ormer British Ambassador to
Uzbekistan Craig Murray says the alleged transatlantic liquid
bomb plot is staged-managed propaganda on behalf of Bush and
Blair - who yearn for a "new 9/11" to absolve them of domestic
political trouble.
Murray previously blew the whistle on how the British government
was using
evidence obtained from torture in Uzbekistan -
inflicted on its population US-funded regime of Islam Karimov -
the dictator who
likes to boil people alive.
Murray questions the
intent and capability of the alleged terrorists to carry out the
attack and offers the likelihood that evidence of the plot was
obtained through torture in Pakistan.
"None of the alleged
terrorists had made a bomb. None had bought a plane ticket. Many
did not even have passports, which given the efficiency of the
UK Passport Agency would mean they couldn't be a plane bomber
for quite some time,"
says Murray
(pictured).
"In the absence of
bombs and airline tickets, and in many cases passports, it could
be pretty difficult to convince a jury beyond reasonable doubt
that individuals intended to go through with suicide bombings,
whatever rash stuff they may have bragged in internet chat
rooms."
"Then an
interrogation in Pakistan revealed the details of this amazing
plot to blow up multiple planes - which, rather extraordinarily,
had not turned up in a year of surveillance. Of course, the
interrogators of the Pakistani dictator have their ways of
making people sing like canaries. As I witnessed in Uzbekistan,
you can get the most extraordinary information this way. Trouble
is it always tends to give the interrogators all they might
want, and more, in a desperate effort to stop or avert torture.
What it doesn't give is the truth."
Murray describes the
alert as "more propaganda than plot," and points out that of all
the Muslim terror suspects who have been charged, 80% have been
acquitted and only 2% have ever been convicted on offenses
related to terrorism.
Meanwhile, Delhi
police in India
claim they have concrete
evidence that proves collusion between Pakistani
intelligence service ISI and the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)
in carrying out militant attacks in India.
One of the alleged
mastermind's of the liquid bomb plot, Rashid Rauf, is a member
of Lashkar-e-Taiba. The ISI is a CIA front and the
CIA have privately ignored
their control of terror groups while publicly
lauding Pakistan's status as an ally in the war on terror.
On Monday night it
emerged that
elements of MI5 wanted the
liquid bomb plot to proceed and make the arrests
only after the attack had taken place - sacrificing an
estimated 3,000 lives and ensuring Britain experienced its own
9/11.
