European intelligence experts dismiss the Bush "war on
terrorism" as deception and reveal the realpolitik behind the aggression against Afghanistan.

Berlin - In Germany, where war plans for Afghanistan were
already being discussed in July and where several of the "Arab hijackers"
lived and studied, intelligence experts say the terror attacks of
September 11 could not have been carried out without the support of a state secret service.

Eckehardt Werthebach, former president of Germany's domestic
intelligence service, Verfassungsschutz, told AFP that "the deathly
precision" and "the magnitude of planning" behind the attacks of
September 11 would have needed "years of planning."

Such a sophisticated operation, Werthebach said, would
require the "fixed frame" of a state intelligence organization,
something not found in a "loose group" of terrorists like the one
allegedly led by Mohammed Atta while he studied in Hamburg.
