I am afraid that my instincts suggest to me we have a large number of home-grown moles in our intelligence apparatus - keep in mind the type of college education they were all subjected to.

If you disclose the information, you let the other side know what you have.
Maybe the past may come back to bite some?

Whatever Happened to Iraqgate?
Candidate Clinton vowed to get to the bottom of the Iraqgate scandal. Was it swept under the rug because of the CIA - - or Hillary?

The election of 2024, that is.
And half the translators they do have are probably... Nah, not going there. Yet.
That's my feeling. But why would he do that? Was he afraid of a future Nuremburg trial?
Oh---I thought this was gonna be about Saddam's notoriously bad recordings of "What Now My Love", and "Feelings".
Furor Erupts Over Recordings of Saddam
By ELI LAKE - Staff Reporter of the Sun
February 16, 2006

Mr. Loftus has promised that the recordings he will release to the public tomorrow will show that Saddam personally discussed a germ attack on Washington at some point after 2000. However, ABC News, which obtained the recordings from Mr. Loftus's source - a former U.N. weapons inspector, John Tierney, who was asked by the FBI in September 2005 to translate them - says otherwise.
ABC News reported that Saddam is quoted as saying, "Terrorism is coming. I told the Americans a long time before August 2 and told the British as well ... that in the future there will be terrorism with weapons of mass destruction."
The deposed Iraqi tyrant, however, added that Iraq would not authorize such an attack, but speculated that a chemical, nuclear, or biological attack could be launched from a boobytrapped car.

The quiet re-examination parallels efforts from the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Rep. Peter Hoekstra, a Republican of Michigan, who is in the early stages of his own review. He told the Sun last week that he checked the authenticity of Mr. Loftus's recordings with the intelligence community and confirmed that it was Saddam's voice on them.
Mr. Hoekstra has also been pestering the directorate of national intelligence to translate and make public what he claims are that may shed clues on the WMD front.
ping to self for later reading.
is as American as they come.
The accident is unfortunately a gift to those who would not want the current WMD truth to be questioned.
This really should have been on the "high priority" list.
Time will tell...maybe.
Help me out here. A while back I heard a guest being interviewed on a local talk show. I thought it was Loftus, but maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, this guy was stating that he had left the Republican party, that Bush and Alito were not pro-life. I thought he was associated with the Constitution Party but I've googled it and found no association.
I was trying to get the point of his interview. If he's with the Constitution Party, it's probably a tool to raise money.
His own son-in-law had already defected and told all he knew to the CIA. He was being extraordinarily cautious.
As a former Justice Department prosecutor, John Loftus once held some of the highest security clearances in the world, with special access to NATO Cosmic, CIA codeword, and Top Secret Nuclear files. As a private attorney, he works without charge to help hundreds of intelligence agents obtain lawful permission to declassify and publish the hidden secrets of our times. He is the author of four history books, three of which have been made into films, two were international best sellers, and one was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.
John's nightly comments on current events, "The Loftus Report" can be heard on ABC National Radio, the John Batchelor Show at 10:35 EST each weeknight. Internet access obtained through WABCRadio.com.
Thanks but this doesn't really answer my questions.
I don't know his particular political philosophy, but during the last presidential election, he was pretty critical of President Bush
