Britain Takes Step Toward Deporting Radical Clerics
New York Times – Jul 20, 2005
Blair said he had advance knowledge of the July 7 attacks, for which the authorities have said they had no warning. Blair said he believed that home-grown Islamic terrorism – possibly including suicide bombings – had taken root in Britain since the attacks on the United States of Sept. “It’s here and we have to understand it’s here,” he said in the interview. “If something as horrific as a suicide bomber happens, and if in some ways it’s connected with the Muslim community, the impact of that on the community is going to be appalling. ” As evidence of a threat, he cited two cases.

South Africa was hardly the most likely of starting points for such an empire, nor beer the most likely of foundations. Yet SAB’s chief executive, Graham Mackay, stuck to his vision of global consolidation, and remarkably managed to carry the City with him. The curiosity is that no home grown British brewer has managed anything similar. The closest is Scottish & Newcastle, but S&N is less than half the size in terms of market capitalisation and not nearly so international. Bass, Whitbread and the rest have all been swallowed by other foreign domiciled brewers. In building his empire, Mr Mackay has used the capital markets skilfully to his advantage. More important still, he’s had the hunger and drive of the newly arrived to succeed.

Pakistan has confirmed that three of the bombers, all Britons of Pakistani descent, visited the country in the last year. The family of one, Shehzad Tanweer, say he visited a madrassa. Pakistan’s ambassador to Britain, Maleeha Lodhi, told the BBC the bombers’ motivation “appeared to be home-grown”. “Just a visit to a country doesn’t mean that they have been radicalised,” she said. President Musharraf is expected to announce new measures to curb religious extremism on Thursday.
PBS Wide Angle: ‘Future for Lebanon’
Washington Post – Jul 20, 2005
Since the "sandwich woman" specifically said she was not backed by the CIA this is what people talk about. Is it wholly farfetched?Paul Mitchell: If I understood your question properly, you are asking if it’s farfetched to think the Cedar uprising wasn’t backed by the CIA. My feeling, and of course the CIA doesn’t tell us these things, is that while the uprising was in line with US, French, and Saudi aims, the uprising was on the whole a home-grown affair. _______________________Washington, D. : It was so great to see young people so involved in Lebanon’s politics. Do you think there is a similar feeling around the Arab world? That they want change but are stifled by their society and elders?Paul Mitchell: The Arab world is a big place and I am afraid I can’t pretend to know what the feeling is in every country.
