Iraq
Engineering pretext for the war
Weapons of mass destruction
Claims that Saddam was hiding weapons of mass destruction originated from reports by a think tank called PNAC, who had been writing reports arguing for war with Iraq and Afghanistan as far back as the 90s, in papers like how to attack Iraq, The Afghan vortex (2000), and Saddam's impending victory, (1998) by Robert Kagen. The paper refers to Saddam's palaces as the "so called palaces," insinuating hidden weapons of mass destruction. The same people in PNAC worked for an Israeli group called ISPS, authoring a paper called the Israeli Clean Break, describing how Israel would benefit from an American war in the middle east. These papers were authored by Richard Perle, future chairman of the defense policy board in the Department of Defense.
The office of special interests, comprising of PNAC members, which communicated with Israeli generals
Doug Feith, working under richard perle of the Clean Break Papers, ran a secretive special office in the department of defense called the Office of Special Plans, comprising of PNAC members, and larry franklin, who would pass classified intelligence to AIPAC. This office included Israeli generals, and there is reason to believe that it had a mirror group in Israel's Knesset. Lt. col Karen Kwiatkowski explains in an article how military officers opinions were dismissed or even punished by the civilian cabal brought in by the American enterprise institute, the parent group of PNAC. She also mentions that she was directed to go down to the call entrance to pick up some six Israeli generals, while post 911 rules required one escort for every three visitors. "The leader of the pack surged ahead his colleges in close formation, leaving us to double time behind the group as they sped to the undersecretary Feith's office on the fourth floor." She notes that the generals knew where they were going, where most foreign visitors to the Pentagon don't, and that the generals didn't have to sign in. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/open-door-policy/
Feith resigned after he was investigated by the senate foreign relations committee and the FBI because information on Iran's nuclear program was leaked to the government through his office.
Claims of Weapons of Mass destruction from PNAC members in the state department reaching the press
On Dec 20th 2001, Judith Miller, the girlfriend of Mossad Lawyer scooter Libby, stated in the New York Times that she heard about secret weapons of mass destruction labs hidden underneath the palaces of Saddam, siting Paul Wolfowitz and richard perle, and Israeli intelligence. She added that Syria was involved with it, sourcing Wolfowitz, perle and Israel. https://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/20/world/nation-challenged-secret-sites-iraqi-tells-renovations-sites-for-chemical.html
In a 2003 New York times article Judith Miller made reference to a speech in which Paul Wolfowitz, deputy secretary of defense, claimed that defectors from Iraq had told the US government about construction of "mobile unit to produce biological weapons". She also claimed that intelligence officials told her that a defector had told them that chemical and biological weapons laboratories were hidden beneath hospitals and inside presidential palaces. https://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/11/world/aftereffects-hunt-for-evidence-trailer-mobile-lab-capable-turning-bioweapons.html
Claim that Saddam bought yellow cake uranium from Niger
Karl Rove's full time foreign policy advisor, michael ledeen procured forged documents designed to depict an attempt made by Saddam Hussein in Iraq to purchase yellowcake uranium powder from Niger during the Iraq disarmament crisis. These forgers were so sloppy that they didn't even fake the right name on the documents, and ignorantly used the name of a former foreign minister, who had not been in power for more than a decade. michael ledeen organized a meeting in Rome to gather evidence to support the planned war. Present at the meeting was Pentagon analyst larry franklin, who was later prosecuted for giving classified information to AIPC.
Claims of Muhammad Atta meeting with Iraqi agent
In 2001 PNAC's Gary Schmidt lies in the Weekly Standard, a publication cofounded by Bill Kristol, the same founder of PNAC, about 9/11 hijacker Muhammad Atta meeting with Iraqi intelligence. This was repeated by William Safire of the New York times on may 9th of 2002. In dec 28 2001 richard perle reiterated the lie in a New York times op ed. Paul Wolfowitz reiterated it in the San Francisco chronical in Feb 23rd 2002.
Paul Wolfowitz made a statement before the US house of national security committee which called for a war with Iraq based on such claims.
False claims from Israeli
Claims of Muhammad atta meeting with Iraqi agent *for anthrax - The London times reported that Muhammad Atta was seen being handed a vacuum flask of Anthrax by his supposed Iraqi contact. Their sources were Israeli intelligence, via James Woolsey, former director of the CIA. The first story to talk about it was the New York Observer, owned by Charles Kushner. James Woolsey then passed it to Gary Schmidt of PNAC, who then published it in the weekly standard, founded by PNAC cofounder William Kristol. It was passed to the white house by Doug Feith.
Claim by Israel that Saddam was transferring possible WOMD - Former deputy commander of the Israeli military’s planning division, Brom wrote in an analysis for Tel Aviv University’s Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies. Israeli intelligence services and political leaders provided “an exaggerated assessment of Iraqi capabilities,” raising “the possibility that the intelligence picture was manipulated,” wrote Brom, a former deputy commander of the Israeli military’s planning division. The analysis said that when “Israeli intelligence became aware that certain items had been transferred by the head of the regime from Iraq to Syria, Israeli intelligence immediately portrayed it . . . as if Iraq was moving weapons of mass destruction out of Iraq in order to conceal them.” The report faulted intelligence officials for discounting the more likely scenario that Hussein and his aides were moving cash or family members out of the country in anticipation of the attack.
Other claims by Judith Miller in the New York Times
Judith Miller was a girlfriend of a lawyer for the Mossad scooter Libby. Lewis Libby wrote a book, called the Apprentice, about underaged Japanese girls getting Rd by a bear. He was also a lawyer for Marc Rich. he was defended by jewish billionaire mel simbler who raised the lewis libby defence fund. mel simblar used his position in italy to stove pipe bogus intel about niger forgeries directly to washington which circumvented the natural channels for that. Miller was also a journalist who got a hoax letter of anthrax, which is interesting because the postmark on these letters which had identical notes as the real anthrax letter, were sent before there was reporting about them, as they'd not been received yet. so why would fox news and Judith Miller be sent pretend attacks and yet real anthrax was sent to others who opposed the patriot act and the war.
Saddam has Aluminum tubes which are really missiles - Judith Miller of the New York times made up the lie about Iraq's aluminum tubes allegedly being used as Centrifuges in a nuclear reactor, despite the fact that it wouldn't physically work if it was true.
Saddam has mobile weapons labs that have biological chemical weapons like anthrax and vs nerve gas - Judith Miller of the New York Times spread a story saying that Saddam had hidden weapons under his palaces, or in mobile trucks. The trucks which were sold to Iraq from the UK were for hot air balloons. This was debunked by British scientist called David Kelly. His last correspondence was with Judith Miller
Who benefitted
Destabilization of the area - The clean break papers, commissioned by richard perle, were a policy paper describing how Israel would benefit from the Iraq War, through destabilization of the region. They were addressed by richard perle to Benjamin netanyahu. David Wurmser and Doug Feith were signatories to the paper. This was also detailed in A Strategy for Israel, (Yinon Plan) by Israeli general mAriel Sharon advisor Oded Yinon.
Oil - Regime change allowed the Kirkuk to Haifa pipeline from Iraq to Israel to be reopened from when it was closed in 1948 after the founding of Israel. It also eliminated the 25% premium Israel was paying for oil from Iraq. Doug Feith's law partner, Marc Zell, explains in a in interview that Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister, Ahmed Chalabi promised to reopen the Kirkuk to Haifa pipeline and enable a huge amount of business between Iraq and Israel. While Benjamin netanyahu was Israel's finance minister in 2003, he went to London find investors willing to invest in the expansion of the Kirkuk to Haifa pipeline. Oil exports from Iraq to US before and after was, didn't change, but Israel got 77% of its oil from Iraq after the invasion.

My oil. War profiteers can make money off any war, so why specifically attack Iraq? Some will say it was for oil. The problem with that is it is ignoring many facts. It fits the trite worldview of, it's like the corporations, man. But it doesn't fit the specific evidence. It wasn't ExxonMobil creating myths about Niger. That was Zionist neocons. It wasn't Chevron Texaco saying Iraq got anthrax from 9-11 hijackers. It was Israeli security forces. It wasn't BP meeting with Israeli generals to discuss the war. It was the OSP. It wasn't Big Oil screaming about weapons of mass destruction. It was PNAC. Iraq was a threat to Israel, not America. Each pre-war lie was a PNAC talking point going as far back as the 90s. PNAC's script for war was verbatim what was used by the administration to usher in a war with a rock. PNAC was a think tank comprised of Zionists with prominent positions in the media and government. They published a large work of lies. But because of the Pentagon press relationship, their deceptions got to be front and center on all of the news networks. And with a cloud of 9-11 being used as an emotional club to beat down dissenting voices, they got their way. This was a war for and by Israeli interest. The rationales for the war would flip-flop several times, with each pre-invasion lie having its root in the PNAC cabal. An Israeli group IASPS authored a paper in 1996 called A Clean Break, A New Strategy for Securing the Realm, written by Richard Perle, which proposed overthrowing Saddam in Iraq and then turning on Syria. The paper echoes Oded Yanan's plan, written in 1982. Only by 1996, Iraq had been softened up by a long war with Iran and then the first Gulf War with the U.S. This was all prior to 9-11 and long before the Saddam is working with Islam bin Laden rationale. Of course we're after Saddam Hussein. I mean, bin Laden. He's isolated. You know, again, I don't know where he is. I, uh... I repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him. So we've never made the case or argued the case that somehow Osama bin Laden was directly involved in 9-11. That evidence has never been forthcoming. Pakistan's on our side. Afghanistan is half and half. But right on that border is Osama bin Laden, most likely. And he's probably in Pakistan. Some have expressed the notion that Saddam was attacked suddenly for threatening to attack the petrodollar monopoly. Saddam was not pricing his oil in euros, and the Europeans attacked him too. The first Gulf War was years before the euro or the EU existed, and the US already had the oil. Iraq was placed on the misnamed oil for food program. which created life-support-style conditions of starvations created by U.S. sanctions. ''We have heard that a half a million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And You know, is the price worth it? I think this is a very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it.'' Oil for not enough food would have been more accurate. The calls to attack Iraq lasted through three presidents, and all three did it, too. Before that, Iraq was at war with Iran, who Israel supported. U.S. Iraqi oil imports didn't change before and after the war, and Israel had once bombed Iraq's alleged reactor themselves. Iraq was a threat to Israel. Saddam shot scuds at Israel and Saudi Arabia. He knew the actual axis of evil. and Israeli firsters tried to manipulate President Clinton into war as well. Clinton finally did attack Iraq as well as Afghanistan and Sudan during his impeachment proceedings over him sleeping with a Jewish intern and then lying about it.
Do you really think she saved a cum-stained blue dress as a souvenir? Me neither. This warmongering also helped rather than hurt his chances of getting off the hook. Congressman Ron Paul saw it differently than the neocons, and he said back in 1998: ''I have a prepared statement for tomorrow, and... In that statement, I talk about a much more serious act that the president committed than anything that we've generally talked about. And that was the illegal bombing of Sudan and Afghanistan. $200 million were spent for that without congressional approval. Not only is it annoying, I think it's illegal, I think it's unconstitutional, I think it's an act of war. And I think it's much worse than anything that we have considered under the impeachment. There's been a lot of talk about the Constitution in the last several weeks, the last several months. A lot of people holding up the Constitution. But I'd like them to read the Constitution, everybody here in this Congress, to read the Constitution about committing acts of war. This to me is an outrage and we shouldn't be participating in it. We should not permit our president to do this. There's no threat. We're going to do more harm by doing this. If Congress were given an opportunity to vote on whether we should bomb Iraq, would you go along with that as long as it went through the procedures? No, I would strongly oppose it because they're not a threat to our national security. Iraq has a third rate army. They have no ability to wage war. Our policies are deliberately destroying the country. They can't feed their children. They're not allowed to have medication.
There was a story in today's paper where one of our private charity groups was being fined because they were trying to get medicines into the Iraqi people. So for us to unleash bombs on Iraq at this particular time to kill more innocent people for narrow political reasons, no, there is absolutely no need To cause more bombing because of a very overall flawed foreign policy. How are you going to vote on impeachment? I'll vote for impeachment. For all four articles? Yes, unenthusiastically because I think the charges are way too mild and not touching the issues that I would like to touch. I mean, that's what we should be addressing.
But I wish the Congress would address the unconstitutionality of presidents waging war. That to me is a lot more serious than Monica Lewinsky, let me tell you. It has nothing to do with national security. Matter of fact, our national security is more jeopardized by permitting this to happen. because we're liable to start a war.
We're liable to have our military men killed. We're liable to have more attacks on us by terrorists.'' Hours after the verdict cleared Clinton, he ended the bombings, but the neocons did not end their push for war. Under Bush the Lesser, PNAC produced a litany of papers which would have his propaganda amplified by mass media. Naturally, Bush started two wars over erroneous connections to 9-11.
The only nation to benefit from Iraqi oil after the second war was Israel. Over three-fourths of their oil imports came from the Kurdish annexed portion of Iraq. Suffice it to say, it is crystal clear who drove the US to war in Iraq and later Syria, Libya, and then Iran. The other popular sidestep to Israeli accountability is replacing big oil with big defense industry. This is a post-hoc fallacy. Weapons sales always increase as a result of any war, but it is an unrelated consequence as to why the war began. We do not go back to say the U.S. Civil War and say, well, bullet manufacturers made a killing selling to both sides, thus they must have caused the war. Bullet factories, although they benefited, had nothing to do with why there was a civil war. Likewise, even though they benefit and support wars, the MIC did not create the wars with all of Israel's enemies. Israel did. We don't have to guess at it. We don't have to look at generalities when we have the specifics down to the names and papers. PNAC was absolutely central into deceiving the U.S. into war. And of the original 25 signatories of PNAC, 14 of them were given positions in the Bush administration.
Two of PNAC's signatories, John Lehman and Fred Fielding, were on the 9-11 commission. And that commission was not about an honest investigation. It was about damage control.
13 days prior to 9-11, PNAC published a paper claiming that Osama bin Laden had sleeper cells ready to strike America. For bin Laden's sleepers, agents already outside of Afghanistan awaiting the right moment to strike an American target, the situation was probably a little better. And it continued... In any case, in Middle Eastern eyes, the Butcher of Baghdad, meaning Saddam, has checked, if not checkmated, the United States. Only against this backdrop can we properly assess the threat Bin Laden poses. In short, Bin Laden is a threat because he is emboldened by Saddam Hussein existing and not motivated at all by the U.S.-Israeli aggression in the region, as he said himself. The paper goes on to complain. The Bush administration put forth the odd, very secular notion that Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza, comprising less than 2% of the land, have provoked Palestinian young men to blow themselves to bits. The Israeli land is land they took by force that is being asked to be returned. Settlements control 40% of the land in the West Bank, not less than 2%, and currently all of Gaza has been flattened in a genocidal campaign. Karl Rove once professed it didn't matter what reality was because they can make reality. And that is exactly what they did when they rephrased as message force multipliers an old tactic borrowed from World War II propaganda about repeating a lie enough times until the most prejudiced or insecure among the population start to believe it. If they can get five or six people to repeat the same lie in different places in the press, regardless of how lacking in evidence the claims are, it will create the perception that everybody is saying X, so X must be true. This limbing effect works particularly well with scare tactics, and it is used over and over by mass media as a form of deception or distraction. Here's who all kept repeating the Iraqis with Al-Qaeda lie, as well as compounding lie that they merged with it, about anthrax. Once again, not a shred of evidence to back any of this up. It was pure scare tactics. The same as Iran is about to build a nuclear bomb propaganda. Intelligence relating to the Iraq-Al Qaeda relationship was manipulated by high-ranking officials in the Department of Defense to support the administration's decision to invade Iraq when the intelligence assessments of the professional analysts of the intelligence community did not provide the desired compelling case. These mantra slides were told by embedded Zionist journalists who worked with the administration's PNAC members. For example, that the lead hijacker of 9-11, Muhammad Atta, met with agents of Saddam was repeated by William Sapphire in the New York Times, May 9, 2002, which came previously from PNAC's Gary Schmidt, who wrote about it October 19, 2001, on PNAC's Weekly Standard. an outfit created by William Crystal and Robert Kagan. The story had been reported by Reuters September 18th, 2001, just a week after 9-11, and the same day as the first anthrax mailings. Wow, they knew about the lead hijacker as well as a meeting that never took place within seven days. They probably wanted to follow up sooner with the anthrax canard, assuming that the first letter would have been open in just a couple days, but the mail didn't work like that. Reminds me of the BBC report plagiarized from a college student in California. This Atta met with Iraqi intelligence lie was then repeated by Vice President Dick Cheney December 9th, 2001 on Meet the Press. He later denied it despite him being on tape saying it. You have said in the past that it was, quote, pretty well confirmed. No, I never said that. Okay. I never said that. Absolutely not. What I said was pretty well confirmed that he did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service. He also ignorantly called the Czech Republic Czechoslovakia. One would think that if he had a report from a country, they would at least know the proper name for that country. But he didn't. In Czechoslovakia last April. What's sad is Cheney is considered to be one of the smarter ones. And he is, for a neocon. The competition isn't fierce. Gary Schmidt, also of the neoconservative think tank PNAC, wrote, Shortly before getting on a plane to fly to New Jersey from Europe in 2000, Mohammed Atta, the lead hijacker of the first jet airliner to slam into the World Trade Center and, apparently, the lead conspirator in the attacks of September 11th, met with a senior Iraqi intelligence official. This was no chance encounter. Rather than take a flight from Germany where he had been living, Atta travelled to Prague almost certainly for the purpose of meeting there with Iraqi intelligence operative Ahmed Samir Ahani. This was a complete lie designed to connect Al-Qaeda to Iraq and thus Iraq to 9-11's attacks. It was false. And yet all the corporate news networks repeated it anyway because it would end up in the New York Times. Douglas Feith, working under the Zionist madman and Prince of Darkness Richard Perle, ran a special office in the Defense Department called the Office of Special Plans, or OSP. Oh, he was special, alright. The OSP had a mirror group in Israel, and they both worked with Israeli generals. Feith's special cabal did a lot worse than cherry-pick intelligence.
They flat-out fabricated it. Feith used his Pentagon office to produce alternative intelligence reports that link Saddam to al-Qaeda and pass them on to the White House. Some of it, like a report that 9-11 hijacker Mohammed Atta met with Iraqi intelligence in Prague, has been widely discredited. One of the reasons people were told we were going to war in Iraq was because an imminent attack with weapons of mass destruction was about to happen. I don't believe anybody in the US government said that. This is Donald Rumsfeld. Iraq poses a serious and mounting threat to our country. No terrorist state poses a greater or more immediate threat to the security of our people and the stability of the world than the regime of Saddam Hussein. The Iraqi regime is a threat to any American. There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt that he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us. What is the most dangerous route to think about now? Well, I think we have to worry about the use of biological and chemical weapons. Feist's office took PNAC's old lies as well as their new lies and presented them as fresh intelligence. These were not mistakes. They were deceptions. The deception that led to the war in Iraq deserves its own film. Architects for War will cover the lie machine that created the wars in Iraq and Syria. My older films, War is Always by Deception, The Empire Unmasked, and Syria, Israel's Invisible Hand, already address this. For time's sake, we are narrowing this down to the lies pertaining to 9-11 only. Just know, all of these same people lied about everything else. Of course, the Prince of Darkness, Richard Perle, was a message force multiplier. December 28, 2001, in an op-ed in the New York Times, Perle wrote, We must strike a rock. Evidence of a meeting in Prague between senior Iraqi intelligence agents and Mohammed Atta, the September 11th ringleader, is convincing. Perle is a diehard Zionist, was the chairman of the DOD's Defense Policy Board, was also an arms advisor, a lobbyist, and a spy for Israel. This is who wrote policy papers for a foreign head of state, Bibi Netanyahu. Paul Wolfowitz, also a diehard Israeli firster, was the deputy secretary of defense and later the head of the World Bank. He authored the Defense Planning Guidance for Bill Clinton or the Wolfowitz Doctrine that advocated unilateral preemptive military action. Also a PNAC troll, Wolfowitz added February 23rd, 2002 in the San Francisco Chronicle. Like the meeting of Mohammed Atta with Iraqi officials in Prague, I think the premise of a policy has to be we can't afford to wait for proof beyond reasonable doubt. It was all lies. And yet, with all the neocon fanfare, they just couldn't get their wars the way they wanted until after 9-11. After that, they associated those lies to the original lies, and finally, they could go forward with their dreams of bloody empire. I think the president made the right decision given what he knew. Doug Feith, of all the neocons, was probably the dumbest person in the bunch, which is saying a lot. 200 Israeli spies were busted in the largest spying ever conducted on U.S. soil months after 9-11. Israel was caught again, spying on the United States through Defense Department employee Larry Franklin, who worked at a fight's office, which met with Israeli generals who could just waltz into the Pentagon without signing in or being escorted. Vice Office was passing classified information to Israel through American Israeli Public Affairs Committee or APAC employees such as Keith Wiseman and Steve J. Rosen. The conduit serial liar was Lawrence A. Franklin. Franklin, who was initially sentenced to 12 years in jail for passing U.S. secrets to APAC, was also involved in the Niger forgeries fiasco, a bit of nuclear weapons propaganda which fit nicely with Judith Miller's Tubes myth. but his sentence for passing state secrets to AIPAC was reduced to just 10 months house arrest along with 100 hours of community service after the case against AIPAC officials was dropped. The judge ruled that spying itself on the US isn't wrong if it's by a friend. Fife is his profiteer whose company, Fife and Zell, is partnered with an Israeli settler, Mark Zell, the law firm which got to delegate construction contracts in Iraq. Feith and Perle also set up something called IAI, International Advisors Incorporated, in Turkey to act like a miniature American-Turkish council, ATC, in that it was a very clever way to divert money to pro-Israeli groups. During the six years that Feith and IAI were registered as foreign agents for the government of Turkey, Fyth and a number of individuals serving as staff and receiving payments from IAI were making tens of thousands of dollars in contributions to both pro-Israeli PACs and to pro-Israeli senators and congressmen. Fife was the sole shareholder and paid himself $60,000 a year. Later, neocons involved in the ATC were fingered in illegal arms trades that included nuclear secrets. Sibel Edmonds, a translator for the FBI who became a whistleblower, had the state secrets privilege enacted on her as a gag order. Every step has been taken to silence investigation, information, and legal action into these crimes. It's odd how the U.S. wrongly pointed its finger at Iraq and even Iran, accusing them of building nuclear weapons. And yet the real criminals trading nuclear secrets and possibly nuclear material were right there in the U.S. government. U.S. Under Secretary of State and former ambassador to Turkey, Mark Grossman, is implicated in just such a crime. And even though he was caught red-handed in these dealings with the Turks and the Israelis, nothing could be done about it, because the whistleblowers were gagged. To quote an old write-up from Justin Raimondo, one of the best muck-wrickers out there, Immediately after 9-11, the FBI arrested a bunch of people suspected of being involved with the attacks. including four associates of key targets of the FBI counterintelligence operations. So Bell heard the targets tell Mark Grossman, we need to get them out of the U.S. because we can't afford them to spill the beans. Grossman duly facilitated their release from jail, and the suspects immediately left the country without further investigation or interrogation. The number three guy at the State Department facilitated the immediate release of 9-11 suspects at the request of targets of an FBI investigation. He is sourcing the Sunday Times the same paper that Mordecai Venunu turned to to break the story about Israel's secret nuclear arsenal. Unfortunately, Venunu landed in jail for that. He was captured by Mossad thanks to their informant, Robert Maxwell, the father of convicted pedophile and human trafficker, Glenn Maxwell, co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein. It would be Mark Grossman who warned his associates to stay away from Brewster Jennings, a front for the CIA, particularly the wing in which Valerie Plame was working for, which worked on tracking nuclear weapons proliferation. This became public knowledge when Robert Novak and Louis Libby told the world to stay away from Brewster Jennings and associates by ousting Valerie Plame as a covert agent. By outing Plame, it was easy to deduce that the company she worked for must have been a front, and thus all of the CIA agents working for them were exposed. They're pointing the finger at Iraq and Iran, but we know which country in the Middle East secretly has nukes. Sibel Edmond made valid complaints about a colleague who was leaking information illegally. Sibel gets gagged, then released from her position, but the woman she complained about turned out to be the daughter of an official who worked for the general Mahmoud Ahmad, the same man who had $100,000 wired to Muhammad Atta, the lead hijacker of September 11th. And what happened to the other leakers? Well, Robert Novak would die. Tim Russert would die. Louis Libby would have a trial, be convicted, and then Bush just commuted his sentence. It's a little ironic that Louis Libby gets his sentence commuted by George Bush when Louis Libby was a lawyer for the Mossad agent Mark Rich who got a pardon from Bill Clinton for his role in Iran-Contra, illegal money laundering, and not paying his taxes. But this point needs to be reiterated. Why would the State Department official, Mark Grossman, get terrorist suspects out of jail and say we need to get them out of the US because we can't afford them to spill the beans? Spill the beans on what? And why would it matter if they were outside the U.S.? Well, once they're outside the U.S., they're outside FBI jurisdiction. They're in the CIA's jurisdiction. And the CIA, we know, withheld information about terror suspects from the FBI. They knew Al-Midhar and Al-Hazmi had been at an Al-Qaeda summit meeting in Malaysia and were living in the U.S. in San Diego and they refused to share that information with the FBI. But why? Sabelle's three-hour interview in a skiff facility for the 9-11 commission was heavily redacted and I'd say so much so that it made it useless. She may as well have been talking to the wall because none of this information was shared. They just wanted to know what she knew. Post 9-11, we got nothing but a series of pointless wars and a massive surveillance state. As Edward Snowden said, name one whistleblower from the intelligence community whose disclosures led to real change, overturning laws, ending policies, who didn't face retaliation as a result. The protections just aren't there. The sad reality of today's policies is... that going to the inspector general with evidence of truly serious wrongdoing is often a mistake. Going to the press involves serious risk, but at least you've got a chance. There have been whistleblowers less known than Snowden or Julian Assange, such as Thomas Drake of the NSA, other former NSA officials, William Binney, Kirk Wiebe, and Edward Loomis, or John Crane of the DOD, or Diane Roark, a former congressional staffer. In addition to warrantless searches, Drake blew the whistle on 9-11. Drake describes that the NSA had seven intercepted calls from an Al-Qaeda operative inside the United States to an Al-Qaeda safe house in Yemen. William Binney, a Veterans Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, said the coverage of the operations center in Yemen was cast iron,
and it had been since 1996. Worse, we learn the NSA had access to 221 calls made by Osama bin Laden's phone in Afghanistan. No action was taken, and the NSA did not share its information with other agencies. And there's no explanation given for that. As for Almidhar's calls, they simply lied and said they couldn't know who was calling from where. That's just not true. I want you to be really serious after everything you've seen in this film. Stop making excuses for them. This was not to hide embarrassment or incompetence. It was on purpose. There is absolutely no way they couldn't have known. They had the calls, they had the intercepts, they didn't act. Because preventing this act of terrorism was never the goal.
