Chalabi-gate: None Dare Call It Treason
Neocons behind bars? Sounds good to me….
by Justin Raimondo
The fallout from Chalabi-gate continues to rain down on the heads of the War Party, opening up the exciting prospect that some neocons might well wind up behind bars.

The charge? Espionage, as Sidney Blumenthal informs us:

"At a well-appointed conservative think tank in downtown Washington and across the Potomac River at the Pentagon, FBI agents have begun paying quiet calls on prominent neoconservatives, who are being interviewed in an investigation of potential espionage, according to intelligence sources. Who gave Ahmed Chalabi classified information about the plans of the U.S. government and military?"


Have they never heard of Office of Special Plans????

The spies who pushed for war

Julian Borger reports on the shadow rightwing intelligence network set up in Washington to second-guess the CIA and deliver a justification for toppling Saddam Hussein by force

Thursday July 17, 2003
The Guardian

As the CIA director, George Tenet, arrived at the Senate yesterday to give secret testimony on the Niger uranium affair, it was becoming increasingly clear in Washington that the scandal was only a small, well-documented symptom of a complete breakdown in US intelligence that helped steer America into war.

Or will this program be an attempt to take the heat off of the boy king... since the heat has been rather intense since Cindy Sheehan has taken up the challenge so to speak.

2. There's an entire dissection of this story on the home page......
My opinion? It's going to be an attempt to divert the attention from the bush administration to the various intelligence agencied, that they were given faulty intelligence, and "what's a poor pResident to do"? :shrug:
I smell a whitewash here, I hope I'm wrong, but CNN has a way of circumventing the truth to keep prying eyes from the real reasons for this debacle in which we're embroiled.

3. Looks more like the END of PNAC to me.......
Everyone knows who PNAC is now, but do they know how PNAC is really AEI..... And do they know the truth about the evil sons of perdition in the AEI?

More importantly, have they heard about the big one......A giant mafia terrorist organization who setup the Iraq wars and Iran wars, that spans the globe. Its one big story.....

4. Funny how it is always our soldiers who are trapsing across the
globe in search of "evildoers" and if there aren't enough evildoers, then we promptly supply some... or so it would seem.

Hey freeperlurkers... this is done in YOUR NAME.

SOA Graduate Commands Brigade Accused of
Massacre of Civilians in Colombia

On February 21-22, 2005, eight members of the San José de Apartadó Peace Community in Urabá, Colombia—including three young children—were brutally massacred. Witnesses identified the killers as members of the Colombian military, and peace community members saw the army’s 17th and 11th Brigades in the area around the time of the murders.

Among those killed was Luis Eduardo Guerra, an internationally recognized peace activist and a co-founder of the Peace Community. In November 2002, Luis travelled from Colombia to Fort Benning, Georgia to speak out against the School of the Americas at the annual Vigil to Close the SOA/ WHINSEC.

General Héctor Jaime Fandiño Rincón is the commander of the 17th Brigade of the Colombian army. Like Luis Eduardo, Fandiño Rincón also travelled to the School of the Americas -— not to speak out for justice and peace like Luis, but as a student. Fandiño Rincón is a graduate of the notorious School of the Americas.

5. This is a lie, the premise is wrong, they got exactly what was wanted.
Insisted on it, actually.
