Sept. 11, 2006 In 1991, George H. W. Bush directed the CIA to create the conditions for the removal of Saddam Hussein from power. The CIA, in turn, handed the matter over to the Rendon Group, a Washington-based public relations firm that received millions of dollars in payments in the next few years. The Rendon Group created a body called the Iraqi National Congress, incorporating a variety of Iraqi dissidents who lived in the US. I suppose that the very name of the INC was meant to create the illusion that it was an organ of the government of Iraq. Foremost among the sundry dissidents was Ahmad Chalabi, who was born in Iraq in 1944, and left at the age of 12. He spent most of his life in the US and the UK . He is currently under investigation by several US agencies and is wanted for bank fraud in Jordan , where he faces 17 years’ imprisonment. Chalabi and his comrades provided a great deal of fabricated evidence of Iraq’s mythical WMD and other such matters to the US government, particularly to Douglas Feith, the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy who led the ad hoc Office of Special Plans in the Pentagon. Feith, himself a Jewish Zionist and partner in an Israeli law firm, would forward the bogus information to people like William Kristol of the Weekly Standard and the now disgraced Judith Miller of the New York Times, themselves both Jewish Zionists. So the disinformation got onto the pages of hundreds of newspapers throughout the country and played a big part in selling the public on the necessity of invading Iraq . What Chalabi hoped for was to make himself the new Iraqi president, and what people like Feith, Kristol and Miller wanted was the well-being that would befortune Israel with a successful invasion of Iraq . US interests were not being considered. In Brookswatch, Part 1, I showed how Dr. Mick had been duped or was trying to dupe others into believing that Iraq was complicit in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. In the same article that I cited in Part 1, the credulous doctor makes this further statement: “And then there is the training facility for terrorists at Salman Pak, where an old Boeing 707 fuselage was on site, suitable only for training on hijacking airliners. Last time I thought about it, I thought that hijacking airliners was a terrorist act.” http://www.useless-knowledge.com/1234/05dec/article242.html Notice the snideness of the second sentence, as if the doctor had been so much more insightful than his readership, and had to wax sarcastic as a sign of contempt for their inferior understanding. The doctor repeated his false allegation by e-mail to me on September 2, 2005: “There is evidence that airplane hijackers were trained at Salman Pak.” But here is what Wikipedia has to say about Salman Pak: “The facility was discussed in the leadup to the 2003 invasion of Iraq as a result of a campaign by Iraqi defectors associated with the Iraqi National Congress to assert that the facility was a terrorist training camp. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has since established that both the CIA and the DIA concluded that there was no evidence to support these claims. A DIA analyst told the Committee, ‘The Iraqi National Congress (INC) has been pushing information for a long time about Salman Pak and training of al-Qa'ida.’ Knight Ridder reporters Jonathan S. Landay and Warren P. Strobel noted in November 2005 that, ‘After the war, U.S. officials determined that a facility in Salman Pak was used to train Iraqi anti-terrorist commandos.’ [SeattleTimes, 1 November 2005, p. A5].” Emphasis on “anti-”! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salman_Pak_facility So, the ultimate source of Dr. Mick’s false allegation is none other than Ahmad Chalabi. Once again, as in the allegations I discussed in Part 1, Dr. Mick has been bamboozled, unless he is receiving emoluments from the INC to bamboozle others! Let me point out that Dr. Mick is a vociferous “professional” Republican and that his article was aimed at Democrats. However, I myself am not a Democrat. This is not a partisan response. I’m looking for anyone who lies about Iraq , regardless of his political or religious affiliation. Dr. Mick’s articles are a real treasure trove in this respect. ------------ About the author Thomas Keyes: I have written two books: A SOJOURN IN ASIA (non-fiction) and A TALE OF UNG (fiction), neither published so far.
