U.S. Tried to Plant WMDs, Failed: Whistleblower

Daily Times Monitor, According to a stunning report posted by a retired Navy Lt Commander and 28-year veteran of the Defense Department (DoD), the Bush administrations assurance about finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was based on a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) plan to plant WMDs inside the country. Nelda Rogers, the Pentagon whistleblower, claims the plan failed when the secret mission was mistakenly taken out by friendly fire, the Environmentalists Against War report.

Nelda Rogers is a 28-year veteran debriefer for the DoD. She has become so concerned for her safety that she decided to tell the story about this latest CIA-military fiasco in Iraq. According to Al Martin Raw.com, Ms Rogers is number two in the chain of command within this DoD special intelligence office. This is a ten-person debriefing unit within the central debriefing office for the Department of Defense.

...According to Ms. Rogers, there was a covert military operation that took place both preceding and during the hostilities in Iraq, reports Al Martin Raw.com, an online subscriber-based news/analysis service which provides Political, Economic and Financial Intelligence.

...Ms Rogers reports that this particular covert operation team was manned by former military personnel and the unit was paid through the Department of Agriculture in order to hide it, which is also very commonplace.

According to Al Martin Raw.com, the Agriculture Department has often been used as a paymaster on behalf of the CIA, DIA, NSA and others. According to the Al Martin Raw.com story, another aspect of Ms Rogers report concerns a covert operation which was to locate the assets of Saddam Hussein and his family, including cash, gold bullion, jewelry and assorted valuable antiquities. The problem became evident when the operation in Iraq involved 100 people, all of whom apparently are now dead, having succumbed to so-called friendly fire...

These people died, mostly in the same place in Baghdad, supposedly from a stray cruise missile or a combination of missiles and bombs that went astray, Martin continues. There were supposedly 76 who died there and the other 24 died through a variety of friendly fire, mistaken identity and some of them, their whereabouts are simply unknown...

CIA people were supposed to be handling it, Martin continues. They had a special black aircraft to fly it out. But none of that happened because the regular U.S. Army showed up, stumbled onto it and everyone involved had to scramble. These new Iraqi asset seizures go directly to the New U.S. Ruling Junta. The U.S. Viceroy in Iraq Paul Bremer is reportedly drinking Saddam's $2000 a bottle Napoleon-era brandy, smoking his expensive Davidoff cigars and he has even furnished his office with Saddam's Napoleon-era furniture.
