The Gulf Crisis and New World Order — Page 142
Eighth Friday Senno,i Ja,i 11, 1991 statistical record, reveal that the U. S. has used C. l. A. to infiltrate numerous countries in the world - as dictated by American interests - and have not abstained from terrorist activities of any description. They have indulged in it as a matter of their right! Recently a book has been published by John Brados with the title "Secret wars of the President"; it reveals that all kinds of criminal activity was sanctioned under the guise of covert operations i. e. , it was allowed to do whatever you want, kill whoever you fancy, poison the water-storage if necessary, contaminate the food-stuff if it serves your purpose; you can even indulge in genocide provided you do it covertly and maintain the element of potential deniability. This new term "deniability" is quite interesting. It simply means that even though the U. S. Presideot may sanction practically everything, but a margin of face-saving must be maintained for him. So that if something is publicly exposed and the President is questioned as to whether he ordered a particular action, he should be in a position to flatly deny his in volvement and promise an investigation of it. This is called "deniability"! Not to speak of Israel, the U. S. herself has committed thousands of times greater acts of terrorism than she attributes to various Muslim countries. And it is an ongoing process. The CIA is as busy today as ever. Somewhere a coup d'etat is being staged; in some other countries such as Vietnam, Korea, Laos, Guatemala or Iran, some other conspiracies are being put into practice. All these shocking details are contained in this book written by none other than an American author who is well-known and has authored several authentic books on related topics. Now, tell me: Where are those principles and moral ideals in all this? The only difference in these activities and those of some Muslim countries is that the Muslims, unfortunately for them, conduct themselves with such simplicity that is bordering on folly. They do not practice the language of Western diplomacy. Instead of resorting to a covert operation they openly declare: "Rushdie, we will kill you!" Or challenge someone else saying that : "Islam does not allow us to treat you kindly, so we will take revenge from you, the way we want to. " They are ill-equipped; they beg for arms from the same countries that they speak against. They are engaged in undermining the very foundation on which they have raised the edifice of their own existence. How unwise! It is not even unwise, it is cruel: it is cruel 142
