●本来「テロリズム」とは、政府が国民を怖がらせて言うことを聞かせる“恐怖政治”を意味します。それがいつのまにか言葉の意味が歪められて、政府を怖がらせる勢力の不正規戦争を「テロリズム」と呼ぶようになったのでした。「沸かし湯の銭湯」を、いつのまにか「温泉」と呼ぶようになったのと一緒ですね。（笑）
●９・１１事変は、たとえ外国の勢力がおこなったものでも、政治的な恐怖支配を打ち出したものではないので、本来は「テロリズム」と呼ぶべきものではありません。
そうやって言葉の意味を汚染しつづけると、本当の「テロリズム」と、「侵略行為」や「破壊活動」の区別が付かなくなります。まあ米国政府の場合は「テロリズム」も「侵略行為」も「破壊活動」もやってるヤツらが一緒だから言葉に分別を求める必要なんてないのかも知れませんけどね。
●とりあえず確実に言えることは、言葉本来の意味において、正しく「テロリズム」を行なっているのは、少なくとも米国においては小ブッシュ政権だということです。
狼少年のような危機アジリを繰り返して国民を縮みあがらせ、それによっていろいろと都合のいい政策を押しつけてきたのは他ならぬ“ダブヤ”ですからね。
●ところで先日以来のテロ警報「コードレヴェル・オレンジ」は、アルカイダのメンバーだとされる男がハッタリをかましたのを鵜呑みにして大あわてした結果だったことが判明しました。 ……なんだかスピルバーグの「1941」を見ているみたいです。今回の米軍の心理戦争はハリウッド映画人たちも動員しているようですが、現実はハリウッドの“想像力”を凌駕しちゃってますね。

False Alarm？
Terror Alert Partly Based on Fabricated Information
【インチキ警報か？
テロ警報の根拠の一部はただのホラ話だった】
By Brian Ross, Len Tepper and Jill Rackmill
Feb. 13 -- A key piece of the information leading to recent terror alerts was fabricated, according to two senior law enforcement officials in Washington and New York.

The officials said that a claim made by a captured al Qaeda member that Washington, New York or Florida would be hit by a "dirty bomb" sometime this week had proven to be a product of his imagination.
【この２人の捜査当局高官によると、逮捕されたアルカイダ・メンバーのひとりがワシントンとニューヨークかフロリダを「汚い爆弾」で攻撃すると語っていたが、それが今週になって“想像の産物”だったことが判明したという。】
The informant described a detailed plan that an al Qaeda cell operating in either Virginia or Detroit had developed a way to slip past airport scanners with dirty bombs encased in shoes, suitcases, or laptops, sources told ABCNEWS. The informant reportedly cited specific targets of government buildings and Christian or clerical centers.
"This piece of that puzzle turns out to be fabricated and therefore the reason for a lot of the alarm, particularly in Washington this week, has been dissipated after they found out that this information was not true," said Vince Cannistraro, former CIA counter- terrorism chief and ABCNEWS consultant.
It was only after the threat level was elevated to orange -- meaning high -- last week, that the informant was subjected to a polygraph test by the FBI, officials told ABCNEWS.
"This person did not pass," said Cannistraro.
According to officials, the FBI and the CIA are pointing fingers at each other. An FBI spokesperson told ABCNEWS today he was "not familiar with the scenario," but did not think it was accurate.
Despite the fabricated report, there are no plans to change the threat level. Officials said other intelligence has been validated and that the high level of precautions is fully warranted.
【ホラ話とわかったものの、テロ警報の水準を落とすつもりなないという。政府の役人たちは、ほかの諜報結果は依然として有効だし、高度な警戒態勢を続けていれば十分に安全だから、だそうだ。】
●●New Yorkers Taking Police Presence in Stride
In New York, police are out in force in the subways, at train stations and airports and at the bridge and tunnel crossings into the city with radiation detectors and gas masks. In a press conference this afternoon, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said 16,000 law enforcement officials trained to combat terrorism were deployed in the city. Air patrols have also returned to New York.
"We are constantly changing what we're doing so no one can predict what instruments we'll be using and where we'll be going," Bloomberg said. The mayor stressed that while people should be vigilant, they should also be aware that New York City has been on code level orange for 17 months -- since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center.
New Yorkers, and people around the country, should not be frozen by fear and must carry on with their daily lives, the mayor said. New York Gov. George Pataki said it is important for people to be alert to anything suspicious around them, but that they should not spread rumors that could create panic.
●●‘Threat Is Still There’
"By no means do people believe the threat has evaporated," said Cannistraro. "The threat is still there, the question really is the timing and when this is going to happen."
It's not the first time a captured al Qaeda operative has made up a huge story and scared a lot of people.
The FBI concluded the information that led to a nationwide hunt for five men suspected of infiltrating the United States on Christmas Eve was fabricated by an informant, and the agency called off the alert sparked by the information.
Officials said this one got so far because it coincided with other intelligence, that officials still believe points to a coming attack, timed to hostilities with Iraq.
