[Dubai, one of the seven emirates of the Federation of the United Arab Emirates, North-East of Abi-Dhabi. This city, population 350,000, was the backdrop of a secret meeting between Osama bin Laden and the local CIA agent in July. A partner of the administration of the American Hospital in Dubai claims that public enemy number one stayed at this hospital between the 4th and 14th of July.

Having taken off from the Quetta airport in Pakistan, bin Laden was transferred to the hospital upon his arrival at Dubai airport. He was accompanied by his personal physician and faithful lieutenant, who could be Ayman al-Zawahari--but on this sources are not entirely certain--, four bodyguards, as well as a male Algerian nurse, and admitted to the American Hospital, a glass and marble building situated between the Al-Garhoud and Al-Maktoum bridges.

Each floor of the hospital has two "VIP" suites and fifteen rooms. The Saudi billionaire was admitted to the well-respected urology department run by Terry Callaway, gallstone and infertility specialist. Dr Callaway declined to respond to our questions despite several phone calls.

As early as March, 2000, 'Asia Week,' published in Hong Kong, expressed concern for bin Laden's health, describing a serious medical problem that could put his life in danger because of "a kidney infection that is propagating itself to the liver and requires specialized treatment". According to authorized sources, bin Laden had mobile dialysis equipment shipped to his hideout in Kandahar in the first part of 2000. According to our sources, bin Laden's "travels for health reasons" have taken place before. Between 1996 and 1998, bin Laden made several trips to Dubai on business.] (Source: click here)

Other new services such as Reuters and the London Times also reported on the hospital stay, but both the CIA and American Hospital have continued to deny the event ever took place. What is one to believe? Perhaps the input of French terrorism expert Richard Labeviere, author of "The Corridors of Terror," will be helpful. According to a Reuters article dated Nov 11, 2001:

[Labeviere said he learned of an encounter from a contact in the Dubai hospital, and said the event was confirmed in detail during a separate interview in New York with a Gulf prince who presented himself as an adviser to the Emir of Bahrain.

The prince, who (sic) the author met in a Manhattan hotel in November 2001, appeared very well-informed about the CIA-bin Laden meeting.

Labeviere said the second contact told him the face-to-face had been arranged by Prince Turki al-Faisal, the head of the Saudi General Intelligence Department.

He quoted the second contact as saying:

"By organizing this meeting...Turki thought he could start direct negotiations between the Saudi millionaire (bin Laden) and the CIA on one fundamental point: that bin Laden and his supporters end their hostilities against American interests."

In exchange, the CIA and the Saudi (intelligence) services undertook to allow bin Laden to return to his native country, even though he was stripped of his Saudi nationality in July 1994. The Dubai meeting was a failure, Labeviere said.....Labeviere named Larry Mitchell as the CIA station chief who met bin Laden, describing him as a colorful figure well-known on the Dubai social circuit.] (Source: click here)

How Bad the Kidneys?

CNN's Paula Zahn, on January 18, 2002, in light of all the statements that bin Laden had likely died, did an interview with CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta after he viewed the late 2001 video I refer to above. Here is a portion of the transcript:

Dead or Alive, does it really matter?

Do you really believe that bin Laden matters much? He was, I concede, a focal point for half wits and rednecks hatreds, and a symbol of a war for those who love to hate.

Osama bin Laden, dead or alive, was merely a convenience to the neocons, who had been working towards a permanent American military presence in the Middle East for decades. AlQaeda will endure the death of one of its financiers, as it has many such whose wealth exceeds the gross national product of several nations. The USA has diligently and purposively fomented class and religious warfare in that region of the world to its own purpose and whether one figure, however central, lives or dies is not relevant.

Deflating the Archetype

What is driving masses of American people to continue to swallow the War on Terror is the stranglehold of this archetype of evil on their their psyches, just as the Nazis nourished the Jew as the archetype of evil. If we can deflate this archetype, Americans will begin to free their minds more and more. Right now America is lurching from bogey man to bogey man irrationally, emotionally with no engagement of the critical faculties. Every revelation of truth is a step in the right direction.

I could be Osama.

It is funny. My mother in law asked me with concerned look on her face if I had seen the latest Osama bin Laden tape when it came out.  I assured her, "With enough makeup the guys from Hollywood could make me look like Osama bin Laden. The government is just trying to scare you. I used to put out false information like this for your government when I was in the military."
