration of Panetta in the case docket:

http://www.expose-the-war-profiteers.org/CIA/activities/torture/index.htm#LegalDocuments

Here is the document itself:

http://www.expose-the-war-profiteers.org/archive/legal/2009-1/20090608.pdf

The Vaughn-Index of the documents, which are discussed in his declaration, is included.

2) Blackwater

A less known criminal case, that indirectly involves Blackwater, has been filed in the District Court of Maryland. It has been mentioned in this Associated Press article:

http://www.expose-the-war-profiteers.org/archive/media/2009-2/20090506-2.htm

I have searched and I have found through Pacer the case and I have included it on my webpage:

http://www.expose-the-war-profiteers.org/DOD/iraq_II/blackwater.htm#CriminalCaseIII

Blackwater employees have appraently tried to get rid of the weapons that they have used in the 2007 shootings in Baghdad by smuggling them through a cutout to the US. It also interesting that Blackwater apparently has used weapons in the shootings, that they had previously confiscated from insurgents. This explains the circumstances of the following:

http://www.expose-the-war-profiteers.org/archive/media/2009-1/20090401-2.htm#NoForensicMatch
ForAmmoInBlackwater

"[...] FBI scientists were unable to match bullets from a deadly 2007 Baghdad shooting to guns carried by Blackwater Worldwide security guards, according to laboratory reports that leave open the possibility that insurgents also fired in the crowded intersection. [...]

"The FBI lab reports, obtained by The Associated Press from someone not involved in the criminal case, allow for both possibilities.

"Investigators recovered .30-caliber bullets from a survivor, a Blackwater truck and around Baghdad's Nisoor Square. Scientists could not determine whether those bullets came from .30-caliber Blackwater machine guns. The AK-47 rifles favored by many Iraqi insurgents also fire .30-caliber bullets. [...]"
