Here's one article from Playboy that you might actually want to read...
| Quote: |
The intelligence reports fitted the suspicions of the time: al-Qaida sleeper agents were scattered across the US awaiting orders that were broadcast in secret codes over the al-Jazeera television network.
Flights from Britain and France were cancelled. Officials warned of a looming "spectacular attack" to rival 9/11. In 2003 President Bush's homeland security tsar, Tom Ridge, spoke of a "credible source" whose information had US military bracing for a new terrorist onslaught.
Then suddenly no more was said.
Six years later, Playboy magazine has revealed that the CIA fell victim to an elaborate con by a compulsive gambler who claimed to have developed software that discovered al-Jazeera broadcasts were being used to transmit messages to terrorists buried deep in America.

Clever of him to claim the messages were coming via Al-Jazeera. Guess he knew exactly which buttons to press in the Homeland Security psyche.
Not the Playboy link |

The Prince of Peace told Bush to invade Iraq and a Las Vegas con man duped the CIA, DHS, and Pentagon out of taxpayer dollars by BSing them about bar codes in al Jazeera broadcasts??? 
Surely Nancy Reagan's astrologers, Miss Cleo, and the talking dog from the Bush's beans commercials have already cashed in as well. I need to order a crystal ball, tarot cards, and a Milton Bradley ouija board and take them to Washington and ride the gravy train too. |
