Why Did Douglas Feith Resign? The trial that will rock the War Party
Edited on Wed Jun-01-05 02:36 AM by housewolf
Why Did Feith Resign?
Could it have had something to do with the Larry Franklin spy scandal?
by Justin Raimondo


Larry Franklin had a store-house of 83 top secret documents in his home. Has he, or was he planning to, give them to AIPAC? Who was he storing them for? Better yet, How did he get them? His intelligence background wouldn't have allowed him access to them.

Franklin worked for Doug Feith.

Will the Franklin-Rosen-Weissman investigation implicate Feith – or someone higher up in the Washington food chain?

Get out the chips-and-dip, pull up a chair, and get ready for the trial that is going to rock the War Party to its very foundations. It's going to be quite a show.

State of the State Secrets
Larry Franklin wanted to sway policy, not just spill intel.

2. Keep that one handy
If your local paper has any coverage of the trial it might be a good resource for a LTTE.

5. I've heard mention of a Task Force 121 that is a problem also
" Things could get worse for Task Force 121 if it gets dragged out into the harsh light of day. The scandal around the prison abuse at Abu Ghraib has the U.S. Congress in a froth, insisting that the Defense Department cough up more and still more information about just what the hell it's been up to these last few years.

Although it hasn't been definitely established yet, rumors have been flying thick that Task Force 121 may have been involved in directing interrogations at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere. TF121 has the particular misfortune to have been sponsored by the Defense Department's top spook, Stephen Cambone.

An Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, Cambone is more or less the top civilian exclusively responsible for military intelligence, including collection and covert operations. Cambone is an obvious choice to "take one for the team," and it looks like the Congressional overseers of the Defense Department are ready to take him as the first in a series of sacrificial lambs""

6. Well this has been a pretty well-kept secret...
This is the first I've heard of this. I wouldn't mind seeing Cambone go down. Wolfowitz is gone now, Feith leaves this summer but may be implicated in the Larry Franklin case. Cambone is next in line, I guess - unless Rumsfeld is non-exempted some how.
