The Great “American Taliban” Scam

December 12, 2001 — I don’t know about you, but I ain’t buyin’ it.  Here’s the story we’re supposed to believe:  The spoiled son of a rich former Justice Department official is captured while fighting for the Taliban.  He is videotaped while being questioned by two CIA field agents.  The stoic American warrior withstands his questioning without saying a word. Within hours, an uprising occurs and one of the agents (the “good cop”) is killed. The spoiled, rich American Taliban escapes, but is captured later.  You can read about this fiction story in the Time Magazine article:  The Taliban Next Door.

This story stretches reality.  It is more Hollywood movie than true story.

Let us examine the interrogation of John Walker Lindh.  Lindh was interrogated by two veteran CIA field agents, Mike Spann and another agent only identified as “Dave”.  These two veteran field agents allowed themselves to be videotaped violating at least 3 international laws regarding the treatment of Prisoners of War.  First, realize that CIA field agents would be deathly resistant to being filmed for ANY reason, much less while they are perpetrating violations of International Law.  Mike and Dave tell Lindh that if he does not talk, that he will die there in the camp.  It is a clear violation of the law to threaten the execution or even the starvation of a prisoner.  We will return to this scene later.  There are other highly questionable items to note.

In the July/August issue of The Atlantic Online, former CIA field agent Reuel Marc Gerecht wrote an article entitled THE COUNTERTERRORISM MYTH.  In that Article, Gerecht makes a very important point:  It is nearly impossible to get Arabic speaking field agents into the region between Peshawar, Pakistan and Kabul, Afghanistan because of the natural aversion that the people have to westerners and any “new” faces.  The region is full of battle trained men and families, and it is riddled with “undercover” Pakistani ISI (secret service) agents who are all Pro-Taliban/Pro Al-Qaeda.  Any western operation agent would be quickly spotted and “marked” by the close-knit people of the region.

So now we are to believe the most amazing set of circumstances.  John Walker Lindh, the rich, spoiled son of Democratic Party activists, was able to do what the CIA has reportedly been unable to do.  Let’s examine the achievements of Lindh:

He was able to change his religion (from Catholicism to Islam) without alarming his parents. (Not a shock, they were EXTREMELY liberal)

He was able to get Mommy and Daddy to pay for him to fly to Yemen where he entered an Arabic Language School (Read: Terrorism School).  There he made contact with more extreme Islamic fundamentalists who recruited him to go to Pakistan.

The pasty-white American rich kid was able to “fit in” so nicely with his terrorist buddies that he was recruited from there to go fight with the Taliban in Afghanistan.

He was so completely accepted by the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, that he was privy to high level war and terrorism planning.  He actually saw Bin Ladin on many occasions.

Get this – He was able to accomplish all of this in a little over a year and a half!  The spoiled rich California brat did what the CIA claims they could not do!  Do you really buy this?

Let’s go back to the POW camp for a minute.  John Walker Lindh was so convicted of his new Islamic ideals and his fundamental hatred for Western Capitalism and Imperialism that less than 6 months prior to the “war” he called his Father (former Clinton/Reno operative in the Justice Department) and had Daddy send him $1200 so he could “go someplace warm”.

This same Lindh was able to withstand his illegal interrogation by two CIA field agents who were threatening him with death.  He didn’t say a word.   He held his tongue despite the threats.  He held his tongue while he was ON VIDEO.  Keep that in mind because now that Lindh is OFF VIDEO, and NOT threatened with death or starvation, it seems that he is singing like a songbird.

On a personal note.  I have questioned the spoiled children of rich socialites.  They usually are more than willing to spill the beans.  And I never threatened to kill them.  (Well maybe once or twice, but you get the point.)

Why was Lindh chosen to be interrogated?  Because, it is claimed, he was isolated from the rest of the Taliban prisoners.  He was separated from them.  Either he would not be with them, or they would not be with him.  Does this make any sense?  Would Lindh be shunned after he had been so readily accepted by the Taliban?  Would he be ostracized when he had just recently (it is reported) been wounded fighting for the Taliban?  Would Lindh have separated himself from them, knowing that it would draw the attention of those Americans who had been sent there to find anyone who was linked to Al-Qaeda?

So Lindh is off by himself, separated from the rest of the “real” Taliban in the camps.  Noticing that he is alone, he is chosen to be questioned by Mike Spann and “Dave”.  Hours later, Mike Spann, who seemed to realize that something wasn’t right, is killed during an “uprising” in the camp.  Note that the agent who is killed, MIKE SPANN, is the only one of the two agents whose whole/real name is released to the public.

During the uprising, Lindh escapes, only to be recaptured by U.S. forces and held by the Marines.  Now that he has been recaptured – he is telling everything he knows.  It just happens that his current story meshes perfectly with the stories told by John Ashcroft and Tom Ridge.  According to Lindh, the next “wave” of attacks will happen after the end of Ramadan and it will involve biological warfare.  This allows Ashcroft/Ridge/Bush to maintain a healthy level of fear and anxiety so that they continue their assault on freedom, while helping to build the surveillance superstate around the country.

Notice, also, that this new story (of a post Ramadan bio attack) was leaked to Bill Gertz of the Washington Times (The Times is owned by the Moonies).  Do you really think that Gertz has regular access to the interrogations of Prisoners of War, or is it only that someone wants the new story to get out?  Why is the top secret information gathered from the interrogation of a Prisoner of War being leaked to the public?

The evidence that the CIA/BUSH Cabal had prior knowledge and/or participated in the events of September 11 is growing to overwhelming status.  Please read the latest TIMELINE of proven/verified connections with 9/11.   This, added to the reports by the French publication, Le Figaro that a CIA agent visited Osama bin Laden last July. 'Figaro' reports that this meeting took place while bin Laden was being treated in the American Hospital in Dubai, one of the United Arab Emirates.  According to a story in the TIMES OF INDIA, the claim that Bin Ladin broke with the CIA and the rest of the U.S. establishment (including his family) a decade ago is less than credible.

Those of you who have been regular followers of my Technology Videos will note that going back as far as 1998, I have made these same claims.  Claims that are only now becoming mainstream.

So now we are treated to the Great “American Taliban” Scam – and we are left debating whether or not Lindh should be the first American tried before a military tribunal for “terrorist” activities.   Once again, I ask you, who profits from this scam?

The unbelievable story fits right in to the Ashcroft/Bush/Ridge scenario.  It proves that Americans can be terrorists too.  It will likely be the precedent that the Homeland Security Gestapo uses to strip American dissidents of their “citizenship” so that they can be tried and executed as terrorists.

Don’t ever say that I didn’t tell you.

I am your servant in Christ Jesus,

Michael Bunker
