Your Opinions & Comments On:Minister: 'I'm sorry for texts to girl, 24'
Note: A Government Ministers career was hanging in the balance last night after he admitted bombarding a young female aide with suggestive phone messages. Ivan Lewis, a 41-year-old Health Minister, issued a statement apologising for sending dozens of mobile phone text messages to Susie Mason, a 24-year-old assistant who worked in his private office in Whitehall. After complaining to her bosses, Ms Mason was moved to a different job before resigning from the Civil Service to join an accountancy firm. He was obviously attracted to Susie, but his behaviour went well beyond acceptable office boundaries, a Whitehall source said.

US, Iran in Secret Talks Over Hostages & Diary of a Vengeance Foretold] Part 59 - Aug. 30, 1988
Note: In July 1997, the magazine Der Spiegel reported that German prosecutors had interviewed Mesbahi, previously only known as witness "C," in a case concerning the assassination of Iranian dissidents in Berlin. Mesbahi is a former high-ranking Iranian intelligence official.German authorities came to regard Mesbahi as a credible witness. In fact, based on his testimony, an Iranian and three Lebanese were convicted of killing several Iranian Kurdish dissidents in Germany. For the first time anywhere, based on his testimony, Germany issued an international arrest warrant against a top-ranking Iranian official, namely Iran's former intelligence minister, Ali Fallahian.Without naming them explicitly, the court declared that Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Ayatollah Rafsanjani had authorized the assassination. Such a ruling would have been all but impossible without Mesbahi's precise knowledge of Iran's intelligence apparatus.Three weeks before the beginning of the trial, Fallahian flew to Bonn and met with the top German intelligence official in an effort to free the five suspects and stop the prosecution. The prosecutor, Bruno Jost, would later declare that the attempt to interfere with the trial clearly pointed to the murder having happened on Tehran's orders.Besides linking Iran to the killing of dissidents in Berlin, Mesbahi claimed that Iran was behind the 1988 bombing of the Pan Am airliner. Tehran promptly attempted to dismiss his testimony as part of an anti-Iran campaign by Western media."I can say that a witness has been interviewed and that his testimony blames Iran," declared Job Tilmann, a spokesman for the Frankfurt prosecutors' office.Mesbahi told investigators that Iran had asked Libya and Abu Nidal, a Palestinian guerrilla leader, to carry out the attack on Pan Am 103, which was destroyed in flight by a small bomb on Dec. 21, 1988. According to Mesbahi, Iran planned the attack as revenge after the US cruiser Vincennes shot down an Iran Air Airbus over the Strait of Hormuz a few months earlier in 1988. Few who studied the Lockerbie bombing doubt the veracity of this statement. Dr. Jim Swire lost his daughter Flora in the Lockerbie tragedy. On Jan. 11 of this year, Swire wrote to me that he never doubted who ordered the bombing, why they did it and who supplied the technology. Biography- Abolghasem Mesbahi was born on Dec. 17, 1957, in Tehran, Iran. He studied theology at the famous University of Quom. In February 1979, Mesbahi was about to become an Imam when history decided otherwise.The leader of the revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Musawi Khomeini, picked him as the director of the detention center of Dschamschidieh, near Tehran. The center was a prison for the former high-ranking military men under the Shah Reza Palavi.In August 1979, Mesbahi is sent to Paris as second man in command. He is in charge of all intelligence matters. Beside Farsi and Arabic, Mesbahi also speaks fluently French, German and English.His activities were directed primarily against exiled opponents of the Iranian government. In 1983, the French government declared Mesbahi persona non grata and expelled him for "intelligence activities incompatible with his diplomatic status." Soon after his expulsion from France, he was transferred to the Iranian Embassy in Bonn. As the intelligence coordinator for Western Europe, Mesbahi resumed the monitoring of the Iranian opposition. In 1985, Mesbahi returned to Iran to assist the organization of the Ministry of Intelligence and National Security (also known as VEVAK from the Persian: Vezarat-e Ettela'at va Amniat-e Keshvar). The VEVAK is the primary intelligence agency of the Islamic Republic of Iran and allegedly the best-funded ministry.In February 1986, Mesbahi left the VEVAK in order to serve as deputy head of the international and political office of the Foreign Ministry. Six months later he was put in charge of United Nations affairs.Needing a cover to infiltrate various dissident groups, Mesbahi joined the University of Geneva. There, he worked towards a Ph.D. in political sciences under the supervision of Jean Ziegler.

TIT FOR TAT : Venezuela to host Russia navy exercise in Caribbean
Note: CARACAS (Reuters) - Several Russian ships and 1,000 soldiers will take part in joint naval maneuvers with Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea later this year, exercises likely to increase diplomatic tensions with Washington, a pro-government newspaper reported on Saturday Quoting Venezuela's naval intelligence director, Salbarore Cammarata, the newspaper Vea said four Russian boats would visit Venezuelan waters from November 10 to 14. Plans for the naval operations come at a time of heightened diplomatic tension and Cold War-style rhetoric between Moscow and the United States over the recent war in Georgia and plans for a U.S. missile defense system in the Czech Republic and Poland. Cammarata said it would be the first time Russia's navy carried out such exercises in Latin America. He said the Venezuelan air force would also take part.

Vladimir Putin set to bait US with nuclear aid for Tehran - Times Online
Note: Hardliners were infuriated last week by the visit to Georgia of Dick Cheney, the American vice-president. “Georgia will be in our alliance,” Cheney said. He also visited Ukraine, whose Nato aspirations could make it the next flashpoint between Russia and America. However in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, events appeared to be moving Moscow’s way. Viktor Yushchenko, the pro-western president, is fighting to stay in power in a crisis that could see him impeached. “I’m amused by claims in the West that Russia is the loser in this crisis,” said a former Putin aide. “What would Washington do if we were arming Cuba the way it armed Georgia? The postSoviet days when we could be pushed around are over.”
