Maybe now that the Iraqis know who's on what side, the civil war can begin in earnest...

John “Death Squad” Negroponte Nominated as DNI Kurt Nimmo February 17, 2005 It figures, in fact makes perfect sense: Iran-Contra criminal and death squad facilitator, John Negroponte, currently “ambassador” to occupied Iraq, will fill the new position of director of national intelligence. “The director’s responsibility is straightforward and demanding. John will make sure those whose duty it is to defend America have the information we need to make the right decisions,” said Bush upon announcing Negroponte’s appointment to the contrived post. “The newly created intelligence chief position will oversee 15 U.S. intelligence agencies and emerged as a central recommendation of the [Bush whitewash] commission that investigated the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks last year,” reports Reuters ( story.news.yahoo.com m/20050217/pl_nm/bush_intelligence_dc ). “The Director of National Intelligence (DNI) is the title of United States cabinet-level post that will split the post of Director of Central Intelligence into two separate positions: the DNI, which would coordinate all segments of the Intelligence Community and be the principal intelligence adviser to the president,” Wikipedia explains ( en.wikipedia.org nal_Intelligence ). In short, Bush has nominated a serial violator of human rights (in Honduras), a coordinator of the illegal war against the people of Nicaragua, and a confirmed liar as DNI. No doubt a perfect choice, considering how the Bushcons have “reformed” intelligence over the last few months, most notably by sending Porter Goss, the most partisan CIA director in history, to crack heads and purge “realists” at the spook agency. As we know, Cheney and the Strausscons, in the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq, leaned heavily on the CIA to adopt its fictional case for invasion, manufactured by the Office of Special Plans, a disinformation and deception factory installed in the Pentagon at the behest of Douglas Feith, a rabid Zionist, and the Strausscons. As soon as Negroponte is confirmed by the Senate—and this confirmation is all but a done deal—the entire “intelligence community” will become a sprawling Office of Special Plans. Over the next four years, the Bushian vision of intelligence—lies and half-truths devised as pretexts to invade “rogue nations,” i.e., the “axis of evil” roster—will dominate and Bush’s sadism, torture, and rape gulag will expand. Negroponte’s appointment as DNI dovetails perfectly with the Pentagon’s covert activity (minus accountability to Congress or the American people), as recently spelled out by Seymour Hersh and essentially confirmed by the Pentagon. Negroponte has the ideal curriculum vitae: organizing death squads, covering up human rights abuses, and facilitating illegal terror campaigns against sovereign nations, as he did with the Contras in Nicaragua.
