Return To Fright
Well, so much for investigating
the Downing Memo, or the statements of a member of Parliament who turned
the tables on a senate committee and put the entire US establishment on
trial for arming Saddam, imposing genocidal sanctions which killed a million
Iraqis, and then prosecuted two illegal wars which killed and maimed hundreds
of thousands more.
Few know that the Israeli Finance Minister was warned by Scotland Yard of the impending attacks and fewer still, knew that once again, a massive exercise had already been ordered prior to the multiple bombings that then dominated the news for weeks.
On a BBC Radio 5 interview that aired
on the evening of the 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power; Managing Director
of Visor Consultants, which bills itself as a 'crisis management' advice
company Peter Power was
a former Scotland Yard official, working at one time with the Anti Terrorist
Branch. Power told the host that at the exact same time that the London
bombings were taking place, his company was running a 1,000 person strong
exercise which drilled the London Underground being bombed at the exact
same locations, at the exact same times, as happened in real life.
