(回答先: テロが計画されていた放射能爆弾「ダーティーボム」とは（ＷＩＲＥＲＤＮＥＷＳ） 投稿者 FP親衛隊国家保安本部 日時 2002 年 6 月 12 日 22:45:01)
この放射能爆弾報道には、アメリカの内外で批判が噴出しているね。これが、ヤラセの「脅迫戦術」だというね。もっとも、それも日本の報道機関以外の報道だがね。日本の報道メディアは、アメリカ政府の情報操作を問題にしないで何をしているのかが問題だろうね。
日本の報道では、またしてもスポーツと料理が「ニュース」の主体だろうね。日本の報道は、スポーツ、料理、そして芸能界があれば、三拍子そろうのだからね。これは、文化の退嬰現象なのだがね。
Ｗ杯開催中という事で、日本の「報道」機関もかきいれどきだろうね。サッカーを安易なビジネスと捉える見方は、日本では１９９８年Ｗ杯の時から続いているからね。それ程、日本人が、安易な成金事業ばかりを追っているという事だがね。日本が借金漬け国になるのも、日本国債が破産国家並み格付けになるのも、故無しとしないね。
イラクやユーゴスラビアで劣化ウラン兵器を平然と使用しているアメリカ軍やＮＡＴＯが、アメリカ内でたった一つの「放射能」爆弾の脅威があったと宣伝している事は、どうも偽善的だね。これは、アメリカ人ジャーナリストも言う事だ。それは、間違いが無いだろう。
劣化ウラン兵器の毒性は、アメリカでもＮＡＴＯでも認めていないね。しかし、この兵器のためにＮＡＴＯ兵士が発病しているので、無視を決め込む事もできない。そもそも、劣化ウランと言いながら、実はその中に猛毒「プルトニウム」が含まれている事も指摘されているのだね。このＤＵ兵器問題を隠蔽しながら、アメリカ国内で放射能被害があったら大変だったとうんぬんする事が偽善だというのは、正しいだろう。
そして、そもそも、ダーティボンブなるものの実体の無さが疑問視されているね。日本のメディアはいざ知らず、イギリス新聞は、何故かこぞってこれについて疑問の声を上げているね。イギリスで日本メディアと同じ宣伝をしているのは、ブレア政権の情報操作マシンと見なされて信用度を下げているＢＢＣ位だ。
その中で、イギリス新聞インデペンデントのワシントン発記事がこの事件発表を露骨に疑問視している。インデペンデントは、この疑問をイギリス側の専門家の見解として報道しているからね。イギリス軍は、ダーティボンブ計画と同時に発表されたモロッコ「アルカイダ」の軍艦攻撃計画の標的とされている。だから、イギリス世論のこの冷淡な受け止め方は意味深長な物があるのだね。
アメリカやＮＡＴＯも、これ程「アルカイダ」を攻撃する姿勢を見せるのなら、コソボやマケドニアで暗躍する「アルカイダ」とアヘン密輸団も攻撃するべきだろうね。どうもそちらは、彼らの「友軍」らしいのだがね。それは、オサマ・ビンラディン氏が、彼らの友人であるのと同じだろうがね。
日本人も、イギリス新聞のインデペンデントとガーディアンが、このダーティボンブ事件とモロッコ事件をどう報道しているかを読んでおくべきだろうね。少なくとも、今のイギリス世論が、「テロとの戦争」に決定的な不信感を抱いている事は間違いが無いのでね。となると、今も「テロ戦争」の尖兵を自認しているのは、アメリカ市民でもＮＡＴＯ市民でもなく、日本人やその似合いの日本政府だけだと言えるだろうね。

British security sources raise doubts over US claims about 'dirty bomber'
By Kim Sengupta and Andrew Buncombe in Washington
12 June 2002
British and European security officials are highly sceptical of American claims that the alleged "dirty bomb" plotter, Abdullah al-Muhajir, was preparing to unleash a radioactive attack.
British sources point out that despite extensive inquiries, no evidence has been produced to show that he had access to the radioactive material needed to build the bomb, or indeed that he had even worked out a time or place to launch the attack.
The most that could be said about Mr Muhajir, a former member of a Chicago street gang now allegedly working for al-Qa'ida, is that he had the "intention" of launching such an attack, security sources said.
President Bush announced yesterday that a "full-scale manhunt" was under way across the United States for accomplices of Mr Muhajir. "We will run down every lead, every hint. We're in for a long struggle in this war on terror. And there are people that still want to harm America."
Before his arrest at Chicago's O'Hare airport on 8 May, Mr Muhajir – who changed his name from Jose Padilla – stopped in Zurich on the way from Pakistan, where he collected $10,500 (£7,000).
Despite claims by the Attorney General, John Ashcroft, that the FBI had disrupted a plan to launch a radioactive attack against Washington, other officials conceded yesterday that there was no evidence that any such plot had progressed beyond the most basic stages.
British security sources, who believe Mr Muhajir might have been acting as a courier, said the Americans investigated Mr Muhajir's activities and tried to find a terrorist network he may have been involved with inside the US. The highly publicised announcement of the arrest only came after the failure to find anything more incriminating.
In Washington there was a growing suspicion that the arrest was seized on by the Bush administration in dramatic fashion for political ends. British and European security agencies do believe, however, that there is still a real threat of a possible attack.

Plots, plans and panics
The US lacks a serious anti-terror strategy
Wednesday June 12, 2002
By their words and actions, George Bush and senior US administration officials may be doing more to terrify American citizens than the al-Qaida terrorists they have vowed to destroy. In particular, John Ashcroft's assertions about the alleged "dirty bomber", Abdullah al-Muhajir, require close scrutiny. The attorney-general claims a "plot" to attack the US with a radioactive weapon was foiled by Mr Al-Muhajir's arrest. But deputy defence secretary Paul Wolfowitz is more circumspect. "It was not an actual plan," he says. FBI director Robert Mueller is vaguer still. "It had not got, as far as we know, much past the discussion stage, but there was substantial discussion." Is Mr Al-Muhajir to be charged therefore with the hitherto unfamiliar offence of talking? Or is there more substantial evidence to suggest prospective wrongdoing? Unfortunately Mr Ashcroft and his colleagues, by denying Mr al-Muhajir legal counsel and a public hearing and by locking him up indefinitely, have ensured that such questions cannot be answered. This they do in the name of national security. Yet by this and similar actions they undermine their cause, boost al-Qaida's credibility, scandalise the US constitution, and intensify the anxiety all Americans share about possible repeat attacks. Perhaps another terrible outrage really was forestalled. But the point is, how is the public to know?
The Bush administration's feckless attitude to civil liberties and the law, symbolised by its Guantanamo Bay prison camp, is far from being the only frightening aspect of current policy. Mr Bush's West Point speech on June 1 made clear that this administration now feels itself justified in threatening, and attacking without warning, states and individuals anywhere, any time if, in its unaccountable, secretly-sourced wisdom, it judges them to constitute a potential security risk. Mr Bush's aggressive rhetoric about the "evil axis", "unbalanced dictators", "mad tyrants", and unidentified foes seeking the "catastrophic power to strike at great nations" stokes rather than reduces fear. By threatening pre-emptive strikes, even to the irresponsible extent of using tactical nuclear weapons, Mr Bush foments international instability, encourages copycat behaviour by vassal governments, and invites pre-emptive pre-emption by hidden enemies. Thus is international law, like US domestic law, subverted, no doubt to the terrorists' silent delight. This is not leadership. It is scare tactics borne, perhaps, of an unpleasant mix of political calculation and something approaching private panic.
What is needed now is backbone - a little less of febrility in Washington, a little more of fortitude and calm resolve. Nobody doubts the reality of the terrorist menace; the potential horror of weapons of mass destruction in the wrong hands is plain to all. But curbing proliferation means, for example, fully funding the Nunn-Lugar programme for weapons disposal (which Mr Bush initially opposed) and extending it beyond the old Soviet sphere. Beating terrorism requires painstaking collective diplomacy and intelligence-gathering, not go-it-alone militarism. Sound leadership means respecting and building on America's democratic strengths, not emphasising America's vulnerability to justify the undercutting of its traditions. Too much of what Mr Bush and his officials say, including the al-Muhajir case, looks politically-driven, partly by a belatedly rising tide of domestic criticism, partly by a rightwing agenda. Too much of what they do lacks perspective. When fear usurps reason and becomes the ruling principle of governance, terrorism wins.
