Declassified documents detail run-up to Donald Rumsfeld's 1983 meeting with Saddam Hussein
Around the time of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, a photo of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein began circulating on the Web. Declassified documents recently obtained by INTELWIRE under the Freedom of Information Act reveal details of the discussion behind the handshake, how the meeting came to be, and the strength of U.S. support for Saddam Hussein under the Reagan Administration.

Investigation shut down shortly after Waco
'Interlocking' aimed to overthrow U.S. government
Undercover FBI agents posing as white supremacists gathered alarming intelligence  about the militia movement during the early 1990s, according to documents obtained by INTELWIRE.
But FBI headquarters abruptly terminated the undercover operation -- code-named PATCON -- just three months after the disastrous siege at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas.
PATCON was the centerpiece of an extensive investigation of militia and white supremacist groups in Arizona, Alabama, Tennessee and Texas. From 1991 to 1993, at least three undercover agents working under the auspices of the FBI posed as members of a fictional white supremacist group seeking closer ties with established organizations.

INTELWIRE EXCLUSIVE
Al Qaeda-linked militants have rolled out improved security software that provides military-grade encryption for terrorists communicating online. A copy of the software, Mujahideen Secrets 2, was obtained by INTELWIRE. It can be used to encrypt chat sessions, as well as e-mail, Web forum postings and electronic communications. The application can also easily be loaded on a USB stick, allowing militants to encrypt communications from otherwise insecure locations such as Internet cafes.

Legend has it that a team of assassins tried to kill Osama bin Laden in the Sudan in 1994. But a newly released State Department cable recasts that story as a cry for help gone wrong -- the outcome of a shouting match over Islamic ethics between a murderous Libyan militant and the man who is today the world's most-wanted terrorist leader.
