The evidence below provides cause for concern as to the validity of his case.
The headline below from MSNBC NEWS suggests that the Secretary of State Colin Powell will use electronic intercepts (obtained by the NSA) in his speech next Wednesday to the U.N.
The release of Intercepts by the NSA for consumption by those not associated with U.S intelligence agencies is highly unusual and demonstrates the frustration the Bush government is having in rallying it's allies for war in Iraq.
These intercepts are being heralded as conclusive evidence of Iraq's attempts to conceal weapons of mass destruction and are seen as the tool that will ensure compliance of the UN Security Council and lead to an invasion of Iraq.
HOWEVER, an article in Asia Times (Nov 13th 2002) , titled "This war brought to you by Rendon Group" informs the reader that the Rendon Group a DC-based public relations firm with close ties to the US government, was employing an Iraqi student to "translate and dub spoofed Saddam Hussein speeches and tongue-in-cheek newscasts for broadcast throughout Iraq."
Is it possible that the "electronic intercepts" to be used by Secretary of State Colin Powell in his speech at the UN are the work of this same " Saddam imitator”?
While it is impossible to prove that Secretary Powell will engage in such a disinformation scheme, it is best to keep in mind the possibility that this will be just one more attempt to distort public opinion and further the Bush Cabals desire for regime change in Iraq.

Caught On Tape
EXCLUSIVE: Bush administration to release tapes that could incriminate Iraq. “Hold onto your hat,” says one U.S. intelligence official, “we’ve got it.”
Jan. 31: “The Bush administration is preparing to release supersensitive electronic intercepts obtained by the National Security Agency that officials say prove that Iraq has repeatedly lied to United Nations inspectors, plotted among themselves about how to conceal weapons material and even appeared to boast afterward at their success in doing so, NEWSWEEK has learned. http://www.msnbc.com/news/867105.asp

This war brought to you by Rendon Group
By Ian Urbina
WASHINGTON - "Word got around the department that I was a good Arabic translator who did a great Saddam imitation," recalls the Harvard grad student. "Eventually, someone phoned me, asking if I wanted to help change the course of Iraq policy."
So twice a week, for US$3,000 a month, the Iraqi student says, under condition of anonymity, that he took a taxi from his campus apartment to a Boston-area recording studio rented by the Rendon Group, a DC-based public relations firm with close ties to the US government. His job: translate and dub spoofed Saddam Hussein speeches and tongue-in-cheek newscasts for broadcast throughout Iraq. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/DK13Ak01.html

Same “Evidence” as the Doctored “Usama Video”
By DL Mon Feb 3 ‘03
As we all know, Warlord Rumps-felt had never disavowed his OSI (Office of Strategic Influence, aka “The Liars Club”). So it would hardly be a surprise if the “Woeful-wits” chickenhawks resort to doctoring the tapes, as they did with that absurd “recovered” tape of Usama in Kandahar last year.
Also, anyone who has seen the Jay Leno show knows how professional videographers can convincingly dub in and/or edit the answers to make anyone say things totally out of context. I bet Saddam’s intelligence agents could do the same about mini-Shrub’s bellicose statements (the scary thing is, the Pretzel actually means to threaten people with USA’s 10,000+ Weapons of Mass Destruction.)
