Just Foreign Policy Iraqi Death Estimator

February 27, 2006 -- Former NSA analyst Ken Ford, Jr., who was subjected to a joint FBI/NSA set-up and a neo-con orchestrated show trial as a result his analysis of Iraqi nuclear capabilities in 2003, is scheduled to be sentenced at 9:30 am on Mar 1 at the U.S. Court House in Greenbelt, Maryland. The Ford case is one of the most egregious examples of the out-of-control neo-con regime targeting intelligence professionals. While not the only example of the neo-cons trying to sneak classified material into the homes of intelligence officers (it occurred with Able Danger's Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer and an intelligence specialist at the National Ground Intelligence Center in Charlottesville, VA), the Ford case also involves a high-level Justice Department criminal conspiracy involving prosecutorial misconduct, false affidavits, perjury, and judge shopping.

Were missing Cheney e-mails trucked to secret White House underground facility in Maryland? Insider said yes.

February 25-26, 2006 -- White House "finds" missing Cheney e-mails. The White House turned over to CIA Leakgate Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald some 250 pages of e-mails from 2003 that it originally claimed were somehow deleted or lost. The e-mails reportedly demonstrate that Vice President Dick Cheney and his staff were squarely behind and coordinated efforts to discredit Ambassador Joseph Wilson and reveal the identity of his covert CIA agent wife, Valerie Plame Wilson, to the media. The e-mails are said to implicate Cheney and his key staffers in potential criminal wrongdoing involving the disclosure of Mrs. Wilson's identity and those of her Brewster Jennings & Associates covert colleagues.

The White House said it "discovered" the missing e-mails two weeks ago and turned them over to Fitzgerald. However, three and a half weeks ago, WMR was contacted by an anonymous source who claimed to have intimate knowledge of how the "EOP" (Executive Office of the President) archived older e-mail and other documents. The source said that it is EOP policy to send archival documents to an underground Federal Support Center at 5321 Riggs Road in Olney, Maryland for safekeeping.

WMR passed this "tip" on to those who have "back channel" communications with Fitzgerald's office with an emphasis that the anonymous source appeared to have a very good working knowledge of White House document handling and archival procedures. The anonymous source suggested that Fitzgerald and a team of FBI agents show up unannounced at the Olney facility and simply seize the e-mails in question. WMR held the information on the possible whereabouts of the missing e-mails so not to alert the White House political operatives of their existence and location.

In any event, except for some e-mails for which Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is claiming executive privilege, most of the the "missing" 2003 smoking gun e-mails involving Cheney's office have been found and these may prove to be as politically damaging to the Bush White House as the Watergate tapes proved to be for Richard Nixon.

Another neo-con compromise of a super-secret CIA counter-proliferation operation revealed

February 22, 2006 -- BREAKING NEWS. Cheney/Libby compromises of CIA nuclear counter-proliferation operations rolled up ultra-sensitive maritime interdiction operation in Southeast Asian waters. According to two CIA sources, the revelations by Vice President Dick Cheney and his former Chief of Staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, about classified CIA counter-proliferation operations, including the exposure of Valerie Plame Wilson and her Brewster Jennings & Associates clandestine work, eventually resulted in the compromise of the CIA's most sensitive nuclear components interdiction program. Cheney recently contended that he has the unilateral right to declassify classified information per an Executive Order signed by President Bush.

The CIA's maritime interdiction program was designed to stop suspect cargo vessels on the high seas, mostly in the Straits of Malacca and the South China Sea, and search them for nuclear material and missiles and their respective components. The unique and most sensitive aspect of the CIA program was the use of Southeast Asian sea pirates to gain access to the interdicted vessels. The CIA's interdiction program began in the early 1990s, around the same time that Brewster Jennings and Associates began its counter-proliferation activities.

Special armed CIA units, masquerading as pirates themselves, accompanied the actual pirates on their fast boats when they attacked merchant vessels identified by other intelligence as likely trafficking in nuclear and missile cargo. The CIA teams, wearing personal dosometers and using Geiger counters and other radiation detection equipment, would inspect cargo holds and containers as the "official pirates" off-loaded commercial cargo such as electronic equipment, small vehicles, and other merchandise. The quid pro quo was that the CIA would not interfere with the pirates' looting of commercial cargo and the pirates would give the CIA teams first access to the cargo holds and containers. The two teams also provided each other mutual security. In most cases, the CIA had arranged to pay off local police, maritime police, and coast guards not to interfere with the joint CIA-pirate gang operations. The U.S. Navy was also instructed not to interfere in the pre-arranged piracy actions.

The success of the program was measured in the amount of material and components interdicted -- for about a decade, the CIA managed to interdict tons of uranium, plutonium, nuclear triggering components, and missiles and missile components such as guidance systems and other military electronics.

After the exposure of the CIA's other counter-proliferation activities, it was not long before Asian and other international criminal gangs and syndicates, particularly those involving Russian-Israeli gangsters and smugglers tied to Cheney, Libby, and convicted GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff, and police and military forces in the region realized that a cooperative arrangement existed between certain pirate groups and U.S. intelligence. The joint CIA-pirate gang interdictions affected a very small percentage of the tens of thousands of vessels that annually transited the Straits of Malacca.

The joint operations were launched from numerous small islets, coves, sheltered rivers, and lagoons that predominate the Malay peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and other islands in the South China Sea and Straits of Malacca. Aceh-based pirates in northern Sumatra and Philippines-based pirates reportedly proved to be the most reliable for the CIA. Targeted merchant ships included North Korean-, Panamanian-, Liberian-, Iranian-, Pakistani-, Chinese-, Ukrainian-, Honduran-, and Bahamian-flagged ships. Most of the vessels were transiting between North Korea, China (including Macao), Pakistan, Iran, Libya, Yemen, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
