1) Maersk
Among the reports coming out of Iraq in summer 2003--reports that were never followed up by the "military-industrial complex" press--was one that quoted a local city official in Basra, a harbor town, that he saw containers on a Maersk line ship that were marked as "Red Cross" but that contained missiles. As you will recall, there was an intense MIC press campaign at the time, run from the White House, about hunting down the (non-existent) WMDs in Iraq. I was already suspicious at that time that Cheney-Rumsfeld were intending to plant WMDs in Iraq to be 'found' by the U.S. soldiers who were 'hunting' for them. Judith Miller, the New York Slimes alleged reporter, who had brought us the war on Iraq, was accompanying those soldiers--and often directing them (to the annoyance of local commanders)--in prep for the 'Big Scoop' that she seemed to think was inevitable. But no WMDs were found. (Who busted that plot, if it is true? David Kelly--the British WMD inspector, and close colleague of Miller's (they wrote a book together)--who was found dead outside his home, under very suspicious circumstances, in July 2003? It's an interesting thesis.) in any case, if Maersk was involved in that planned fraud, could these deaths be connected to it? Were they potential whistleblowers?
2) The pursuit, murder and dumping-into-the ocean of Osama bin Laden.
I am very suspicious of the official story. Frankly, I think there was a very serious internal war going on between the CIA and Cheney-Rumsfeld (the CIA is another candidate for foiler of the WMD plot), and that the CIA had OBL on ice for a long time and denied the 'capture' to Cheney-Rumsfeld. (This is assuming that the official story is true as far as the identity of the murdered man--that it was OBL). As Navy Seals were involved in that tale, could these dead Navy Seals have had knowledge about that event that the "powers that be" don't want us to know?
The evidence is pretty flimsy, at this point, for either 1 or 2 being connected to these deaths. But then, the evidence for WMDs in Iraq was non-existent, as is the evidence for the demise of OBL (no body). (--not to mention, no trial). We'll see if these Navy Seals are ever identified, their murders (if it was murder) described and the perps caught, or if it just drops out of the 'news' like so much else. Another possibility is that it will be kept out of the 'news' until a cover story is concocted, as happened with Chandra Levy (ten years it took to prep the El Salvadoran patsy!)--if these Navy Seals were assassinated for official reasons.
