UK Express: (Perle) Faces (FBI) Quiz Over Links to Israeli Spy

[DeepModem Mom]

I have a hard copy of this article, from a Brit tabloid newspaper source, but only a link to a headline and one sentence:

http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=3425187

I'll keep trying to find a link to the full story.


From the article:

(The article begins by saying that Richard Perle is expected to be questioned by the FBI this week about the Israeli spy story.)

***

The Sunday Express has learnt that some of the information allegedly passed on came from telephone calls made by a member of MI6 to Perle and two other senior members of the Bush administration -- Vice President Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz....

****

A senior Washington intelligence source told the Sunday Express yesterday: "The MI6 figure made those calls because he wanted MI6 information to dovetail with what the Washington neo-cons wanted Bush to hear."...

***

The allegation that Israel has been spying on its greatest ally threatens to expose how far planning for military action against Iran has advanced and the degree to which sources in the Pentagon are prepared to go to help Israel....

***

The spy, who is believed to have been personally briefed by Mossad chief Meir Dagan on the specific information required, is said to have passed the documents to Israel via the powerful Washington-based Jewish lobby AIPAC....


Again, the source is a British "tabloid" newspaper --

1. Bingo

Just get a list of PNAC members. Every one of them is going to be investigated before this is all over.

3. Hope springs eternal!

[calimary]

21. Truly. He's got a HUGE karmic debt to pay. So do all the rest of them.

The PNACers - what a loathesome bunch. They deserve whatever legal headaches, prosecutions, investigations, interrogations, betrayals, bankruptcies, ruination of reputation, desolation and jail time that they get. I hope they get back what they've given, or provoked. IN SPADES. I hope they learn what Hell-on-Earth is - before they die and arrive at the gates of the real thing, that is.

2. Perle is one evil bastard that I hope gets nailed on this....

among others.....But he reeks

[UpInArms]

8. lots of background

on Perle here:

[Swamp Rat]

4. Perle should be tried in an international criminal court after we get

through with him. They should interrogate him in Guantanamo.

[DoYouEverWonder]

5. Doesn't the Patriot Act

apply here. Arrest the SOB and ask questions later. Why should any of these scum get special treatment. It's not like he was taking pictures of tall buildings you know.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

6. Oh me oh my

someone has been interfering with our foreign policy.... influencing our misleaders decisions.... getting our boyz killed overseas for nothing... just how serious are these crimes against the U.S., and just what is going to be done about it?? Not another whitewash I hope....

[DeepModem Mom]

7. Adding from the article about the investigation --

"The FBI investigtion team is being supported by a special Pentagon unit under the control of John Shaw, a deputy director of defence. He is working closely with FBI director Robert Mueller."

ON EDIT: This John Shaw?

DoD Statement on Jack Shaw and the Iraq Telecommunications Contract

For several months there have been allegations in the press that activities of John A. Shaw, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for International Technology Security, were under investigation by the Inspector General of the Department of Defense (DoD IG). The allegations were examined by DoD IG criminal investigators in Baghdad and a criminal investigation was never opened.

Furthermore, attempts to discredit Shaw and his report on Iraqi telecommunications contracting matters were brought to the attention of the DoD IG and were accordingly referred to the FBI.

Shaw carried out his duties in the investigation of Iraqi telecommunications matters pursuant to the authorities spelled out in the Memorandum of Understanding between the DoD IG and the Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics. Shaw provided a copy of his report to the DOD IG and, at the request of the Coalition Provisional Authority, to the Iraqi National Communications and Media Commission.

Shaw is not now, nor has he ever been, under investigation by the DoD IG. Any questions concerning FBI activities should be addressed to the FBI.

11. Winds of Change:Troubled Waters Ahead For the Neo Cons

by
Wayne Madsen

The neo-con attack on Shaw was predictable considering their previous attacks on Ambassador Joe Wilson, his wife Valerie Plame, former U.S. Central Command chief General Anthony Zinni, former counter-terrorism coordinator Richard Clarke, former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, CIA counter-terrorism agent Michael Scheuer (the "anonymous" author of Imperial Hubris who has recently been gagged by the Bush administration), fired FBI translator Sibel Edmonds (who likely discovered a penetration by Israeli and other intelligence assets using the false flag of the Turkish American Council and who also has been gagged by the Bush administration), and all those who took on the global domination cabal. But Shaw showed incredible moxie. When he decided to investigate Pentagon Inspector General Reports that firms tied to Perle and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz were benefiting from windfall profit contracts in Iraq, Shaw decided to go to Iraq himself to find out what was going on. When Shaw was denied entry into Iraq by U.S. military officers (yes, a top level official of the Defense Department was denied access to Iraq by U.S. military personnel!), he decided to sneak into the country disguised as a Halliburton contractor. Using the cover of Cheney's old company to get the goods on Cheney's friends' illegal activities was yet another masterful stroke of genius by Shaw. But it also earned him the wrath of the neo-cons. They soon leaked a story to the Los Angeles Times claiming that Shaw actually snuck into Iraq to ensure that Qualcomm (on whose board sat a friend of Shaw's) was awarded a lucrative cell network contract.

But nothing could be further from the truth. Shaw, who worked for Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, represented the Old Guard Republican entity that in August 2003 set up shop in the Pentagon right under the noses of Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Feith to investigate the neo-con cabal and their illegal contract deals. The entity, known as the International Armament and Technology Trade Directorate, was soon shut down as a result of neo-con pressure. Not to be deterred, Shaw continued his investigation of the neo-cons. Although the neo-cons told the Los Angeles Times that the FBI was investigating Shaw, the reverse was the case: the FBI was investigating the neo-cons, particularly Perle and Wolfowitz, for fraudulent activities involving Iraqi contracts. And in worse news for the neo-cons: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was giving the Inspector General's and Shaw's investigations a "wink and a nod" of approval.

The financial stakes for the Pentagon are high - the Iraqi CPA's Inspector General recently revealed that over $1 billion of Iraqi money was missing from the audit books on Iraqi contracts. For Shaw and the FBI, it was a matter of what they suspected for many years - that Perle, Wolfowitz, and their comrades were running entities that ensured favorable treatment for Israeli activities - whether they were business opportunities in a U.S.-occupied Arab country or protecting Israeli spies operating within the U.S. defense and intelligence establishments.

Shaw certainly must have recalled how, during the Reagan administration, an Israeli spy named Jonathan Pollard was able to steal massive amounts of sensitive U.S. intelligence over a long period of time and hand it over to his Israeli control officer, a dangerous and deadly agent provocateur named Rafael "Rafi" Eitan. That had disastrous effects on U.S. intelligence operations throughout the world because some of the documents were handed by the Israelis to the Soviets in return for letting more Soviet Jews emigrate to Israel.

I appreciate the "Whoa!"

Thanks DeepModem Mom, IndianaGreen, emad aisat sana, Octafish

15. Not as lonely as the jail cell these BFEE traitors have waiting for them.

I've tagged this stuff on Harold Rhode, the BFEE version of Indiana Jones, to a couple of threads. A lot of the work is yours, seemslikeadream!

BTW: Rhode ties Ledeen and Ghorbanifar and Feith and Perle and all the traitors of Iran-Contra together to George Herbert Walker Bush, Poppy of the BFEE.

28. John Markham, a longtime leading member of the overtly Satanic cult

Other neo-cons outside of government, including Michael Ledeen, Richard Perle, Kenneth Timmerman and Laurie Mylroie, are equally hysterical, defending Chalabi, and even touting his work with the Iranians as being in the interests of the United States.

One particularly bizarre item surfaced, as this particular neo-con group scrambled to defend their longtime Iraqi asset. Following the raid on Chalabi's home and offices, two attorneys, John Markham and Colette Goodman, fired off an angry letter of protest to the Bush Administration. Goodman, with the international law firm of Shea and Gardner, is the official registered lobbyist for the INC, according to papers on file with the Department of Justice. A leading attorney at Shea and Gardner is R. James Woolsey, the Clinton era CIA Director, who, as a member of the Bush Administration's Defense Policy Board, has been one of the biggest promoters of the urban legend that Saddam Hussein was behind the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on Washington and New York.

Lawyer John Markham, a longtime leading member of the overtly Satanic cult known as the Process Church, was later a Justice Department attorney, responsible for railroad prosecutions of Lyndon LaRouche. Markham, at the Boston U.S. Attorney's office, was a leading protege of William Weld, the Boston Brahmin who ran the ``Get LaRouche'' drive, and was later defeated by John Kerry in a bid to enter the U.S. Senate.

- It Didn't Stop With Iran-Contra -

Beyond the latest falling out among neo-con thieves and the bizarre resurfacing of John Markham, lies a much deeper scandal: The Iran-Contra crimes of the 1980s never ended. The usual suspects--in Washington, in Israel and in Iran--just merely went underground, for much of the Clinton era, only to resurface, with a vengeance, under the Cheney-Bush regime.

14. IRAN STRIKE is October Surprise...spy case leak was a peek.

I firmly believe that the long-standing Israeli spy case investigation leak was intended to give the media and possible opponents a "heads-up" on what's coming in October -- US/Israel Strike on Iran Nuke Facility.

Just last week, U.S. planes invaded Iran airspace...clearly testing air defenses in advance of this coming strike.

[DeepModem Mom]

16. The article re. attacking Iranian nuclear facilities --

"Plans to attack Iranian nuclear facilities are being considered by Israel's hardline prime minister, Ariel Sharon, which would be a mirror of the 1981 raid on Iraq's nuclear installation. Perle, one of the architects of the war in Iraq and an advocate of a tough line on Iran, is also a long-time friend of the Israeli leader."

[seemslikeadream]

18. DeepModem Mom, AngryWhiteLiberal

This is it, isn't it? Pretty darn scarey. Good thing someone tried to stop it.

[AngryWhiteLiberal]

19. Yes, it is somewhat heartening to know that someone's on our side...

Thank heavens for decent people still willing to leak info in service to the greater good of our country.

22. Ledeen on the Run

'Faster, Please' Toward the Annihilation of Iran

We wouldn't hear news dispatches about "terrorist chatter" if
conversations weren't monitored, catalogued, and examined for problematic tropes.

Michael Ledeen is a dangerous animal, a laptop
bombardier, a thug with a hidden agenda and a
security clearance.

24. gee... what a surprise?

Dollars to donuts there is also a huge profit motive (for his consulting firms) in the mix with Perle.

[Octafish]

25. The War Party.

While Bush is a traitor to his nation, he is no traitor to his class.

The guy knows where the bucks come from and he's done all he could to put them in the pockets of his swell f(r)iends. These are the same turds who outted Valerie Plame, a CIA NOC working to stop the spread of WMDs, and how that compromised the national security. These are the same turds who trusted Ahmed Chalabi, an Iranian spy who fed what the neocons in the White House and Pentagon wanted to hear. These are the same turds who who outted Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan, the double-agent working inside Al Qaeda.

Seems obvious what side Bush and his people are on. War is what they do. War is all they know. To borrow a phrase, war puts food on THEIR families. These, the BFEE, are the War Party.
