REPORT: SCOOTER LIBBY WAS INTELLIGENCE AGENT FOR ISRAEL
WAYNE MADSEN, OPED NEWS - I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby has been a
long-serving intelligence agent for Israel's Mossad, according to a
veteran CIA "official cover" officer who spoke to WMR on deep
background. The CIA's Clandestine Service has, over the years, gathered
a tremendous amount of intelligence on Libby's activities on behalf of
Mossad.
Libby served as the lawyer for Switzerland-based American fugitive
financier Marc Rich, aka Mark David Reich, who is also known to be an
Israeli intelligence asset and someone Israel relies upon for missions
that demand "plausible deniability" on the part of the Mossad. . .
In 1983, the then-U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York
urged jail time for Rich and his partner Pincus Green for racketeering.
The name of that U.S. Attorney is Rudolph Giuliani. Giuliani, who is now
running for president, praised Bush's decision to commute Libby's jail
sentence. After Clinton's pardon of Rich, Giuliani said he was
"shocked." Paul Klebnikov, the Moscow editor for Forbes' Russian
edition, wrote about the connections of Rich to Russian gangsters like
Boris Berezovsky, a business partner of Neil Bush, in his book
"Godfather of the Kremlin." Klebnikov was shot to death gangland-style
on a Moscow street on July 9, 2004. . .
Libby arranged for Rich's eleventh hour pardon by outgoing President
Bill Clinton in January 2001. The pardon of Rich was urged in a phone
call to Clinton by then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, as well as
Shimon Peres and Ehud Olmert.
