Update: Israel Says Al Qaeda Operating In West Bank

Steve, who sends the tip, wonders if this is evidence of a power struggle there, perhaps linked to the killing of the PA general in the Amman bombing.

I'm sure the CIA has answers to such questions. They know everything.

"We know that they are there. We know that they are in Lebanon, working closely with Hezbollah. We know that they are in the region," he said.

What!! Al Qaeda working within a secular, Bathist gov't? Thats just crazy talk. Damn right wingers.

Yeah. They know everything. And then they leak it if it can hurt the administration.

There was that incident maybe 6 weeks ago where three Hamas honchos were kidnapped right off the street and held for a while...

AQ probably sees Gaza as a safe haven, and the PA would want no part of that as it would invite a bunch of USN seals sneaking and peeping around.

I'm sure the CIA has answers to such questions. They know everything RIIIIIIGHT. The C.I.A. is only good at political smear campaigns. It started in the late 1970's andearly 1980' swhenthe C.I.A. went after General Westmoreland in an effort to rehabilitate the C.I.A. by blaming the Vietnam War build up on Westmoreland (they argued that Westmoreland lied to President Johnson about what was actually going on in Vietnam). They are at it agains with Bush--He lied and the C.I.A. is without fault or blemish, or so the C.I.A. political operatives claim. The only thing the C.I.A. really gets right is covering their ass. And oh yes, making millions of dollars out their smear campaign efforts (Richard Clark got $6 million for his "nonfiction" book--more money than he earned in all of his 30 years working at the C.I.A.--what a great crook).

My heart went out to the families who were thrown out of their homes in the "disengagement," but I knew what Sharon was doing. It is a variation of the honeypot trap strategy that the Bush administration has done in Iraq. Gaza can now go from "peaceful Palestinian settlement" to anti-terrorist free fire zone in less than a minute. I just wonder how the PA (and the sympathetic Labor Party) couldn't see their segregation strategy being used against them.

This is an update? The linked BBC article is from December 2002! How does that relate to the bombings in Jordan?

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.)
Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right.
As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller."
She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2:
Remember the bamboo from Part 1?

Do I ever! It's all I remember!
Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy.

We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations.
I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said.

A few blocks uptown, at a branch of the local independent chain McNally Jackson Books, a few volumes lay on a table of new and noteworthy nonfiction near the front of the store. No one was lining up to get them, or even browsing. Bookseller Alex Howe told CNN around 3 p.m. that though the store had procured "several dozen" copies, not a single one had yet sold -- a figure he said was surprising, considering how many people in media and publishing work in the area.

"We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door," Howe said. "I'm not sure where we're gonna put them because right now, supply is outpacing demand." (A manager at McNally Jackson noted that Howe was speaking only in a personal capacity, not as a representative of the store.)

She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.

Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021. Cornyn voted to bring in the Afghan who shot two National Guard soldiers on US soil. A vote for Cornyn is an endorsement of importing unvetted, radicalized murderers. [Buck]
