Busting the liars:
Karen Kwiatkowski

After two decades in the U.S. Air Force, Lieutenant Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski, now 43, knew her career as a regional analyst was coming to an end when — in the months leading up to the war in Iraq — she felt she was being “propagandized” by her own bosses.

With master’s degrees from Harvard in government and zoology and two books on Saharan Africa to her credit, she found herself transferred in the spring of 2002 to a post as a political/military desk officer at the Defense Department’s office for Near East South Asia (NESA), a policy arm of the Pentagon.

Kwiatkowski got there just as war fever was spreading, or being spread as she would later argue, through the halls of Washington. Indeed, shortly after her arrival, a piece of NESA was broken off, expanded and re-dubbed with the Orwellian name of the Office of Special Plans. The OSP’s task was, ostensibly, to help the Pentagon develop policy around the Iraq crisis.

9. I think timmy russert should interview her....

He and all of the other war mongering media whores. It is the least they could do to make ammends for this horrible war and occupation that they fully enabled. Well timmy?!?

[maggrwaggr]

16. no shit. 60 minutes should interview her. CONGRESS should interview her

She needs to be part of a live-on-tv inquisition as to why we changed the course of American history and invaded a country that was no threat to us, killing thousands in the process.

I want everybody to see what she has to say.

And I hope she doesn't fly in any small planes.

10. there have been MANY threads about her at DU, including

several postings of a three part article at Pat Buchanan's conservative magazine

check her archives.......many articles on neocons, DOD, OSP, Rumsfeld, Wolfiewitless, etc.

http://www.lewrockwell.com/kwiatkowski/kwiatkowski-arch.html

I heard her on thisishell.com, a show out of Northwestern U., last summer. she was very effective, and I'm amazed that she hasn't appeared ALL OVER the place since then, rather than the ZERO appearances she's chalked up

no I'm not......they'll just keep ignoring her, just as they ignore the Halliburton/Liberian bribe fiasco

[loudnclear]

17. She told you that the neocons were in complete control! What do you

expect? If we don't get this information out who will?

For months I tried to engage folks into looking at the info that was available on the Internet about the REAL reasons for our invasion of Iraq. She tell it all. Now put what she says together with Bush's latest alarming phrase that he slipped into during the press conference with the President of Tunisia: "the greater mid-east."

I also tried to warn all of you about Charles Kruthammer, one of the nastiest neocons around. If we don't start putting American intersts first before Israel's there will only be more of this to come.

And think about the poor patriotic slobs that actually have been brainwashed into believing that they are giving their lives for America and protecting the Constitution. Let's face it, the neocons have Bush by his balls as well as the Congress and the Courts.

Great article, btw. This gal ROCKS!

18. I wonder why?

When she said "in complete control" that is exactly what she meant.
