America's spook operations in Russia's Caucasus Region led to 911. The beheadings of the GCHQ British Spies, who were working on the Chechen cellphone system in the late 90's, was a GRU operation. This is very similar to what happened to US NSA spy Richard L. Bliss. Although not beheaded, he was using GPS to map Russian military bases. The later beheadings of Daniel Pearl and others were likely carried out by the GRU or their proxies. The information on Nicholson makes him the likely candidate for releasing the CIA's 1979 document detailing their plan to use Chechnya to destabilize the USSR. These articles also show the role foundations play in espionage. Fred Cuny worked for George Soros.

DATES: ENTRY: undefined DIA AND CIA DON'T SEE EYE TO EYE ON THREATS. A MONTH AGO, CIA DIRECTOR DEUTCH DELIVERED HIS "WORLDWIDE THREAT ASSESSMENT" BEFORE THE SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTEL SINGLING OUT CHINA, INDIA, PAKISTAN, LIBYA, IRAN AND SUDAN. HE ALSO SPOKE ABOUT DRUG TRAFFICKING, BUT HIS MESSAGE WAS REMARKABLY DIFFERENT FROM THAT GIVEN ON 1/16/96 TO THE HOUSE SELECT INTEL COMMITTEE. THIS LOOKED LIKE A CONCENTRATED EFFORT TO JUSTIFY DEUTCH'S CABINET LEVEL STATUS AS DCI, TO KEEP CIA IN THE MONEY AND TO RESERVE AN INTEL FIELD THAT THE PENTAGON WON'T TAKE AWAY FROM IT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. DEUTCH DECLARED THAT: "THE CIA WILL BE PAYING ITS CLOSEST ATTENTION TO RUSSIA AND CHINA BECAUSE THESE NATIONS HAVE THE GREATEST MILITARY POWER FOR FORESEEABLE FUTURE." WE PREVIOUSLY CRITICIZED THIS STATEMENT, NOTING THAT AT PERVOMAYSKAYA IN CHECHNYA A HANDFUL OF CHECHEN REBELS HELD ONE OF THE WORLD'S SUPPOSEDLY "GREATEST MILITARY POWERS" AT BAY FOR DAYS ON END, AND THAT THE DIA'S RECENT ANALYSIS OF CHINA'S "INTIMIDATING" 11/95 MILITARY MANEUVERS AGAINST TAIWAN SHOWED THAT CHINA CAN ONLY LAND ONE DIVISION WITHOUT CALLING ON COMMERCIAL SHIPS AND, IN GENERAL, "POSES LITTLE DANGER TO POTENTIAL FOES." DEUTCH'S SPEECHES MAY BE SEEN MORE AS "A DECLARATION OF FUTURE AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY," A PRESENTATION OF CIA GOALS AND A JUSTIFICATION FOR THE CIA BUDGET INSTEAD OF A REAL ANALYSIS OF THREATS TO THE UNITED STATES. INTERPRETATION WAS CORROBORATED BY TWO MILITARY INTEL ANALYSES OF WORLDWIDE THREATS TO THE U.S. ON 2/22/96 WHEN DIA DIRECTOR LIEUT. GEN. PATRICK M. HUGHES PRESENTED HIS "GLOBAL MILITARY THREATS TO THE U.S. AND ITS INTERESTS ABROAD" TO THE SENATE COMMITTEE. OTHER CORROBORATING ANALYSIS IS A LONG "INTERVIEW/BRIEFING" OF OFFICE OF NAVAL INTELLIGENCE (ONI) BOSS, REAR ADMIRAL MICHAEL W. CRAMER, PUBLISHED LAST MONTH IN "SEA POWER." FOR ADM. CRAMER, "WE CERTAINLY DON'T DESCRIBE RUSSIA AS THREATENING" ALTHOUGH RUSSIA'S NAVY IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD TO HAVE "CAPABILITIES" RIVALING THOSE OF THE U.S. NAVY. RUSSIA, FOR EXAMPLE, "CONTINUES TO BUILD AND DEPLOY (...) VERY CAPABLE, VERY QUIET, STEALTHY SUBMARINES," BUT RUSSIAN SUBS "DO NOT TARGET THE U.S."

BUT IT HAS LITTLE EXPERIENCE WITH THE BRAND OF STATELESS TERRORISM BIN LADEN REPRESENTS -- SOMEONE WHO MOVES INDEPENDENTLY, IS IDEOLOGICAL AND IS MORE WILLING TO CREATE MASS CASUALTIES. WAGING A CAMPAIGN AGAINST SUCH REQUIRES A CONCERTED POLITICAL, INTEL AND MILITARY CAMPAIGN. IT MEANS FINDING MEMBERS OF BIN LADEN'S ORG, ARRESTING THOSE OR ATTACKING THEM MILITARILY, WHILE STRANGLING THE ORG FINANCIALLY AND DIVIDING IT POLITICALLY. BIN LADEN'S AL QAI'DA, THE LARGEST SUNNI MUSLIM TERRORIST ORG IN THE WORLD, IS VAST AND COMPLEX. ITS LEADERS HEAD OTHER TERRORIST GROUPS, AND SUPPORT MUSLIM FIGHTERS IN AFGHANISTAN, BOSNIA, CHECHNYA AND KOSOVO. THE NATION'S 13 SPY AGENCIES RELY HEAVILY ON SATELLITES, WHICH ARE FINE FOR INTERCEPTING PHONE CONVERSATIONS OR SPOTTING TROOP MOVEMENTS BUT ILL-SUITED FOR PENETRATING OPAQUE ORGS LIKE BIN LADEN'S. IN 1995 , CIA BEGAN TO PUT MORE OFFICERS IN THE FIELD AND RECRUIT FOREIGN AGENTS. BUT EVEN THOSE EFFORTS MAY BE LACKING. ONLY A COUPLE OF DOZEN OFFICERS SPEAK ARABIC WELL AND FEWER SPEAK PASHTU OR DARI, THE MAIN LANGUAGES IN AFGHANISTAN. THE U.S. MAY BE YEARS FROM PENETRATING TERRORIST ORGS WITH HUMAN SPIES. U.S. MUST PLAN A COMBINATION OF OVERT MILITARY ATTACKS, A CAMPAIGN TO SEIZE BIN LADEN'S PERSONAL FINANCES, AND A COVERT EFFORT TO DIVIDE HIS ORG AGAINST ITSELF. TWO OFFICERS FIGURED MOST IN THURSDAY'S ATTACKS. ONE IS GEN. HENRY SHELTON, CHAIRMAN OF THE JCS, WHO MOST RECENTLY COMMANDED THE 40,000 TROOPS OF THE U.S. SPECIAL FORCES COMMAND.
