# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

a**Sudden breakthrough along Syrian-Israeli peace tracka**
On January 1, the independent Al-Rai al-Aam daily carried the following
report by its correspondent in Washington Hussein Abdul Hussein: a**What
is happening backstage and why did former envoy to the peace process
Dennis Ross visit Damascus last week and meet with senior officials? Will
Syria and Israel reach the signing of a peace agreement a**in the very
near future,a** as was stated by an American official? Al-Rai al-Aam has
learned from widely knowledgeable sources that the last few weeks
witnessed a**unprecedented Syrian cooperationa** at the level of the peace
process, which prompted Washington to open a secret back channel with the
Syrian officials in order to reach a comprehensive peace agreement between
Syria and Israel.
a**The sources added that Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem, who
established a relationship of friendship with Ross ever since he was his
countrya**s ambassador in Washington in the nineties, sent positive
signals to the Americans about two weeks ago saying: a**The Syrians are
willing to resume dialogue with the Israelis and reach peace.a** The
sources added that President Barack Obamaa**s administration, which was
facing problems in pushing forward the peace process between the
Palestinians and the Israelis, believed that peace between Syria and
Israel could a**achieve a breakthrough at the level of the peace process
as a whole, and could be used to reach peace in the Palestinian
territories.a**
a**The sources continued that at a time when no leaks came out regarding
the details of the negotiations between Ross and the Syrians, Ross
informed the administration he detected a**an unprecedented Syrian
willingness to distance itself from Iran, reduce relations with Hezbollah
and Hamas and cooperate with the United States in the fight against
terrorism.a** On the other hand, Israel expressed an a**absolute
willingness to restore the entirety of the Golan to the Syrians, reach an
agreement over water distribution and immediately start normalizing
relations.a** In regard to the Israeli side a** as Ross visited Tel Aviv
to get a green light for the launching of the talks upon a Syrian request
a** the American sources stated that Washington exerted massive pressures
on the Israelis to a**provide some concessions, either on the Palestinian
or on the Syrian-Lebanese tracks.a**
a**This prompted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a**to ask his Defense
Minister Ehud Barak a** the biggest supporter of peace with Syria a** to
follow up on this issue with Ross.a** The American sources continued that
Netanyahu believes that in case the negotiations reach a breakthrough, he
could adopt in public. However, if nothing new is reached, he could
distance himself from the entire process and blame Barak and the
Americans. It is worth mentioning that this a**surprising breakthrougha**
was the one that prompted the administration to include the name of
Ambassador Robert Ford in the decree issued by the White House last
Wednesday a** thus bypassing the Senate a** to dispatch Ford to Damascus
for a year, during which the administration hopes to reach peace between
Israel and Syria.
a**In conclusion, right-wing sides in the American capital considered that
the a**noose is closing around Irana**s neck on the economic level, which
forced (Syrian President Bashar) Al-Assad to throw himself off the ship of
his alliance with Tehran. Moreover, Al-Assad thinks that peace with Israel
will protect his regime from the repercussions of the international
tribunal for Lebanon, after Al-Assad realized, following his last trip to
Paris, that there was no way of stopping it.a** This, according to
American right-wing sides, means that a**Al-Assad a** as usual a** is not
serious about reaching peace with Israel and is using this card to exit
his current predicaments.a**a** - Al-Rai al-Aam, Kuwait
