At the start of their courtship, Samira was married to an Iraqi air force pilot. Saddam simply kidnapped him and said he would only be set free if he agreed to divorce Samira. The husband agreed. In return, he was made head of Iraqi Airways—and given a choice from one of Saddam’s cast-off mistresses. Married, Samira became Saddam’s favorite—though he took two more wives and scores of mistresses. The marriage was cemented by the birth of Ali. The child’s arrival deepened the hatred of Saddam’s elder sons, Uday and Qusay, toward Samira. On the day they died, the Mossad eavesdroppers heard Samira laugh for the first time. The Israelis knew that along the Iraqi border with Syria, a secret U.S. Special Forces intelligence unit was roaming up and down looking for Saddam. Israeli agents on the Syrian side of the border had heard radio chatter among the members of the unit—known as U.S. Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force 121— as they set about trying to track down Saddam. The force

was made up from Delta Force; the U.S. Rangers; Britain’s PHOTOS AFP/GETTY SAS and Special Boat Service; and the Australian SAS. “For political reasons, we had not been formally invited to join the party,” said a source close to Meir Dagan. Mossad—not for the first time—decided to keep to itself the information it was gleaning from the surveillance of Samira. But on Dec. 11 that changed.

If this is true, all Americans should be very frightened of your clients and the Justice Department.” Despite the protection of the Oklahoma attorney general, sufficient pressure was brought against Jordan to cause him to abandon his position. On Nov. 28, 2000, at the civil trial brought by Jesse Trentadue against the United States, Jordan was asked, “You didn’t find any evidence of beating or torture, did you?” He answered: “No, there is no evidence to substantiate beating or torture.” Despite Jordan’s changed testimony, the presiding federal judge in the Trentadue civil suit saw enough evidence that much was amiss to award the Trentadue family $1.1 million for suffering harassment and intentional infliction of emo- tional distress by the federal government. But as all evidence of homicide in the case was destroyed, whether intentionally or negligently, or withheld by the Justice Department, the charge of murder could not be proven. Whatever the deal with the Justice Department, appar- ently it only covered Jordan’s testimony in the Trentadue civil trial. Two years later on Dec. 11, 2002, under oath in a subsequent deposition in a libel case brought by an FBI agent against a magazine that covered the story, Jordan said: “Because of the extensive bruising of the body, the cut throat and the general appearance of the body, we felt that the death should be investigated as a homicide.” In answer to a question whether he was harassed by the federal government, Jordan answered: “I don’t think there’s any question I was harassed by the Department of Justice from the very beginning of this, the 21st of August, when we were denied access to do a job we’d been summoned to do. A believer in the system, Jesse Trentadue has not given up. He has brought a Freedom of Information Act suit against the Justice Department. Trentadue’s suit, rather than a rediscovery of integrity by the Justice Department, probably explains the recent CNN report that the Justice Department is reopening the case. By reopening a criminal investigation, Justice does not have to release the documents demanded by Trentadue’s civil suit. It has always been a puzzle why a man picked up on a parole violation would be murdered in his cell by federal agents. Recently, an explanation has turned up. Kenneth Trentadue might have been a victim of mistaken identity. Misidentified as the missing John Doe, Tim McVeigh’s alleged accomplice in the Oklahoma City bombing, Trentadue might have been beaten and tortured in an effort to obtain a confession. The autopsy report shows Trentadue with a highly elevated caffeine level, amounts certainly not available to a person held in isolation. High doses of caffeine are used to increase pain under tor- ture. In trying to find the truth, Jesse Trentadue is a brave man. In the last of a five-part series on the Trentadue case in the McCurtain Daily Gazette, J.D. Cash reports that FBI agents, desperate to silence the Trentadue family, have been conducting a criminal investigation into Jesse Trentadue for several years. Cash writes: “Contained in an internal FBI investigation report obtained by this newspaper, a FBI agent discusses legal strategies to use against one of their most vocal and effective critics: ‘by listing Jesse Trentadue as subject in another investigation, that would place him as a target of one of our investigations and this would also prohibit Jesse Trentadue from testifying before the federal grand jury.’” Law and order conservatives, who believe that the only wrong ever done by the criminal justice system is to under- Top: Trentadue with his parents.

Commentary Correspondent Asks: Is AFP Really Too Hard on President Bush? American Free Press has often been under fire for daring to criti- cize the president. One of our cor- respondents wants to know why.

EXCLUSIVE TO AMERICAN FREE PRESS By Michael Collins Piper

FP was launched just a few weeks prior to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the official “war on terrorism” that was declared in the days that followed. As such,A almost all of AFP’s entire existence has been during “wartime.” And during that period, AFP has come under heavy fire itself from a number of subscribers— presumably supporters of AFP’s populist and nationalist point of view—who have objected to criticisms of the policies and actions of President George W. Bush. Why? If we are to accept the theory that we should never criticize the president during wartime, then AFP might as well fold up its tent and give up the fight. Bush and his advisors have warned us that the “war on terrorism” could last a generation, well beyond the lifetimes of many Americans alive today. How many AFP readers really believe that because America is engaged in the “war on terror- and imagery coming from ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, desired during the Clinton years, but the so-called ism” that AFP should temper its criticisms of the Fox, The Washington Post, The New York Times, “Patriot” Act and other recent schemes can’t be president? Newsweek, Time, and U.S. News & World Report, blamed on either Clinton or Reno. Not that many, one would hope. However, there along with The New Republic and The Weekly However, these schemes can be blamed on Bush are quite a few readers who think that “criticizing Standard and Human Events—all heavy-handed and Ashcroft, because that is precisely who is the president during wartime is wrong.” voices for war and internationalism and for the responsible for these assaults against the THEN AGAIN . . . cause of the pro-Israel lobby in America.
