According to a stunning report posted by a
retired Navy Lt. Commander and 28-year veteran of the Defense Department,
the Bush administration's assurance about finding weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq was based on a CIA plan to "plant" WMDs inside
the country. Nelda Rogers, the Pentagon whistleblower, claims the plan
failed when the secret mission was mistakenly taken out by "friendly
fire." http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2003/06/266752.shtml
A DoD whistleblower details an attempt by a
covert US team to plant weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The team was
later killed by friendly fire due to CIA incompetence. In a world exclusive,
Al Martin Raw.com [http://www.almartinraw.com/] has published a news story
about a Department of Defense whistleblower who has revealed that a US
covert-operations team had planted "Weapons of Mass Destruction" (WMDs)
in Iraq, then "lost" them when the team was killed by so-called
"friendly fire."
The Pentagon whistleblower, Nelda Rogers, is a 28-year veteran debriefer for
the Defense Department. She has become so concerned for her safety that she
decided to tell the story about this latest CIA-military fiasco in Iraq.
According to Al Martin Raw.com, "Ms. Rogers is number two in the chain
of command within this DoD special intelligence office. This is a ten-person
debriefing unit within the central debriefing office for the Department of
Defense."
The information that is being leaked out is information "obtained while
she was in Germany heading up the debriefing of returning service personnel,
involved in intelligence work in Iraq for the Department of Defense and/or
the Central Intelligence Agency. "According to Ms. Rogers, there was a
covert military operation that took place both preceding and during the
hostilities in Iraq," reports Al Martin Raw.com, an online
subscriber-based news/analysis service which provides "Political,
Economic and Financial Intelligence."
Al Martin is a retired Lt. Commander (US Navy), the author of a memoir
called "The Conspirators: Secrets of an Iran-Contra Insider, " and
he is considered one of America's foremost experts on corporate and
government fraud. Ms. Rogers reports that this particular covert operation
team was manned by ex-military personnel and that "the unit was paid
through the Department of Agriculture in order to hide it, which is also
very commonplace."
According to Al Martin Raw.com, "the Ag Department has often been used
as a paymaster on behalf of the CIA, DIA, and NSA and others." Accordng
to the Al Martin Raw.com story, another aspect of Ms. Rogers' report
concerns a covert operation which was to locate the assets of Saddam Hussein
and his family, including cash, gold bullion, jewelry and assorted valuable
antiquities.
The problem became evident when "the operation in Iraq involved 100
people, all of whom apparently are now dead, having succumbed to so-called
`friendly fire.' The scope of this operation included the penetration of the
Central Bank of Iraq, other large commercial banks in Baghdad, the Iraqi
National Museum and certain presidential palaces where monies and bullion
were secreted."
"They identified about $2 billion of cash in US dollars, another $150
million in Euros, in physical banknotes, and about another $100 million in
sundry foreign currencies ranging from Yen to British Pounds," reports
Al Martin.
"These people died, mostly in the same place in Baghdad, supposedly
from a stray cruise missile or a combination of missiles and bombs that went
astray," Martin continues. "There were supposedly 76 who died
there and the other 24 died through a variety of 'friendly fire,' 'mistaken
identity,' and some of them---their whereabouts are simply unknown."
Ms. Rogers' story sounds like an updated 21st-Century version of Treasure
Island meets Ali Baba and the Bush Cabal Thieves, writes Martin.
"This was a contingent of CIA/ DoD operatives, but it was really the
CIA that bungled it," Ms. Rogers said. "They were relying on the
CIA's ability to organize an effort to seize these assets and to be able to
extract these assets because the CIA claimed it had resources on the ground
within the Iraqi army and the Iraqi government who had been paid. That
turned out to be completely bogus. As usual."
"CIA people were supposed to be handling it," Martin continues.
"They had a special `black (unmarked) aircraft to fly it out. But none
of that happened because the regular US Army showed up, stumbled onto it and
everyone involved had to scramble.
These new Iraqi "Asset Seizures" go directly to the New US Ruling
Junta. The US Viceroy in Iraq Paul Bremer is reportedly drinking Saddam
Hussein's $2000 a bottle Napoleon-era brandy, smoking his expensive Davidoff
cigars and he has even furnished his Baghdad office with Saddam's
Napoleon-era antique furniture.
The Iraq Debacle Du Jour has evidently been extensively documented by the
DIA debriefing teams with "extensive tape recordings of interviews with
the Iraqi returnees, the covert operatives (as well as their
affidavits)." Al Martin Raw.com has dubbed this "Operation Skim
Iraq."
