Powell implies he just read the script supporting war Former Secretary of State, General Colin Powell was questioned by Sam Husseini outside of CBS Studios on Sunday, December 17 in regards to the nature of his statements and actions in supporting the prosecution of war on Iraq, based on his public appearance before the United Nations Security Council and Bob Woodward's account of the process in "Plan of Attack." Powell suggested that he had no role in checking the veracity of the material supplied to him by the intelligence community, casting blame by strong implication on the CIA, echoing previous assertions in the fallout of the Iraq War. http://www.washingtonstakeout.com Tags: colin powell colinpowell samhusseini sam husseini thewashingtonstakeout iraq war tws |

Sam Husseini Quesions House Democratic Leader Pelosi on WMD QUESTION [Sam Husseini]: Ms. Pelosi, this is you on "Meet the Press" on November 17th, 2002, quote: "Saddam Hussein certainly has chemical and biological weapons. There's no question about that." Wasn't it your job to ask questions about that? And doesn't that make you a rather weak person, in contrast to some of your colleagues in the House -- in the Democratic House -- who did ask those questions as the Bush administration pushed towards war, that you said, quote, "Saddam Hussein certainly has --" PELOSI: I heard your question. QUESTION: "-- chemical and biological weapons. There's no question about that," and none have been found? http://www.accuracy.org/article.php?articleId=1025 Tags: pelosi democrat democrats politics war peace husseini sam samhusseini ipa |

Sen. Harry Reid questioned on funding the Iraq War As Senator Harry Reid (D - NV) left the set of ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," Sam Husseini asked him about withdrawing troops from Iraq and whether supporting the war budget wasn't also support for the Bush Administration's prosecution of the war. Reid answered with talk of "redeployment" as opposed to "pulling out tomorrow," without mentioning the other plans for timed withdrawal and international cooperation proposed by the likes of Rep. Murtha and others. http://www.washingtonstakeout.com Tags: iraq war senator harryreid reid samhusseini husseini thewashingtonstakeout withdrawal congress |

Rep-Elect Sestak on Iraqi oil, war funding, air war, more Sounding like he was still on the campaign trail, Representative-Elect Joe Sestak (D - PA) answered questions from Sam Husseini regarding the Iraq Study Group's recommendation to privatize the Iraqi oil industry and whether or not Congress' funding of the Iraq war was also support for Bush's administration of the war. Sestak admitted "our way" of doing things may not be best of the Iraqis and proferred support for the idea that Iraqis best decide what works for them. The new Representative refused to support war budget cuts to force a withdrawal, rather he endorsed moving some components of war funding into the normal budget process, as opposed to these hypothetical programs being a part of emergency supplemental funding. Sestak was also asked for the form of redeployment he supported which highlights increased use of air power. Sestak claimed "we do air power very well without doing a lot of casualties." Sestak was also asked about the U.S. role in the Israel-Palestine situation. http://www.washingtonstakeout.com/ Tags: iraq palestine war airwar sestak samhusseini tws washingtonstakeout thewashingtonstakeout |

Privatizing Iraqi Oil? Iraq Study Group co-chair questioned Lee Hamilton, a co-chair of the Iraq Study Group, is asked about a provision in the ISG's findings that seems to advocate privatization of Iraqi oil assets and putting in the hands of international, likely Western, investors -- oil companies. http://www.washingtonstakeout.com Transcript: Husseini: Mr. Hamilton, can you clarify one of your recommendations, number 63, which called on the US to "assist the Iraqi leaders to reorganize the national oil industry as a commercial enterprise and to encourage investment in Iraq's oil sector by the international community and by international energy companies. Are you calling for some sort of privitization? Hamilton: Oil of course is the critical asset in Iraq. It furnishes a very large percentage of the GDP of Iraq. It furnishes a huge percentage of the total revenues of the government. We recommend many things with regard to the oil industry. I think there are as many recommendations on oil as any other feature of it, and you have to look at them as a package. Okay, thank you.

Trent Lott on President Carter's Palestine Book Sam Husseini questions Senator Trent Lott on Sunday, December 10 on his views of Jimmy Carter's analysis in "Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid." http://www.washingtonstakeout.com Husseini: Senator Lott, how do you react to President Carter's recent statements that Israel is imposing an apartheid system on the Palestinians, and there's been a defacto silence, a complicity, by both parties in the Congress. How do you react to that statement? Lott: I really have been concerned by a lot of what former President Carter had to say, and I don't think a lot of it has been helpful in any way. The situation with Israel and how they deal with the Palestinian issue and others is very very serious, very critical, and I think while we should try to be helpful, we should also be very careful in what we propose and what we say. Transcript: Sam Husseini: Senator, have you been to the West Bank, have you been to any Palestinian towns? Trent Lott: Yeah, uh, I have not recently, but I have been there in the past, yes. Husseini: In Israeli settlements, or on the other side of the line? Lott: On the Israeli side of the line. Husseini: So you haven't been to the Palestinian towns and villages. Lott: No, no I have not been to the Palestinian side of the equation. Look, it is not a perfect situation, I don't deny that... Husseini: Doesn't that prove Carter's point? Lott: Now part of what you do in finding a solution is not start, you know, using names and casting dispersions on either side. You try to find how you solve the problem. You try to move to a positive solution without trying to characterize or condemn one side or the other. Look, there's no perfection in how that part of the world and the Middle East is being done. But we need to try to find a way to come to some solutions and I think good men and women of good will are going to have to do that. Husseini: But how can you do that if you only go to one side of the line? You said you've only been to one side Lott: Look, I haven't condemned the other side... Husseini: No, no, but you haven't been there, you don't see their point of view. How do you know it's not apartheid if you haven't been on their side of the fence? Lott: I've never been to North Korea either, do I have an opinion on that situation, yeah. I haven't been to Iran... Husseini: So it might be apartheid for all you know. Lott: I would not describe it that way. Tags: trentlott lott senator politics palestine apartheid humanrights samhusseini |

Edwards Middle East policy doesn't acknowledge Israeli nukes Leaving the studios of CBS, presidential candidate Senator John Edwards repeated his position that he was for direct engagement with Iran. That position is qualified by Edwards also insisting that "all options on the table." In January, in a satellite broadcast to the Herzliya Conference in Israel Senator Edwards asserted "once Iran goes nuclear, other countries in the Middle East will go nuclear, making Israel's neighborhood much more volatile." Sam Husseini wondered if the region wasn't already destabilized by Israel's own first possession (excluding the United States' own projection of force) of nuclear arms in the Middle East. Husseini asked the senator if he would acknowledge Israel's nuclear weapons and wondered if the lack of such acknowledgment also aggravated the situation. http://www.washingtonstakeout.com Tags: tws washington stakeout washingtondc senator john edwards sam husseini iran nuclear weapons arms israel middle east |

Kennedy calls for accountability, dodges oil profit question Coming out of the studios of Meet The Press today, Senator Edward Kennedy said he expected President Bush to "describe a different Iraq than ... most Americans understand and recognize" in the State of the Union Address. He also said "the American people are entitled to require the President to come to Congress to get an authorization...." After his comments, Senator Kennedy was asked by Sam Husseini on the latest developments of proposed Iraqi oil legislation, which seems to nominally keep control in the hands of the US-supported Iraqi government, but makes large profitable concessions to U.S. Oil Companies. In response, Kennedy asserted that "the objective for the oil distribution is ... to be fair to different regions of the country," and did not speak to the point the query about the role of US corporations.

Schwarzenegger dimisses single-payer health system Dismissing the idea of a single payer health care system in his state, via the specter of inefficient government bureaucracy, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke of a system where all citizens were "insured," keeping firmly in place a private layer of industry between citizens and health care services one might think would be obsoleted or diminished by real universal health care. As he left for his car, The Washington Stakeout's Sam Husseini asked the governor if he believed there was "such a thing as a business bureaucracy," to which Schwarzenegger responded "oh yeah" -- but there was no opportunity to further explore the governor's thoughts, or see what he knew about the examples and lessons learned the North, in Canada. http://www.washingtonstakeout.com/ Tags: tws thewashingtonstakeout washingtonstakeout washingtondc sam husseini arnold schwarzenegger singlepayer healthcare |

Cited Iraqi defector said no WMD, Powell claimed not to know Sam Husseini followed-up with General Powell as he left CBS studios, raising the point that the man Powell cited in his famous February 4, 2003 Security Council appearance, Hussein Kamel, also had said that there were no more weapons of mass destruction. This story was first broke, according to FAIR (http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1845), by Newsweek, in late February of 2003 (dated for early March) -- before the open launch of the Iraq war and after Powell's speech. When Husseini pressed to see of Powell was aware of this evidence, he adamantly asserted "Of course not!" In pressing again for a direct confirmation that he was not aware of evidence contradicting public assertions about alleged-Iraqi WMD, Powell's only response was "I've answered your question." http://www.washingtonstakeout.com/ Tags: tws thewashingtonstakeout colin powell sam husseini iraq war unitednations securitycouncil |

Condi Rice slides by on a snowy morning The Washington Stakeout staked-out the Secretary of State at the Capitol Hill studios of Fox News and hoped to get an answer from her about claims she made -- as National Security Advisor with then Secretary of State Colin Powell in 2001 -- that Saddam Hussein's "military forces have not been rebuilt." Claims made not too long before the 2003 invasion of Iraq by the United States. With no response to that line of questioning, Sam Husseini queried Rice on a basic accepted fact that has not been officially acknowledged by the United States -- Israel's possession of nuclear weapons. http://www.washingtonstakeout.com/ Tags: thewashingtonstakeout tws washingtonstakeout foxnews fox condi rice sam husseini washingtondc iraq war peace nucleararms |

Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land: Israel & Palestine http://www.PPPL.org Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land: U.S. Media & the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites--oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others--work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported. Through the voices of scholars, media critics, peace activists, religious figures, and Middle East experts, Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land carefully analyzes and explains how--through the use of language, framing and context--the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza remains hidden in the news media, and Israeli colonization of the occupied terrorities appears to be a defensive move rather than an offensive one. The documentary also explores the ways that U.S. journalists, for reasons ranging from intimidation to a lack of thorough investigation, have become complicit in carrying out Israel's PR campaign. At its core, the documentary raises questions about the ethics and role of journalism, and the relationship between media and politics. Interviewees include Seth Ackerman, Mjr. Stav Adivi, Rabbi Arik Ascherman, Hanan Ashrawi, Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk, Neve Gordon, Toufic Haddad, Sam Husseini, Hussein Ibish, Robert Jensen, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Karen Pfeifer, Alisa Solomon, and Gila Svirsky.
