US tried to plant WMDs, failed: whistleblower

May 16, 2004 - According to a stunning report posted by a retired Navy Lt
Commander and 28-year veteran of the Defense Department (DoD), the Bush
administration's 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."

The information that is being leaked out is information "obtained while she
was in Germany heading up the debriefing of returning service personnel,
involved in intelligence work in Iraq for the DoD and/or the CIA.
"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".

Al Martin is a retired Lt Commander (US Navy), the author of a memoir
called "The Conspirators: Secrets of an Iran-Contra Insider," and is
considered one of America's foremost experts on corporate and government
fraud. 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'. The scope of this operation
included the penetration of the Central Bank of Iraq, other large
commercial banks in Baghdad, the Iraqi National Museum and certain
presidential palaces where monies and bullion were secreted."

"They identified about $2 billion in cash, another $150 million in Euros,
in physical banknotes, and about another $100 million in sundry foreign
currencies ranging from Yen to British Pounds," reports Al Martin.

"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." Ms Rogers' story sounds
like an updated 21st-century version of Treasure Island meets Ali Baba and
the Bush Cabal Thieves, writes Martin.

"This was a contingent of CIA/ DoD operatives, but it was really the CIA
that bungled it," Ms Rogers said. "They were relying on the CIA's ability
to organise an effort to seize these assets and to be able to extract these
assets because the CIA claimed it had resources on the ground within the
Iraqi army and the Iraqi government who had been paid. That turned out to
be completely bogus. As usual."

"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 US Army showed up, stumbled onto it and everyone involved had
to scramble. These new Iraqi "asset seizures" go directly to the New US
Ruling Junta. The US 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.
