"The Central Intelligence Agency has been authorised to take covert action against Hizbollah as part of a secret plan by President George W. Bush to help the Lebanese government prevent the spread of Iranian influence. Senators and congressmen have been briefed on the classified "non-lethal presidential finding" that allows the CIA to provide financial and logistical support to the prime minister, Fouad Siniora." (thanks Lisette)
PS My sources tell me that Prince Bandar gave the story to the Telegraph. Other sources tell me that Prince Turki has quietly returned to DC. Yet other sources, tell me that I am out of blueberries.
You have to read the official response that was issued by Fu'ad Sanyurah to this story. Also, when you read a news item like this one, you should understand better why many Arabs are drawn to conspiracy theories--because there are conspiracies.
