Bomb Khartoum NOW!


OK, here we go again, BUT... as in a Sherlock Holmes mystery, why didn't the "dog" bark? When a British teacher in Sudan allowed her class to name a stuffed bear Mohammed, the entire media establishment went frothing-at-the-mouth crazy when the local religious fanatics wanted to prosecute her. When an American embassy employee is murdered in the streets of Sudan, there is barely a peep. This seeming "non-story" is a mystery, and probably for a good reason. In the past, the CIA has used the Agency for International Development as cover so we can do what we do best, gather intelligence and do little about it. Now I'm wondering if this man, John Granville, a 33 year old former resident of Buffalo NY, was a US intelligence agent working out of our embassy under USAID cover. The genocide still going on in the Darfur region and the sad impotence of the United Nations to do anything about it is another example of how we should be truly fighting terrorism, and not in Iraq, but where it really is - the Sudan. The NY Times article is
here.
Rest in peace John, and Happy New Year.

ADDENDUM: 1/7/08
From the USAID webpage...

"Currently he is working to bring radios to the population of South Sudan in order to maximize the impact of USAID’s broadcasting initiatives in the region."
Radios? I thought they needed food.
What exactly are we broadcasting to these people?
What is this? Voice of America propaganda? Radio Free Africa?
Don Imus?
