"Frustrated by restrictions on using military force against terrorists, the United States is turning to a lower-profile tactic. The CIA calls it 'disruption' -- working with foreign law-enforcement services to harass and hamper terrorists around the world ...

"... Disruption has the advantage of utmost secrecy, hiding the hand of the United States and avoiding the cumbersome congressional reporting requirements that go with CIA-directed covert operations. The recent arrest by Turkish forces in Kenya of Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan is one of the rare examples where the disruption tactic gained public notice. "

The Left parties in the Netherlands were challenged by public opinion after the assassination of upcoming politician Pim Fortuyn on May 6, 2002. The refusal by PvdA Interior Minister to provide Fortuyn with adaquate protection led to much anger by the Dutch voter and ultimate devastating defeat for most Leftist parties.

The murderer of Fortuyn came from a Left Animal Activist group, who have partaken through legal procedures the possibilities to prevent ecological damage to wildlife areas and national parks.

There are a number of groups active in the Netherlands, who have escaped capture, conviction and punishment by Justice for acts of harassment, property damage and arson.

In the months leading upto National Election 2002, there was a lot of media expression and attacks on the person Pim Fortuyn that could be considered character assassination. Much has been left untouched, as no one wants to aggravate the tense social structures within Dutch society.

The hours after Fortuyn's murder, there was fear for populace anger at parliament buildings in The Hague.

It's astounding that as Senator for the Green Party Groen Links Mr. S. Pormes has been asked by party leadership to step down, after an investigation found suspected ties in the seventies to terror groups and training in Yemen. The seventies saw a lot of unrest in Europe with the Baader Meinhoff gang and in the Netherlands Palestinian & Red Army terror and Moluccan acts of despair.

Since it was behind closed doors, we'll never know exactly what the German government told parliament, but it seems like the FDP party is not convinced that they got the whole truth. And poor El-Masri -link-, that guy's story is looking ever more credible.

Meanwhile Germany's Stern magazine has reported that it is increasingly likely one of the secret prisons was located in Poland.
