Very interesting article by famous jewish investigator writer  Seymour  Hersh in New Yorker magazine;  it's seems that Bush/Elliot Abrams are really linked with Alqaeda terror funding in ME, the Efforts is to curb Iran and hezballah's influence  have involved the United States in "worsening Sunni-Shiite tensions".

Hersh stated: “We are simply in a situation where this president is really taking his notion of executive privilege to the absolute limit here, running covert operations, using money that was not authorized by Congress, supporting groups indirectly that are involved with the same people that did 9/11.”

I bet that Lebanon is just a specimen.
