'The 2001 Anthrax Deception': Interview with Graeme MacQueen by Abby & Robbie Martin

Clinton's "War on Terror" Part 2 of 2 by Abby & Robbie Martin

Recently I traveled to one of the most nefarious prisons in the world: Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Despite repeated government pledges to close the infamous detention facility down, 149 men remained indefinitely imprisoned there. According to a Bush administration official, the vast majority of prisoners are innocent, and were either swept up in a dragnet or handed over in exchange for US bounties. It's already hard enough to travel to Gitmo as a journalist, but upon arrival I realized the experience was going to be totally controlled, with 24/7 military official escorts preventing us from going near the detainees I had come to report on. However, I was able to speak with several top brass who serve as defense attorneys for the military commissions, a corrupted system that grants alleged terrorists less rights than in civilian courts. The fact that six men are facing formal charges at the prison in relation to 9/11 & the USS Cole bombing gives the world the false impression that even alleged terrorists get their day in court. In reality, the remaining 143 men never charged with a crime may never get that luxury. My brother Robbie interviewed me about the trip, which is a more personal account than presented on Breaking the Set.

Most people who became politically aware, or 'woke up' after 9/11 might wrongly assume that warrantless wiretapping, rendition of terror suspects, the formation of the homeland security agency and predator drones were spearheaded by the Bush administration. Yet the framework for the 'War on Terror' was actually put into place by President Clinton. Not only did Clinton have several opportunities to either capture or kill Bin Laden, but in the year prior to leaving office, he was warned with eerily similar Presidential Daily Briefs (PDBs) to Bush about imminent US plane hijackings. Throughout out the 90s, the Taliban also rose to power with the help of the Pakistani ISI, Unocal, the CIA and Enron.
