Secret CIA report provided by WikiLeaks to Al-Akhbar admits to failure of ‘targeted killings’
▻http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/secret-cia-report-provided-wikileaks-al-akhbar-admits-failure-%E2

A secret CIA review by the Office of Transnational Issues on the use of High-Value Targeting (HVT) – in other words, capture and killing of important enemy military targets for the United States – as part of an overall counterinsurgency strategy has been released by WikiLeaks. It is the first in a series of leaks regarding the CIA, and was obtained by Al-Akhbar English. The review is a small peak into the rationale and planning of the US’ counter-insurgency tactics, and reveals that these policies persist despite their failure.

CIA Review of High-Value Target Assassination Programs
►http://wikileaks.org/cia-hvt-counterinsurgency/press-release.html

Capturing HVTs instead is not necessarily a desirable option from the CIA’s perspective. Drawing on the CIA-assisted capture of Nelson Mandela and the ANC leader’s 27-year sentence, which he served in an Apartheid prison, the report concludes that: “Capturing leaders may have a limited psychological impact on a group if members believe that captured leaders will eventually return to the group [...] or if those leaders are able to maintain their influence while in government custody, as Nelson Mandela did while incarcerated in South Africa. (S//NF)”

bref la CIA pense qu’il est plus rentable d’assassiner Mandela que de l’emprisonner

Secret Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) - Environment Consolidated Text
▻http://wikileaks.org/tpp-enviro

Today, 15 January 2014, WikiLeaks released the secret draft text for the entire TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) Environment Chapter and the corresponding Chairs’ Report. The TPP transnational legal regime would cover 12 countries initially and encompass 40 per cent of global GDP and one-third of world trade. The Environment Chapter has long been sought by journalists and environmental groups. The released text dates from the Chief Negotiators’ summit in Salt Lake City, Utah, on 19-24 November 2013.

The Environment Chapter covers what the Parties propose to be their positions on: environmental issues, including climate change, biodiversity and fishing stocks; and trade and investment in ’environmental’ goods and services. It also outlines how to resolve enviromental disputes arising out of the treaty’s subsequent implementation. The draft Consolidated Text was prepared by the Chairs of the Environment Working Group, at the request of TPP Ministers at the Brunei round of the negotiations.

Leaked: environmental chapter of the secret Trans-Pacific Partnership treaty
▻http://boingboing.net/2014/01/15/leaked-environmental-chapter.html

Most of our coverage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership has focused on its Internet-regulating provisions. But the treaty — which has been negotiated in unprecedented secrecy, with heavy-handed shoves from the US Trade Representative — also has disturbing implications for the environment. Today, Wikileaks published a leaked consolidated draft of TPP’s environment chapter, which sets out the ways in which corporations will be able to prevent countries from passing environmental laws that interfere with profit making.

US, Australia isolated in TPP negotiations
▻http://wikileaks.org/US-Australia-isolated-in-TPP.html

Throughout the text it is clear that on the contentious issues, Australia’s position is closely aligned with the US. Australia and the US are the only two countries to object to a proposal to limit Internet service providers’ liability in relation to copyright infringement, a proposal supported by the remaining countries (minus Japan which does not express its position). Malaysia and New Zealand both oppose provisions that would force ISPs to filter or block access to ’repeat infringers’ of copyright. New Zealand’s proposals have strong support from Malaysia (115) and Chile (114).

#cablegate: 06DAMASCUS5399, INFLUENCING THE SARG IN THE END OF 2006
▻http://wikileaks.org/cable/2006/12/06DAMASCUS5399.html

— Possible action:

–- PLAY ON SUNNI FEARS OF IRANIAN INFLUENCE: There are fears in Syria that the Iranians are active in both Shia proselytizing and conversion of, mostly poor, Sunnis. Though often exaggerated, such fears reflect an element of the Sunni community in Syria that is increasingly upset by and focused on the spread of Iranian influence in their country through activities ranging from mosque construction to business. Both the local Egyptian and Saudi missions here, (as well as prominent Syrian Sunni religious leaders), are giving increasing attention to the matter and we should coordinate more closely with their governments on ways to better publicize and focus regional attention on the issue.

Developing the Negev and Galilee with U.S. Help

¶7. (C) Wilf told EconCouns that U.S. assistance for
development of the Negev and Galilee regions in tandem with
disengagement was “put firmly on the agenda” with AIPAC and
Congress during Vice PM Peres’ recent visit to the U.S. The
GOI hopes Congress will pass a supplemental assistance
package during its next opportunity to do so, likely
September/October. The development plan, Wilf explained,
will seek to mobilize funds from the Israeli budget,
worldwide Jewish communities, and the USG. The plan is
broad-spectrum and will address education, business and
investment opportunities, and overall “quality of life”
issues. In the Negev the plan will be anchored in a
multi-ministry development initiative for the Bedouin
community, including relocation of some 65,000 Bedouin living
in unrecognized villages between Beer Sheva and Dimona (see
septel.) (Note: A majority of this population opposes
relocation, arguing instead that the GOI must recognize the
45 largest Bedouin settlements and provide them with
government services such as water, schools, and medical
clinics. End note.)

Il est intéressant de lire ce que les médias traditionnels français ont retenu de la dernière confèrence de presse de #Snowden.

Personne n’a trouvé utile de relever des passages comme les suivants : ▻http://wikileaks.org/Statement-by-Edward-Snowden-to.html

The 4th and 5th Amendments to the Constitution of my country, Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and numerous statutes and treaties forbid such systems of massive, pervasive surveillance. While the US Constitution marks these programs as illegal, my government argues that secret court rulings, which the world is not permitted to see, somehow legitimize an illegal affair. These rulings simply corrupt the most basic notion of justice – that it must be seen to be done. The immoral cannot be made moral through the use of secret law.

I believe in the principle declared at Nuremberg in 1945: “Individuals have international duties which transcend the national obligations of obedience. Therefore individual citizens have the duty to violate domestic laws to prevent crimes against peace and humanity from occurring.”

Edward Snowden : « L’administration Obama n’a pas peur des lanceurs d’alerte comme moi, Bradley Manning, ou Thomas Drake [..] Elle a peur de vous. Elle a peur d’un public informé et en colère, qui réclame le gouvernement constitutionnel promis - et elle a de quoi. »

Assange Statement on the First Day of Manning Trial
▻http://wikileaks.org/Assange-Statement-on-the-First-Day.html

The government has prepared for a good show. The trial is to proceed for twelve straight weeks: a fully choreographed extravaganza, with a 141-strong cast of prosecution witnesses. The defense was denied permission to call all but a handful of witnesses. Three weeks ago, in closed session, the court actually held a rehearsal. Even experts on military law have called this unprecedented.

Bradley Manning’s conviction is already written into the script. The commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces, Barack Obama, spoiled the plot for all of us when he pronounced Bradley Manning guilty two years ago. “He broke the law,” President Obama stated, when asked on camera at a fundraiser about his position on Mr. Manning. In a civilized society, such a prejudicial statement alone would have resulted in a mistrial.

To convict Bradley Manning, it will be necessary for the US government to conceal crucial parts of his trial. Key portions of the trial are to be conducted in secrecy: 24 prosecution witnesses will give secret testimony in closed session, permitting the judge to claim that secret evidence justifies her decision. But closed justice is no justice at all.

What cannot be shrouded in secrecy will be hidden through obfuscation. The remote situation of the courtroom, the arbitrary and discretionary restrictions on access for journalists, and the deliberate complexity and scale of the case are all designed to drive fact-hungry reporters into the arms of official military PR men, who mill around the Fort Meade press room like over-eager sales assistants. The management of Bradley Manning’s case will not stop at the limits of the courtroom. It has already been revealed that the Pentagon is closely monitoring press coverage and social media discussions on the case.

This is not justice; never could this be justice. The verdict was ordained long ago. Its function is not to determine questions such as guilt or innocence, or truth or falsehood. It is a public relations exercise, designed to provide the government with an alibi for posterity. It is a show of wasteful vengeance; a theatrical warning to people of conscience.

LEBANON : WITH DAS HALE, VETERAN SUNNI FIGURE
STRESSES NEED FOR MORE ASSISTANCE TO THE ARMY
▻http://wikileaks.org/cable/2008/09/08BEIRUT1288.html

In his August 30 meeting with visiting NEA DAS David Hale, Minister of Culture and respected leader of the Sunni community Tammam Salaam stressed the need for progress in the Israeli/Palestinian peace process to defuse extremism in the region. Praising Hizballah’s quick admission of culpability in the August 28 attack on a Lebanese Army helicopter, Salaam opined that a “security by consensus” understanding was emerging between Hizballah and the government. Salaam stressed the need for more powerful USG assistance to the Lebanese Armed Forces, warned about continuing sectarian tension and rising extremism, as demonstrated in Tripoli, and expressed moderate praise for Lebanon’s top three leaders, President Sleiman, PM Siniora, and Speaker Berri. End summary.

Minister of Culture Tammam Salaam told DAS Hale August 30, one day after the cabinet named Kahwagi as the new LAF Commander, that the appointment should give the impression that security is under control. Instead, the helicopter incident represented a step backwards. Salaam did not believe Hizballah would be held accountable for the incident, but credited Hizballah for not being “arrogant” in its public statements on the incident. Salaam added that what was evolving between Hizballah and the GOL was a “security by consensus” understanding.

LEBANON : MIKATI CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT ELECTORAL OUTCOME, BUT SAYS RACE WILL BE CLOSE

Mikati observed that the process of state-building was difficult. He said an April 13 attack on a Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) patrol in the Bekaa valley proved that “curing” one institution was not enough, if the others were still “sick,” such as the Justice Ministry or the Internal Security Forces (the police). He called President Sleiman “wise,” and credited him for acting as an arbitrator between Lebanon’s political factions. If the electoral outcome produced a moderate majority, including a group of eight to ten independents, then Sleiman would be strengthened, he theorized. Among the independents, Mikati believed that he, current Minister of Culture Tammam Salaam (Sunni), and presidential advisor Nazem Khoury (Christian) were among those who could bring about this change.

Tammam Salam, former Member of Parliament
–----------------------------------------

¶7. Salam was born in Beirut in 1945. The Salam family is one of the prominent traditional Sunni political families of Beirut. His late father was one of the heroes of Lebanon’s independence in 1943. Hariri’s political and financial powers undermined the role of the Salam family in Beirut. He is the son of former Prime Minister Saeb Salam.

Salam was elected a Member of Parliament in 1996. He lost his seat in 2000 because of the late Prime Minister Hariri’s efforts against him. Salam was trying to mend fences with the Hariri camp in early 2005, ahead of the Spring Parliamentary elections. When Speaker Berri launched his response to the Bristol opposition group meetings, Salam participated in Berri’s counterpart conclave known as “Ain Tineh.” Salam abstained from attending the subsequent meeting “Ain Tineh II” after Hariri’s assassination.

HISTORY HOLDS UP CONSTRUCTION
–----------------------------

¶7. (C) Another issue that has come up recently is the discovery of an archaeological site on the grounds of the Nahr al-Barid camp. Two, 3,000 year-old sarcophagi were discovered on the camp site. According to Lebanese law, the GOL is responsible for preserving the site. There exists a number of options on how to do this. However, UNRWA favors leaving the site as is and building around/above the archaeological find (known as back-filling), as it is the quickest and easiest option. Minister of Culture, Tammam Salam’s recommendation on how to preserve the site is needed before construction can begin. Lombardo asked the Ambassador to speak with Salam to urge him to support this option.

LATE-BREAKING LEGAL CHALLENGE FROM AOUN
–------------------

¶2. (C) In mid-August, Michel Aoun filed a lawsuit with the Shura court requesting an injunction against the backfilling of recently discovered Roman ruins underneath areas of the Nahr al-Barid (NAB) Palestinian refugee camp near Tripoli. The basis for the suit is how to best preserve the remains of the Roman village discovered during rubble and UXO removal. The Directorate General of Antiquities (DGA) earlier in the year carried out a extensive survey at the site and, with cabinet approval, agreed that construction could continue if the ruins were “backfilled” with compressed soil at least one meter above the tallest portion of the ruins after UXO and rubble removal. Caretaker Culture Minister Tammam Salam told us on August 25 that Aoun was demanding the GOL relocate the camp to new land, an option already studied and rejected due to the cost and procedural delays in appropriating the land. Salam described Aoun’s demand as disingenuous since, were the GOL to appropriate new land, Aoun would accuse the GOL of instituting a permanent resettlement plan or “tawteen” for the refugees, a policy universally rejected across the Lebanese political spectrum. One of the issues being considered by the court is whether Aoun has legal standing for the suit, either as a private citizen or an MP.

¶3. (C) The GOL filed an appeal to Aoun’s lawsuit, caretaker Justice Minister Ibrahim Najjar confirmed to Ambassador on August 14. Najjar said that both Aoun and the GOL had one month to prepare their cases. Meanwhile, on August 25 caretaker PM Siniora met with Salam, the DGA, the secretary general of the cabinet and a Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) representative to “consolidate” the government’s position before presenting their appeal to the court later in September. Salam, who underscored earlier acceptance by some members of the opposition of the DGA’s proposal, noted that two of the three judges on the State Council, which must rule on the appeal, are Aoun supporters. On August 26 UNRWA’s Deputy Director for Lebanon Roger Davies told the Ambassador the court had ordered the previously agreed-upon work on backfilling to cease while the case is adjudicated. Only archeological surveying, rubble and UXO removal will continue. Davies said that Siniora had advised UNRWA on August 26 to obey the instruction, which asserting that the GOL was “100 percent behind” the NAB reconstruction project. Davies told us August 27 that UNRWA planned to order its contractor to cease backfilling operations on August 31. According to Regional UNRWA Director Filipo Grandi, the end of October was previously the projected date to complete the clearance work and begin constructing building foundations.

▻http://wikileaks.org/cable/2009/08/09BEIRUT973.html

AOUN THE PROBLEM?
OR HARIRI?
–----------------

¶4. (C) The General does not fold easily, however, and underscored that his demands are firm and he will not “visit” anyone, adding cheekily that if “someone” wants to negotiate, he can visit the broad terrace of Aoun’s house. Caretaker Minister of Culture and Future Party stalwart Tammam Salam told the Ambassador August 25 that despite being “unstable,” Aoun is extremely intelligent, a political animal who does his homework and commits himself to a plan. “Even his allies can’t reel him in,” said Salam. “With or without the blessing of Syria, he will do what he wants.” Alain Aoun explained to PolChief August 26 that the General’s obstinacy was the result of Hariri’s marginalizing him (reftel) and insisted Hariri will need to find a way to meet with the General in order to move forward.

¶5. (C) Hariri has remained stoic in his responses to Aoun’s recent rants, winning praise from his allies, including Salam, who assessed that his performance has been “perfect” to date. Nonetheless, Hariri’s attempts to isolate Aoun have brought criticism from the opposition (reftel). Opposition MP Yassine Jaber, who is closely allied to Nabih Berri’s Amal party, suggested Hariri should have started negotiating with Aoun from the beginning instead of expecting Hizballah to push him. Indeed, Raad has insisted consistently in his public comments that Hizballah is Aoun’s ally, but not his mediator.

[…]

OUTSIDE FORCES
–-------------

¶9. (C) Many contacts still contend that the Hariri-Aoun spat cannot be the only thing holding up the government and that outside pressures are the real source of stalemate. Salam suggested that Syria, working from a strengthened regional and international position, must be working to freeze the process. Jaber assessed that the Egyptians had been interfering in Lebanon’s cabinet formation to serve its own regional interests. Numerous Embassy interlocutors insist that nothing can move forward in Lebanon until the Saudis and Syrians return to the negotiating table. The mood of many is summed up by Jumblatt’s comment to the Ambassador that Lebanon cannot form a government “while Saudi Arabia and Iran are fighting from Yemen to Iraq.”
