New 'Deep Throat' needed for Iraq, says Nixon rival

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US media needs a modern-day "Deep Throat" within the administration of President George W. Bush to reveal how America was "misled" on Iraq, former presidential contender George McGovern said.

"We need someone like that who is highly placed to tell us what's really going on. We know that we were misled on Iraq," McGovern told Fox News Radio.

McGovern, a former senator, unsuccessfully ran against Richard Nixon for the White House in 1972.

Deep Throat, revealed this week as former FBI assistant director Mark Felt, acted as a source to The Washington Post newspaper, helping to bring down Nixon's presidency over the Watergate scandal in 1974.

"I wish there were somebody of the Deep Throat time in this administration who are aware of what's going on," McGovern told Fox News Radio.

1. Hmmm Richard Clark or Paul O'Neil ring any bells?

Both are high up insiders who have come forward with full details about how terrorism was ignored for the first nine months and how the Person (Dick Cheney) put in charge of Terrorism never held a single meeting. Not one, Nada, Zero. Yet we allowed them to be branded as disgruntled ex employees. There will be no others because of what we have allowed to take place to the others. Sibel Edwards just to name another as an example. She is doing this all on her own with no support from the Democrats. If the Democrats don't stand behind the person coming forward with the details then no one will ever come forward.

4. Sibel Edwards is the bravest of the lot IMHO

Lot more to lose than the other two.

2. We've had Five of them so far...

o Richard Clarke - Former NSA Counterrorism Chief ("The Lights are blinking Red", "Bush wanted to get Saddam from day one")

o Joe Wilson - Former Ambassador ("The Yellow-Cake documents were forged")

o Paul O'Neill - Former Bush Teasury Secratary ("Bush is like a blind man in a room full of deaf people")

o Michael Scheurer - Former Head of the CIA Bin Ladin Desk ("While al Qaeda-led, anti-U.S. hatred grows among Muslims, U.S. leaders boast of being able to create democracy anywhere they choose, ignoring history and, as Stanley Kurtz reminded them in Policy Review, failing to regard Hobbes's warning that nothing is more disruptive to peace within a state of nature than vainglory...")

and...

o Lt. Karen Kwaitkowski - Former Aide to the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans ("the pressure of the intelligence community to conform, the rejection of it when it failed to produce intelligence suitable for supporting the “Iraq is an imminent threat to the United States” agenda, and the amazing things I was hearing in both Bush and Cheney speeches told me that not only do neoconservatives hold a theory based on ideas not embraced by the American mainstream, but they also have a collective contempt for fact.")

According to Journalist Sy Hersh (who was on of reporters who broke the original Mai Lai story from Vietnam), the Bush administration has been in the act of implement a massive "purge" of any dissenters from ranking levels of the government for severals years, long before the host of resignations that immediately followed the placing of Porter Goss as the new DCI (Director of Central Intelilgence). If there are any potential Whistle-Blowers or Deep Throats left -- most likely they're already talking to Sy. ("I've been doing an alternate history of the war, from inside, because people, right after 9/11, because people inside — and there are a lot of good people inside — are scared, as scared as anybody watching this tonight I think should be")

3. good names, but there are others, too....say JOHN ONeill, for one....

not THAT one, but the one who died in the WTC, after being shunted aside

too bad the PBS special on him was more of a personality/soap opera coverup than a real IJ story

Most excellent blog, BTW.

thanks for having today's WashJournal DSM segment right there for the viewing. I missed all but the last ten minutes

Have you listened to Kwiatkowski/Edmonds on This is Hell, by any chance?

he was mentioned in detail by Richard Clarke in his book, and also by Michael Scheurer - although not by name.
