Steve, Re: Maybe Wolfowitz is a Moussad agent. Wolfowitz and Perle worked directly for Ariel Sharon in the 1990s. I believe they have dual citizenships and divided loyalties. I know for certain that their idea of what is in the "national interest" isn't even remotely in the interests of most Americans. Here's a very troubling article on the nature of "intelligence" being perverted by Wolfowitz to serve ideological agendas: guardian.co.uk The author makes it clear that Wolfowitz is a right wing extremist who is side-stepping both the CIA and Mossad, which have attempted to put a brake on his insane messianic vision of conquest and megalomania. Wolfowitz and Perle are among the most dangerous and anti-democratic men on the planet today. They need to be removed from the government, and in my opinion, they deserve long prison sentences as war criminals.

Spooked by the White House A CIA veteran says a growing faction of the U.S. intelligence community is furious over the way the administration corrupted the system -- and that the nation's security is at grave risk. July 18, 2003 \| Late last week the White House sought to close the books on the Iraq-Niger-uranium debacle, with President Bush officially pronouncing CIA director George Tenet responsible for the intelligence blunder. At the same time, the president reaffirmed his "absolute confidence" in Tenet and the rest of the agency. But according to a former CIA officer, the politicization of U.S. intelligence has devastated many in the field -- and dangerously weakened our country's security. "We're hearing from dozens of [intelligence] people. A lot of them are very demoralized," says Ray McGovern, a 27-year CIA veteran who worked as an agency analyst under seven presidents, from Kennedy to the first President Bush. "The cardinal sin in this business is to cook intelligence to the recipe of high policy," he says. McGovern is a member of the "steering group" of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, a group of retired spooks, some highly decorated, which has been speaking out for several months about a dangerous fundamental breakdown in the U.S. intelligence system -- a system, McGovern asserts, that must remain free of White House meddling if it is to play its vital role in protecting the nation's security. VIPS has published a series of articles and open letters to the White House; its latest letter to President Bush on Monday denounced the administration's "campaign of deceit" in driving the nation to war, and demanded Vice President Dick Cheney's immediate resignation in light of his central role -- particularly Cheney's allegedly deliberate use of the fraudulent Niger-uranium report to sell Congress on the war. The letter also called on Bush to appoint an independent committee to investigate the intelligence breakdown, and to allow U.N. weapons inspectors back into Iraq posthaste, for the sake of U.S. credibility.
