Since the article is quoting Mark Hosenball, you’d better beware of what he has done in the past. He was thrown out of England in the late 1970’s or early 1980’s as a security threat. He worked with avowed Marxist, CIA turncoat (and DGI associate) Phillip Agee, to uncover American and British undercover intelligence agents, and probably were responsible for the death of at least one (perhaps Welch, CIA station chief in Greece).
Hosenball was associated with Agee’s “Covert Action Information Bulletin” (CAIB), and/or its’ precursor, the far-left, red-laden “Counterspy Magazine” of the Organizing Committee for the 5th Estate.
Google both of them to see who was involved in both publications/organizations. Norman Mailer helped form and fund OC5. The Communist Party legal front, the National Lawyers Guild was the key core of CAIB.
No one knows if Hosenball is legit or not, but he wrote for either TIME or Newsweek, along with Michael Isikoff, on intelligence issues.
Something doesn’t smell right!
Interesting info. Thanks. The Guardian is a Fabian Org and the WaPo is a well known Marxist Org and it was leaked to both. Perhaps the Guardian (they printed the story 20 mins after the WaPo) to ensure the story spread over there... The left is really pushing this story. And their indepth reporting on the IRS was suspicious - why protect the TP and pull apart Obama’s IRS so badly - were they reporting on it in order to place the NSA on the defense - the whole government stinks. THe IRS story got little coverage last year - why now at this specific time. Who leaked the party videotape? I just tuned into the IRS story in the past few days so missed a lot. Just some thoughts.
Perhaps not a big deal but this came to mind when I read the article - post #24:
