CIA, USAF duped by con artist in al Jazeera TV scam?
A con artist convinced the CIA and other US agencies in 2003 that he could decode secret messages sent by al-Qaeda through al-Jazeera broadcasts, Playboy magazine reports.
Duped by claims that "barcodes" on al-Jazeera television contained targeting information for al-Qaeda attacks, former president George W Bush's administration raised the terror alert and cancelled several transatlantic flights in December 2003, the report says, citing former CIA officials.
The swindler at the centre of the scam was Dennis Montgomery, head of a small software company in Reno, Nevada. He persuaded the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Homeland Security his technology could decipher messages with flight numbers and longitudes and latitudes meant for al-Qaeda operatives.
With assistance from French intelligence, CIA officials eventually concluded there were no secret messages in al-Jazeera television broadcasts, the report, published in the magazine's latest edition, says. "A branch of the French intelligence services helped convince the Americans that the bar codes were fake," it said on Monday.
CIA and French officials asked another technology company to find or recreate codes from al-Jazeera transmissions and "found definitively that what Montgomery claimed was there was not", it said. But even after the CIA stopped cooperating with Montgomery, he succeeded in convincing other government agencies he had valuable code-breaking technology.
In January this year, he signed a $US3-million (about $A3.4 million) research contract with the US Air Force, Playboy said. "We were testing some of the software. We were just looking at it to see if there was anything there," Joseph Liberatore, an Air Force program manager, told the magazine.
Montgomery has faced a number of lawsuits and last year was charged with bouncing nine checks worth a total of $US1 million in Las Vegas.

Al-Jazeera for Obama
Al-Qaida's mouth piece goes for Obama. Men's News DailyColin Powell’s predicted and expected endorsement of Barack Obama was transformed into big news by the pro-Obama media. But Arab propaganda channel Al-Jazeera’s intervention in the U.S. presidential contest is also extremely significant. Al-Jazeera, a mouthpiece for enemies of the United States, aired a Moammar Gadhafi speech praising Obama and followed with a story depicting supporters of Sarah Palin as white racist Christians. The channel is subsidized by the oil-rich Sunni Muslim plutocracy/dictatorship in Qatar.
....
The Al-Jazeera “reporter” who did the hit piece on Palin was Casey Kaufmann, who surfaces in Federal Election Commission (FEC) records as a $500 contributor to the Obama-for-president campaign and is based in Doha, Qatar.
