[In “Coup d’Etat” (FTW, June 8, 2004), Mike Ruppert showed that Valerie Plame was no ordinary CIA employee; her work was part of at least one productive and well-established information gathering operation. The administration’s schoolyard bully approach to management – sending Joe Wilson to Niger for confirmation of a fake story, then punishing him for bringing back the truth – has brought them the contempt of the only organization in the government whose hand is always free; its impunity almost limitless; its memory long. Thirty years ago Richard Nixon was sacrificed for many reasons, not least of which was his hubristic competition with the CIA. When he set up his own intelligence operation in the basement of the White House, he stirred the wrath of Dick Helms, who took a dim view of the reluctant challenger. With their Office of Special Plans, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld have signed up for the same pissing contest that Nixon lost. Though the administration’s boy at Langley has stepped down (along with his second in command), the agency has fangs and claws beyond the reach of such personnel decisions from Human Resources.
The ironies of this drama continue to proliferate. Here’s one: Nixon’s homegrown spy coven was called “The Plumbers,” because its primary responsibility was to stop leaks. But Dubya finds himself spending an hour and ten minutes in the hot seat (next to his personal lawyer) because his people created a leak – the felonious kind.
Dick Cheney is the President of the Senate, on whose hallowed floor he has just told Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) to “fuck off.” This regime is losing control of itself. The supra-governmental long-term plans that illegally drove them into office gave them a false sense of invulnerability. The money powers that make American presidencies had anointed Cheney and crew to run the country, so they could break as many rules, careers, laws, and heads as they chose – so long as they delivered the right number of barrels-per-day at the right price. They can’t. Having profligately wasted their political capital on torture, budgetary pork, and tax cuts, they have almost nothing left now that they’ve failed their sponsors.
In this latest report on the unfolding Plame investigation, Wayne Madsen shows what a long list of CIA people and projects have been compromised by the leak. John “Karl Rove” Doe and John “Dick Cheney” Doe seem to have no idea what kind of hibernating grizzly bear they’ve been jabbing at. They’ll find out now, because it just woke up. –JAH
