  1. Richard, you write: “If we in the U.S. choose to go down this road of covert terror attacks against Iran using dirty proxies like the MEK, we have only ourselves to blame when the dog turns on us and gives us a deadly mauling.”

    I’d say 9/11 was such a mauling by former CIA pals who became disillusioned when the US started strutting its new “sole superpower” stuff.

  2. RE: “The most tantalizing claim in his piece is that Iran, which he overreaches in associating with ‘global jihad,’ backed the attack.” ~ R.S.

    FROM ALASTAIR CROOKE, 10/22/11:

    (excerpt)…But the real danger in all this [essentially, the US utilizing the Saudis and their agents/allies to achieve regime change in Syria – J.L.D.], as John Hannah himself notes on ForeignPolicy.com [11], is that the Saudis, “with their back to the wall”, “might once again fire up the old jihadist network and point it in the general direction of Shi’ite Iran”…

    (excerpt) The CIA often works in mysterious ways – and so it was with this little-known cloak-and-dagger caper that set the stage for extensive collaboration between US intelligence and Islamic extremists. The genesis of this ill-starred alliance dates back to Egypt in the mid-1950s, when the CIA made discrete overtures to the Muslim Brotherhood, the influential Sunni fundamentalist movement that fostered Islamic militancy throughout the Middle East. What started as a quiet American flirtation with political Islam became a Cold War love affair on the sly – an affair that would turn out disastrously for the United States. Nearly all of today’s radical Islamic groups, including al-Qaeda, trace their lineage to the Brotherhood.
    “The Muslim Brothers are at the root of a lot of our troubles,” says Col. W. Patrick Lang, one of several US intelligence veterans interviewed for this article. Formerly a high-ranking Middle East expert at the Defense Intelligence Agency Lang considers al-Qaeda to be “a descendent of the Brotherhood.”
    …For many years, the American espionage establishment had operated on the assumption that Islam was inherently anti-communist and therefore could be harnessed to facilitate US objectives. American officials viewed the Muslim Brotherhood as “a secret weapon” in the shadow war against the Soviet Union and it’s Arab allies, according to Robert Baer, a retired CIA case officer who was right in the thick of things in the Middle East and Central Asia during his 21 year career as a spy. In Sleeping with the Devil, a book he wrote after quitting the CIA Baer explains how the United States “made common cause with the Brothers” and used them “to do our dirty work in Yemen, Afghanistan and plenty of other places”.

  4. Re: Stuxnet, Iran (and everyone else including Tikun Olam readers) should drop Windows, go to something open source that can be modified as needed. Prime Minister Putin of Russia has recently instructed government computers to do so. Brazil dumped Windows, adopted Linux, for price reasons, long ago.
